Mike Dean at the VAR. What was I expecting. After a 1000 minutes

Werner truly changes our dynamic

Just take a look at Kovacic wandering and ball watching.

Maybe I need to take my TV to the pitch so we can both sit and watch the game

Disturb:
assist abi mis hit?

Assist. He flicked the ball with his head

More like it. Fluid movements

Nice assist from RLC

RLC - Kova combo has me worried. Too much vacant space in the middle

popizaino:
Ronaldo and Rooney also played on the same spot especially when fergie needed those dieing minutes goals. Like you said there is no problem with it because it even helps to confuse the opposite full backs the more.I don't know why user.09 is even bringing it on .

Because there's so much Vacant space left unoccupied. We need to take advantage of those as it helps create other outlets and opportunities for goal

Also our current style (which TT very much prefers) relies heavily on floating and counterpressing forwards

Ibime:
Yes, by dropping Havertz

There is no problem with 2 players being in the same spot if they work together.to create overloads there. Henry and Pires virtually played on the same spot.

It isnt right now as it looks like we're playing with 10 men.

Also Lukaku needs to move more. At least he used to and feed Lautaro in Inter. Maybe it's the slow pace of Serie A that fooled me

Havertz10, Remember what I said about Havertz and Lukaku in each others space on the right. Take a look at our shot and pass map against Juve, they were mostly in the same spot

Looks like its a real issue TT's gonna have to deal with

All this in-depth analysis for something that happened just 7 Seconds into the start of second half when most of the guys were just getting into rhythm.

I always make it a point of duty to listen to TT's post match comments even the one days after and I can tell u for free, the person he subtly blames most for the goal is Kovacic. Personally, I dont blame anyone, we were just starting and the players were not even fully in position yet

I dont know why u guys waste your time with Ibime, He'll never concede in a million years. He'll make up all the excuses for Hojberg but same excuses become an anathema with Jogginhoe

Amoto94:
“If you have a centre-forward like Lukaku, you need to use him and I don't think Chelsea have quite figured out how to use him yet. If they can figure it out, then Chelsea can become the team to beat in the Champions League this season.”

- Antonio Conte

Maybe but the opportunity cost seem massive to me. Our attack is just too static with Lukaku. Compare it with last season where our attack was dynamic with no focal point

Most of our players seem scared to make that risky pass to Lukaku cos he's always surrounded by 2 CB's at least. They're not used to that.

Besides Lukaku needs to do more in terms of his movement and dragging all this CB's with him

Ibime:
You want to ditch the 3-4-3 that has been saving Jogginghoe and move to 4-2-3-1 to accommodate Havertz, leaving the legless Escortinho to struggle in midfield carrying an AM

You wan't to eat your cake and have it.

This is all you see in Chelsea game.

Rest abeg

See TT's comment below. Devoid of any silly agenda. Same complaints I had, Static immobile players

“We struggled to create our own rhythm and intensity because they were so deep and passive. We were lacking runs. We were so good in training yesterday and not good enough, not free enough today. I don’t know why.

“I felt we were a bit slow and tired, mentally slow, decision making. That’s why it’s a strange one to analyse.”

Amoto94:
He was trying to lay off balls when there was no space for players to run into.

Kudos for speaking the truth. Zero space man, Exactly why I suggested he come central

Of all our attackers, Kai was the only one who kept it moving. Everywhere and nowhere. Look at all the penetration when Barkley and RLC came on

No more unbiased opinions here. Just vibes and agenda

Itsrm:
Many of us had high hopes for that guy and have been forced to swallow the bitter pill.

It's only a matter of time for even his ardent supporters to turn their back on him.

See how user09 who has since been asking TT to play him on the right has quickly shifted the goalpost and is now asking him to be played as a 10.

By the time he plays as a 10, he will request he plays as a keeper. I'm sure by then, he will have to accept what we have all accepted.

Evidence of the bolded?

The problem with most of u is u see most games through ur agenda lenses.

Cant believe we didnt score that wack Szczęsny

I dont know man. Lukaku is just too stationary for me

Damn too predictable

Same old Allegri

Class from Barkley

ShadowWalker00:
Keep playing a winger at rb .

A winger that cannot take on and run into the space in front of him

Ibime:
Kovacic wasn't worse anything. They both made one bad mistake but in terms of passing, Kovacic had made 50% more passes than the fake playmaker as of halftime

I counted more than 4 from Kovacic alone and I'm not even kidding

Why does CHO not run into the space in front of him. I swear he's becoming irritating at this point

Just take a look at our players standing still while others are with the ball. Nonsense

Chalobah is wack. I dont think he improves us

Ibime:
No word for Jorginho?

Yeah...Not been impressed with him.

He's also been quite slow and taking too much time . Kovacic's just been much worse

These guys still dont move the ball fast enough. Ziyech stops most balls rather than keep it moving.

Alonso on the left with Ziyech is even much worse. The Juve guys know they can just push Alonso inside and ignore Ziyech cos he stands still. Zero attacking threat on the left

Kovacic back to his usual lame self. Kai playing out wide isnt working despite being the only one making runs. He's not so good at beating a man especially with Juve's bus. I need him as a central 10 in this match

Kovavic, Alonso and Ziyech off so far

Looks like we're becoming predictable with Lukaku

Kimpembe is such a time bomb

Ibime:
I saw Hojberg rightly attempt to win the ball from Xhaka in Arsenal box after a risky pass from Arsenal keeper. This must be one of those you said he's directly responsible for. You are a joker man. I knew any analysis from you must have Maggi and salt included.

Are u saying he wasnt responsible for any goal? If yes, voila

If No, Lets talk about him escorting to a 3rd consecutive loss when as a DM, he's supposed to protect the back line

Ibime:
I will watch it later. I don't believe your take on it.

I'll be waiting for your analysis sir
