I can't see him stuck in the starting eleven long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had so many doubts on him at the start of the season, but you can see how well he is progressing. Playing out the back, those cross field balls to Alonso, even driving into the mid.

killer1257 3,282 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I agree from what I have seen. He is pacey as hell.He could keep up with Salah, which means a lot. Also Zouma is quite fast too. We have a very pacey team right now. CHO, Puli, Tammy, Tomori, Zouma Emerson, Willian etc. have decent pace.Gesendet von meinem SM-G920F mit Tapatalk Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gesendet von meinem SM-G920F mit Tapatalk Mount Rudiger (very underrated in terms of pace) Reece Kante Guehi and even AC, Kovacic, Gilmour, Bats, RLC (when fully healthy) and Barkley are all fairly pacey as well Pedro was insanely fast when he was younger, but now is a shadow of that hell, Kepa is really fast for a GK, lolol killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 The Valencia match has demonstrated how crucial he is already especially while Rudigers out. He's the only one that can play on the left hand side competently, Christensen and Zouma have been good while partnering Fik on the right but a disaster together.

Baffled by Lampard's decision to change the entire back 4 for a huge game (am not starting the debate again!) TBH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's assuming Emerson would struggle again. Even if he did, it's arguably "better" that one player struggle than the entire back 4 because they aren't familiar with one another. At the very least, Zouma-Tomori should probably have started. They aren't perfect but at least they've played enough times to form that partnership and we needed someone competent in the LCB position. Plus, Christensen hadn't played much at all prior to that Valencia game and it was highly risky to have just thrown him into a huge CL game like that.

I am very sure we would have been training with the combinations of reece-emerson, reece-azpi ans azpi-emerson in the training. I mean for all purposes we have 3 proper full backs, and i am sure it would have crossed the mind of lamps to train with the apt back line. Irrespective, if we are building on a meritocracy philosophy, then it makes no sense to drop Reece for such a game, and personally i think he was very good. Azpi deserved the start over Emerson for Lb. With the power of hindsight, i have to agree on Andreas. He was really poor, but personally i wanted him to start and tomori to give way. So i kind of agree and disagree. I can see your point, but i can also see lamps' pov, specially related to the FB situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azpi deserved the start over Emerson for Lb. I'm sure they practice in training but just why change it at Valencia? I don't disagree with the meritocracy thing but at the same time, you gotta trust the players to perform on matchday. Otherwise, we'll be changing the backline, for example, every game which isn't ideal. I get it if they perform badly like for 3-4 games etc but not just after 1 game.
