Fireside 4-2-2-2 / 3-5-2 / 3-4-3 Good Ideas wrong time If you have been keen on chelsea formations in recent games, you'd discern base formations being played by chelsea. The said formations have been interchanged between games to an extend that people have been mistaking roles played by players during games. Following two consective losses against lower table opponents, the argument amongst chelsea fans has been whether its the formation , the tactics or the players that are to blame. The truth is, all of this things are to blame. Be it 4-2-2-2 Or 3-4-3 or 3-5-2, These formations are mostly good ideas but deployed in a wrong way and a wrong time. With the current profile of players chelsea has, I'd say the 4-2-2-2 Could bring the best of the chelsea fast paced attacking unit of Sterling, Broja & maybe Havertz because of the spaces it opens upfront. It could also give players like Pulisic and Mount room to flourish in supportive roles behind them. For creative players, it gives them room to practice their wizardry in most one vs one senarios created through out. But... The challenge with this formation is it needs two outright ball winning midfielders as I had pointed before in an ealier post. Having people like Jorginho, Gallagher and even Kovacic just infront of the defensive line is comical and tragic. This guys have specialities in other aspect of midfield but not all out defensive duties. People hate it but the truth is, the only almost like to like replacement we have for Ngolo is Gallagher. And its only him, Kante and Ampadu in the current squad that can play this role. James and Koulibaly can also slot in this role seamlessly, but the deficiency in defence may never allow that. But its not just been about the 4-2-2-2 Alone. Its also been about how we have been using it. The effectiveness of this formation is when a team is playing fast, precise passes and the fullback interchanges to create depth and overloads in wing areas. The complete opposite of how we have been playing. 3-4-3 is only effective if sterling is given free role upfront to run wings and cut inside and score like the first Leicester goal. Otherwise it renders useless essence of his purchase. With the current player profile, 3-5-2 is however what we need to deploy consistently now that both Gallagher and Kante are sceptible to cards and Injuries. Disaster with this formation is having Mount, RLC and either of J5 or Kovacic in that midfield 3 besides the wingbacks. RLC unless deployed as a false wingback, is too lazy in both defensive phase and attacking face as his work rate and positioning plus his speed in releasing the ball and passing creates formation cracks everytime he looses balls or dribbled past. Challenge for Tuchel now is finding team integration and cohesion flow. Find the right formation, right players, right motivation. Currently Chelsea has been all over with our style of play Most importantly all these players must stand up and be counted. The way most of them have been playing like sissies has been disgusting. �️@ChelseaAnalysis |
kingBolton:https://www.foottheball.com/players-in-focus/edson-alvarez-stats-profile-ajax-scout-report-transfer-news-man-united/ He's actually a good player, good in build up and a press resistant, Weakness e no too dey tackle but instead he's a good reader of the game and makes nice interceptions and crucial blocks |
timbros:Actually there are alot of positives to pick for that first 25 minutes, we were actually unplayable; nice interchange, free flow of attack,created nice chances, never seen Chelsea played that kind of attack, but we lost everything after that first goal it was clearly not anyone's fault, we were outplayed and clearly Southampton was the better team, moving forward we should continue our 4-2-2-2 formation, we need change of personel, fofona should slot in for silva, kovavic and loftus in that midfield and of course James for azpi, harvetz out for broja. |
Phil foden a Central midfielder converted to a winger sometimes plays false nine for man city this season alone has registered 1 goal, 2 assist this season alone, to be very honest how many top team play AMF(not mardrid,Barca,man city, Bayern) musiala,asensio, foden all those AMF are now played on the wings :Deven martin odeegard a renowned AMF has been played on the wings severally by arteta, yet he dropping those masterclass performance weekly; this season alone 3 goals, this AMF role is slowly going to extinction yet as a player if you can't adapt to playing other positions then perhaps he should start onlyfans |
And y'all still wonder why we lose important games ![]()

Kantebets:And for those of us wey dey watch Gordon since his link to Chelsea that dude plays very well with wing backs he go cook Wella with James I want those two guys on my right side fr
|
I want this Gordon guy on the right, sterling on the left auba centrally, fr we're gonna cook, watching Chelsea with harvetz and mount is eyesore fr |
Kantebets:I need mount out of my team, fr let's not be decieve he's a fvckin average player, we all see what a good winger like Raheem can do for a team like Chelsea, we shouldn't let this English and German hushpuppy to turn our team to a mid table team
|
The only positive about harvetz hold up play and aerial duel
|
Reactions on harvetz performance Can we just all agree that harvetz and mount are both fraud and not good for our team moving forward

114 - Kai Havertz has made the most off-ball runs of any player in the Premier League this season (114), as well the most off-ball runs into the penalty area (37). 114 - Kai Havertz 103 - Luis Díaz 94 - Erling Haaland 94 - Anthony Gordon 93 - Raheem Sterling Pull. � @CFC_ChelseaFC Harvetz is not bad fr, we need creative midfielders asap
|
donstan18:And for real it might just work,cos that was his formation with Dortmund |
BlueAngel444:The two wide players for Chelsea are not static they're fluid they exchange positions, if you check the heat map of harvetz, mount and sterling the operate centrally, left flanks and right flanks, Tuchel job is to create a tactics that create chances and which so far last season we created the 3 highest chances in the pl we created 3 big chances within first 15 mins against leeds |
BlueAngel444:To me Gordons is not a bad player |
BlueAngel444:you lose form when you're injured, you can just have that level of physical fitness coming back, it's not possible and we all know the fact pulisic is an injury proned player let's give him a month or two he will be injured |
BlueAngel444:Nah Pulisic will be in form by keeping himself fit and not getting himself injured his cameo against Tottenham was eyesore |
thorrvik55:Harvetz shows some spark of brilliance against Tottenham and Everton(especially Tottenham), didn't have a good game against Leeds same with mount, but odoi, pulisic, ziyech won't do anything better than these duo to be realistic |
BlueAngel444:I don't think mount has been playing as a WF in tuchel's formation, forget line up, he's playing more as a playmaker and he's dropping deep for the likes of harvetz and sterling |
thorrvik55:And who's he gonna replace them with is it ziyech forcing for a move out? or pulisic that's is not in form or injured broja, stop making it sound we have quality players to replace this lads, we need a squad overhaul, the likes of mount should be a squad players not necessarily a starter |
raumdeuter:playing for a mid table team, relegation bound team is different from playing for a top team, when a team like wolves is playing against Chelsea, Liverpool or any top team the odds are not always in their favor, they play like that don't have anything to lose, I was expecting Gallagher to drop a Xavi, fabregas esque;due to the way he was hyped during his loan spell in crystal but we no know say nah decorated Barkley |
