Chelsea legend Frank LeBoeuf has hit out at his old club\u2019s struggling strikeforce and believes they messed up in the summer window by not signing an experienced forward.<\/p>\n
Chelsea news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n
The west Londoners suffered yet another disappointing result on Sunday as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Aston Villa, with Ollie Watkins netting the game\u2019s only goal shortly after Malo Gusto had been sent off.<\/p>\n
As has become a theme this season, Chelsea had a host of excellent chances but were wasteful in front of goal and LeBoeuf believes his old club\u2019s profligate attack is now a serious problem.<\/p>\n
Speaking on ESPN afterwards, he said: \u2018In order to win a game you have to score a goal, it\u2019s as simple as that.<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019m very surprised that you have some players that have been playing for, for the youngest, maybe 15 years in football, and then some others maybe 20 years or 25 years, for Thiago Silva 30 years \u2013 and yet they don\u2019t know how to score a goal!<\/p>\n
\u2018That surprises me a lot, and I\u2019ve seen so many possibilities for them to score goals and they didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
\u2018Nicolas Jackson has a future, but last year he was struggling until the other striker from Villarreal got injured so he came on.<\/p>\n
\u2018After that, Enzo Fernandez is not a top scorer, he showed it again, he had a possibility and he screwed it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u2018Raheem Sterling has never been a top scorer. He has been so clumsy in front of the goal, but he does have other qualities.<\/p>\n
\u2018Mykhailo Mudryk we don\u2019t know what he\u2019s worth because he just came from nowhere for \u00a3100million [sic].<\/p>\n
\u2018And the others, I don\u2019t know. Christopher Nkunku is injured so we\u2019ll have to wait until he comes back.<\/p>\n
\u2018If they have so much money, they should have bought Harry Kane or so many others. I see some players in France playing for Brest or Lorient, scoring goals like crazy, being a true striker, I\u2019ve talked about Mitrovic before. Pick somebody with a little bit of experience who knows how to score a goal in the six-yard box!<\/p>\n
\u2018Because we see that with Chelsea. They arrive \u2013 and it\u2019s not even the last third, it\u2019s when they are in the box! \u2013 and then they don\u2019t know what to do with the ball. They\u2019re not clever. They don\u2019t pick the right choice. That\u2019s absolutely crazy.<\/p>\n
\u2018And the confidence goes down and now they struggle, they wonder, and at the end they do nothing.\u2019<\/p>\n
