must we stretch the ball across the width everytime
we dey forbid to play ball through the center

This

Shukusheka:
Alonso is so ass, he is the weak link in our play. Opposition defenders can afford to give him enough space because they know he is too slow to do anything with it. He kills our attack.

To be fair in this game, CHO isnt giving him options. He's been running into the box

Reece James back to his usual crosses. What changed?

I thought he was scoring shots from inside the box

donjazet:
He's being played out of position. It's expected.

Yeah...He doesnt move like a typical false 9 striker.

Dont know why TT keeps playing him there

Not understanding Pulisic movement these days

Extremely certifiable at this point. Will say anything just to ward off praises.

Anyway TT says Lukaku and CHO have tested negative and may feature in the next game

donstan18:
If it was normal with him, y’all won’t be talking about it.

Every game same talk. First, it was rare, now not normal

Rest abeg

To all the haters.

Who else can hear those Jorginho chant

Inadequate DM that didnt even play. Every mishap in the team must be viewed through Jorginho. Didnt hear any complaints when we won the Champions league..

The problem has never been the formation, dont know what u guys are watching. You can always attack with 5 atb; Infact, any system can be attacking. Football is more about managing space in offensive and defensive phases. The structure around it is what counts

Asides todays game we've been underperforming our xG. We have been creating real chances; well if you ignore Popizaino's obsession for Hollywood passes.

TT system works and is taking optimal advantage of the players at his disposal. Imagine Alonso playing LB today or Reece being even more -ve at RB. All his major players are out and even getting reduced. Jorgiboy just tested +ve. We had a postponement request rejected. We've just been really unlucky.

The onus is on the available players to step up. At least I felt some glimmer of hope with Saul today

BlueMann:
With nobody to aim at

Didnt even make sense to me. A short Pulisic in the box, All the 6 foot plus Wolves defenders, yet our guys couldnt stop crossing.

Ponderous on the ball, didnt know what to do with it

We're back to Lampard era. All the cross and Insha-Allah vibes

James back to his usual aimless crosses

AnfieldFan:
Noticed James is playing up high leaving lots of space for Azpi to cover...Azpi was asking Tuchel what he should do on more than one occasion as regards the loads of space James was leaving...
Mount also asked Tuchel if he should play deeper or as a 10...
The whole Chelsea team isn't in sync now...

Wrong.

TT asked him to play the ball forward instead of sideways. Azpi was complaining about no one being open for a pass

TT was also screaming at Mason for drifting forward instead of playing deeper as a 10. Mount only repeated what TT said

Mount, Chalobah and Pulisic are having a bad game so far

Players dont even know what to do with the ball. Playing long balls to Pulisic at CF...Smh

Pulisic playing lost on the pitch

I saw it coming with all that space in the midfield

Havertz10:
How did havertz contact covid

Second Test turned out +ve

chelseamann:
But I don't understand, are they no players TT could pick from the Academy to fill in some vacant spaces at this tough period? Or has the rule change or something?

Why add the academy guys to the COVID drama?

Joezinho:
They would have spent the last hour insulting his life and blaming Tuchel for starting him.

This fan base sha.

The good thing is Tuchel has a fair Idea why things went wrong per his quote below.

“We missed big chances to get the result in the first half and second half we did not find the rhythm consistently and tried to bring on some energy from the bench, but it was hard. We had the lead and give it away with one free-kick.

“Football is almost never like one reason why things go this way, but one big reason is for sure the chances we missed today. We could have been two or three up and were playing with fire. It is obvious we missed a lot of players, big personalities, regular starters, but we will not use it as an excuse.”

Thecassanova:
There’s a reason why we started conceding since RLC. If you cant make use of the ball on your feet, Atleast be useful somewhere else. I showed two instances last night not only that one. Here we could see RLC unconscious of his surroundings. Little 2 secs off like this can be dangerous to any team.

I cannot overemphasize this enough. Numerous times in most games, Jorginho is always pointing to where he expects RLC to occupy.

I dont expect many people to understand cos knowing and occupying the right space is terribly underrated here. They say its just to sit still and pass make I pass. Smh

Not much value when he gets the ball too, never incisive, slow buildup. While Barkley didnt add much value coming on, Loftus Cheek wasnt doing the position any justice.

The bad thing is Jorginho is overworking himself lately, it gets worse when you realise results arent reflective of the efforts

Joezinho:
What kinda fcckery is this?

You shekpites are bunch of ingrates. Imagining blaming Tuchel and not putting the knives in the hearts of waste pipes like james and mount.

Expectedly so.

They are the sweethearts of this forum. Imagine Kai had missed those chances in the first half

Saul is so terrible. No redemption for him at this point

Barkley has been wack so far. Dont know if its the booing getting to him

Leyqute:
Where was Silva during that goal?

Saul played him onside

RLC not being incisive and always slowing the game down

RLC not just on the other players wavelength

Liking what I'm seeing so far

BlueMann:
Shocked that didn't go in

How bout that through pass from J5

At what point are u guys gonna accept that this is becoming regular and not a rare thing like y'all say.

Game after game; same thing

Segedinho:
Lukaku

Werner

Odoi

Are d 3 new covid patients

I could have bet anything that he was gonna be part of the 3

MorataFC:
Wetin dey worry Rudiger sef

This must a joke of the century
https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1535837/Manchester-United-transfer-news-Chelsea-Antonio-Rudiger/amp

Calm down

All signs point to him going to Madrid

In what world is a combo of Kante-Kovacic a thing? Has no one been paying attention to this Chelsea team?

2 drifters in the middle of the pitch. I can't believe this.

Y'all will just say anything to deny Jorginho of his attributes. Good thing, those that matter don't see these things you see
