A complete and healthy spine, and leadership in key areas.
We started off with key players missing and tired. Then we started losing key players for extended periods. Nasri, Silva, Aguero, Vinny, Dzeko, and Yaya have all taken turns out, and for stretches we've missed multiple at once. This is compounded losing our leader at the back for a stretch, we don't win when we don't have our leader in midfield playing, and not seeing Kun or any striker in some matches means we have nobody taking charge up front. The result is not only a loss of talent, but a lack of confidence - players see Jovetic up front and think twice about passing. They look up and see Fernando instead of Yaya and look for someone else to pass to. They look back and see Mangala and hesitate going forward knowing they need to worry about losing the ball and getting back.
So while there clearly has been some kind of spark missing, it's understandable. That we could possibly be two points back of a team that has put the same team out all season long by Saturday night should be cause for optimism. Chelsea's first team have to be knackered by now and will stutter more as they run out of steam. By contrast, In a couple of weeks time, for the first time all season we could have it all come together with a full and healthy squad, some relatively fresh players, and we add the top scorer from 2014 into the mix as well. What's missing is about to return.
Our mojo will be back soon. In plenty of time for the league. Hopefully in time for Barca as well.
