I don’t know what u on and about , but in a normal team that plays 2 CB’s , both CB’s will go for the set piece happening in the opponent’s half while Full backs (LB and RB) who are renowned for their speed will stay at the back to cover for any counter.

For Chelsea that parades 3 CB’s , allowing the 3 CB’s to go forward for a set piece and allowing a slow DM to cover for them is not a wise decision .

That’s what my initial post was all about. The agenda u are talking about I don’t get it.

I am happy with the draw. Was never confident of a victory, because we always accord so much respect to the Scummites.

Make we just dey deal with the smaller teams, and try not to lose to the big names like we did today.

Na we get this league cool

This was why I was also skeptical, but I think I like the performance today, no too much of that respect, our only issue was that certain players didn't really turn up well most especially RLC.

we missed chilwell tonight,, it was very clear...

another tin was dat we had to use new players who have not been playing to play against a prepared team making us d learners instead of d masters.... d team dat started against Juve would have done better if fully fit
One of my main worries about Alonso coming into the team was fluidity and combinations down that left-hand side. Alonso and CHO had no connection or output down that side.

RLC for all his physicality & stature should learn that as a midfielder, you are not required to hold on to the ball for so long.
He should learn to make quick passes and learn to always spot the runs of his teammates before releasing passes that usually end up in an opponents leg.

This is a draw that we scarcely deserve.
We played with no cohesion & intent and our coach didn't make the necessary substitution early enough.
I am so pissed right now


Thank you for this.

Quite true.

Another pattern I would love TT to drill into the team is to score early. Most times, it destabilizes the opponent.

If we had buried 2 goals by half time, United wouldn't even have the guts to come forward. They would spend more time thinking of how to stop consuming more.

We move. I hope we rake in at least 21 points from the next 8 games

Good point though but you can't blame us for having all three CB in the opponent box during corner because all three were equally a threat from set pieces and tall. The players who are usually the last men during corner kicks are azpiculeta and kante and none of them were on the pitch today and the closest to them in height was jorginho and that's why he was there.

The loss draw will pain till next weekend. May God punish ziyech, odoi and werner. This is why I was clamouring for Kennedy during the summer, ziyech will never amount to anything good, ziyech performance all seems bareable till it happened in the knockout stages of UCL were every match and performance counts, that when you know how bad this ziyech can be.
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by donjazet(m): 9:40pm On Nov 28, 2021
I feel bad about the result, but not necessarily about the team performance. Football is usually about emotions and expectations. Many Chelsea fans were dead-on sure about us winning man-u seeing our form and theirs, but in my mind, it was a 60-40 match. Matches like this are rarely about form. It's about slim margins.

History has also shown us to perform best in big matches like this when we are underdogs or have even chances, rarely ever when we are presumed superior. And that is ironically why we usually find it hard to beat man-u or arsenal recently.

They usually come into our matches as slight underdogs and dig in their heels and end up snatching points here and there with rare moments of individual brilliance or opponents error, Something which we, normally do to the likes of mancity or Barca etc.

Unto the individual performances.
Again, collectively we played very well but some individuals within that group were found wanting severally. I'm hoping tuchel fixes these kinks in the system. The injuries though haven't helped at all. We had no CM on the bench so our hands were tied or forced.
The team chemistry and the momentum we were gaining from the last few matches were slowed down by the injuries to kante and chillwell. Crucial players to our system. Kante has been hugely affecting our game play through the middle while chillwell had began to gain an understanding and connection with odoi and rudiger on the left channel.

Alonso didn't do himself much favors today with our attacking phases, I truly hope he adapts in the subsequent matches.
And I don't understand the idea of him taking setpiece, he is one of our top 3 tallest players who is supposed to add to our aerial threats in set pieces. If not as a scorer in the box, as a comprehensive decoy for the more dangerous nodders in the box. He certainly shouldn't be taking them, not even as if he was very good at them.

Look, I'll be honest with you. I like CHO. Thought he showed promise coming out of the academy.

But the guy doesnt seem to give himself that extra push. Way too pedestrian, lacking motivation and doesn't wanna take risks.

I've never seen a winger who avoids taking on opponents as much as he does. I dont know if its the effect of the ACL injury, but we cant continue with him playing this way.

Odoi bleeped up big time, there was a one touch quick pass he would have given to werner in the second minutes of the game, but he chose to Odoiing the ball angry
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by donjazet(m): 10:12pm On Nov 28, 2021
I'm impressed with how we totally dominated man-u for very large phases of the game. Mendy had absolutely nothing to do for the first 40 minutes of the match. And we really had crucial chances which we should have buried. We are way too wasteful.

I'm fucking pissed with Werner. I have been hoping ssince,that this player would grow into his role, but after 2 years with us, nothing suggests to me that Werner is a natural striker. His shots are very weak for a striker, lacks technique, I have never seen him curve the ball when shooting. It's always direct. I think we have to do away with him, his cons heavily outweigh his pros. See that shot he had inside the box from that corner, see how wide he shot the ball, at least put in on target and make the keeper pull a save. What good is a striker who fits well Into a tactical system but wouldn't actually do the primary Job of finishing

I'm beginning to think we are truly cursed with this striker ish. Why do all our players who play as a top 9 struggle to score goals for us?? With the amount of chances per game we've been having this last few years, our attackers are supposed to be posting large numbers but we end up struggling badly to finish games off. And we need to solve this if we want to win the league.

Lastly, jorginho did a very good job in that middle, I was scared of that jam packed middle but we really did control the game firmly bar his stupid mistake.
But again, that's what it is, a MISTAKE. One which we rarely ever make which is very admirable for a counter pressing team. Just like Mendy's mistake in passing that ball to our opponents. If you watch our matches recently, you actually see that we've been making a lot of those risky passes, it's very essential to our system, to keep the ball moving quickly and rarely passing back unless absolutely absolutely needed.
Our players are trained to receive the ball on the half-turn and have an awareness of the teammates around them before they've even received the pass. Jorginho was trying to read the players around him before the ball dropped but was too slow in doing that. This is something we've done severally within games and pulled off well.
It's one of those situations where something that is done well severally fails. It's very rare and an aberration. I doubt this would happen in a very long time again.

Anyways, unto the next, it's now crucial that we win our next 5 matches if we really want to win this league, there is literally no room for error again for us. Win our next 5 matches and build a lead or drop points and fall behind. I certainly hope we don't repeat the errors of the last 4 years. I hope we come out in January as the champions in waiting. #KeepBelieving.
