Chelsea’s inconsistency in front of goal has become a glaring issue this season, with the team squandering more big chances than any other side in the Premier League. A staggering 73 clear-cut opportunities have gone begging — a stat that not only reflects poor finishing but also a lack of composure in decisive moments.

While the Blues sit sixth with 54 points, the contrast with table-toppers Liverpool is stark. Jurgen Klopp’s men have also missed 72 big chances, but their ruthlessness in key moments has helped them accumulate 73 points — a 19-point gap that speaks volumes about efficiency.

Much of the attention has fallen on Chelsea’s forward line. Nicolas Jackson, despite his tireless running and movement, has failed to find the back of the net in 2025. Cole Palmer, Chelsea’s most consistent attacker earlier in the season, has only managed two goals this calendar year — a clear drop-off from his previous form.

The frustration isn’t just among fans; it’s echoed in every press conference and post-match analysis. Chelsea are creating the chances — that much is clear. But without a clinical edge, those chances mean little. In a season where fine margins determine Champions League qualification, Chelsea’s profligacy could cost them dearly.

Unless the team rediscovers its scoring touch soon, even a top-six finish might be under threat. For now, the numbers don’t lie — and they paint a worrying picture.
