Great video! I think Thomas Frank's plan was a fantastic one. I fear other teams (maybe Everton?) might adopt a similar plan of packing the midfield and make us cross to primarily create chances. We obviously haven't got any players with a real box presence and I think Nkunku is probably our best at that. The game could've looked very different if Cucu's goal didn't go in IMO. Hopefully we see more progression on this as the season progresses!
Thankyou mate! For sure we will face plenty of low blocks, important we sustain pressure as well as we did yesterday, high volume of shots/crosses and find those breakthroughs! But yes, a box threat striker option is still needed to further maximise this 👍
The great thing is that brentford did the exact same thing last season and won 2-0 and we had zero response, Poch had no idea how to combat this and we were continually beaten by teams who simply sat back and beat us on the counter - so glad Maresca has found a way through
You are amazing, your analyses are excellent, you are always precise and surgical in every detail, Enzo Maresca's Chelsea is just beginning, it is simply incredible
Love your videos, Connor. Only suggestion is use the same microphone throughout the video. The one you use over the game footage images sounds really nice.
Thanks mate! It’s the same mic, just sounds worse through StreamYard with the tactics board, getting a new mic to use for all videos ready for the new year though 🤝
@@HoldenConnor00 Exciting watching you grow. You're a welcome change in a sea of ragebait content. Here's to your continued success in 2025. Up the fuckin chels
I feed off of the confidence of the players. Its clear Maresa has complete buy-in from the squad and I havent seen this togetherness and desire from the players to work for each other since early Tuchel. Brentford was a big potential banana skin, and as imperfect as it was, its a massive win. I have high hopes we can accrue maximum points across the winter. I still reckon we're due a slump at some point, but the longer we can delay it, the better. Do you expect any ingoings or outgoings for January? Would love a video on it. Keep it up, mate!
Brilliant analysis as always Connor. I think Chelsea have a great chance of winning the league. Marescas tactical acumen and it's ability to deliver continued, rapid individual and collective growth is the positive impetus that you have to weigh up against our lack of experience. I am convinced that we will continue to improve. That being said, it will be interesting to see how we fare with several defenders injured as we use the depth of our squad. Everton concern me as they will play in a very obdurate low block. Lastly, I don't endorse the superstition about the Xmas jumper. You are a tactician which is where games are usually won or lost. but I do wish you a very merry Xmas and thank you for the Brilliant content
1)How did u see Enzo today and Plus do you think Enzo/Caicedo works in this setup 2)Do u think Enzo waited too long on subs as we were getting tired 3)Could have we found way to have better crosser ie Palmer and Enzo instead of Colwill
Hey Connor, any chance you'd be interested in doing a generic tactical analysis of the Chelsea women's side? They have a new manager this season and are currently unbeaten in all competitions. I appreciate it won't get the view numbers for the channel but as a Chelsea fan who supports both the men and womens teams, I'd absolutely love to see your analysis.
Hi mate, very busy with other work covering LOTS of teams and doing my own content, will see what I can do in the new year though, possibly trial a video and see how it does! 👊
Thankyou mate! Yeah Cucurella is a huge miss for sure, but as you say, can also have a positive edge in such a physical game, will touch on all of this in my preview at the end of this week!

Great analysis as always nice to now know why we were crossing so much
Thanks mate! Appreciate the support 👊

Lines were always too far apart in the counter press, we didn’t sustain pressure well enough under Poch, everything was 100mph

Thankyou mate! Really appreciate the support and kind words, means a lot 🙏

The belief and togetherness is amazing 👍
And yes! 100% transfer content will come thick and fast in January 🤝

The images are really helpful
🤝
Explaining with images is soo much better
🤝
Our counterpressing was immense prime city vibes
So so good, gone up a level this year 👍
If Badiashile and James were fit and playing as those wide centre-backs, it could have been 5 or 6 goals
James would’ve been perfect for this gameplan yes 👍
Would be down to see a collab with Mono CFC - if u have time?
@TT_2clean I’m not familiar with the channel, but will see what I can do 👊

Love ur videos mate , cucu will be a huge miss against Everton although viega might help with his aerial ability if he starts against Everton

I think you need to live in that Christmas jumper all year long now
You have to wear that jumper till the end of the season 😆
Mate I’ll wear it until it fails, don’t care if it’s May 😂
Lost me at the lucky jumper. You have nothing to do with us winning bro. Sorry
Damn you’re right, I clearly thought I was the one and only good luck omen!
You must be a blast at parties
that shirt is keeping us in the 3 points race
Let’s hope it keeps working!
