Well hopefully he’s watching the Kane Jude derby right now to pick up some tips because two champions league semi finalists can’t possibly use a zonal marking system at corners, can they? Trix told me it was dead.
I mean, it was a very similar barge to the one in the lead up to Chelsea's winner against Villa yesterday, wasn't it? So if that one wasn't given, we can't complain. Oh wait...
Better than Maddison maybe, but disagree about Bentancur. For me, Hojbjerg Is massively at fault for the Saka goal...
I thought Solomon was bought on the back of his hot streak for Fulham where he scored something like 4 in 4, cutting in from the left? The type of goal that defeats a low block, and the type of goal you're unlikely to see Timo scoring. I think a lot of the debate about our forwards, and...
Completely agree with you as far as during the transition / acclimatisation process is concerned, and this is exactly what we're seeing this season.
But I understand the plan to be that after a season or so the players get accustomed to these roles and are much more effective at it. This...
At the moment Gio is levels above Deki in the number 10 role. Such a shame there's not a year's option left on his contract to give us more time to see if he can shake off the injury bug. I'd love him to stay but would be shocked if he does.
That's another fine quote and that's an impressive graph? Web-map? Interesting to see counters improved as that was Plan A under Conte. And I wonder how physicality is measured? Yellow cards awarded to centre backs, perhaps? But we certainly need to get more physical at corners, that's for sure.
I agree he was in his early games, but I see him developing this area of his game every time he plays. He's running back more, taking up better positions, even winning the ball back a couple of times quite high up the pitch. Nowhere near Deki levels yet, but hopeful he'll keep working on it...
For sure, but I think the best plan may be to play him central against teams who don't low block us and coming off the bench against classic low blocks. Some particular teams, maybe on the wing, or depending on who else is available. I see him starting most games somewhere, but combining the...
I wonder how far away we still are from the time when Son becomes our super sub who comes on at either LW or ST depending on the opposition and state of the game and scores a hat trick every week against tiring legs a la Leicester.
It's a very complicated puzzle, isn't it, and I'm glad Ange is the man whose job it is to solve it.
First of all, what to do with Son? I agree he's not brilliant out on the wing, and he's not brilliant at striker against teams who play a low block, so let's hope he's on fire in our tough run...
