Taguchi:
Verticality in possession and circuit based methodology


I have to bookmark this stuff, this has got to be some Faraday and nikola tesla level tactics

Godx:
Chelsea fans are never thinking long term. It's always now and now alone. Klopp would have been sacked long ago if he was at Chelsea.

reccy:
Verticality kor, graviticity ni... The man is out of idea and has no pattern whatsoever.... Nothing like circuit or resistance methodology on him.

He started pissing me off when he started giving kindergarten excuses whenever we lose. From pitch being bad to the referee being bias to the fans being quiet. Like wtf

Griffon:
Frankfurt walloped Bayern this season, Juve don collect this season, PSG and Real Madrid don collect, so we should all agree that they don’t have a way of playing?

You’re insane.

reccy:
Obviously none. I have not seen any except the newly invented words- community defending. This ,in itself, is very annoying and when you think this is done to cover some of his lapses makes it more irritating.

I'm trying to figure out his style and pattern, none for now. Absolutely none.....

Griffon:
You watch Chelsea’s games just like I do. You should have noticed a change in our style of play from what it used to be when Frankie was in charge.

Tuchel places a lot of emphasis on verticality in possession and circuit based methodology.

Griffon:
Both Pamcode and Bluemann have provided you with the answers you need. I still don’t know what you want to read.

Should we switch to a low block, then he’d relax and absorb the pressure from the opposition, it’s simple. It’s a low risk form of defending, one he can handle perfectly well.

This is akin to asking “Can one who drove a manual transmission vehicle drive an automatic transmission?”

BlueMann:
I don't think it's the same thing. In Werner's case, playing against a highline is the best case scenario for a striker like him, so concerns about how he'll fare against a low block are understandable. But for Gvardiol, I'd like to believe if he can excel playing a high line - which is perhaps the riskiest form of defense - then he shouldn't have much problems playing in more conservative set ups.

pamcode:
Then he should work out here. If he defends well in a high line then he should have no problem in EPL. Problem with bundesliga defenders is their marking and aggression.

ChristoBam:
Lmao. Can you imagine. Guy even called Ronaldo lazy.
The guy knew Ronaldo is affecting the others, but like everyone else, he can't pinpoint the exact way he is. So just kept coming up with different conjectures.

Oasis007:
Cristiano Ronaldo: "I'm here to make history and put Manchester United where they deserve to be."

Bombblacks:
Ronaldo cannot play as a lone striker. He starts on the Wing and have license to roam which is already going to cause trouble to the team set up and secondly Ronaldo is even more lazy than Martial in terms of pressing. Ronaldo is only the board signing[
and In my opinion a big mistake.

ChristoBam:
Don’t give me all of that. This was you before Ronaldo played his first game. It’ll affect Greenwood, Bruno and Rashford. Look at the season of those 3 especially Rashford and Greenwood. It has obviously affected them. According to you, we were winning with the individual brilliance of these guys last season. Where has all the all the individual brilliance gone to?

Most of y’all know the truth. This points to the fact. But for whatever reason y’all just want to stay blind to the truth staring you in the face.

Griffon:
Yeah, speak of Baba Rahman, Werner and Havertz and the hype that surrounded their acquisitions.

I’ve been following Liepzig’s games ever since Gvardiol, Nkunku and Andre Silva were mentioned to me by a friend who I play SM with.

Under Tedesco, Gvardiol has shown that he can flourish both in a strict man-to-man marking style and a zonal one - this sees them defend not only high up the pitch but also in a mid or low-block.

Their formation varies from a 5-3-2 to 3-4-3 and in both of them, the team can use the same pressing movements, and he (Gvardiol) thrives in both.

This is where my attention is - Gvardiol team’s style of play and how it corresponds with the demands of Tuchel-ball, not the league itself.

FergieRaww:
Why not dey your premier league dey buy only English players na...

i'm sure they're so many English defenders better than Gvardiol and Pau abi

Griffon:
I don’t know about you, but the quality of football that’s been delivered in the Bundesliga over the past 3 seasons surmounts whatever they’re dishing out in Spain.

If still in doubt, go make enquiries from Barcelona about their recent trip to Frankfurt.

So yes, I’ll have Gvardiol over Pau. Thank you!

Thomas Tuchel is a big fan of Joško Gvardiol and he will do everything to bring him at Chelsea.@siphillipssport pic.twitter.com/zuyH4NJ439

Griffon:
The league that has the best striker in the world.

Griffon:
Few assessments:

1. Progressive Carries (moving the ball 5 yards forward in the final two-thirds of the pitch).

Gvardiol (5.40 per 90 minutes).
Rudiger (5.39)
Torres (5.18)

2. Dribbles Attempted

Torres (1.1 per 90)
Gvardiol (1.31)
Rudiger (0.31)

3. Passing

Torres (86.8%)
Gvardiol (84%)
Rudiger (88.3%).

4. Progressive Passes (passes that move the ball 10 yards forward in the final two-thirds of the pitch).

Gvardiol (5.2 per 90 mins)
Torres (4.69)
Rudiger (4.96)

5. Error Leading To Shot

Torres has made two errors leading to shots, while mistakes from Gvardiol have only led to one shot. Rudiger has made two errors himself this campaign.

6. Tackles And Interceptions

Gvardiol - 5.4 per 90 minutes
Torres - 2.69 per 90
Rudiger - 2.92 per 90

7. Aerial Duels

Torres - 65.6%
Gvardiol - 59.1%.
Rudiger - 69.5%

Statistically, where Pau has an edge over Gvardiol is aerial duels won. Bar that, the Croat be senior man.

Here’s a City fan agreeing with me on Pau.

popizaino:
I thought experience doesnt count,as far they are young they are OK by you even though they might be stupid .But on a more serious note I think that Torino defender might be good also although I haven't watched him before but alot of people who have seen him play say he is good.

andrewbaba44:
Okay it wasn’t a fluke

Many of you still never rated the guy though

andrewbaba44:
That one was more of a fluke

andrewbaba44:
He won the champions league

Una think say to win champions league easy ba
