Reminds me a lot of Oscar - the good things. sure with a midfield of 3 Ross can make that a bit more attacking which he’s done last season. dont think the pivot is working very well atm.

NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 If Mount continues this way, and RLC become again player from last season after he's back I can see us selling Barkley. We can probably get 50m or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Usually i'd be quite critical of a performance like that but he was drafted in the lineup in the 11th hour so that has to be factored. Bosnian Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Ross showed today why Mount is ahead of him in the pecking order. From the amount of chances he had he needs to score at least one. OneMoSalah and Vesper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we go back to a 3 man midfield as opposed to 2 screening and one more advances think it suits everyone better. Particularly Ruben who although I think he can play as a 10 but like Tomo said in a thread when we discussed it, his drivings run from there slightly more deeper are very effective. Still dont get why he never put Willian in on the wing ahead of using Ross and shifting Mason outwide but hey ho not the first time FL has used 2 10s in that 3 and it hasn't exactly worked too well.

Yes its a shoe horn but Willian can not be trusted. He is absolute shit and wveryone knows it. I would rather put Tammy on the wing than willian Vesper and Bosnian Blue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather put Tammy on the wing than willian Perhaps but we need pace on both sides to stretch teams and be more effective in offensive transitions, Mason is quickish but not as fast as you'd want a winger to be. Also Willian, despite his huge inconsistency and lack of end product is probably better going the otherway when we drop into a shape out of possession. We do need to upgrade on him but I think Lamps already has a preference of using Ross and Mason ahead of him even if it means shoehorning them in the team which hasnt really been a success so far for me but I would expect that to change when Callum is ready. Its a work in progress and I think a striker, a wide player (Pedro replacement) and left back will be the top 3 positions we look to strengthen when our transfer ban is done.

All our tradirional wingers are quick enough I guess but Willian is just so poor, i rather have a player who has actual end product on that position. I agree you need a quick player either side. So you saw Emerson pushing high up the pich. He has got pace to burn albeit no end product as well he stretches play. We will be fine anywayonce CHO comes back. I think the wing positions for Lamps are more like no 10s. One always plays rather narrow and the fullbacks make the width. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has no left foot and cannot run with the ball without looking down at the ground all the time. This makes him miss loads of chances to make the correct passing option and take too many touches of the ball before he releases it. 1905didierblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguelito 459 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 He did okay-ish. Honestly he's just so frustrating to watch. Takes 4 touches when he only needs 2. Constantly makes the wrong pass. The most frustrating is how he slightly misplaces so many passes. They end getting to our player most of the time (sometimes not though), but it's rarely ever where it needs to be. It'll be not quite be in stride so they'll have to slow down. It's often behind the player so they have to stop, turn around, and retrieve the ball (this especially happens when he is passing so an outside back.It kills so much attacking momentum. Slows down play, allows defenses to get in better positions, etc.Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't have the efficiency or decisiveness or end product or decision making for it. Part of that is confidence, but most is not.There's a reason mount plays over him. He's simply the superior player.Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1905didierblue 748 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Has to be a confidence issue. Specially after all the talk of "taking more risks", all he did was play safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 25, 2019 Popular Post! Share Posted August 25, 2019 This is his 3rd season as a Chelsea player. He has not developed for 4 yeara now in his career or regressed if anything. If he does not make a breakthrough on the next 8 month we should sell him. Being english and shit he could well bring 30m+. We could well use the cash to fund better players in positions we are not as stacked as in his. the wes, NikkiCFC, kellzfresh and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
