Segedinho:
I don't think Kovacic has anythin to do with it

Kovacic is a good player but lack d final touch.

I would understand if u had said "James" d guy tends to kill attack by his back passes even when there is better option forward...
Yes it’s James, his forward pass is abysmal. Azpi is still better than him as a full back.

Segedinho:
I observed a twist or rather a tweak in Chelsea's recent games...

We tends to go direct instead of unnecessarily holding onto the ball and passing around..

Who else notice this...huh
I noticed it too, it’s Havertz effect, he is direct with his play. In ucl final, kova Kante pivotal, Havertz Mount and warner to start upfront. Pulisic as sub. Azpi should be managed before that day to play RWB because James kill attack.

Anytime Hazard comes back from injury our form will drop. This aint coincidence, this just shows that Hazard disbalances our team.
Because your midfielders don’t play through him.

They rotate upfront but on paper Havert played SS/false 9.

Which Jorginho? Is it so that your agenda would make sense? Was Jorginho playing in UCL whenever Kante and Kova were fit. See this one. TT tell you say em no know wetin make sense pass?
Kova Kante for final no story.

Havertz suprised me shocked.
The way he bodied Ramos, and had him chewing grass was legendary cool.
I told you Havertz is mentally strong. I was praying for tuchel to start him tonight and he did. In a tensed game like this Pulisic is good as a sub, when opponent is tired. Starting Pulisic in a tensed game can disrupt the game either by getting injured or mentally fragile which becomes an advantage to opponent.

psychologically, Havertz is more needed in this game than Pulisic.

Almajirihunter:
So Havertz has that warrior type of play? undecided
Havertz is strong mentally. Also we need to be thinking of defending our away goal while searching for one, the reason for Havertz starting.

BikeMan:
What are you saying? Pulisic scored the only goal cry

I don't know how I feel about Werner and Havertz against Madrid.
Pulisic is talented but he doesn’t have that warrior type of play in his game, he look fragile and brings emotions to the team spirit which automatically become an advantage to opposition.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by hensben(m): 6:52pm On May 05, 2021
Tuchel did well benching Pulisic for Havertz. We would’ve won that first leg if he started this front line.

How much is needed to overhaul an ageing team before they can win trophies? or you expect him to continue using Yaya Kompany, Sagna etc who went into retirement
Abi why is Chelsea not using Gary Cahill and Cech right now
Basically, your complaint is How dare Pep did not win with players who are old and retired
im not complaining I’m only saying he is the only manager that has the liberty of signing a player this window, the next one same player is sold to buy another one. With that alone he is ahead of other managers already. E.g, nolito, bravo, mangalore, fernando, Danilo, etc. No top six coach in the league has that luxury.

So why do successful clubs hire coaches?

E.g Naggelsman hired by Bayern, what would he win that has not been won before by the players? That means nothing Naggelsman can win will qualify as a success given your criteria

Same for any coach who managed Madrid, Barcelona Liverpool etc
Will the coach overhaul Bayern and spend 1b before winning those trophies?

By conforming and using the best talent in messi of course the tactics became popular, just as Conte made 3 at the back popular.

KingAlabi:
Yeah, he has age on his side and he has improved somewhat in his attacking duties.

Did you know that wan bissaka has more goal contribution in the premier league than Reece James this season? cheesy
I’m not a fan of James like that honestly, irrespective of his offensive play he is limited too.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by hensben(m): 10:27am On May 05, 2021
KingAlabi:
Before United both wan bissaka, we knew he was a defense minded RB(his primary duty), what was looked at was his age and the possibility of putting some attacking traits into his game(which has been quite successful).
Bissaka was no waste of money if you ask me.
The guy is good defensively, but no top clubs use his type of full back any longer.

England Call up na by press hype and him no get luck for that side. that kind chest control no dey give u balance.
Technically, poor controlling skills like chest control, trapping and ball movement are the traits of amateur players. Not true, Wan Bissaka is not better than any of those RB been called up. Like I said his pattern of play is old school.

His style doesn’t work that much now, he still hasn’t come to terms with that,

that’s why to me SAF will always be the GOAT manager, he always adapts.

that can be argued, Spain were already playing tiki taka with Luis Aragones.

Pep though really brought it to limelight.
Yes, that’s what I am saying at the bolded. I know he is not the one that started it.

ouzo1:
but na professional him suppose be na. For someone who was a winger for that matter.
He is not getting England call up for a reason even when he is playing for Man U. The guy is not a modern day RB. He is not expressive with the ball, just tackles like old school defenders. I remember then, our coach then always shout at us when we chest ball like that.

This is amateur way of controlling the ball with your chest. Lol.

of course he has, Mourinho is and will always be one of the greatest managers ever. But he’s not that much NOW.

He is past his prime.

Pep now is among the best of the current crop.
I think the type of players mou use for his tactics are no longer playing football. Mou tactics rely strength, pace and counter attack and only average team want to play that way now.

Pep tactics revolutionized modern day football I think.

It's not about the amount of money spent but the quality of the signings. Imagine, signing a right back that can't attack for 50 million, A midfielder that can't pass for 54 million and a defender that can't head the ball properly for 80 million and you want to win trophies cheesy cheesy.

Pathetic!
This is why it’s good to have a quality coach, they spot technical players and not jam body. In football, technicality before strength and physique. You see Bruno performing because he is very technical with the ball. Pogba was mismanaged if not he would’ve being consistent.

What you're failing to grasp is longevity.
If I give pep £1b today, I know that from now till 5yrs time(and more) my team will still be youthful, play attractive football and win major trophies year in year out. All these without having issues with almost all my squad

Tell me, can you say same about Mou?.
Will Mou give you that after 2 seasons sef? Why then should I trust Mou with my £1bn
You have a point tho.

The condition of the club was that they had exceptional players in almost all position yet Mourinho couldnt make a final with them

Mourinho has now shown that his level is Spurs and Roma
Is it not funny that when Mourinho was signing for Roma, Pep was making a CL final
Simply because pep always go for the easy route so as to remain relevant. Aside man city or maybe psg which other team is ready to spend 1b on players without selling valuable players too for fees. Pep always run from task jobs.
Exceptional players that were underperforming in Europe.

Illimitable:
Don’t mind the hater.

This was what Florentino Perez said about Mourinho during the ESL interview….

”Mourinho raised the level of competitiveness in the three years that he was here. And since 2011 we have reached nine of 11 Champions League semi-finals. I will always be grateful to him for that gene that he implanted in us. Before [Mourinho arrived] we were always getting knocked out in the last 16."
They know the truth admitting it is their problem. Who doesn’t know mou made Madrid formidable again by making three ucl semi final in a role.
