Hensben, the day Drogba made Obama happy.

Loo I see. Why Obama not watch Bayern victory.

airmark:
Alright.

You and Raumdeuter should remember when this picture was taken.

Explaun the picture to me

airmark:
Against a team that sit back well like Porto, Pulisic or Odoi may be needed.

Christensen really tried recently as i am not yet comfortable with Zouma and Rudiger together.

Yes those ones will come second half of the game. Zyech and Havertz can unlock teams that sit back with their one time pass.

In ucl games Tuchel should continue using warner Havertz Zyech upfront; Kovacic Kante in midfield; Alonso and James as WBs; Rudiger Zouma azpi as CBs and then mendy in goal-post. With this line up we will reach final.

That Felix should leave atletico Madrid. He is a fine footballer that need an offensive play manager.

Lol... Even me wey no be man u fan e shock me sef.
I mean, which coach will use his full squad against sociedad 2nd leg wen 4 goals up, but rest his full squad against Leicester during a q/f fa cup match,. Just the week before international fa!

It can only be madness

The thing shock me too. Ole ehn. I mean is he not supposed to rest his senior players against sociedad to look fresh against leceister. Na wa. My guy wey be Man U fan don curse Ole tire and I sure say the man go don sneeze tire for where him Dey.

Jodera:
Truthfully, I hardly see any pattern tho. Sometimes, I hardly see training ground moves. Just normal players opening and passes.
It's like players or midfielders, make the pass after the run of attacker
I hardly see that synergy of understanding, that you'll know that this is what was done on training ground routine.

This is the coach fault. His tactical structure is average, hence the poor positioning to receive pass.

Trevor012:
No we dance zanku and Gbe body

Its just the technical players you have above the rest team not in top 5 that make you think ole play ball possession, in reality you don’t play ball possession. Your struggle to keep possesion for two minutes all the time when they play.

And you guys had the effrontery to compare Fred with Kovacic.

raumdeuter:
Pirlo things. Rookie coach just like Lampfraud

They should go start with academy or division 2 team.

thorrvik55:
My main problem with Odoi is that his shots are always tame without power at all.. See guys like Rashford, Greenwood, Mount shoot the ball with power but his own is always like pass

He is unserious footballer.

Babamide:
I thought we play with wing backs

Odoi is sh1t, he stops and then starts running. He always shock himself.

Pulisic is too fragile, he looks shaky and tired all the time.

Odoi is very poor at positioning and reading of moves.

User09:
Emerson will be among the centre backs.

Chilwell most likely will play LWB.

I don’t think so this time but we shall see when the game start.

BlueMann:
Knew something was off. Thought CHO, Gilmour and Giroud all deserved to start.

Apparently, Mount is the captain for the day.

Looks more like a 4 man defence this time. Emerson may be starting on the wings...?

Might just be a 3 man defence anyways, with one of Emerson and Chilly starting at LCB, and the other at LWB. The lineup is far more balanced that way.

it is 3 man defense. Cho to play RWB, Emerson will play LWB this time after his goal against athletico, and also Chilwell struggle in LWB.

BikeMan:
It's a 4231.

So Havertz is now a striker? How many strikers do we have now?

I don't fancy the guy as a striker sha, he doesn't have the killer instinct for me.

He is a false 9.

Lol.

KingAlabi:
Hensben I heard you guys hired a certain manager called Holland and gave him a 10 days contract na true?

Cc bikeman

Im driving, in traffic, will get back to you chief.

Lampard tactics made me believe kova Kante will not work. Our players are now daring with the ball, even James was making drives against athletico Madrid..

raumdeuter:
Baba come off it

Porto na easy draw, they are the easiest team left in the competition that everyone was hoping to play

Same team that knocked out Juventus. This is football bro.

Trevor012:
Song of 3mins plus na 20seconds dem give African Giant . Omo he choke

Have you listened to the one sia featured him? Burnaboy is good.

raumdeuter:
Na Chelsea this draw favor pass

Not really. That game will be tough seeing how Porto play.

pamcode:
I hope Tuchel gets the tactical part right and the likes of Werner and Havertz keep their shooting boots on and also no Injuries to our midfielders. It a winnable tie.

Play Havertz warner Mount upfront, Kante Kovacic in pivotal; James and Alonso in WBs while Rudiger Christensen/Zouma azpi at the back in the first leg.

raumdeuter:
Mou and Pep have been in the same league since 2016, show me one season Mou has finished ahead of Pep in the same league

Pep is strolling to his 3rd title, Mourinho is struggling to make top 4

Im not talking about now seeing that mou has lost it, his tactics is outdated. I’m talking about their past achievement, when mou was still at the top.

raumdeuter:
Are you sure you were not a fan of Mourinho football at some time?

Did you ever rate Mourinho over Pep?

mou achievement>>pep achievement. I only have problem with his tactics.

raumdeuter:
The Atletico game is an example of how a reactive/defensive tactic will always affect you in the long run, After a while your team forgets how to coordinate attacks or forget attacking patterns, All they see is the threat of the opponent and how to nullify it while forgetting their own attacking plan. Its the same thing affecting Mourinho to a large extent

Atletico shines more vs team that they go into the tie as underdog, they score first and counter for the rest which is what they have always used for the top teams in the CL like Liverpool last season, Bayern 2016, Barca 2017 etc They almost used this to win the CL in 2014 and 2017 taking Madrid to extra time in both finals

But when they meet teams that are equal to them or where Atletico is the slight favourite, they become clueless. This was what happened to them vs Leipzig last season too, There was a season Roger Schmidt and Leverkusen took them to penalties over 2 legs. Their plan this season was to play 0-0 in the first leg or at worse get a fluke goal but the Giroud bicycle kick scattered their plan and they didnt have a plan B.
You have Suarez, Carrasco, Saul, Koke you have a 120M Felix, 80M Lemar, Correa 40M Dembele etc and still struggling to string 3 passes in opponent half never mind shots on target

As long as you deny them space to counter, Idea don finish.

BTW, I always thought Werner would be an ideal player for Atletico system

You are kinda right chief. They struggle and get confuse against a team that play either ball possession or counter attack with physicality, a team with a tactical dynamism like Real Madrid and now Tuchel Chelsea. And also, have the personnel to match their dogged and physical style of play. I have never be a fan of mou style of play. As a man it make you sit at the edge of a chair shaking your leg while watching.

Trevor012:
