Something I'm noticing a fair bit recently. When Chelsea have the ball, other teams press them so that whenever a Chelsea player gets the ball past midfield, he is surrounded by 2-4 Newcastle players making any passes (except a back pass) almost impossible. When Newcastle have the ball, they space themselves so that there are forward and sideways outlets as well, so they are able to move the ball much more fluidly. This is the sort of thing Cole was grumbling about against Brentford. Our attackers don't move properly and they don't space themselves properly. The only time our attackers have any space is when there is a turnover which we turn into a counter-attack (which is rare).
