Werner should have taken this though

At least for his confidence

Match dey dicey at 0-0 you want make player take penalty to gain confidence?

Is it a football match or a psychotherapy session?

FBS:
Waiting for the "new manager effect" to pass before we know how far but I do like what I see.
Massive improvement.

The return to a back 3 is looking like a masterstroke as it negates defensive frailty of the team especially those of Rudiger as he is more composed playing as a LCB than a conventional CB. The only problem I can see is the inability of the forward players taking their chances and rapping up games early. For example Chelsea should have scored 2 to 3 goals in the first half with the good number of chances and excellent positions the team got into.

It will be interesting to see how guys like Chilwell, Ziyech, Havertz, and Abraham are utilized in this new system. Chilwell is looking fūcked though as Alonso is one of the best LWB in the world and Chilwell's spot in the England team for the Euros is in great danger from Shaw and James Justin (at Leicester).

Correct. We get into excellent positions but not really creating the chances. I am confident that we will get there plus, boys need to learn take shots outside the box.
Chilwell is obviously not chilling well, cause at the moment, Alonso ain't going no where unless his performance drops.
I just like how sharp we look and the movement on and off the ball. Its with purpose.

hensben:
Christensen is inviting pressure to the team with his fragility and layback. See the way Silva has being pushing tottenham backward with his reading of the game from the back when with the ball.

So sad for the lad, especially now that Shaw and Justin are flying

For the first time in his coaching career, Mourinho lost 2 home league matches consecutively.

ItGeek:


From the few matches I have watched on Werner, he does not like crowded 18 yard boxes, he wants to be released into space, most times he makes runs and the ball does not come. His confidence is low yes, but the midfield needs to start supplying our attack with the right ammunition rather than holding or running unnecessarily with the ball.

We are not a small team that teams give us uncrowded penalty box to run into. If you can't play in crowded penalty box, a small team that play on counterattack would suit you better

popizaino:


He won us in the league 2017/2018 under conte when he was with man united.

And 2-0 at Old Trafford in 2016/17. I attended that game

User09:


Only 2 in the midfield.

Mount was an inside forward/false 9

Mount played a lot behind Werner and Hudson-Odoi, and he was often ahead of J5 and Kovacic, somewhere in/around the middle of Spurs' half. He would often position himself to receive the ball on the half turn, which is something he does very well by the way.

At least that was the case for most of the 65-70mins I watched.

Tochex101:

You get eyes, the half turn is such a beauty, he’s also confident and knows where the goal is.

Una get eyes! He possesses a very sharp and very tidy half turn. This is very important in kinking the midfield with the attack.

User09:


In what way please?

Why should we waste our time explaining? BT Sports gave him MOTM and you think there is a conspiracy. I mean, how low does this shit have to go before it starts to become extremely stupid engaging in it?

Breakfast

Chelsea have won more Premier League matches against Tottenham (31) than we have against any other team in the competition

Nope

Just the usual British agenda with one of their own.

It isnt even helping him at the moment cos he seems too eager on his final balls.

I thought he was undeserving of a MOTM and would really entertain a contrary view. Looks like the bar is low for him

Well he was part of the front 3 and not the midfield. He tends to drift a lot; maybe that why u saw him in the midfield.

I do agree with you on the turn though, its something he does really well especially as it creates space for others

Chelsea interested in Nicolas Suleiman. Airmark how far?

If he can rediscover his Hoffenheim form and add a bit of calmness to it I will take him.

patrickmuf:
Every other thing is true except the bolded... Kovacic for all his abilities on the ball is a very poor passer of the ball... Maybe it's his lack of trust in his passing ability that is behind his good handling of the ball...

Jorginho will do so much more with a quick pass out wide to a winger...

The bolded is false.

Omo anytime Bayern wan sell anybody, make una check the player o.

They haven't sold any big player who has done very well since Toni Kroos.

Schweinsteiger. Gotze. Hummels. Thiago is currently playing 5-a-side football on an 11-a-side pitch. No one wants to take Boateng and Alaba off their hands again.

Anytime Bayern want to sell a player, watch him very well.

You're right, he himself said he was playing a bit as a false nine while dropping into the no.10 position.
