Chelsea’s opening-day stalemate at Stamford Bridge offered an early glimpse into both the promise and the problems of Enzo Maresca’s new-look attack. With six attackers signed for a combined £250 million on the pitch at various points, Chelsea dominated possession and created opportunities in volume, yet they lacked the composure and collective rhythm required to break down a disciplined Crystal Palace side. Maresca’s choice of front line revealed his intent to play expansive, fluid football.
