MONEYBALL

Too bad for Timo we've got a team which can't play in own's part of the pitch without conceding too many goals 🙂 Our defensive players are too erratics for playing this strategy. We don't have a strong number 6 to play like the third CB just ahead the defense, this not the natural role of Kante and Jorginho always get drowned under pressure, our CB, precisely, are not good enough since the Cahill's twilight, they also get in panic too easily even if Silva has brought stability, we need, at least one boss 100% fit on those posts. No possible feat without this leader, a Chelsea fan should know it better than anyone. Last point, our wings back, except Dave who has been declining on this post, are, unfortunately, not real defenders. So playing with possesion and the 3-5-2 is the way the more suitable to our individual qualities. We won't find spaces for our strikers by playing in defense, we'll find it by making differences in the midfield with talent and creativity (and not always pace as i always can read on this forum). We must give the ball faster, no matter if our player's got pace if they keep it three hours before passing, in this perspective, i 'd always choose players like Fernandes or Ozil over Pulisic or Hazard. a conductor rather a solist and i'm still waiting to know in which category Havertz is.

Very very short memory... So, for this home match against MU, may be the most important of the season, let's leave Giroud on the bench, play Havertz, Pulisic or Werner and pray what they didn't show yet this season , come back like a miracle for this game. And if the miracle does'nt come, let's hope another miracle, Giroud doing in 15 minutes the thing our young and pacy superstars would'nt 've been able to do in 75 minutes.

Every one on this forum is too logical for me 😀 We're are going to play one of the most important game of the season to reach the four top, just like a miracle regarding our december-january results and most of you want to rest our best player (Mount), by far, since several months and get away our best impact player (Giroud) during the big games. Please, help me to understand ! You just want Tuchel to prepare next season by making play our young stars who struggle or you're just giving your teams for playing fifa ?

So cute ! You're right again, sometimes it's better not try to argue

So sorry for you he signed for Chelsea club or at least he didn't leave during the last winter break cos' fc Chelsea and supporters like you deserve quick, young and expansive players. I understand so much your frustation and i can only sympathize with you to be obliged to bear an old man clumsy and slower than your grandmother instead of watching playing for our team, our young golden boys. Don't give up, you're so right to make observe us Giroud's uselessness and this atrocious statistic just in case some people think he could be Cristiano or Lewandowski.

A 250 millions recruitment is not exactly what we can call a young team !!! Gooners always found excuses after their board finally spend millions, they claimed for, for replacing Giroud and Ramsey by Aubame and Lacazette, without result. Butt I actually think it would be too easy to be to hard with Lamp. Just as Wenger did, he made come, the players the base wanted, hype young players with pace and assumed creativity but sometimes, these players can be much more hype than goods. When i read fans, who are wrong so many times, i'm telling myself, we shoud fire them first.

May be...May be not...But one thing is sure, we won't play CL anymore, not even EL. We 're getting arsenalised, like i predicted it. Overrated stars upfront and weaknesses in all the lines.

Playing with dwarfs...How long these boys could play without scoring a goal ???

What ? You don't trust our golden boys anymore ? May you have understand today the concept of "Target man" whom Chelsea always played before. Do you understand now, Werner can't be this target man, or you need more matches to realize ?

Where is our 9. I can't remember when Chelsea already played with such a light player for lone striker. Do the simple minds who explain us for several months Werner must play n°9 and that if we fell, it's because he doesn't, do these fifa specialists will always giving us their school boys analysis ?

Giroud has to leave the club cos' this season, he won't be as good enough to qualify the team for champion's league or FA Cup final. The same pretentrion, the same blindness for the chelsea fans than for the gooners, same desire of hype, same unnattainable aims. But third place for the londonians, is not an option. It's champion or nothing ! The tenth place...Bye, bye Giroud, we'll see you again for the match againts Athletico, your future club.

I hope Lamp 'll change his system, i don't believe in yours but if he decided to play as you 'd like and we loose because Werner and Havertz are still shit, at least it would put an end to this wrong diagnosis. Their positions on a game sheet is not the reason why they struggle. Regardind Lamp, i can't disagree with you, he's an emblematic character but a poor manager.

Our 2 most expensive players, we are not in a virtual game, you seem to forget it's on the piotch and not in tha amount of your transfert, footballers must demonstrate they are the "bigger players". And this excuse of position can't explain their mediocrity, too easy.

Anyway we haven't seen yet the 2 players for whom the club breaks its piggy. They are not good but you still prefer they play one of the most important game of the season. I' dont believe players who've been so poor than the two germans showed us recently, may be raised from the dead by playing big games, these guys need time, not pression and if they weren't called Werner and Havertz and did'nt coast so much money you'd be the first to want them to be on the bench.

You made your sheet team based on names and not on shapes or performances. It's not very fair for players who've played much better and who 've been much more efficients than the ones you choosed but why not ? It could be a click for our german stars or a click for you, to realze it is not the reputations which win the matches. Another thing....If you want to see Werner succeding, at least don't place him in this 4-3-3 which is clearly not made for him and even more in premier league.

Let's play Werner with Girou up front, that's the way the german used to play with Poulsen in Leipzig !

We all know what you'd prefer Giroud not be on the team but front of Villa who've parked the bus, not sure at all Tammy and especially Werner would have scored this first goal. Typical Chelsea's fan versus gooner.

Stop crossing !!! Giroud might score 2 goals !

Good enough to beat Aston Villa ? What a pretention ! When the first ream, presumed the strongest, even can't beat the Wolves or Everton, gets humiliated by Arsenal and struggles to beat Leeds which is in a fall down, how can we be so confident ? We must stay humble !

I'd like too see something like this, Mendy Azpi - Christensen - Rudiger - Chilwell CHO - Kante - Gilmour - Pulisic Abraham - Giroud The success of this 4-4-2 is supported by the capacity of the 2 wingers for helping the 2 center mildfield players

As Mount does, Reece struggles very hard for a few games without Lampard considering their substitutions. Lampard does not help players in bad shape, by insisting to keep on playing with them, he digs their holes still deeper. Same thing for Werner. Massive mistake, very bad coaching, inability to handle with forms and poor forms, especially when it affects his formers players.

So many excuses for this player ! It's easy to understand... Fans realize the collective is not good enough so they stake everything on the man of providence. No matter if he can't put anymore, one foot in front of the other, no matter if he can't make a simple ball control, if he can't score anymore, alone, 2 meters from the cage, there can't be no doubt, he scored so many goals in Germany, he's got so much pace, he's so hype, so highly rated on fifa, that the only valid explanation for the reasons he struggles is necessarily the position he plays on the pitch.

Giroud needs to leave during the winter break. Your pertinent analysis demonsttrates that he's not good enough for the famous Chelsea club and this great team composed of so many goods players, who run fast and cost very expansive. He's far miles less good than this incredible young english world class player, Abraham and even can't be compared to Werner and his clinical sense of goal. Giroud, a big little man who can just make you win small titles, Arsenal fans, just as you do, knew it (london intelligence), they knew what if they wanted to win real titles, their board had to spend lot of money to sign very strongs forwards, like Aubame, Lacazette and Pepe, kind of players with pace that every fan likes. Giroud must leave if Chelsea does'nt want to win another shit trophy or get qualified at the fourth place, for Chelsea just like for Arsenal it must be the first place or nothing (london claim). Giroud must leave to not inflict chelsea fans and Lampard the shame of getting, once again, their asses saved by a lampost.
