Name 3 attacking midfielders that has scored and assisted more than Bruno in EPl since he arrived.
Fernandes is the highest scoring FPL player in EPL since he arrived. Which simply means money in the bank.

Those stats dont even tell half the picture - 3 of those 4 goals came in EFL..against Barnsley

the 4 times Havertz played 10 in the league, we only won 1 game

So we should continue to play 4231 where Havertz can give us one goal or assist, whilst we concede 3 in return from West Brom and Southampton.

12 points on offer, 9 of those sure on paper.....we only took 6.

Out of the 10 goals we scored in those 4 games, Hvaertz only scored 1.

Out of 10 goals, he only assisted 2.

Yet in those 4 games we conceded 6 goals.

Do the cost-benefit analysis yourself.
They can't answer this one.

Even in the 4-2-3-1 he can't even press which is a non-negotiable requirement of anyone playing that position.

They want him to be afforded the luxuries of Muller but he can't even put in half the work of Muller nor score or assist 2/3rd of what Muller would do.

In essence IamJ, a 4-2-3-1 AM with no pressing and no defensive responsibility is a striker masquerading as a midfielder and nothing in his Bayer Leverkusen stats will make you accommodate a striker with such goal record. He is completely useless to the formation and pressing requirements of the team if all he is going to do is stand in the hole and not even press.

Chelsea is bigger than any passenger. Imagine a 20 year old boy saying he doesn't want to do anything on the pitch except stand in the hole.

did this guy just called Fernandes goal machine?

Wasted my time cheesy
Yes, he is a goal machine. This includes production of assists.

he has never played dm, he is ambidextrous, that's why people say he can play anywhere but he isnt a dm or cm oga

Ok even if he did, which he didnt, Gareth bale played left back, sign him and ask him to play that position since he played that position when he was 17

What position does a player excel at doesnt matter, let's force him to play stupid positions because he played at that position when he was 17
A goalscoring midfielder never makes excuses.

Frank Lampard never played as an AM in a 4-2-3-1 but in a 4-3-3. When you are a goalscoring midfielder in a 4-3-3, you need no excuses, it will be evident in the runs you make and the goals you score, and your teammates will start adjusting to cover you when you make those runs.

Havertz should do what Lampard did and stop asking for 4-2-3-1 so he can be a passenger.

Barca, Bayern, man city all play 4 2 3 1

Only liverpool plays 4 3 3 its because they have those mobile physical players

Honestly dunce plenty when they argue football
There is only one team that plays 4-2-3-1 successfully and that is Bayern because they have a goal machine in Muller and he is worth it.

Manure also have a goal machine in Fernandes so they accomodate him there, however I will hardly call them successful.

Man City only started 4-2-3-1 this season after Silva's departure and they sück compared to last season. Barca also only started and they equally sück, fighting mid-table in LaLiga.

If we wanted to go back to redundant formation with a low scoring AM, we would have asked Arsenal to give us Ozil for free. Tell your boy Havertz to show us small ray of light before we can rip up formation to a formation we haven't really played since 15/16 to accommodate him.

havertz has never played deep like this ever

Nobody said that havertz can play DM, he isn't a physical player and 4 2 3 1 isn't redundant, 4 3 3 is redundant
Havertz first season he played DM, second season he played CM.

4-2-3-1 is redundant except you have an exceptionally high scoring AM. Ozil, Mata, Oscar, Dele Alli and co are redundant for that reason.

Havertz needs to show us something in CM before we consider him for a redundant formation. We don't want to be like Manure that will be arguing for 4 years about Pogbas best position only to find out he has irredeemable flaws wherever you play him.

if he is played out of position, he wouldn't perform

Until he is played as 10 and flops then you can say that he has failed

A Lamborghini is useless in space, positioning matters

Havertz is an exotic player, he isn't a defender, most quality 10's are useless defensively, give havertz the ball in space and allow him work, stop expecting him to win duels with physicality, its mind that people like that use to win battles


I used most, before some creeps come and start saying nonsense

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2137543-ranking-the-20-best-no-10s-in-world-football-right-now
All these rubbish excuses.

The reason we didn't complain about Havertz price tag is that we were told he can play CM and AM, has played DM and was currently playing RW and even CF.

Now story done get K Leg. A whole Chelsea has to bow down and rip out the way we play, and go back to a redundant 4-2-3-1 formation which died over 5 years ago just to accommodate an EXOTIC LUXURY (in other words passenger)

4-2-3-1 is a dead formation and the reason why Mata, Ozil, even Dele Alli etc don't have a job in football now. And you want to take us back there to accommodate a passenger.

How many goal and assist did he make there in a cheap Bundesliga for us to consider that? Only to find out it's not that much to make it worth it.

GTFOH with this line of reasoning. You people need to produce the Havertz you told us can play DM, CM, AM, RW and CF or go support him on the bench.

Havertz is playing bad honestly. He has that pogba trait in his game, I.e lackadaisical attitude.
Let's hope Havertz picks form and justifies his pricetag but right now he needs to be dropped for the good of the team. When he picks himself up, we can continue his project.

Please do not argue.

U can of course look at Chelsea/Lampard Formation across the season before spinning this.

As for your second statement, Funny how the 2 goals were conceded after Kai left the field( Not saying Mount was responsible)
You must be watching the back of your TV. We are currently playing 4-3-3 with both as no 8s yet Mount is more present in both defensive and offensive situations cos he has stamina to get there unlike Havertz who will just be strolling and giving the ball away with lackadaisical play.

Never has Havertz been played behind Mount. Even when we played 4--2-3-1 earlier in the season, Jorginho and Kante played pivot for Havertz to play AM.

Funny how our form picked up as soon as Havertz developed Covid and how our form declined as soon as he returned.

I'm glad another person noticed the sudden switch of creative style since Giroud started making the starting team.

Keeper gives to Defenders, they give to Dm, Dm, gives to James or Chillwell to Cross.

Same bullshit.

No attempt to create good chances without using crossing method.

The Fraud we bought 75m to help matters will keep loosing the ball.

Chelsea problems won't end until Harvertz is benched and Werner gets switched to top 9.

Imagine celebrating Giroud! Kai!!!!
Our team dynamism suffers when Giroud starts. As much as he may be a good finisher, we lose so many attacking overloads when Giroud is in the team, because of his inability to drag defenders out of position with runs

He is just almost like Pogba, slow execution process both in mind and body.
I hope we won't have to deal with 4 years of "unlocking" Havertz like the scummies have had to deal with with Pogba.

Some people also wanted us to decimate Chelsea midfield structure and play 2 DMs infront of Jorginho in order to "unlock" him.

In football, you have to show something in order for the club to make tactical sacrifices to accommodate you. It's either you are useful or you are demanding too much. Havertz fans are now demanding too much just like Jorginho fans.

As I said yesterday.

The problem with this Chelsea Team is Lampard's fixation with Mason Mount

Do u guys realise he's actually playing Kai out of position to accommodate Mount. How can u insist on playing a guy who's only had 2 assists in 70 bloody games ( 1 of which was even a corner ) as a 10 while playing Kai as an 8.

No one else in that team gets into the pocket of space Kai gets into or has his creativity. Fine he's been bad since coming back from the virus (infact he had a really bad experience with Covid according to the tabloids so I'm not really worried for him in the long term) he's obviously not gonna get better when u play him out of position.

The team is lacking in creativity, It's shocking. All they do is pass it to Chilwell and James and Inshaallah. Also starting to get concerned for Werner but at least rest him for God's sake

Lampard really needs to do away with his stupid pet project (Mount) and play players in their best position
They are both playing as no8s. I don't know what you are typing here or whether you actually watch games. Mount is even doing more defensive duties than Havertz who is just a passenger on the pitch.

There has really been a good improvement in our play from the way we played in the beginning of the season. The players are getting better day by day.

What I think is happening now is just fatigue for playing in the ucl (other ucl teams are not left out.), injuries and lack of title winning mentality.

We also need some individual brilliance from some players to win some matches, which every winning team always have. Only if Pulisic could stay injury free, at least we have an individual that can win us matches.
You are right. I am talking specifically the last 30 minutes of the Wolves game. We got desperate and overcommitted with Chilwell and James often out of position, leaving Zouma to deal with too many dangerous one-on-ones with Neto and Podence.

Like I said, when the game turns to a basketball match, the team with more inform wingers wins because then it's about who can dribble better in one-on-one situations. Whilst we were flying forward and leaving Zouma and Thiago with one-on-ones, notice Wolves kept their back three and Marcal in position at all times. When they finally scored the second goal, it's because James had got over adventurous and left Zouma one-on-one with Neto.

Bruv I get your point, but what and what were happening before Wolves equalized.

I'll be telling lies if i say they were playing well, but why will Harvertz be loosing possession like an amateur.

I know how many times he was in a position to create, take risks, cross or even return the ball back to the passer, but he'll lose it.

Omo eh!
Havertz is wack from all I've seen so far, simple, but let's hope he comes good for £70m sake.

Lampard never requested him.

We lost this game today by panicking after Wolves scored and trying to overcommit. The game turned into basketball game which favoured Podence and Neto who were in better form than Werner and Puli. When game turns to basketball, the more inform wingers win the game.
