Gael Needs Time To Learn» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « JOE COLE insists Chelsea must keep the pressure off Gael Kakuta for the youngster to reach his full potential.
Cole himself was a child prodigy who was in the spotlight early after making his debut at West Ham at just 17.
Kakuta, 18, has already faced the media's glare this season, but for different reasons.
The starlet was banned for four months by FIFA when the club was punished for allegedly inducing him to break his contract at French outfit Lens.
But with Chelsea's transfer ban and Kakuta's suspension on hold until their case is heard, Kakuta has been able to break into the first team, with his full debut coming in 2-2 Champions League draw with APOEL in midweek.
And now Cole is backing him to keep impressing, provided he is given time to grow.
The England ace said: "He has a lot of skill and has a big future for Chelsea and France, but we need to keep the pressure off him, have him play a game here and a game there and enjoy his football.
"He should not have too much pressure on him. He has all the talent in the world and just wants to learn."
Kakuta himself was pleased to make his full debut, even if he was disappointed not to end the game with a win.
He said: "It's the first game I started and I wanted to win the game, so it's hard but you just have to keep going, I was in the action, and that was good for me." we really giving him a hard time eh?

i also hope kakuta start in the game against everton this weekend. for me, its good for him to gain match experience, be it when the team is winning as well as during the hard time. players need to adept to different kind of situation and must not be content with the current condition. if he only feel it while he is at bench, the effect wont be hat good..
as with joe cole, i think he is trying / asking the media to divert their attention to other matters instead of pursuing stories about kakuta. young players which is exposed too much to the limelight can halt their progress. maybe because they will feel like superstar already and thus affecting their growth.
sad stories with essien. hope mikel will play well during his absence. wonder why ghana still requires him to join the team during AFC even though he is injured.. for me, better keep him under chelsea medical team care. if lucky, can have him back even before february hehe
Added on December 11, 2009, 8:10 pmjust an addition on 4-3-3 formation..this is just my opinion though. i strongly feel there is no need to revert back to 4-3-3. 1st of all, the only wingers we have is malouda, joe cole, zhirkov, kakuta and some youngsters. let be honest, joe cole and zhirkov is prone to injuries and that left malouda and kakuta. malouda is not a consistent performer while kakuta is learning. although with luck, hey can performed very well in certain match..but that is a gamble, especially we nearly arrive at half of the season.
we are no more in JM era where at that time we have abundant of wingers. robben, duff, cole, kezman (he is forward i think but still can play out wide). furthermore if we play 4-3-3 definitely anelka will play at one of the wing and he doesn't like it. our department is perfect. drogba and anelka complement each other and with them, we have they perfect combination of forward. disrupting the flow and chemistry of this formation sure will cost us dearly.
diamond formation sometime doesnt work because of the player that had been chosen is not suitable with the opponent. as example, using deco instead of joe cole during match with man city is proven to be unsuccessful where deco is easily out-muscled by city defender and midfield. and during that match also, we certainly lack speed. so, ancelloti and the rest of the team should analyze the opponent first before deciding who to play.
hm..so long i membebel haha cheers guys ^^V

can lar... malouda is playing well... if not also play diamond but kick ballack n deco off... heck, i even prefer mikel... we can out muscle small teams when we play diamond... but teams with wingers, we hardly can stop them... our wings are superior... on d left side, ashley cole hardly can paly with no wing support... on d right, poor ivanovic def like crap... in d diamond middle, cant pass at all cause our passing is not so good... only play long ball + high ball...

i think our diamond formation is strong. still it has its flaws. it might work against some teams who dont pack their midfield. those who pack their midfield with 5 players will cause us trouble attacking. most of the teams that pack their midfield has won against us and more teams are using the same formation against us. we need to adapt to a game quick and not stubbornly stick to that formation until the whistle blows. if there is no rewards in the middle. quickly convert to playing wide. the more options we have, the more trouble it will cause the opposition's defense.

yes. i do think its about time for bally and deco to warm the bench unless they pick themselves up from the slump in performance that they are in. there is no such thing as giving them more time because time is what we dont have.

Agree about Malouda. He is actually one of our most consistent performer this season. Too bad his left midfield position is occupied by Lampard at the moment. Maybe we could try him behind the strikers as J.Cole & Deco is not doing well there. However, I disagree Ivanovic defends like crap. He is giving Bosingwa a run for his money at the rightback position. Very solid.
