  • Chelsea facing multiple on and offfield problems simultaneously
  • 'Desperate need' for striker, center back, and other positions remains despite goalkeeper signings exceeding £40m
  • Majority of fans skeptical about current goalkeeper Petrovic's ability to elevate team performance

Despite spending over £40m on goalkeepers in the past two summers, Chelsea continue to struggle defensively. The team ranks near the bottom of the league in postshot expected goals conceded, indicating a significant weakness in their defensive efforts.

Fans have identified a lack of confidence in current goalkeeper Petrovic as a key issue. While he has shown some promise with his shotstopping abilities, his cautious approach with the ball and recent poor form have raised doubts about his suitability for the role.

The ongoing defensive struggles highlight broader concerns within the squad, including deficiencies at striker and center back positions. With sporting directors failing to address these issues effectively so far, supporters are calling for further investment this summer to shore up key areas of weakness.
