We need to have a manager who can deal with pressure without sticking his head up his backside. We've lost the last three games in no small part because Maresca refused to use something that worked and instead went full Pep-mode in doing useless fancy shit to reinvent the wheel that didn't actually work. Enzo scored goals when he was playing a left sided 8/10 hybrid, making runs into the box. Palmer was crushing it when he was a 10 in the right halfspace. Cucurella was the best left back in the league when he was mostly inverting into DM but occasionally drifting high. So instead of doing the obvious thing and doing what works, Maresca has been fancying a diamond with Palmer CAM drifting left (where he's largely useless), Cucu playing higher as a left sided midfielder meaning he's wingbacking more (which he's not very good at) and being an attack dog less (which he is very good at), and it sends Enzo out on the right where he's almost no use at all to anyone. And it isolates the hell out of the wingers, all of whom have been terrible every single time we've tried this. It's just a bad idea.
Cucurella playing as winger was to accommodate Felix. That resulted in a domino effect you've listed. By the end of the game against Ipswich, we went back to our original setup with Sancho as left winger as Maresca saw Felix, Nkunku, Palmer trio wasn't working. Fans demanded to 'trust' the squad, he did. The stones pelted at Maresca have been unwarranted past few weeks; we're just in bad form. City have won 2 in 14 with better players. These things happen. If we don't get top 4 then there's something to talk about, but for now we're in it. Fans won't be happy no matter what he does if we don't get the 3 points. There isn't even a coherent take among fans currently, apart from the Disasi hate perhaps.
@@hnaku8748 At the end of the Ipswich game, we'd gone back to the midfield diamond with Cucu left side, Enzo right side, and Palmer up front and slightly leftwards. What we did not do was use Cucu as a DM bottom left, Enzo top left, Palmer top right, and Caicedo bottom right. If you think otherwise then check a heatmap for Cucu, for Enzo, for Palmer. They were in the wrong place all game.
@@Monochromatic_Spider It's still a setup we've used prior(the diamond). I also honestly don't think a box would have changed the game (just as everyone is in full right to think it would have). So it's trivial in that regards. The way fanbase have reacted it's as if we'd have won the league solely on base of his adjustments. Personally think it is just bad form(or perhaps normal? since we aren't meant to be champions this season). It's very early to make definitive calls, it's only half the season. We're 4th, that's what most expected at start. So I don't understand some of the overreaction. If we finish outside of UCL places by the end of season, then he should go.
@@hnaku8748 The box would have been a bigger improvement than you think. It would have put Cucu in the DM spot, where he's outstanding, instead of as a wide left guy where he's not. It would've put Enzo up high on the left and fairly close to Sancho, where he has a decent enough angle for passes and making late runs into space in the box. it would have put Cole Palmer out in that area where he can snap off a shot with his eyes closed instead of in the area where he has to work his backside off to get a good angle. And it would have meant having two players to close down the space in front of the back three. Two players that are both very good at that particular job. With the diamond, Cucu is still too high up to help Caicedo close down that space, Enzo isn't really a goal threat from the right, and Palmer goes missing. That's why I'm saying the diamond has got to go. It's just not a good change. 3-box-3 all the way.
We can’t recall him there’s no break clause he has to stay at the end of the season I’d be happy if we put James as right centre back less stress and we be stable at the back
bro its not even how dangerous the other team is, chelsea is the fourth most valuable club in the world and we gotta get out shit together if we wanna keep winning

Hi Younes, I understand ambition talks and standard talks, but we need to let the delulu off our heads and understand that next season we will not have a team ready to compete for the premier league still. We need a title winning RW,CF,LW,CB,DM & GK profiles. For the next 3 years we need to be in the UCL and that’s it! We cannot have this level of delusion despite having 1. Madueke as our most reliable RW 2. Pedro Neto not reliable all season long cos injuries have to be managed and isn’t consistent enough. 3. Jackson is our best striker 4. Sancho doesn’t take his man on and neither does he score goals 5. Calceido is our only reliable midfielder. 6. Colwill is not good enough 7. Fofana is injury prone and needs to be replaced 8. Reece james is the so called “captain” 9. Sanchez is the GK 10. Cucurella is our most reliable defender ?? Terrible 11. Enzo crashes the box now and cannot track back against the run of play ? 12. Palmer is asked to become Lionel Messi now ? 13. Jao Felix signed for the sake of it.
Nkunku getting paid for a new hairdo weekly? Lavia cannot stay fit for a full season ? Malo gusto is our best available RB all season long ? But with all these “LETS KEEP THE STANDARD” we are chelsea! We don’t wanna be Arsenal !! Bla Bla Bla Bla !!! The reality is we are not good enough and Clearlake and these dumb directors have made far more delulu signings than they have made rightful ones.
Maresca should stop overlapping Full-Backs to number 10’s. He stopped doing it with Gusto because he was useless in that position and we were winning matches. It’s only until the Brentford game that Maresca started this again by inverting Cucurella and because he scored, it gave the manager a false validation of this tactic, but those who watched this match would know that Brentford had some jaw-dropping chances and if we didn’t get the second goal, Chelsea would have drawn or lost.
@ And you’re delulu if you think we have the kind of Fullbacks that can invert as number 10’s. Empirical evidence shows otherwise. The only time it worked was when we were spamming crosses and Cucurella had a heading goal. Every single other game, we never won using this tactic. Plus Cole Palmer plays in the right pocket and in this position he can be on goal with his stronger left foot, but when the Manager inverts Gusto, Palmer is shifted to the left. Just watch the most recent game against Ipswich when Gusto came on. See Palmers position and how all his shots went.
@@akachied4166 And I don’t mind Maresca inverting Fullbacks an extra DM, just not number 10’s. It displaces Palmer’s favored position and they waste lots of chances, and it also leaves our defense wide open. The pros are way less than the cons.
We're condemned to win today or else the Season will just collapse before our eyes. Let Maresca start playing players in their positions. Younes I agree totally with everything you say in this review. You're spot-on and I wish your prediction will be also
We had a shaky end to the end of the first half of tge season...now we need to pick ourselves back up and have a stronger end to the second half of the season.
🤣relax Younes there's nothing flying, i'm an ophthalmologist it's OVB it's normal while we are aging. (if you are not sure just focus on a white wall move your eyes left and right you should be able to notice it)
All this inverting shouldn't always have to happen we shouldn't have to drop and lose a left back going into left side midfield as another DM It's crazy It drags the team on that side of the pitch into the middle leave space in behind on the left It's getting to be obvious now teams are switched on to it they know what we're going to do we need to start changing things up sort it out manager please CFC for life JK West London man we need three points please God bless inshallah God willing Chelsea to beat crystal palace
On my life I've missed watching you sir Finally graduated from Uni and awaiting my certificates so I kinda have all the time in the world to watch you now more regularly
You nailed it Habibi. I like your ideas and clarification on the First Eleven and substitutions. You have vast knowledge about our Team players than Enzo Meresca
Yes you said it and we should be brave enough to stick two strikers up front I've been saying it all season we should be able to change formation What the f*** CFC for life JK West London man
We are not a good footballer team. Our level is absolutely average and at the end of the season we will be around 10th place +-2. So we need to take off the pink glasses and realising that we are no longer top team. At this point I don't see the light in the tunnel. Feel awful but for me today is another loose. We cant play against defending teams. All the wins we have are against teams that played attacking.
Maresca doesn't know how to use the bench. He needs a tutorial from Fulhams Marco Silva in timing and utilizing subs resourcefully, furthermore, he does not have to make wholesome lineup changes to prove a point, such not-so-well-thought-out agendas will ruin the teams' momentum
It won't matter with the fans what he does if we don't get the 3 points. The reality is that. The subs last game weren't wrong, he also 'trusted' the squad like fans demanded. We still lost. Fans are still complaining. I don't think most fans have a clue how to solve the mini rot either. There's hardly any consensus apart from the Disasi hate.
There is no competition in every single position of the squad now. This starting 11 is the must-start players (Tosin and Colwil not good enough) and the subs are far more inferior, even not at PL level. If any 1 or 2 must-start players get injured (mostly likely to happen soon), we won't get the top 4.
Younes makes a lot of sense with that team selextion anald analysis. No unnecessary criticism. Not taken emotions of jyst chopping and changing of personnel.
This is how maresca usually thinks and makes decision,,remember against fulham he decided to stick neto at right back and gusto at wing,,,just for neto to match up the speed of Robinson 😮😢😅😂
With Neto starting I promise you, we will draw or loose, atleast Madueke offers attack into the opponent box. These three were playing better before Neto came. Palmer, Madueke and Jackson
If you're reminding me now I actually went mad crazy about not signing this fella because of the injury I said it do not buy Wesley he is going to break down again look what happened we all said it I was Chelsea fans that followed Chelsea on a daily basis we all said it CFC for life JK West London man come on you blues 💙
Crystal Palace coach is right about what he said about Chelsea.. Because Chelsea is no team to fear and the players have no hunger in them to play like their lives is depending on it... Palmer is playing as if he's the owner of Chelsea.
I cannot understand why Chelsea buys anyone with hamstring injury. Hamstring pull or strain can heal but tear most likely will not allow a player to return to high level as in the case of Reece James.
We have so many options with the forwards as 2nd half changes so we don't become predictable, we can have Nkunku and jackson/Giui in a double striker, plamer can shift about and accomodate Nkunku or Felix. Neto can switch sides, Sancho can switch sides and as a last resort madueke can go right and felix left I don't understand how we are getting found out by teams there is no excuse for it, we have an excuse for poor defending and thats that our defenders are just poor (cept Cucu), even then Caicedo can play in the inverted RFB and Lavia can come into midfield. Jackson needs to step up this game and get 2 goals, prove he can hit the target and prove he can score/assist more than 1 goal a match
This is where Jackson has to make up for some serious misses Cole Palmer and Enzo have to hit the top form Moses has to keep being Moses but the wingers really have to come into play in this game and make something count either assist or goals do not know who is going to play it centre back I hope Josh plays it right back if Reese doesn't play and MC left back Levi sent her back and it's going to have to be Tosian along with him I'd like to see Mike penders in goal or jurgenson Sanchez is no good we need a new goalie fast and a defender fast and a backup number 9 if we're not going to play the Spanish 18-year-old I would be playing him give him a crack CFC for life JK West London man 1 point out of nine disgraceful must win game not a draw not a loss a must win game will they be up for it let's wait and see Trevor c can't play against us as he's our player still Thank God for that as he's got three goals already and he's playing well and we're gonna let him go crazy crazy we need to pick up our form again and go on another 10 game winning streak CFC for life JK West London man
Lavia : always injured ( bad investment ) Fofana : always injured ( bad investment ) Nkunku : looks like a bad investment Disasi : bad investment Felix : unnecessary investment Badiaschille : bad investment James : always injured Mudryk : bad investment KDH : unnecessary investment Chukwumeka : unnecessary Uguchukwu : unnecessary 1bn squad with half of them just a waste
You can’t invert cucurella and then have gusto bombing on lmao, he would need to tuck into the back three which he’s not built for. Which is why I’d just start Josh at this point. Arsenal are starting two 17 year olds. If he’s good enough give him a chance.
Oh no he's just front down the gauntlet but he sort of right I've been telling or saying this for ages why can't we switch up our play change the formation change the players it shouldn't be like for like all the time one way one system I said he must have a plan A B c D and f****** E sorry for swearing but he's sort of right CFC for life JK West London man please don't have a second half season that you had with Leicester City at Chelsea or were in trouble . CFC for life JK West London man if this doesn't fire up our dressing room in our players then nothing will we must demolish them for this disrespect
If what Glasner said comes true and Chelsea lose tomorrow I bet you all the other teams will catch on what Glasner said and then Chelsea will be well and truly found out this season and Chelsea will not get Top 4 but if the opposite happened and Chelsea win then Chelsea will get some breathing space and focus on getting more points to secure Top 4.
Don't say it please don't say it only a team that gets into the top four every year or just about Chelsea ain't going to be that team next season We've got players coming that are the best young talent on the planet anyone out there under 21 on the 20 even that we have coming worldy players E Williams Kendry P it's on we just need to add a number nine and a goalkeeper and a centre back now and we're done We've got a few already at the club that are out on loan Maybe we should have a rethink?
Why can’t we josh younes? Seriously why. How do you know if they are ready or not. Arsenal have two 17 year olds currently starting league matches for them and they are excelling, he deserves a chance
I think the only reason Maresca has been less flexible recently is because there hasn't been enough time in between games to practise/work on tweaks. So he reverts to some basic standard- I think this solves itself this month.
I'm worried teams are starting to work us out. If that's the case. And the first half doesn't look like we're getting anywhere. Why not play Caicado RB and then invert. Like he did against Villa. Only problem with that suppose is that Lavia isn't there to play DM. But James is available last 30 mins i reckon. So could he invert?? 🤔 Be interesting to see if he can. Because if he can I believe he would be great at it.
@younes talks football what if we play Caicedo and lavia in midfield and shift Palmer wide. I feel like lavia has to start without making caicedo play right back. Am mad that we are now forth we were doing so well before Christmas. This also means playing Enzo caicedo n lavia together. We are going to destroy teams. Best believe

Honestly, I'm tired of hearing that the young talent we have is not ready for the first team. Every young talent that leaves chelsea is playing first team football, but we won't play them while they are at the club. I'm tired of hearing fans saying that ( he needs a loan spell ). That's why I don't get vex or feel anyway about them leaving the club
I know it isn't realistic ,but the best thing for us AND him is to send him on a season long loan to strasbourg (once he comes back ) that will give him confidence in himself and in his body and then he can come back . IF he gets injured even there.... just terminate the contract
Enzo Fenandez should be warned to stay away from free kicks and corners allow Palmer to do it, bc his shoots are too soft easy for any Keeper or defender to stop. No point for him rushing for ever free kicks it's needless at Club's detriment to poor results. Sign replacement his injuries can't continue to keep the Club waiting, it's tranfer window now. This constant mooning won't qualify Chelsea!.
We must sell Fofana Rees James and any other player like them injury prone. They don’t play for this club most of the time they are in treatment, We have to change that ideology of keeping injury prones in the club . Give them some kind of work inside the club but not in the first team.💙COYB
Not even joking over here ,i would get Van dijk in the summer for a free. Yes his wages could be high ,but he is the exact player we need : Top CB Leader Experienced Role model . And we could sell him for 30-40 mil to Saudi or Inter miami in a couple of years .
That is exactly how maresca makes decision,,remember against fulham he decided to stick neto at right back and gusto at wing,,,just for neto to match up the speed of Robinson 😮😢😅😂
Let's be serious...we will be 2-0 killed . We don't have a defense good enough for top 4 and we don't have a pure striker. Hopefully we will win tomorrow and I'm praying for that but i don't believe it will happen
Our players are average we bought alot of mid-table level players from weak leagues, and we expect miracles, tomorrow im not putting my hopes up, im not spoiling my saturday🤷
Hope our players have serious drilled in training and that does mean everyone If you think on Enzo some players he doesn't choose then did he choose dewsbury? We been screaming for substitute early and she should give Guiu Josh Felix 30 min if nothing changed Also the club should think on buy back Tamoria and getting Trevoh back bite your lip sport directors apologise and get them Fofana Tousin Badishillie Axe haven't worked and most are season long Injury in the summer we buy back M Guieh Because this whole saga was created by the club owners sporting directors And they didn't let Silva live either now understand why the defence is rubbish. Too many Kids not enough grown up.
Spots on is out for the season he's writ off in my book he's gone We've lost that money he won't come back this time too many times he's broken down If it happens to Reece James he's in the same category Sorry to say it CFC for life JK West London man luckily we've got Josh and Aaron if gusto is not up for the job
I think we will draw or lose against Crystal Palace tomorrow why do I have this bad feeling. Maresca should give Acheampong a chance and I don´t want to see Disasi in the lineup. Younes, I think it is either the board or coach who doesn´t want Chalobah if you ask me but maybe I might be wrong.
5:11 Y'all took Oliver Glasner out of context , because if you watch the interview, he was trying to say it the way Chelsea, hence they not trying to suprise them.
I did keep saying this football is a funny old game anyone can be anyone in this league if you don't turn up on the day you might be better on paper have better players but if you don't want to fight and fight for the right to play forget about the three points we better come out all guns blazing Jackson I'm talking to you mate sort it out or be replaced by the Spaniard and he's only 18. CFC for life JK West London man hopefully taking Trevor c out of their defence we should be able to topple them JK West London man Chelsea tell I die PS why are we waiting until we fall out of the top four to buy anybody we better get moving in a transfer market and not just moving players on but we need reinforcements quick we can bring back loanies or buy and you can buy in central defence in January it's just very hard to get a number nine in January but there's a few right-sided centre backs that are around we've just brought one in I would play him straight away into the first team yep you lot of sound crazy nope I'd framing he's played most of the season for Boca juniors they were just on their winter break now we brought him over definitely have him on the bench and get ready to induct him into his first debut for Chelsea would be great I think this boy could go far CFC for life JK West London man least is a defender that can score goals
If we don't buy the 19-year-old Bournemouth boy we should just recall Trevor c I've been saying it all season It's crazy The boys what 25 now maybe a little bit older he's smashing it he's doing well at palace and he'd fit perfectly in with Levi as a partner better than no disrespect to the player that we got for free Tosian however you spell his name no Trevor is decent buying Aaron will be Levi's long-term partner at centre back makes sense Josh right back MC left back now that would surprise palace neto 1-wing Cole Palmer on the other Felix in the middle Jackson up front or the Spanish 18-year-old up front Marc G Sorry about the name spelling it's the mic too lazy to type lol CFC for life JK West London man we need to recall the Southampton boy Lesley believed Santos at Strasbourg but I don't know where he fits in next season with what's coming on top It's going to be packed in the middle crazy packed 7 players 2 slots It doesn't go The players will be sold or loaned out JK West London Man CFC for life

Colwill is just English & Cobham hype he isn’t even as good as Tomori,Fofana,Tosin.

Let us be honest! Crystal palace is more dangerous than Ipswich ! It’s sad we no longer have squad depth
No they are not brother. Chelsea only problem is with team that have strong midfield and defense

Hi Younes, I understand ambition talks and standard talks, but we need to let the delulu off our heads and understand that next season we will not have a team ready to compete for the premier league still. We need a title winning RW,CF,LW,CB,DM & GK profiles. For the next 3 years we need to be in the UCL and that’s it!
We cannot have this level of delusion despite having
1. Madueke as our most reliable RW
2. Pedro Neto not reliable all season long cos injuries have to be managed and isn’t consistent enough.
3. Jackson is our best striker
4. Sancho doesn’t take his man on and neither does he score goals
5. Calceido is our only reliable midfielder.
6. Colwill is not good enough
7. Fofana is injury prone and needs to be replaced
8. Reece james is the so called “captain”
9. Sanchez is the GK
10. Cucurella is our most reliable defender ?? Terrible
11. Enzo crashes the box now and cannot track back against the run of play ?
12. Palmer is asked to become Lionel Messi now ?
13. Jao Felix signed for the sake of it.
Nkunku getting paid for a new hairdo weekly?
Lavia cannot stay fit for a full season ?
Malo gusto is our best available RB all season long ?
But with all these “LETS KEEP THE STANDARD” we are chelsea! We don’t wanna be Arsenal !!
Bla Bla Bla Bla !!!
The reality is we are not good enough and Clearlake and these dumb directors have made far more delulu signings than they have made rightful ones.
Maresca should stop overlapping Full-Backs to number 10’s. He stopped doing it with Gusto because he was useless in that position and we were winning matches. It’s only until the Brentford game that Maresca started this again by inverting Cucurella and because he scored, it gave the manager a false validation of this tactic, but those who watched this match would know that Brentford had some jaw-dropping chances and if we didn’t get the second goal, Chelsea would have drawn or lost.
Lol, You are deluded thinking simple tactics =win.
Inverting FB enables complex tactics for central progression
@ And you’re delulu if you think we have the kind of Fullbacks that can invert as number 10’s. Empirical evidence shows otherwise. The only time it worked was when we were spamming crosses and Cucurella had a heading goal. Every single other game, we never won using this tactic. Plus Cole Palmer plays in the right pocket and in this position he can be on goal with his stronger left foot, but when the Manager inverts Gusto, Palmer is shifted to the left. Just watch the most recent game against Ipswich when Gusto came on. See Palmers position and how all his shots went.
@@akachied4166 And I don’t mind Maresca inverting Fullbacks an extra DM, just not number 10’s. It displaces Palmer’s favored position and they waste lots of chances, and it also leaves our defense wide open. The pros are way less than the cons.
@@shiloh2001 Maresca's game is all about central combinations. Gusto & Cucurella have the intelligence & athleticism for the role
@@shiloh2001 Well the system creates so many chances, why do you think we're no1 in goals?
We're condemned to win today or else the Season will just collapse before our eyes. Let Maresca start playing players in their positions.
Younes I agree totally with everything you say in this review. You're spot-on and I wish your prediction will be also
James and Fofana are at the same point in terms of injuries and Lavia is close to them.
Get rid of Badiashile, Fofana and Reece
If these players are having injuries playing 1 match per week, what of when they start playing multiple matches per week?
We had a shaky end to the end of the first half of tge season...now we need to pick ourselves back up and have a stronger end to the second half of the season.
🤣relax Younes there's nothing flying, i'm an ophthalmologist it's OVB it's normal while we are aging. (if you are not sure just focus on a white wall move your eyes left and right you should be able to notice it)
Fofana actually had his medical in New York, for the very reason the club was worried about his injury history. I’d be looking for my money back.
All this inverting shouldn't always have to happen we shouldn't have to drop and lose a left back going into left side midfield as another DM It's crazy It drags the team on that side of the pitch into the middle leave space in behind on the left It's getting to be obvious now teams are switched on to it they know what we're going to do we need to start changing things up sort it out manager please CFC for life JK West London man we need three points please God bless inshallah God willing Chelsea to beat crystal palace
On my life I've missed watching you sir
Finally graduated from Uni and awaiting my certificates so I kinda have all the time in the world to watch you now more regularly
@PaulAllen77 Thanks man
Reece starts for me. Take the risk he's gonna get injured again regardless so take the risk Enzo!
You nailed it Habibi.
I like your ideas and clarification on the First Eleven and substitutions.
You have vast knowledge about our Team players than Enzo Meresca
Yes you said it and we should be brave enough to stick two strikers up front I've been saying it all season we should be able to change formation What the f*** CFC for life JK West London man
9:32 Chalobah has a no break clause
We are not a good footballer team. Our level is absolutely average and at the end of the season we will be around 10th place +-2. So we need to take off the pink glasses and realising that we are no longer top team. At this point I don't see the light in the tunnel. Feel awful but for me today is another loose. We cant play against defending teams. All the wins we have are against teams that played attacking.
Anybody can explain how are we in situation with 42 player squad but no squad depth … 1,5 are spent already…
Maresca doesn't know how to use the bench. He needs a tutorial from Fulhams Marco Silva in timing and utilizing subs resourcefully, furthermore, he does not have to make wholesome lineup changes to prove a point, such not-so-well-thought-out agendas will ruin the teams' momentum
Harry Wilson's introduction is always timely.
It won't matter with the fans what he does if we don't get the 3 points. The reality is that. The subs last game weren't wrong, he also 'trusted' the squad like fans demanded. We still lost. Fans are still complaining. I don't think most fans have a clue how to solve the mini rot either. There's hardly any consensus apart from the Disasi hate.
There is no competition in every single position of the squad now. This starting 11 is the must-start players (Tosin and Colwil not good enough) and the subs are far more inferior, even not at PL level.
If any 1 or 2 must-start players get injured (mostly likely to happen soon), we won't get the top 4.
Younes makes a lot of sense with that team selextion anald analysis. No unnecessary criticism. Not taken emotions of jyst chopping and changing of personnel.
Was that a PS2 (power on) sound I heard in 0:20 seconds ? 😆
I’m your number 1 fan. 🇳🇬🇳🇬
This is how maresca usually thinks and makes decision,,remember against fulham he decided to stick neto at right back and gusto at wing,,,just for neto to match up the speed of Robinson 😮😢😅😂
Rubbish tactics
With Neto starting I promise you, we will draw or loose, atleast Madueke offers attack into the opponent box.
These three were playing better before Neto came.
Palmer, Madueke and Jackson
If you're reminding me now I actually went mad crazy about not signing this fella because of the injury I said it do not buy Wesley he is going to break down again look what happened we all said it I was Chelsea fans that followed Chelsea on a daily basis we all said it CFC for life JK West London man come on you blues 💙
Crystal Palace coach is right about what he said about Chelsea.. Because Chelsea is no team to fear and the players have no hunger in them to play like their lives is depending on it... Palmer is playing as if he's the owner of Chelsea.
I cannot understand why Chelsea buys anyone with hamstring injury. Hamstring pull or strain can heal but tear most likely will not allow a player to return to high level as in the case of Reece James.
I agree with you younes fofana is done should never have bought him cut our loses now
The key words in Oliver Glasners message is “I don’t think they want to surprise us” = Clearlake plan
A must win but will we,don't know now after last 3 games
we all know that this match can never be won with the way chelsea played their last few games
The crazy part is what Younnes is saying, we all see it. However it always seems like the manager always don't see it 😮
Talk is cheap, innit?
@@ernestorhena2975 tf you mean??
@@kobehans7376 i mean talk is cheap or you just need reading classes! Bye
We have so many options with the forwards as 2nd half changes so we don't become predictable, we can have Nkunku and jackson/Giui in a double striker, plamer can shift about and accomodate Nkunku or Felix. Neto can switch sides, Sancho can switch sides and as a last resort madueke can go right and felix left I don't understand how we are getting found out by teams there is no excuse for it, we have an excuse for poor defending and thats that our defenders are just poor (cept Cucu), even then Caicedo can play in the inverted RFB and Lavia can come into midfield. Jackson needs to step up this game and get 2 goals, prove he can hit the target and prove he can score/assist more than 1 goal a match
This is where Jackson has to make up for some serious misses Cole Palmer and Enzo have to hit the top form Moses has to keep being Moses but the wingers really have to come into play in this game and make something count either assist or goals do not know who is going to play it centre back I hope Josh plays it right back if Reese doesn't play and MC left back Levi sent her back and it's going to have to be Tosian along with him I'd like to see Mike penders in goal or jurgenson Sanchez is no good we need a new goalie fast and a defender fast and a backup number 9 if we're not going to play the Spanish 18-year-old I would be playing him give him a crack CFC for life JK West London man 1 point out of nine disgraceful must win game not a draw not a loss a must win game will they be up for it let's wait and see Trevor c can't play against us as he's our player still Thank God for that as he's got three goals already and he's playing well and we're gonna let him go crazy crazy we need to pick up our form again and go on another 10 game winning streak CFC for life JK West London man
Palace gonna have a field day. Free 3 points to them.
Im surprised the coach dropped points didn’t fix defense and reshuffle midfield. Like 451 or 442 formation. Dropped 8 points in last 3 games.
Youre so right, i used to banter my arsenal fren every year calling them "Lazarus", always heed that call to come "forth"😅😅
Lavia : always injured ( bad investment )
Fofana : always injured ( bad investment )
Nkunku : looks like a bad investment
Disasi : bad investment
Felix : unnecessary investment
Badiaschille : bad investment
James : always injured
Mudryk : bad investment
KDH : unnecessary investment
Chukwumeka : unnecessary
Uguchukwu : unnecessary
1bn squad with half of them just a waste
trevoh season-long loan spell does not have a break clause
If our forwards don't score Saturday go mad and put Chilwell up front it's been done before with other teams in the past years
You can’t invert cucurella and then have gusto bombing on lmao, he would need to tuck into the back three which he’s not built for. Which is why I’d just start Josh at this point. Arsenal are starting two 17 year olds. If he’s good enough give him a chance.
Oh no he's just front down the gauntlet but he sort of right I've been telling or saying this for ages why can't we switch up our play change the formation change the players it shouldn't be like for like all the time one way one system I said he must have a plan A B c D and f****** E sorry for swearing but he's sort of right CFC for life JK West London man please don't have a second half season that you had with Leicester City at Chelsea or were in trouble . CFC for life JK West London man if this doesn't fire up our dressing room in our players then nothing will we must demolish them for this disrespect
If what Glasner said comes true and Chelsea lose tomorrow I bet you all the other teams will catch on what Glasner said and then Chelsea will be well and truly found out this season and Chelsea will not get Top 4 but if the opposite happened and Chelsea win then Chelsea will get some breathing space and focus on getting more points to secure Top 4.
It's a disheartening how we ended up feather-weight defenders who cannot guarantee 25 games a season without being injured.
Let's be honest here we know this Chelsea team the first game we're winning from now is morecambe in the cup
Called it
Don't say it please don't say it only a team that gets into the top four every year or just about Chelsea ain't going to be that team next season We've got players coming that are the best young talent on the planet anyone out there under 21 on the 20 even that we have coming worldy players E Williams Kendry P it's on we just need to add a number nine and a goalkeeper and a centre back now and we're done We've got a few already at the club that are out on loan Maybe we should have a rethink?
Gusto inverting is pathetic, never do that again
Why can’t we josh younes? Seriously why. How do you know if they are ready or not. Arsenal have two 17 year olds currently starting league matches for them and they are excelling, he deserves a chance
I think the only reason Maresca has been less flexible recently is because there hasn't been enough time in between games to practise/work on tweaks. So he reverts to some basic standard- I think this solves itself this month.
I'm worried teams are starting to work us out. If that's the case. And the first half doesn't look like we're getting anywhere. Why not play Caicado RB and then invert. Like he did against Villa. Only problem with that suppose is that Lavia isn't there to play DM. But James is available last 30 mins i reckon. So could he invert?? 🤔 Be interesting to see if he can. Because if he can I believe he would be great at it.
@younes talks football what if we play Caicedo and lavia in midfield and shift Palmer wide. I feel like lavia has to start without making caicedo play right back. Am mad that we are now forth we were doing so well before Christmas. This also means playing Enzo caicedo n lavia together. We are going to destroy teams. Best believe
Fofana played strapped up and Maresca said he'll always play in pain. That was before he got injured again.
Hard game to call
Tosin and Colwill is some Championship CB pairing 😂
Have you got any batter options
@ChineduOkafor-pk5gx TEMPURA BATTER
▢ ¾ cup cake and pastry flour*
▢ 1 tbsp baking powder
▢ ¼ tsp salt
▢ ¾ cup corn starch (divided) ¼ cup in batter ½ cup -for coating (first step)
▢ 1 large egg
▢ 1 cup carbonated water (beer or water) chilled (add ice cubes to the cup)
Literally, both are former Fulham and Huddersfield defenders respectively
Colwill has been poor really lately and i dont know why we dont want to have that conversation
Colwill has been overhyped since forever
Chelsea and the Bengals games results will determine my mood for the week
Honestly, I'm tired of hearing that the young talent we have is not ready for the first team. Every young talent that leaves chelsea is playing first team football, but we won't play them while they are at the club. I'm tired of hearing fans saying that ( he needs a loan spell ). That's why I don't get vex or feel anyway about them leaving the club
I know it isn't realistic ,but the best thing for us AND him is to send him on a season long loan to strasbourg (once he comes back ) that will give him confidence in himself and in his body and then he can come back .
IF he gets injured even there.... just terminate the contract
Any team with fast direct attacking players on the break, will cause us serious problems, unless we can score 3 tomorrow we are
not going to win.
We MUST win tommorow even with RED CARD, this Glasner with such guts. Cant have it !!
Enzo Fenandez should be warned to stay away from free kicks and corners allow Palmer to do it, bc his shoots are too soft easy for any Keeper or defender to stop. No point for him rushing for ever free kicks it's needless at Club's detriment to poor results. Sign replacement his injuries can't continue to keep the Club waiting, it's tranfer window now. This constant mooning won't qualify Chelsea!.
We must sell Fofana Rees James and any other player like them injury prone. They don’t play for this club most of the time they are in treatment, We have to change that ideology of keeping injury prones in the club . Give them some kind of work inside the club but not in the first team.💙COYB
think we should switch RJ to CB
Not even joking over here ,i would get Van dijk in the summer for a free.
Yes his wages could be high ,but he is the exact player we need :
Top CB
Leader
Experienced
Role model .
And we could sell him for 30-40 mil to Saudi or Inter miami in a couple of years .
Vvd ain't coming to Cfc 😂 he rather go to United or Seria A
Folks, Maresca has been absolutely found out, the EPL is brutal.
I think Disasi is starting, considering that Palace could give us problems on set pieces with their 3 CBs 😂
Nope disasi is as good as gone imo 😂😂he might not be in the squad aselnimo taking disasi spot
That is exactly how maresca makes decision,,remember against fulham he decided to stick neto at right back and gusto at wing,,,just for neto to match up the speed of Robinson 😮😢😅😂
Let's be serious...we will be 2-0 killed . We don't have a defense good enough for top 4 and we don't have a pure striker.
Hopefully we will win tomorrow and I'm praying for that but i don't believe it will happen
This defence is not good enough for top 4 and Maresca is not elite coach.. By Feb you will be looking for a replacement. Hope im wrong.
Don't be afraid to sub palmer if he is having another stinker!!!
We cannot recall Chalobah, there is no break clause in the loan deal.
Our players are average we bought alot of mid-table level players from weak leagues, and we expect miracles, tomorrow im not putting my hopes up, im not spoiling my saturday🤷
The Coach needs to instill the never die mindset where by you think it's not over till last whistle....this will change slot of problems
Downward spiral 🌀 ahead if Chelsea don’t score twice in the 1st 20 mins
Hope our players have serious drilled in training and that does mean everyone
If you think on Enzo some players he doesn't choose then did he choose dewsbury? We been screaming for substitute early and she should give Guiu Josh Felix 30 min if nothing changed
Also the club should think on buy back Tamoria and getting Trevoh back bite your lip sport directors apologise and get them Fofana Tousin Badishillie Axe haven't worked and most are season long Injury in the summer we buy back M Guieh
Because this whole saga was created by the club owners sporting directors
And they didn't let Silva live either now understand why the defence is rubbish.
Too many Kids not enough grown up.
Spots on is out for the season he's writ off in my book he's gone We've lost that money he won't come back this time too many times he's broken down If it happens to Reece James he's in the same category Sorry to say it CFC for life JK West London man luckily we've got Josh and Aaron if gusto is not up for the job
I think we will draw or lose against Crystal Palace tomorrow why do I have this bad feeling. Maresca should give Acheampong a chance and I don´t want to see Disasi in the lineup. Younes, I think it is either the board or coach who doesn´t want Chalobah if you ask me but maybe I might be wrong.
5:11 Y'all took Oliver Glasner out of context , because if you watch the interview, he was trying to say it the way Chelsea, hence they not trying to suprise them.
I wished maresca used marc guiu and acheampong pls god a beg bring on the bench
Disasi to marshall the Chelsea defence like Maldini, pocket the Palace attack and score a last minute winner like Sergio Ramos!
What drugs are you on ? 😂
@@Maniyanthrait’s a joke bro
@@Chelseaforever-v5g Nope I was being serious :)
I did keep saying this football is a funny old game anyone can be anyone in this league if you don't turn up on the day you might be better on paper have better players but if you don't want to fight and fight for the right to play forget about the three points we better come out all guns blazing Jackson I'm talking to you mate sort it out or be replaced by the Spaniard and he's only 18. CFC for life JK West London man hopefully taking Trevor c out of their defence we should be able to topple them JK West London man Chelsea tell I die PS why are we waiting until we fall out of the top four to buy anybody we better get moving in a transfer market and not just moving players on but we need reinforcements quick we can bring back loanies or buy and you can buy in central defence in January it's just very hard to get a number nine in January but there's a few right-sided centre backs that are around we've just brought one in I would play him straight away into the first team yep you lot of sound crazy nope I'd framing he's played most of the season for Boca juniors they were just on their winter break now we brought him over definitely have him on the bench and get ready to induct him into his first debut for Chelsea would be great I think this boy could go far CFC for life JK West London man least is a defender that can score goals
Chalobah is not coming back he was treated with some much disrespect. Plus he wouldn't make a big difference to our defence if I'm being honest.
younness we cant recall chalobah because there is no break clause in his contract
If we don't buy the 19-year-old Bournemouth boy we should just recall Trevor c I've been saying it all season It's crazy The boys what 25 now maybe a little bit older he's smashing it he's doing well at palace and he'd fit perfectly in with Levi as a partner better than no disrespect to the player that we got for free Tosian however you spell his name no Trevor is decent buying Aaron will be Levi's long-term partner at centre back makes sense Josh right back MC left back now that would surprise palace neto 1-wing Cole Palmer on the other Felix in the middle Jackson up front or the Spanish 18-year-old up front Marc G Sorry about the name spelling it's the mic too lazy to type lol CFC for life JK West London man we need to recall the Southampton boy Lesley believed Santos at Strasbourg but I don't know where he fits in next season with what's coming on top It's going to be packed in the middle crazy packed 7 players 2 slots It doesn't go The players will be sold or loaned out JK West London Man CFC for life
James,Lavia and Fofana...3 absolute ballers,but what's the point having them ffs?😢🤬
love to see Sancho and Neto cut in and SHOOT more when possible, both can strike the ball better than Jackson.
Younes there is a no break clause in Trevoh’s contract so he can’t be recalled
We need to go get Diomande as a permanent replacement for Fofana ASAP
That’s what a club should do if they want to win titles and trophies
We can't recall trev. There's no clause to do that.
We definitely need this 3 points
