Abeg dress. The midfield of a team is usually the difference between a solid team and a weak team.

Whilst one player can be the difference between a firm midfield and a porous one, there's no where I mentioned in my analysis that one player is responsible for the the team's issues.

Why are you reading in blind mode?
I got your message loud and clear. You are blaming Enzo for our weak midfield and hence why we are not competitive. That's a big lie! Same lie was peddled here by the usual culprit while Jorginho was here until Tuchel won the UCL with him.

Tackle the obvious problem which is Maresca and quit trying to be sleek.

Jota SMH

Liverpool and very soft PKs
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by Leyqute(m): 4:20pm On Feb 16, 2025
Rightly overturned by VAR. Made absolutely no contact with Jota there. Should be getting a yellow for diving

In 1.5 season how many games has Lavia played
Dey wait for Lavia better go find another solution
Lavia always had a poor injury record
The point is, we were more solid when he was fit and played.

See decent game management by Slot.

Conceded a goal, didn’t stay complacent but rather moved to sub an attacker for the energetic Endo to outnumber Wolves in the middle of the park. Game Over!

If na Maresca we gon be hanging in there till an equalizer and eventual late goal happens late in the game.

Omo eh.

I personally think Fernandes is not a good midfielder. Dude might be one of the biggest reasons why scummies can't stay competitive.

Slow, doesn't cover ground and gives away the ball too cheaply.

It's also crazy how similar Udogie and Spence are in terms of build and style. I do think Spence is the more complete footballer tho

Nowadays that many teams play 3 midfielders he will be a liability
Bruno problem is that he is a 10, that role is a liability in football nowadays. It's the same thing that will happen to Palmer if they insist on playing him as a 10 and it's the problem I think Musiala will have in his career unless he develops defensive skills and a big lung to run otherwise move to the wings

Any 10 nowadays will either be shunted to the wing if he has enough pace or bulk up and join midfield

See KdB he learned to play midfield and some games Pep will push him to the right wing

Two mobile midfielders can cover for such lack of legs as long the attacking midfielder has the intelligence not to turn over possession at every chance he gets. If he can help control possession and put his attackers into play without losing the ball often, his team will be fine. Example, Odegaard.

Bruno's problem is that he has a terrible IQ, always trying lucky passes, losing possession and doesn't have the legs to redeem himself. He is definitely the biggest liability in the EPL.

One Odegaard is stronger on the ball and 2. Harvetz play like an extra midfielder which takes the load off

Bruno game is to be creative and he takes a lot of risk which causes turnovers which are more dangerous in the middle of the field.
Bruno future would have to be on the wings cos he lacks the strength to play in middle without being a liability
You can accommodate him by closing down one wing and put a pseudo midfielder like Bernardo Silva of years back or play false number 9(like Arsenal)
It's why people like Ozil eventually got shunted to the wings

Madrid is coming with 3 of Valverde Tcouameni Camavinga Bellingham. They will outwork most midfield

It's why Pep said he can play with 10 midfielders
City's defence that used to be decent now looks like garbage once the midfield fell apart

I agree

They are always outnumbered in midfield due to him but most importantly he disrupts the press. He's always a day late and a dollar short to the press, just like Enzo, also causing his teammates press to fail

Odegaard is the trigger for Arsenals press and is the best pressing AM in the league. You can consider him part of a front 4 when it comes to pressing

When Arsenal is in possession, he always drop deep to provide passing option and help control possession. This is unlike Bruno who drops deep to launch lucky balls upfront.

No team can compete consistently if they are usually not with the ball.

Amorim is just digging his grave by using him as a CM. Bruno will sack him and then look for more coaches to sack while myopic fans continue passing blames to everyone else but him.

Another win for Strasbourg. Another solid performance from Santos, as well as Mamadou Sarr.
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by Unlimited22: 8:05pm On Feb 16, 2025
The mere fact that Paul Winstanley and Lawrence Stewart looked at this team and decided to go for Alejandro Garnacho and Mathys Tel should be followed with jail time for them both.


Jesus Christ. That is not incompetence, that is active sabotage.

Jesus wept.
