Even as mount continues to improve further back havertz will be the laziest cm we have. Its essentially a lop sided 4231 with Mount having to bear the brunt of the work to help the dm.

Was not that the premise of the argument of pinning lower teams in their own halves. Lolol. Hmmm. Just the way kdb is lazy right?

City play this system every game. Their final goal was more than a sniff they walked through the middle of the pitch and I swear Antonio's goal was from open play too. City play two energetic 8's. It works because they work hard. Up and down the pitch. Havertz won't do that Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we hade 5 midfielders in front of the defence lol. Are you misunderstanding me, hmmmmm? Its when they are out of position we are fucked and they *are* out of position often. Quoting a game where we had either 11 men behind the ball or where countering them is irrelevant. Lol. The Watford game had nothing to do with a solid performance by us they were cowards. So what now hmmmm? Lolololololol Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christensen ball watching for that goal. We restricted them to three shots on target and they scored three however. Also, Mount didn't even start this game. It was Kovacic+Kante.

Mount did not start the whu game. Kova and kante did. So no we did not lose it due to 2 no. 8. Sure, the Watford game had nothing to do with us. So evrytime we fuck up, it's us, otherwise it's the other team, right? Perfectly logical conclusion. 😂😂 If the point was being "out of position" then performances against Watford proves otherwise. If the point was defensive nuance, then we have city. Otherwise you can keep changing your goal posts as and when it's suits your agenda.

They didn't press us at all it was walking pace. And the arsenal game came weeks later whilst our game with them was relatively close to the restart. Regardless of why they played so poor, that they played much better in another match doesnt mean they played well or were a threat in our match Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The watford game didn't reflect on us defensively because you can judge whether their players were competent and they weren't. Or are you saying you can't tell the difference between us controlling the opposition and the opposition being poor? [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787] Watford didn't move past the halfway line so the point about two 8's is moot.

I cant judge if Watford were poor or we were good, but damn, look at the confidence and the super power that you have which can so easily make the correct assumption. But I like this - " We should play 2 no. 8s, will help us pin the teams back, exhibit A" "Exhibit A is invalid as the opposition Did not want to cross the half way line" Yeah sure, it was the first time Watford were playing a big team. Not like they beat Liverpool playing on the counter, right? 😂😂 Lol indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,178 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 MASON MOUNT EXCLUSIVE CUP FINAL INTERVIEW: WEMBLEY TRIPS AS A BOY, THRIVING UNDER FRANK AND FIGHTING FOR A SPECIAL TROPHY https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2020/08/01/mason-mount-exclusive-cup-final-interview--wembley-trips-as-a-bo?cardIndex=0-0 As we continue our build-up to this evening’s Heads Up FA Cup final, Mason Mount talks about watching his hometown team triumph at Wembley, the secrets behind his brilliant breakthrough season in blue and what we need to do to beat Arsenal… The FA Cup’s magical mystique has been conjured from 148 years of history, tales of famous giant-killings and upsets mixed in with the drama of knockout football and the passing down of cherished memories from generation to generation. It is, according to Mason Mount, ‘a special competition’ and he should know, having first attended a final at the age of nine as his hometown club Portsmouth defied all the odds back in 2008, beating Cardiff City. Wide-eyed and dwarfed by the majority packed inside Wembley, Mount remembers the day like any football-mad boy would. As he prepares to line up for Chelsea in the 2020 final 12 years on, the pen of FA Cup folklore is poised to write another chapter. ‘I went to both the semi-final and the final in 2008 with my dad and it was just brilliant to see Portsmouth actually lift the trophy,’ he recalls in an exclusive interview with the official Chelsea website as we look ahead to today’s final against Arsenal. snip killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made almost zero impact yesterday Gesendet von meinem VOG-L29 mit Tapatalk I have nothing against him but I wish we have attacking midfielders who raise their heads up to look for runners instead of only making aimless runs everywhere. Look at Lampard as a player, I lost count the number of times he gave assists simply because he raised his head to look for options. Mount needs to do that more and stop this Barkley route of only looking at the ball when in possession, raise your head when on the ball, you're an attacking Mid for crying out loud.
