Caicedobets: yes he is but he is soft and lacks the aggression of veiga
The coach should grow balls and give veiga a chance I will give Viega a shout ahead of Colwill, but not because Colwill is soft. |

kingBolton: Maresca showed good player profiling so far. Playing Palmer same way he played Madueke would have limited Palmer and take away his effectiveness. Nkunku and Palmer playing the double 8 will also increase our chances of scoring..
I love what I have seen so far, just need to reduce our defensive line to medium, like what arsenal do and we should be okay.. You are spot on. I am not sure if you remember, but when he was hired, the news reported that he was the one who came into the interview with full understanding of each player and how he would deploy them. I didn't get it at the time, but the PS has now made this clear. So yes, he's showed |

I wanted to see the tactics, the options, the buildup play, chance creation and identity. I think so far, there's a lot to look forward to.
I was told that Maresca is a tactical dogged-head but everything I have seen so far says the opposite. He's quite flexible with tactics, seems to be aware the minute things require changing and takes action asap.
Maybe we will not win our first game against City (I think we will still not be ready), but I am prepared to see how we grow over the next 15 games after that. |

kingBolton: Am I the only that has seen maresca's tweak this half? When we attack, it's now a 3-2-4-1 with Enzo and caicedo pivot and Gusto providing the width on the right? Love what I have seen so far, my only issue is the defensive line. Well done sir. You are looking well. Palmer is tucked in a little from the RW almost like right side 8, thus allowing Nkunku to be left side 8 and consequently, allowing Enzo to drop a little. And yes, Gusto providing RW width, instead of normally inverting. Tactical flexibility. |

Just see the difference between Palmer and Madueke on the RW. Madueke wants to run first, and think later. |

Me I just dey hear about Pedro Neto news.
I couldn't be more pleased about news. Not particularly about who was purchased in the end, but in the fact that this is evidence that Maresca is a problem solver.
After the last game, I was highlighting vehemently critical issues that could derail Maresca's season even before it starts - LW/RW issues.
This signing shows that the problem was glaring as well and needed an immediate fix, and they went out to the market for a plug. |

Griffon: At least you dey see. I kid you not bro. 92 mins of football, and apart from one failed square pass (where even then Sterling went into a brain jam), our RW and LW did not create a single chance for a striker position. Not one single chance. Zilch, ZERO! The tactics were spot on. The structure is setup to isolate wingers in 1v1 situations, and I counted at least 20 times where Sterling and Madueke found themselves combined in that situation. The tactics also has at least in every attacking event, a minimum of 5 players arriving in the box. But not one single time did these two ninjahs make any single chance. I mean, not one single chance to score from. And the problem is that even though this is positional football, both those players don't understand positioning of others around them. They first want to run with the ball, before computing space and positioning of others. This is why you see them running into traffic, time after time after time, despite having 5/10 yards off space only moments before. And this is the fundamental issue we are going to have against low block teams. It's a serious situation we have. Substitute those two for any unknown, but technically-minded players and they would have created at least 5 scoring chances. This is a crisis and a serious emergency. Wetin shiny striker wan do? |

80mins and not a single chance created from the RW/LW for striker. If we like, carry £200m go sign Halaand. |

Again, Sterling with brain block. And Madueke before that.
Both of them have not made a single chance for a striker in 55mins. |

BlewMahn: Next time, enter market, but CB wey get speed. How can Maresca and the rest of the hierarchy not see this, knowing this is the style he wants to play?
Gusto, na feem u dey act? Abeg get up o We don't have slow CBs. We just have unfit CBs. Our defensive issues look only temporary to me. James, Fofana, Disasi, Tosin and Colwill are not slow. Badiashile isn't either. He's just not a high IQ defender. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by nateevs(m): 1:00am On Aug 07, 2024 |
Abandon this Nkunku in 8 project and move him to LW. Carney, Caicedo, KDH, Enzo should be the only players playing 8s.
We need 20GA minimum from each of the RW/LW positions to stand a chance at top four. Sterling and Madueke will not get this. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by nateevs(m): 12:51am On Aug 07, 2024 |
Maresca needs to start looking at Nkunku/Palmer as our first order LW/RW options asap.
He will fail, going into the season relying on Sterling and Madueke. |

Bluelines69: Both can be our problem sha Ofcourse. But the facts still remain that we can hit top 3 with solid RW/LW and average striker. We will not smell anything close with a P1 striker and rubbish RW/LW. |
