Thierry Henry on Chelsea's lack of goals: 'They pay you the big bucks and you have to make a difference'

Thierry Henry on Chelsea's lack of goals: 'They pay you the big bucks and you have to make a difference'

The Blues can't finish and now see their goalless streak stretch to four games

With no goals scored in four games, Chelsea's attack is reaching a new level of ineffectiveness that CBS Sports Champions League studio analyst Thierry Henry touched on after their 2-0 loss to Real Madrid in the quarterfinal first leg on Wednesday. Henry knows a thing or two about scoring goals himself and focused on a moment when Joao Felix had a golden chance to break the game open for Chelsea. Felix was, initially, alone on goal but could not maintain separation from his defender and ended up blowing what could have been an incredible chance.

"You would've liked to think that Joao Felix would've had the composure in the box. I've been in those situations, it's not easy. But what was easy for me is that you need to have the awareness to cut across. That's the first thing that you learn as a center forward," Henry said on the UEFA Champions League Post-Match Show. "When you guys (defenders) are chasing and I know that you're chasing, I cut across. Slow, a quick striker, whatever it is. It will give you the advantage of having a one-v-one or a red card. Then when he goes on his right foot, he dummies one time. Come back. But I've been in that situation and I like to think that I'm composed in the box."

What Henry's speaking about is something that confident forwards are able to do in order to give themselves the biggest chance possible to score. The issue for Chelsea is the longer that these scoreless runs go, the less confidence that their forwards have. Henry sums that up as well, "I believe that you always have time in the box. When you're not scoring, it feels like that time is really fast. You don't have that poise in the box and you kind of lose it."
