So, Chelsea thread no dey pass 2 pages again?

Lolz. Maresca and Todd Boelhi have succeeded in burying this once great club.

These present crop of Chelsea players are not spontaneous at goal at alllllll!

They need to go and learn from Arsenal and Man City.

They get the ball in opponent's 18 and the next is they want to dribble their way into the net.

Nonsense!!!

Great prospects for Chelsea if only that Lavia boy can be kept fit. Chelsea up to the 66th min was very dominant and assertive, we only started to take on pressure after he was substituted.

Not only this bro,fast pace and counter attack philosophy is greatly missing in this current Chelsea squad,you see the opponent tormenting Chelsea defence each time they have the ball.The ball possession we see in Livescore is not true representation of infield action.I can visually count how many times the Everton team took a back pass to their keeper, because they are always attacking unlike the Chelsea side who passes with no purpose.This Maresca football philosophy is so bad beyond comprehension...

You are very right....I think it is a philosophy Maresca brought into the team..but the reality is ...Chelsea tend to switch ball back to the center backs each time they win the ball more often than not. This gives them the opportunity to get back into position and go again as the team plays positional football...the dimerit is they starve them sef the opportunity to go on and cause havoc ..they tend to take little risk in possession...now it's normal for a possession based team to play this way ..but if u look at this Chelsea team well ,you will understand they play like this more with the fear of loosing the ball...and not really because they enjoy it

Talking about the counter play .this is still a problem....I can count the number of times cheslea gets a 3v3 ...4v4 on the break and all they do is reset the game ..when then can just go on (like Manchester united does most times)...another thing is they don't really have players who are ball drivers with power and pace. .I think the team will cos more destruction if the go at teams more like they were doing at a point at the start of the season ..but they also risk loosing the ball and getting punish from cut backs

Many things Chelsea need to solve this season ...one of them is getting good ball passers into the team...looking at that team from top to bottom...I can't really find a player that will give 5 successful through balls in 5 attempt...

Not palmer...not Enzo...good ball passers time there pass well and this guyz don't just know how to do it well enough
