- With a return leg at Stamford Bridge to come, Chelsea trail Middlesbrough 1-0, setting up a potentially enormous cup shock. But despite missing a selection of big chances, Chelsea's biggest problem was, once again, how difficult they found it to play through an allegedly 'weaker' opponent.

Even enzo can receive deep . He can be the deepest receiver because he’s quite press resistant, and he usually already has the pass pre planned along with the skill to execute it; we saw him do it a lot last season. The problem is, the center backs just don’t pass to either of them, and sometimes they are both too far away from the center backs… but that is all doen to the coach … poch just doesn’t know what he’s doing with them
There's always acres of space between the CB's and the midfield. Poch has no idea how to coach a build up
This same pattern has been the Chelsea way for a long time now, since Tuchel and his possession-based style. It needs to change.
@@FridgeFridgeman Yes
He wants to bypass the midfield for some weird reason.
Deluded fans think Chelsea can be a cohesive team after a total rebuild. It's a few windows and building chemistry new identity and direction especially after the numbers of young inexperienced players. Clearly the owner and board are planning for the future. Right now we need 2 to 3 experienced players to challenge now while still developing younger talent. ST is one Winger is second as Sterling had been inconsistent as an experienced player. Third injuries are an issue the playing of Colwill at LB is insane majority of goals conceded are from crosses Gusto has done well but there's a clear problem. Lastly GK Petrovich has done well but its insane that the first choice GK Sanchez performed so poorly. If you invest in youth or younger players you got to allow time. Under Roman we complained why we ain't giving youth an opportunity now we complain about results unfortunately we have to find tge right balance between experience and inexperience if we want inexperience we gave you give them time Balance between these 2 is crucial. Remember youth doesn't necessarily mean inexperience as a 21 year old could have 3 years experience whereas another 21 year old could have no experience.
It's up to the manager to instill these patterns of play into the team. There's a lot of talk about inexperience but if a manager gives players instructions, they will play well. Poch is just not doing that.
He can't do that,he is incapable
does he even know them, theres dozens of them? how longs he been there
Great analysis on the low-block, but at the same time so basic you’d think for Poch and the Chelsea to grasp.. I sometimes wonder what they do in practice as this has been a problem for them all season
The main issue is very clear when replaying the games and re-watching build-up sequences.
These players don't know each other. Too often the ball is sent to the wrong foot and the moment is lost. You need to be incisive to break down a good low block, and Chelsea midfielders and forwards can't string two forward passes together.
It sucks, but what this squad needs more than anything is time on the field together.
Apparently Poch doesn't train these players on what to do in the final third
You guys are giving Tifo a run for their money 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Even better than Tifo imo
This guy is fantastic at what he does. Very likeable too
@@runwithme9643I agree, I watch Tifo for their historical/explanation videos on non tactical areas of football but when it comes to game analysis this is where it's at
the whole segment around Caicedo 09:00 onwards NOT receiving the ball is key... and because of Poch's inability to see these basic things, the boy's confidence is shot. He's not the only one btw
I hope Poch watches this video before the 2nd leg 😭😭😭
as a boro fan I hope he doesn't 🤣
He’d still watch the video and be clueless. He’s that terrible a manager. Chelsea will only get worse under him
@@a1moro293🤣🤣🤣 literally
If only Adam was the manager 😢
@@joshutb if we have latte back out whole attack changes, poch will shit himself
Excellent description of what occurred, I am a Boro fan, and cannot believe how Chelsea just didnt have a plan to beat us. Parking the bus, is ugly, more so if your opposition is winning. But you need to play neat triangles, and move players around.
One thing they could have done is push one of the two central midfielders behind the strikers putting more players inside the oppositions block. Its almost like they are instructed to stay within certain boundaries.
I still think the second leg is tricky for us, as 90 mins parking the bus could be a hard evening to both play, and watch.
Coming from Chelsea fan, gotta give credit to Boro. The intensity of press was really good, defensive form solid and hard to break. Runs and passes we're also well timed when attacking. This was done with huge injury list and two forced injury subs early in the game.
Better TEAM won. No argument can be made against that.
@@konzza Be interesting to see how the reverse fixture will go. On home turf, surely Chelsea will set up slightly differently.
Fingers crossed we can make it. Just to shake up the usual suspects at cup finals.
@@DS-cf1zc 20 years since your last league cup, the script has underdog written all over it
@@DS-cf1zc Not sure if the formation itself will be much changed, as Poch is quite fixated to his formations. The personnel might be much different as he just loves to play players out of position.
Both teams have quite a few short term injuries, so the lineups for both teams will likely be somewhat different.
Judging Boehly and his cronies by their previous actions, i wouldn't be too surprised to see a starting XI with 5 new players and different manager 😬🫣
@@konzzaI dont think we should ever play Palmer as a striker again
Props for showing Boro some respct unlike most others covering the game.
We love a back 4 of 4 centre backs, and letting Maatsen go on loan when our other left backs are injured or just recovered from injury 🤦
Been screaming to play matsen all 6 games I've been this season and last week, Had a Chelsea fan tell me colwill was the best left back in the league last season. He only played cb for Brighton. The state of our fan base is appauling
@@JorgeF69 Colwill at left back looks like a fish out of water, Poch is honestly ruining his confidence playing him there when Maatsen was right flipping there! An actual left back who knows the position not a left footed centre back whose never played there before
@@michaelglynn7010hoping he plays again at LB, once he was booked, he was unable to go in as he would and he is defo a CB. Overall we (boro) did well and poch will need some big changes for 2nd leg. Chelsea still favs to go through, but we have nothing to fear if the same Chelsea turns up. If was a final, Chelsea would have scored many based on finals in the past.
Not to mention how he is crushing poor Broja's confidence. I am convinced there is a decent striker in there for a coach who can develop him.
Maatsen isn't defensively good enough to play that role. Broja wasn't good enough before his injury sadly. He's only still here because we're lacking strikers. Sorry, but neither are the answer.
Mauricio Pochettino everyone. The only coach to make MESSI look bad in his whole career.
Diego Maradona
Then dumb fans pummels on enzo and caicedo when there's absolutely no movement up front to make spaces. Even messi wouldn't be able to play with this tactic, oh wait he already did in psg under poch with the same tactic and with way better teammates in a worst league and.... Messi failed. Imagine that.
I still don’t get why Chelsea hired him and won’t sack him. Didn’t win anything with Tottenham, had to run to PSG to finally win a trophy(and he even lost the title his first year).
What does Chelsea expect? 😂
Tbf who has won anything with Spur let alone reaching the UCL final with it, give credit where its due sometimes. I do admit he made Messi look bad, changed tactics every single week, bottled it vs Madrid (not his fault) but overall made PSG worse. And shouldn't manage top 4 teams tbf
Superb analysis, thank you!
I agree, Chelsea just have no ideas and no creativity when it comes to beating a low block. This is a disgrace, and I think Poch must take the blame. What are they doing all day, every day, on the training pitch? I would genuinely like to know!!
They need to grow a spine..!
Literally!
Meaning that, as Maurinho had: Keeper, John Terry, a Def Mid, Frank Lampard and a Star Forward.
A SPINE..
They would know how to build, and how to react.
And then some 5-10 team moves on top of that.. Like pressing together, as a wolfpack. Etc.
Winning.
They are training to get injuries. lol. But, seriously, I get you. It kills me everyweek. I ask the same questions. My depression about Chelsea has gotten so bad. I don't think I'll be getting up at 5:30 in the morning this weekend to watch a similar performance with Fulham.
beating low block teams has been a problem since tuchel time.
Very clear account of Chelsea's problems. The forwards aren't being put through because Enzo and Caicedo are not getting fed. We're too slow in the build up.
Brillant read of the game. Seems like Poch and team are unware. They gets a week to practice these things in training ground and we see nada on field.
this is exactly the thing i find even more frustrating than the results alone. we got fantastic midfielders like enzo and caicedo but poch can't find a tactic that suits them
its not a poch problem
@@nickyheartit is😂
its both, even if poch could perfectly suit them tactically, theres still too much youth and inexperience (and not clicking with each other on a personal level) to really perform at a top level, but even if they clicked perfectly, poch doenst have the control over the dressing room or the tactical gall to make them fit! enzo and caicedo were great for their clubs because they had good managers, good connections with their teammates, and not nearly as much pressure to perform as they do now being british record signings, thats why he was so good at spurs, nobody really expects spurs to win conistently, and he was able to bring in cheap prospects and youth rather than splurging out half a billion pound and all the burden that comes with it @@nickyheart
@@Juicerock12 Hard to believe it is Poch when his use of Dembele, Schneiderlin and Veratti is pretty much how he is supposed to be using Caicedo/Enzo in terms of ball progressing. Especially Dembele who, imo, was the heart of his Spurs team.
Chelsea even pulled a 3 pass move that went from Disasi, Caicedo to Palmer and resulted in a very good chance.
It just seems like the CBs are too risk averse to pass into the midfield in the first place. Colwill and Silva both specialize in long balls and switches, with Colwill being too young to have a perfectly nuanced passing game, and Silva being too old to mould almost. Disasi seems to create those passes to midfield more than anyone else, and he is by any metric the worst of them all on the ball. He created the pass to Jackson that resulted in Palmer's second against Luton, and the pass I referred to earlier.
Generic statement, but the reason Poch's development timeline looks slow right now is likely because he's had to focus on too many footballing problems simultaneously. Usually, Chelsea managers walked in, had a solid defense to work with and found a new formula to counter-attack and won titles, got sacked after that formula stopped working. New manager comes in, repeat. Sacking Poch will make things worse, who is realistically available in the market that has had a better record setting up an attack than him?
People saying Mourinho are daft because he's never succeeded at a club where he wasn't spoon-fed a set of world class CBs to build his team based on. Roma literally have zero unpredictability about them in attacking play, neither did his United and Spurs teams.
@@nickyheart good explanation. :/
Wow , I watch every minute of every chelsea game and watch countless videos after the results , this is by far the best example of our mess , if u were the manager we would more then likely have won .. and that’s crazy to say
Wow! You have nailed it right on! I have been screaming this at the TV. Give the FUCKING ball to Caicedo! I honestly don't know if Poch/owners have any idea why Caicedo is as good as he is. The most expensive UNDERUTILIZED player we have ever had. You have the best Football analysis out there! Incredible stuff.
You feel exactly the way I do. When I was watching that match live I felt Chelsea looked so stupid with their sideways passes or horse shoe style. But I think it sums up the kind of coach they have
The sad thing is that Boehly and co could have taken a chance on Postecoglou.... Imagine.... So sad.
@@adamwaters3425I think he’d be doing a better job too
The players just pass the ball around hoping someone will do something special
You know I really got frustrated watching our centre halves falling to thread a simple pass to either caicedo or enzo. Like what are we doing in training, what is pochetino's philosophy really? There's no pattern at all just a horseshoe. Conor isn't confident lately, chukwuemeka needs to get back in and maybe lavia to cover moises and enzo when they move up
Poch & the whole team need to spend a week just watching this video on repeat.
Colwill at centre back would turn that whole Caicedo situation on its head. He made countless line breaking passes last season at Brighton. We need defenders in their correct positions ffs. If we lose to Fulham at home on Saturday for the first time in 45 years then Poch has some serious explaining to do.
This game killed my soul watching it, we was sooooooo static and why was we crossing the ball so much like we was playing with a real 9 🤦♂️
Bang on analysis, loving the content from this channel now a days!
That alien bit was class 😅
Pochettino is not using his fullbacks (Colwill at LB) so the overlap is not an option, he doesn't want enzo in his double pivot because he wants his deepest midfielders to run up and down the pitch ( he is not interested in controlling a game, just attack on sight.)
So his next idea is to put enzo in the 10 CAM position which is not the best idea because his best attributes are highlighted in build up play, receiving the ball from defense being press resistant and being able to pick a pass cross field to runners up front.
His front line is static (as you highlighted in the video, which scares me as a fan because what does that tell us about training)
And his in-game management is shocking (when we were chasing games, he just panics and just throws players on, hoping it'll all work out.)
Loving all the chelsea videos mate
Subscribed because of this video!
Caicedo, Cucurella, Colwill. The three C's from Brighton and they all looked better there, because the manager used them correctly. Surely, THEY know each other's game, best positions, and so on, so why not look for those passes? Why not make those moves?
I was really positive when Poch took over, but he's just not finding a way to instil any team spirit and players just seem clueless. Honestly not sure how Chelsea can build from this, it seems more likely that it'll get worse before there's any improvement.
Even a signing like Osimhen won't immediately save us, I'd expect his form to drop off much like all the rest. Palmer came in with something prove but his confidence looks like it's fading away.
Only highlight this year has been the improvement of Mudryk.
Great content Adam. Love seeing a proper tactical breakdown 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Outstanding breakdown. How is that you can figure out a way to break down other teams but Poch can’t? Make it make sense.
The problem of breaking down a low block is exactly what happened towards the end of Poch's time at Tottenham as well. It was always stressful going against teams lower in the table because it was always 90 minutes of horseshoe around the box with nobody moving off the ball to make space. The whole match was waiting for that one moment of brilliance from something like a Son curler from outside the box or an Eriksen free kick in stoppage time. Often it never came and so many points were dropped in low scoring games against relegation threatened teams who were well organized and sat with 10 men in the box for 90 minutes.
What we learned... Silva just needs to pass the Ball to Caicedo and say "Run Barry, Run!"
Thank you for this analysis. As a Chelsea fan, I think this is a problem we had with almost every manager at some point. I don't know if you remember these situations, but it was a state of the team before they sacked a manager. Mou, Potter, Tuchel ... I saw this with every manager. They just did not have a clear idea how to score a goal in these kind of situations. They would just pass the ball from one side of the pitch to the other, and nothing. Just my opinion, hope it gets better.
Exactly how it ended for Poch at spurs. Possession and passing galore but couldn't break down the block. He was worked out back then and hasn't changed.
Nail on the head there! it's not a new thing, we've been struggling against low blocks for a long time. As soon as Fabregas was brought in we had a player that would try the killer pass more often than not. No one wants to play those risky passes anymore. Just side to side, back, forward in the hope a 10yd passage opens up to goal.
@@chriscole3624 I would love to see a shot from outside the box from time to time. It would show the opponent that they can't just stay low. Work in progress hehe
Chelsea issues have been in midfield for many years they haven’t had a cm that can score or assist regularly
Pochettino is furiously scribbling down notes watching this video
So many people hate on Caicedo but they don’t see that he’s one of the only players along with enzo and palmer that actually have quality on the ball. So many times we are side to side or passing backwards, then it comes to Caicedo and he puts a first time ball into a good area where it should’ve gone 6 passes ago, he tries to get things going but our wingers aren’t creative enough and are very lazy just walking around, sterling is a massive example of that
8:05 Poch had the same kind of problem already at Spurs in 2018. I remember watching games, it was so painful to see our backline passing around the ball for 80 minutes without any creativity just to somebody lose the ball in the end.
Thanks Adam! Love the the way you break down your analysis and as a Boro fan great to see some content for us! More where that came from please
They continuously had too many players in deep/safe positions adding nothing and passing to people 5 yards away.
This is exactly the same issue Spurs had, no ability to break down a low block. If a high press failed there wasn’t a plan b… never any in game tactical changes or clever subs. Chelsea don’t even seem to have a high press to start with though
Class video as per, love your analysis
As a Tottenham fan this was Poch's achilles heel. Low block and compact teams.
We had Eriksen and Kane who would often pull something off and that would open it up. Plus we had 2 FBs who could pin the opposition so eventually the intense press could make the opposition relent.
But once some key elements left or faded (Dembele, Walker, Wanyama, Alli) Poch just couldnt find a new solution to it.
It resulted in a horrendous diamond and other teams simply pressing better.
He couldnt find any answers
Love your videos man
Nice to see actual analysis of Chelsea that isn't just "hurrrr need striker". That said, I disagree with the notion that it's wrong that Enzo is receiving deeper than Caicedo. He's far better at that than he is at whatever the hell Pochettino is asking him to do right now. He should be playing deep alongside Caicedo setting the tempo from midfield. Instead, he spends most of his time standing next to the striker. Incredible he's managing to waste the talents of two £100m elite midfielders in two totally different ways. No real reason for him to still be in post to be honest. He's so far out of his depth, worse than Potter.
Excellent comment, wish way more Chelsea fans thought like you. Poch needs to be sacked and we need a progressive possession based head coach next!
I was 13 when I watched Boro 7-2 Chelsea. I fell in love with Boro that day in 1978. I’m going to enjoy this week but will be behind the sofa for the return leg 🤣
Exceptional analysis.
Good vid!
Entertaining and informative ❤
good analysis, helps me identify my frustration
Chelsea aren't a team. They're a collection of players who happen to wear a blue shirt
subscribed!!!
I totally disagree about it being a problem that Enzo's average positioning is deeper than Caicedo. Enzo has a Kroos-like profile and is able to take up the space of the LB (LCB in buildup) and make long, accurate passes in the 1st phase of buildup. However, this does not mean that Poch is using Caicedo to his full potential. Chelsea's CBs should definitely be looking to put balls into the middle of the field to find Caicedo when possible. Poch needs to be sacked due to abysmal tactics and his misuse of incredible talents, but not until there is a long-term, tactically-astute replacement available. Thus, we wait till the end of the season and hope a European position is secured, and convince Osimhen to join the club.
The owners are just being reactive and not proactive. They will only sack him if we lose to Middlesborough at home. Even if we do make it to Wembley, we don’t have a chance against Klopp cuz Poch is clueless. His pressing structure is ass, barely any rotational play, misprofiling multiple players, doesn’t want to take risks and go centrally. If we want to actually have a chance of winning the EFL and maybe getting Europe. Hansi Flick as an interim until the end of the season is a shout. He doesn’t need time, he got results immediately with Bayern. Just need someone that gives faith to the fans to trust in the process by implementing a clear and distinct style of play
type shit
@@jacklonsberry1316shit
My point exactly,the coach lacks strategies on how to break down stubborn teams
After so many games Poch seems to have no clue, leaving it to the players to improvise.
Problem is a Young team and very bad offensive strategien… we PLAY bad and slow! So its so Easy to defend and most of our chances come from mistakes by opponents… bad tactics from the manager and a very slow build up is good when you lead like City, Real and when Barca were good. What is possesion if you cant score or get Big chances…..
Mate, your in-game analysis is awesome! I love your videos my man. Insane, truly.
I was continually thinking, get the ball to Caicedo in the middle, and every time it slowly was passed around. Never was anything done with any kind of speed or attempt to break the defense quickly, especially on the few occasions when the ball was turned over.
What I don't get is, at rhe start this season, we were doing all that. Everything disappeared around September
Playing a false 9 makes it worst
No palmer no.9 real
Exactly they never want to pass to players in the central
I don't think Poch uses the direct midfield passing lane a lot even when at Tottenham, Dier / Dembele spreads the balls wide to WBs who overlap with Wingers to cross or pullback pass in the box. It requires them to have mutual understanding and are used to playing with each other. Not a lot of teams are able to break the low block like Pep's team who constantly rotate in the box to lead players out of position.
The past few coaches all set up the front line to be very rigid / discipline to wait for chance of overlap and cross instead of being fluid to rotate and create chances for anyone to run through . I feel that Sterling / Palmer coming from Man City should be able to influence the rest in giving that extra effort to rotate freely so that the attack can be more deadly. I know it requires a lot of knowing who is where and will run where and where to pass but if this can be done for a few straight games, it will discourage teams to use low block against Chelsea and make them come out to play. I'm not saying we must keep it up for the whole season, even for a young team, i don't think they have the legs to do it every 100+ mins weekly. Just let them know we have a plan to overcome low block and teams will not do it against us that frequently.
Is that a Jayhawk on the bottom left of the screen behind you on the shelf?
big up thx
This is why I love Jackson he wants the ball all the time and he will drop in deep get the ball and drive forward with palmer cutting inside or going wide pulling defenders
He shouldn't have to do that, but Chelsea fans that think he's the worst striker in the world are in for a rude awakening. Without Jackson dropping deep, turning and running past defenders we have no way of moving the ball from the middle to the final third. It's Jackson's individual brilliance alone. He is an unbelievably smart and strong footballer. Just needs to corral his finishing.
Hey Adam, thanks for yet another insightful video on Chelsea's attacking issues! As a fan, I tend to believe the easy explanations of too many chances wasted (look at the xG! etc.). It is essential to keep in mind the broader picture: these chances were not exactly created.
What is happening to Enzo, in your opinion? He is falling back deeper - yet it doesn't provide the team with any specific advantages. Is he in a wrong position all the time?
Enzo is actually quite good at receiving deep as well, hes a build up specialist too. The issue is thr movement after he recieves it.
Cheldea clearly has no buildup plan. There's nothing being communicated to thrse guys except RUN
Fantastic anaysis, thank you from a boro fan, the press is labelling it as all on chelsea, whilst as you say, there's a lot of work and determination from the boro team that led to them not just tearing us apart (ofc they were rubbish though) UTB
Poch has made this team worse. Misprofiling players all season and having abysmal tactics. Only Poch could make 200 million worth of midfielders look bad. Can't stand watch us play sometimes because Poch sets us up wrong every game. We should be dominating every game especially when you have players like Enzo and Caicedo in the midfield. We have no press and our build up plays is awful
100% spot on, Chelsea can't sort out that first pass from defence
Can’t coach a defense and a midfield, forget attack that man gets saved by some individual brilliance. When Palmer missed 4 chances I knew we were done.
Even the games before we played Boro were disgusting wins.
HUGE CREDIT TO BORO. 14 INJURIES WITH 2 MORE GOING DOWN IN 20 MINUTES OF 1ST HALF
Go back to Palmer's first game...watch him shout about the lack of movement up-front. Attacking coach is asleep at the wheel mate
This sounds very familiar...cant think where this happened before???? Oh yes thats right Man Utd when Van Gaal was in charge. I think it was even the same opposition loads of crosses no shots on target. Fans screaming attack attack attack because all they were doing was sending it side to side.
Good vid deya
You can blame the manager, but I just think Middlesbrough did extremely well and are peaking in performance right now. They're the ones who made it to that match in the first place, it's not like they're some non-league team.
Poch needs to have a sit-down with the sporting guys to know why some of the players were brought to the club. Another insightful video. Thanks.
Sterling is finished. I don't know why Potch keeps Mudryk on the bench as he's been far better than Sterling this season. When Mudryk and Nkunku both begin to start matches, that's when Chelsea will score goals (regularly). If Broja was fit he should have started upfront in this match.
"someone's brain just falls out". I liked that
Even as a chelsea fan i can admit this is a great breakdown even though it's damning for my club, good job
All night we stifled any momentum we built up mainly because instead of playing balls in behind for the wingers to be on their toes after, the wingers kept coming back towards half way to receive and then dribbling into midfield. Mudryk is supposed to be lightening fast but he never kicked the ball past the full back to chase it and he was never looking to get on to any slide rule pass in behind. Why not? Even the classic ploy of getting in behind defenders when you can’t be offside to receive our throw ins in the boro half saw Sterling walking back towards our goal instead of showing any attacking intelligence and sprinting behind the full back to receive the throw. To me this is all schoolboy stuff and says the manager just doesn’t know how to best use these players going forward.
What happened to taking shots from outside the box. must you always try to dribble into the box. take long quality shots and who knows, you might get a deflected shot which could end up in the opposition net or even a hand ball which will result in a penalty. must they always try to dribble into the box. all you see in training is players taking shots at goal for fun until its matchday and they all begin to play like U18s
poch needs to see this
I pray Chelsea sees these analysis 🙏🏽
So refreshing to listen to someone who actually understands football
The most accurate accessment of Caicedo in Chelsea so far. What a waste of talent.
My favourite bit was the Alien dialogue😃. 1 defence i would make of Poch: is it Moises Caicedo is hiding from collecting the ball as he used to at Brighton? In the footage shown a lot of players just trotting and walking around and not really creating angles. Maybe its the zones Poch wants them in but maybe these players are scared and waiting for individuals to bail them out.
That alien joke LMFAAAOOOO
I can't interpret that as anyting other than the manager is failing to do his job.
Well done
Oi what happened to the Palmer chance created from Disasi through ball to Caicedo and to Palmer’s scuffed effort
We take zero risks. Hence there is never any reward. The point regarding Caicedo is telling too. We have Thiago Silva, and Colwill who are exquisite passers who can always find him. Let's also not talk about how we are wasting Colwill at LB.....while we send our only available LB out on loan. In the attack, our wingers stay anchored, isolated, instead of providing interplay and 1-2's. How Poch continues promote this type of football is baffling.
Finally a video for Chelsea 🎉🎉🎉, hopefully there is more.
Really quite damning that you can see the problem but Pochettinho can't...
Poch is mugging a living at top level
That was not Chelsea. I saw Chelsea pack the day Tuchel left.
Cast your mind back, chelsea were struggling towards the end of Tuchels management. And lots of ppl then were calling for Tuchel to go.
They played like dogshit last months with tuchel
My main frustration with this analysis is that Caicedo has not been good at recieving the ball deep at all this season and he switches off frequently in the defensive phases of play.
its been like this since 2010/2011. Lack of creativity in Chelsea and striker struggle to scores
Kante used to receive those kind of passes in the midfield and distribute the ball easily.
Sometimes u have to go old school with leagues below preimership long balls wide,over the top ,why buy a pocket player n not pass to him
Poch stupidity masterclass
The manger made PSG attack looks dumb
Imagine kids 😂😂😂
Good vid but small detail it’s Latte Lath, not Lette Lath
I said all your thoughts in this games and was asking the same questions.
Hard to blame attackers when the two fullbacks are told to play cautions and stay back, along with two DMs told to sit and hold. So basically when we attack it’s 4-5 players vs 9….good luck
I figure it also might be down to confidence. You're trying to look good in difficult circumstances leading you to choose safer options.
With less pressure and more confidence I'm sure Caicedo and Enzo would tear it up.
