akgw13 867 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Moses, traore, Aina all deserve squad spots based on performance. Fabregas is no where to be found, we should be controlling the tempo but feels very disjointed between D and attack. Nothing Courtois could do on that free kick, great hit.

LukakutoStamford 779 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Good grief still need a LB/RB 2 CBs, at least two more CMs and two AMs This team is severely lacking in several positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,916 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I hate to say this, but we're shit. This average group of no-names can pass it around and keep the ball better than us. And outside of Moses and Traore this is looking likely to be our starting XI. Seriously, that looked like last season's Chelsea. Ultra slow midfield, the entire defense getting destroyed by a simple through ball or ball over the top, and strikers getting almost no service. We looked in that half like we did under Mourinho when it got really bad. Players can't string multiple passes together and keep simple possession. It's just one poor pass and Milan have it back. Matic looks simply terrible. Sluggish, terrible touch, slow on the ball. Willian looks off, Diego looks off, and Cesc looks as slow as ever.

Is this a one off or has he actually been providing some decent runs and play on the wing? I guess he could make up the squad. We have enough decent wingers, so it isn't an issue. Defence still looks really average. Aina's looked alright. He hasn't done much going forward but this system does seem to restrict our FBs attacking high up the pitch. In truth he has been no worse than Ivanovic but that isn't setting the bar particularly high. I still doubt that he'll be a first team regular. We're seeing the usual pre-season Moses. Again I don't think he'll start since he has Hazard (and arguably Cuadrado) ahead of him in the pecking order. And yeah the defending is still pretty crap. I prefer it when we overload the centre of the midfield and play with two lines of four instead of playing a back 5, losing the midfield battle and inviting in crosses... It brings back bad memories of Mourinho's back six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope its just rust for Costa though. I know it hasn't been mentioned but he was terrible. Runs weren't even on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are the actually good players ? There is Costa, Hazard, Zouma, and Azpi, Courtois and that's it. Hopefully people give have patience with Conte because we might be in for a very rough season.

Makes you wonder if we would be better if we had kept some combo of Mata, Schurrle, Ramires, Bertrand, Felipe Luis and/or David Luiz. Don't get me wrong, it was time for Ramires to go, but some of those names would be upgrades at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
