Ok la silver lining is Havertz looks a bit more comfortable already and can seen his flashes of brilliance...
Havertz as false 9 to allow werner more freedom finding space to utilize his turbo speed. Mount is Lamps anak emas cant touch him on the left or CAM...
I hope Chilwell, Ziyech and Silva can fast2 be available for us so this squad can improve faster.
Because that snake Courtois force a move to "reunite with his family" in Madrid. Forced us to desperately buy a GK in panic mode. Think it was very unlike Marina to buy a player like Kepa at his price tag.
Marina could have bought two amazing players (from this transfer window) with that money.
Well done Blues. Worth every minute watching the match. Barkley made a difference in making the team more offensive rather than Jorgi. I hate all those sideway and back passes.
Lol I agree.
Better play Havertz at no 8 and let him cycle the ball more efficiently to set up nicely for fast counter attack. Can see how he receive and distribute the ball from the deep against barnsley Absolutely lovely
Since Ziyech n Pulisic not fit yet, I think abraham upfront, kai bahind, pulisic on the left and for sure mount on the right.
Now i understand why lampard needed DM. (Rice). He need someone that can sit as DM. Kante love to move and chase back the ball, kovacic not DM, jorginho is regista.
If we get Rice, I think jorginho, RCL, Barkley totally dont have chances to play again. We already got kante. So kova, mount plus gilmore competing for no 8 position.
Lel Barkley is among our most performed CAM before arrival of Kai.... RLC though...good luck to him...
Last match barkley perform quite good as no 8 role sitting deep...pass the ball carefully and have a good close control of the ball....
Anyway, frankly speaking, Lampard really got no idea how to setup a proper defence.
Attacking parts he got idea but he sucks in defence He won't be long in hot situation if there is no one help guide him on the setup and maintain a proper defence
Game are won by attackers But a shit defence cannot get us moving upward
What to do...lampard want both our full back very attacking profile....even in barca or RM...coach only need 1 really attacking full back and the other side will be a bit more conservative and stay lower to support CB....
Dah cakap dah, it's lampard's fault During the game already noticed the fullbacks pushing too far in opponent's half, leaving only two cb as defense
His system doesn't work cos rb/lb need to cover lots more ground compared to say conte's 343 system where alonso and moses were pure wingbacks but played in the middle (easier to go forward/track back)
Need a more balanced setup where def is not compromised in favour of attack
In 2nd half, lampard just went full retard and throw in attackers just to score. The fact we could level 3-3 is also because lucky only, cos west brom also suddenly mau park bus. Could backfire badly against a well-coordinated team
Yeah i feel at this stage conte is better than him
But the top mgmt burn the bridge badly with conte edi. Lampard only thinking of attack but seem clueless when in transition when our team kena counter
Kante is a DM. If he is not playing as a DM, then is Lampard's tactic.
This makes me remember the pure classic DM in Mikel and Makelele....very discipline positionally but nothing flashy
Later when chelsea buy a pure DM....a barrage of fans will hantam the new DM coz hes ‘lazy’, didnt do much, not assisting nor scoring goals, contribute nothing to the team...dont believe just bukak old chelsea thread when John Obi Mikel was a regular....
Actually did i miss out anything about RUDIGER ? why suddenly he not in contention of first eleven ? i think he is better than AC4 at least not as error prone. Cant wait to see MENDY in action.
YEah shocking to me as well.
Based on ability and experience rudiger should be no 1 if not no 2 CB choice when hes fit.
Chelsea got so many games but im suprise Lampard refuse to rotate Mount at all
I understand Mount is good with good stamina but same like last season...when Lamps overplay him his quality of play, precision & focus drop considerably...
RICE can play CB/DM but doubt LAMPARD will play him as CB as we are overload already. DM then most likely he will compete KANTE spot. I think LAMPARD formation he would like to play a defensive CM rather than a pure DM like KANTE. Yes KANTE is best at winning the ball but a lot of times i see after winning the ball and going forward he seem lost, cant shoot cant find the correct pass. RICE seem more balance in defending and attacking (base on youtube of course, as i dont see WH game), he seem comfortable bringing the ball forward after winning the ball.
To me RICE is not a priority but if can get also not bad, he is english and CHELSEA graduate so should help in CL quota. If he is good maybe open the possibility of selling JORG/KANTE.
Just get him on december/jan transfer window. Price surely will be pressured to lower down a little
