Morata has terrible ball control. Doesn't know how to control his body when on the ball
We need energy in midfield (Fabregas out), speed on the flanks (Alonso out) and control in attack (Morata & Pedro out)
Community Shield Lineup against Chelsea: Bravo - Walker - Stones - Laporte - Mendy - Fernandinho - Foden - Mahrez - Bernardo - Sane - Aguero
We are still learning a completely new style of play, so a respectable loss is understandable. We just need clear signs of progression and Sarri to quickly identify possible weaknesses like Alonso.
I thought he was supposed to return for training today. I couldn't find any pictures of him anywhere. Or is he coming back along with kante/Giroud on Monday?
Courtois wants to leave and Chelsea dont look like they have any money to buy anyone else. Caballero is a disaster waiting to happen, Bulka is the realistic name there unless we force Courtois to stay and go for free next summer.
I want CHO to go the Mbappe route and learn to play on the right wing while he's still very young and learning. It would be a master stroke if it works out.
Hazard - Pedro - CHO
Fabregas - Kante
Jorginho
LB - Luiz - Rudiger - Azpi
Bulka
I have slim hopes for Martial this summer, but maybe we can put pedro as false 9. He's played that position before for Spain (Hazard - Pedro - CHO)
He is more willing to shoot than any other player in our team and is actually our best finisher with lol.
Big mistake not getting him here, even on a loan to get through this season. Our season now hangs on the hope that somehow Morata feels loved and okay mentally to begin to finish chances and get us to top four.
Sarri's season hinges on Morata's finishing. In games where we are supposed to be leading 3-0, we end up scoring only 1-0 and risk being equalized at the last minute. This is a cross Sarri and Chelsea will have to carry this season. Unless Batshuayi surprises us or Sarri springs a (CHO - HAZARD - PEDRO/WILLIAN) false 9 formation on us.
Let him take the right wing role. Hazard has the left wing on lock, so he should take the right wing role for the season. He's a better dribbler than willian/pedro and is faster than both.
