Chelsea had a rather ungainly match against Brentford. The number of opportunities they create is not much and when they have the opportunity to finish, the Blues strikers miss.
In such a context, many people questioned why Chelsea coach Graham Potter took until the 81st minute to launch striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on the field and accept a 0-0 draw against Brentford. Previously, the former Arsenal striker scored three goals in the last five matches for the home team.
Explaining the decision, Potter said: "I know why. He played a lot and that gave Kai Havertz a chance to play. Yes, but I understand the question." In the few minutes of being on the field, Aubameyang did not show much. The most remarkable situation that the Gabon striker had was a shot from outside the box and it was caught by goalkeeper David Raya. Without letting Aubameyang start in the first place, Chelsea turned to a strikerless style similar to Thomas Tuchel's peak at Stamford Bridge. In the near future, Chelsea will face a busy schedule. Specifically, they will play 3 matches within a week at the end of October and those are all tough matches against Man Utd, Brighton and RB Salzburg (Champions League).
