@StakeFootball Dude gets the ball edge of the box, does one kill in the box and shoots and that’s a potential solo goal? Raise you standards football people!
@Blue_Footy I wish Reece could play in MID and we boot Enzo off and add Estevao. That would be our best 11 on the pitch. Just don’t know how Xabi would make it all work.
@ambassador_cd@upchelseablues@Blue_Footy Relying on defenders to step out and ‘do their job’ is a problem as it creates holes in the back 4. Gaps form in the back 4 and easy for opp slip their CF in. This is why MID must be close to DEF so that they don’t allow the opp free time&space between lines. System is the probl.
@upchelseablues@Blue_Footy But to your point, this will give him a blueprint. I watched the game and the highlights and didn’t realise how many more chances they had against us than we had against them. Let’s hope that it’s a team chemistry thing and not the system that needs changing.
@upchelseablues@Blue_Footy You really think so? Those players finished 6th in Italy, same players and same coach. Maybe they will improve this season but to say that all the players you listed who finished 6th (IN ITALY still) would walk into most EPL teams is crazy.
@ambassador_cd@upchelseablues@Blue_Footy There is huge space between defense and midfield when defending transitions. My issue is that the system depends on the willingness/ability of the players to track back faster than the attackers can run to the box. This is unsustainable. It will be like a basketball match.
@upchelseablues@Blue_Footy Yes. There is a lot of wing play in the prem. Mot to mention the cut backs and the cut ins. I just hope Alonso has a plan to mitigate the counter with his formation.
@uniquedemi2030@Blue_Footy Just picking your brain here but how do you think us allowing the opp to have the wide spaces will look in the Prem? I’m worried that we will concede a lot.
@upchelseablues@Blue_Footy Crazy. I feel like we will concede too many goals to be honest. This thing of compacting central spaces and allowing opposition to go wide isn’t cute. I would like us to put the ball down more and play but it seems a lot is being tossed up aerially and it’s unsustainable.
@BlueCoProject@marvgoathero@CarlitoEsposit1 Are Lavia and Reece ever reliable though? Reece playing CM as a secondary position is also something you are not factoring in. No use in you putting him behind unavailable players. He’s good bro. Good enough to play for us. He shouldn’t have been sold if we were a well run club.
@thecorrection@Himanshutyg_ifs@Ndoni_ZN Why are pigs the only animals that can’t do anything but eat waste to survive? If this was the reason, then all animals would eat shit regularly to survive.
