    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Is there a thread for discussing the tactics and technicalities of it (Ange's style of football, so to speak), or just stick it all in here? For me there's a big difference between the man (obvious fucking legend) and the system which has some question marks over it. Defending set pieces is something that can...

    Whatever the next line up is I'd find a way to cram all of Bentacur, Madison and Lo Celso in. Either risk being lightweight in central midfield with Gio and Bents or put Madison out on the left and play Johnson on the right.

    It would be nice to have Madison, Bentacur and Lo Celso on the pitch together more often.

    Gil is such a weird choice.

    Lets try Lo Celso and Maddison in front of Bentacur. Might as well go for it

    Flop from Madders but it's that exchange with both him and Bentacur playing on the turn that is the difference between us being effective or not.

    I'll be a little controversial and suggest we should go three in the middle for a bit, take Kulu off. We can always swap a CM out for Madison later.

    We had control of the Arsenal game and mostly outplayed them.

    Son isn't a make shit happen creative player, he's an assassin that you feed chances to. He's not the problem, it's the lack of control in the middle and not being able to play through them.

    So what's the answer to having no control in the middle? Go three in the middle? Get Bentacur on alongside Sarr and Bissouma? Madison on for Kulu, as Madison will drop deeper and help link things up? Replace Emerson with someone more creative on the ball?

    Next week everyone will be calling him a hero. Week after calling for his head. He's a good player, not our biggest problem but the balance of this set up doesn't suit him today.

    At least Chelsea are dumb as fuck, a chance to cross from a set piece and they let Mudryk fuck around with it.

    Kulu is ok if you have Bentacur playing in midfield as he's a lot more creative than Sarr and Bissouma or if the other side is sitting off us a lot more. If we can't play though them then you need players like Madison and Bents who are creative and can play on the turn.

    They get behind our midfield with ease so we need to adjust our formation or we'll keep getting overloaded and leaving passing lanes open.

    Either the coaching team is indefensible or our goal is.

    Hojberg and Bentacur had a much better balance in the middle the other day.

    It's not just as simple as whether a team sits off or presses us either, it's seems to be about how the formations match up and how and who they press. I'm not saying Ange needs to consider plan B and C etc every time things get a little difficult, perhaps plan A might need a little evolving...
