For most footballers and managers, the opportunities to win silverware are few and far between.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s why talkSPORT\u2019s Jamie O\u2019Hara and Dean Saunders couldn\u2019t quite wrap their heads around Chelsea\u2019s <\/a>lackadaisical approach to attacking the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final tie against Arsenal.<\/a><\/p>\n

Chelsea finished with 11 shots against Arsenal but only two were on target<\/figcaption>Getty<\/figcredit><\/figure>\n

The onus was on the Blues to make something happen on Tuesday evening at the Emirates Stadium given they were down 3-2 on aggregate.<\/p>\n

However, Liam Rosenior<\/a>\u2018s side displayed a serious lack of attacking guile and invention as a late Kai Havertz<\/a> dagger sealed a 1-0 victory on the night for the Gunners.<\/p>\n

Chelsea\u2019s frustration in the final third was no more evident in the dying stages of the contest, as they knocked the ball from side-to-side but could not probe their way around a resolute Arsenal defence.<\/p>\n

Aimless crosses were swung in, only to be cleared to safety by the foreheads of the men in red while some Blues players dribbled the ball into a dead end, forcing a backwards pass.<\/p>\n
