Practice makes perfect, and that was the case for Chelsea in their 5-1 triumph over Bournemouth at the weekend.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jordan Henderson scored a well-taken free-kick in the second half, something that the midfielder had been working on during the international break. Morgan Rogers wanted the set piece<\/a>, but in the end his decision to step aside and let his teammate take charge was the right one.<\/p>\n

\n

However, it was not the only thing that Chelsea<\/a> have been practising. A lot of preparation also went into their fourth goal, it seems, which came just before Henderson\u2019s free-kick.<\/p>\n

Before kick-off on Saturday, football.london<\/a> saw Chelsea rehearsing a phase of play during their warm-up that involved left wing-back Pep Chavarria bombing down the left before looking for an early cross. Mid-game, the Spaniard replicated the very same move.<\/p>\n

Jordan Henderson starred in Chelsea’s win over Bournemouth, but who is the club’s greatest-ever free transfer? \ud83e\udd14<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

It saw Joao Pedro get on the end of it and convert to grab his second goal of the game. It may sound like a simple move they rehearsed before implementing, but it bodes very well for them going forward.<\/p>\n

This season, a lot of Chelsea\u2019s goals have felt like they have come from individual quality that Pedro, Rogers and Cole Palmer have produced. There is nothing wrong with that, but Xabi Alonso<\/a> still needs to coach attacking moves and patterns, as Palmer and Rogers scoring with efforts worth an xG of 0.20 or whatever is not sustainable.<\/p>\n

However, against Bournemouth, their fourth goal clearly showed Alonso can coach a specific and effective attacking move and implement it during a game. Hopefully, there is more of that this Saturday. There needs to be.<\/p>\n

Chelsea face David Moyes\u2019 Everton, who are likely to sit in a low block. Low blocks have caused Chelsea problems<\/a> in the past, but they have an attack that looks capable of penetrating most defences. <\/p>\n
