Bored? No.
Disappointed by the ineptness infront of goal? Resounding Yes!

Same issue that was evident under Frank.
Should be comfortably second, underperforming by a long way on the expected goals.

Hudson-Odoi (& Reece to some degree) is a creative machine, to be on only two PL assists is a disserve to his standout playmaking ability.
Perhaps the board are looking to address that in the summer or Kai's introduction into the team is the difference-maker & game-changer for goals.

To be fair, he has walked in mid season and is probably just managing results at the moment. He needs a summer before you can start assessing performances.

I wouldn't describe myself as bored. It's nice watching us move the ball as well as we are with a two man midfield (for us that's different/impressive), and there's more variety in recycling the ball than Lampard's bloody slow switches through the back 4 that I swear we saw over two thousands times , and unlike Sarri (in the second half of his year) we feel more protected from the sucker punch counters, but something isn't quite right yet.

I will say we are playing the type of stable football that provides a foundation for something better, long as we don't lose the control & defensive solidity in an effort to correct the passiveness.

The elusive cutting edge (which I think OP and others) are referring to, means converting the chances the team does create and will, increasingly continue to do so.
I do feel other teams fear Chelsea more than they did a month ago....this hopefully will transform us back bit by bit into the fortress that we once were. Last nights game was not boring to the fans of the teams playing. The general effort put in by the players to win balls and put themselves on the line is visibly apparent...it bodes well for the coming weeks. Tushy is gradually succeeding at his job motivating the team..as a team.

Sunday's game gives a whole new meaning to the word "boring".

This is very Chelsea like in a way. No matter how much Abramovich might want a team recognized for aesthetically pleasing football, it'll take us awhile to change the perception of being that English team that people associate with having a strong mentality & particularly a strong defence. We're the Atletico/Inter of England.

It's fitting that our brand of possession football be a little sterile.

I was much more bored under frank. Atleast the last 3-6monfhs. But tuchel is getting there in terms of boredom stakes lol
