Bournemouth 0–0 Chelsea | Do we need a striker?

Another reality check on the south coast. Chelsea huffed and puffed their way to a 0–0 at Bournemouth — and after that Leeds disaster in midweek, it all feels a bit… stuck. We get into the performance, the lack of reaction, and why December and January always seem to turn us into a different team. From Delap’s injury and love of a scrap, to Palmer’s return, Tosin being bombed out, and what that clean sheet actually tells us about Fofana, Chalobah and Sanchez, we dig into where this squad really is right now. Then the big question: do Chelsea need a proper number nine to take the next step? We chat strikers not taking enough shots, dream £100m signings, the idea of adding some experience up top, and what a genuine title-winning Chelsea squad would actually look like. Plus a look ahead to Atalanta away and the chance to take control of the Champions League group. Voicenotes on all that and more. — Support the Show — See more of the show ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chelsea poster from Graficona⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ And write us a 5 star podcast review — Meet the Hosts — ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chris Sheen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joe Kevin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ are lifelong Chelsea fans who've been going to Stamford Bridge for over 30 years.
