We can start the game with giroud/tammy upfront, Werner on the left, Havertz in the middle, CHO on the right.. we got balance lineup but he prefer Mount ahead of pure winger.
mount is anak emas lampard lol must find slot for him
Wonder why thiago (liverpool) plays better on his debut than our chelsea new players? Is it scouting problem, or team problem?
Still, lampard's tactics and player selection raises questions
Sure, the red card costed us, but our performance in first half was underwhelming
simple answer will be thiago is surrounded by superstar that wins league last year. even if he made mistake there will be other player to cover for him. plus he plays for UCL winning team. so, less pressure for him meanwhile havertz and werner are being pressured to carry the mediocre team for their debut, plus they don't go too far in european
but i do agree on team selection. havertz should be AM/SS/LM, not RM. i see that lamps like to tinkering a lot
I not agree just look at vs liv game, our defense still shaky, but much more improved then last season liv has 1 shot on target before christensen decided to play rugby
agree with you since start of the season i can see our defender put their body on the line to defend the goal, just that silly mistake by christensen ruin the game for us not like last season where our defender just ball watching most of the time
i wonder why we always have 2nd season syndrome where managers not performing like 1st season. conte, mou(3rd year), ancellotti and even lamps (maybe still too early to judge)
seems like from brilliant manager to low tier manager like. they seems to be stubborn with their approach and favoritism even it is not working
conte and mou different from lampard board didnt support conte and mou in transfer market during 2nd season while they support lampard, but we can argue lampard got trasnfer ban in 1st season
ancelotti wise, i dont think his 2nd season is flop
yeah ancelotti 2nd season not a flop, but we can see that he's die2 trying to integrate his diamond formation instead of 4-3-3 that works like charm on his 1st season. that's the season where we score for fun (malouda-anelka-drogba combo)
Eventhough tot not playing their best team, every player works as a unit and gave 110%. They followed gameplan to a tee, sat deep in first half while we pressed until we ran out of gas, then kena pressed kaw2 by tot in 2nd half
Tot were the better team last night overall
Last nite you can see difference between a world class manager (mou) and championship manager (lampard). Mou picks players that fits his tactic, while lampard picks mount + 10 random players
Mou may have lost his mojo during his days at rm, chelsea, mu... but I think he got good chance to return to his glory days under tot
i think mou is more of the manager that can manage small team with big ambition it's where all those players will listen to him and he will inject the 'we are against the world' mentality. look at his previous stint with porto, our club (1st one) and inter. that's where he shine the most. big club player tend to have 'big headed' mentality, so his method might not really work there
Yah, but then again west ham has always been a strong team. This one spurs just bottled it after a dominant start First season sudah kasi chance. Second season can't use the 'manager needs more time' card anymore after spent 200m, still using kelong tactics and still making the same head-scratching decisions like playing players out of position because need to fit anak emas somewer
After tgk aston villa game, why did we loan out bakli again?
to give room for mount maybe i like the way he play, really direct like pedro. but his weakness is when in final third, he tend to made a bad decision (that is when playing with us. didn't see that with villa lol)
That’s true, kante is at his best when he sits back but when he moves forward, defense GG. And it’s becoming abit frequent lately that, whenever he intercepts he tend to give it away liao
The issue with mount is when he plays in other player’s original position, then can see chemistry lari already. It’s either mount plays or havertz plays. If both play then either one would underperform imo
Let’s see how we do in sevilla’s match later
this i agree coz both of them are natural AM. it's hard for 2 playmakers to play in the same game. it tend to cause a chaos in midfield
i would play havertz on the match that we need to unlock the defense, while mount where we need to counter attack most of the time.
good lineup, but KANTE have to be really discipline playing the lone DM to do covering when CHILWELL and REECE going up. His strength is always about winning the ball back, and when opponent get the ball, u will see thing first thing he do is charge at the opponent to win the ball. If he do that will left 2 CB expose again.
Maybe this is the reason why lampard want rice. He need someone to stick to DM position and provide good backup to defenders
