Raheem Sterling misses an incredible goal which weighs down Chelsea and is badly dismantled!

The days go by and look almost the same for Mauricio Pochettino and his men. In difficulty since the start of the season when they were exempt from the European Cup, the Chelsea Blues still cannot escape their catastrophic sporting situation. Closer to the relegation zone than to the head of the Premier League, Chelsea nevertheless have the squad they need to play leading roles in the English championship. This Sunday, as part of the 18th day, Nicolas Jackson and his teammates fell again. However, they had the possibility of doing better, especially if Raheem Sterling had made the right decision in the first part.

Traveling to the pitch at Molineux Stadium, Chelsea had an obligation to achieve results against a Wolves team also in difficulty this season. Well into the match, Thiago Silva and his partners took possession of the ball. Serious in the circulation of the ball, the Blues created a few scoring opportunities, including a clear one after the half hour of play.

 Sterling’s unforgivable failure

Indeed, in the 32nd minute, Sterling, the England international (82 caps, 20 goals), clearly had the ball to open the scoring but took it away. Alone facing the goalkeeper José Sa after recovering the ball from the feet of Joao Gomes, the former Manchester City player opted for the individual solution which he missed when he had the possibility of slipping the ball to Cole Palmer or Nicolas Jackson , alone at his side. With a terrifying inefficiency that we have known from him since the start of his career, Raheem Sterling once again provoked the anger of several Chelsea supporters who were merciless towards him.

Especially in the second period, things went badly for the Blues with two goals conceded in the 51st (Mario Lemina) and 90+3 (Matt Doherty), synonymous with defeat. Many fans don’t understand Sterling’s choices. Despite offering an assist to the returning Christopher Nkunku in the last seconds of the match to reduce the score, the 29-year-old player does not improve his rating at all.

Chelsea still in the abyss

Thanks to the bad choices of Pochettino’s men who have failed to change Chelsea’s negative spiral since his arrival, the London club is provisionally in 10th place with 12 points collected in 18 matches. While the leader, Arsenal, is 40 points away, a gap of 18 points, it must be said that the Blues are still on the way to a catastrophic season like last season. To return to the Champions League, we must hold on to at least 4th place, currently at 14 points.

“  We deserved much more today. We have to keep pushing. What is the solution ? Young teams learn from this type of match. We have players who are playing in the league for the first time. They have to adapt. It’s a question of confidence and quality ,” the Chelsea manager told Sky Sports, refusing to damn any one player after this Sunday’s encounter.

It must be said, Chelsea have several young people in their squad and for things to move forward, we will need a real confidence boost from the veterans or the experienced who are supposed to guide the club through these difficult times. In any case, this Sunday, it is Sterling that Internet users designate as the real scapegoat for the defeat. The Twittersphere can’t believe his incredible miss in the 32nd minute which could have put Chelsea in safety and changed the situation of this 18th day.
