griezmann just they evolve everyday barca nearly killed his career though


It was an uneccessary signing though ,bartomeu was sent to destroy Barca with spending on a player we don’t need ,spending on a player which his best position is Messi role

He would have cooked under xavi though

According to Bild, in all competitions, Cancelo played 191 minutes out of the possible 450 minutes. Cancelo barely spoke to his teammates and was frustrated yesterday in training.


so guardiola isn't the problem then ,this guy will ruin his career

It's no secret that many would have preferred we lost to Leeds because of Potter, but Chelsea was here before him and will be here when he leaves. Every win is a win.
That true sha. But that win was like a loss too me.

What is wrong with 3 at the back though? Since Lampard, the profile of this team has been set up for a 3-4-3. It's one of the reasons I liked Tuchel. Tuchel focused tactically on the specific distances between players at all times, making sure there was aalways a passing option in a triangle.

You don't have James and Chilly in the team, see how devastatingly effective these guys are at overloading the flanks, contributing to goals, yet continue to stick them way back in a 4-3-3. In fact, next season, we will have James and Gusto for the right; and potentially Chilly, Maatsen, Cucu, Hall for the left positions, if we didn't go to the market.

It also allows us effectively distribute playing time to the defenders, Silva, CSO, Fofana, Badiasihle, and next season, Cowill joining the squad.

In midfield, we never invested heavily, apart from Enzo and most of the £600m has been spent on fortifying positions in 3-4-3 anyway.

In my opinion, Potter should never have left it. 3 at the back to me is the way the team should continue for him to have any marginal success. He didn't seem to have the genius to set up any other way.

Good submission but I would rather stick to my favourite analyst ibime 's opinion that Jorginho is the reason we played 3 at the back.

I will always love him ,so happy he is doing so well

I don’t even see him as a flop ,man always gave his best on the pitch for Barca

If not for that huge 600k weekly salary he would have been cooking under xavi by now with no Messi

Potter has always been a 3 at the back manager. It's all he knows how to coach. Man couldn't coach a 4-3-3 if you give him Messi and Ronaldo

With the purchases made in forward positions, clearly the Directors are not buying for 3 at the back

🚨 Graham Potter was asked if it might be beneficial, injuries and availability allowing, to stick with a back three:

“Yeah, I think it would. Obviously, it hasn’t been as straightforward as it sounds because we’ve had people dropping off regularly, which has made it hard to have that consistency that you need, that we want.

“But I thought we had a nice balance about us (against Leeds). We were better in terms of attacking certainly in the first half and that's something for us to improve.”

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Ballzproblem2: 12:19pm On Mar 06, 2023
I don't like back three because it limits the amount of body in Midfield/attack ,the board too dislike back three part of reason Potter switched to four I hope it doesn't become norm again I really dislike that formation

all my fellow Chelsea fans, as we day laugh at United e sweet well we'll. but my advice to una is if you want to enjoy Chelsea match, do not watch our men team led by mumu potter, instead follow our female team led by our rugged Emma Hayes, a far better coach than that dunce we have now. some facts about our women team. (1) Chelsea women team are the most successful in england, we have 5 titles, all won under our tight coach madam Emma Hayes. (2) unlike our dunce coach potty, Emma Hayes tolerates no nonsense, She commands the respect of her players, who she keeps happy despite having several world class names battling for minutes. In return, they rarely let her down on the pitch. (3) we are in a title race this season. United have 35 points- mancity 32 points- Chelsea 31 points with two outstanding games. arsenal 26 points with two games in hand. so please if you want to watch the real Chelsea, follow our women team and watch tactical,sweet flowing, fast, thriliing, goals packed all action matches, and enjoy the title race. some of our rugged Emma Hayes interviews and quotes. just read and compare them to our Dundee coach. (1) In September 2019, Chelsea were held to a 1-1 draw by Brighton , and Hayes was not impressed at full-time.
"I'm frustrated," she said during a post-match interview. "With the quality we've got and not dispatch of a team like that... It's not okay.
"I need to take myself away from it before I say something I regret." When Hayes wasn't talking, you could hear a pin drop.
All attention was on the gaffer as she delivered a powerful speech on the standards expected from players representing Chelsea.
"Some of you haven't been good enough. We expect more. You should expect more. So many of you were sh*t.
"It felt like deja vu from last year. This is a business. Is the consequence that clear in your mind? If it isn't, you need to become clear.
"This is f***ing Chelsea. We demand a lot from this environment. We will give you everything. You put it in.". (2). Emma Hayes called her Chelsea team "sloppy" despite returning to the top of the Women's Super League by beating Tottenham 3-2.
Chelsea lead Manchester United by two points after they were held at home by Everton.
However Hayes felt Chelsea were below their best and she was relieved they were able to "grind" out a win.
"It was just sloppy. I thought it was sloppy from us defensively," she told BBC Two after the game.
"Both goals we could've prevented as a result of us switching off. We can control those things and we as a team have to be mindful of that.
"This is a tough league and to everybody who thinks it's going to be near-perfect performances, it's not. It's going to be a grind to the end and I'm happy to have three points.". some more facts (1) What have Chelsea won under Emma Hayes?
Hayes became the Chelsea manager back in 2012 and since then, she has guided the club to a record five WSL titles, four FA Cups, two League Cups, and the Community Shield.
The 46-year-old has scooped five Manager of the Season awards, including the last three back-to-back. (2) Chelsea fans want Emma Hayes in charge of men's team
"Get her in charge of the mens," one fan commented. "Ruffle a few feathers". Another posted: "The whole of men's team needs talking like this".
Some supporters were more demanding, with one simply writing: "Bring her NOW to the men’s side!!!!". as for me I fully support bringing her to coach the men's team, and sending that dunce to the women's team, I'm sure the ladies will reject him too.
This is longer than a preface 😂

we are not spending 600M to play a tactics that was said to hide players deficiency..


Haven't the players who they said to have that deficiency gone?

Rudiger, Alonso, jorginho, Christensen


Why should we stick to 3-4-3 to salvage points. Instead of playing football that will make us dominant.

You don't sign big amount of players to play 3-4-3. Brighton playing four at the back do not have players as much experienced than us.


Spend 590M and be dominant...

This is a myth. You are only parroting the talking points of others. Form your own opinion.

Until James and Chilly got injured, I failed to see a game where we were not the overwhelmingly dominant team under Tuchel. I think City and Madrid away were the only teams that dominated us with James and Chilly present. Go and rewatch what we did to Juventus at SB in a 3-4-3.

It is a myth that you cannot be dominant with a 3-4-3. I don't want to get into the debate of whose deficiencies were being covered with the deployment of the set-up.

Regarding the extra body in midfield, Tuchel solved that problem by evolving Chilly and James to be tactically aware and tuck into midfield at intervals between attacking and defensive positions. Some say it was to cover for Jorghinho, but it was also to provide outlets for tactical flexibility in midfield, so it appeared at times that we were playing with 3 in the midfield depending on the phase of play in time.

3-4-3 is not synonymous with defensive play. You just need a tactical genius like Tuchel to show you how. Imagine what he could do with these crop of players.

Laporte has experienced niggling fitness/injury problems over the years. Its logical to ease him in slowly as his replacements have always done a decent job in his stead.

if any player should be complaining, it should be Mahrez.

How many of your newly signed players played 3 at the back in their previous clubs?

many postulated here that the reason Chelsea were being reactive and play 3 at the back is to cover some deficiency and a short term fix until you get the right players to play expansive football

3 at the back is not a style you use for proactive football, as you have 10outfield players by playing 3 atb, plus 2 wingbacks plus 1/2 DM. that is effectively 6 to 7 defensive players. The only coach who uses 3 ATB as his default formation is Cuntay and we know the type of haram football he resort to 70% of the time

There is a reason many TOP coaches and top clubs don't use it. And growing up 3-5-2 is mainly associated with Cattenacio and Italian NT

Tuchel before his stint at Chelsea was not a 3ATB coach either in Dortmund or in PSG
