SUNZ 155 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Dribble, dribble, dribble....pass backwards. Dribble, dribble, dribble...pass to the other team. He also set Thiago Silva up for failure by making a rubbish, bubbling pass to him when he's about to pressed. Can't score, can't create and certainly can't defend. Not really sure wtf this guy is meant to be doing. Kovacic and Jorginho cost us 100m+ and they have taken us backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kovacic does what he does, bring the ball forward, break the press and ease the transition. He also did so yesterday no shame in that. Silva had plenty of time to control the pass. He should have calculated the surface correctly but miscontrolled it Beigl, Stats, killer1257 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also did so yesterday no shame in that. Silva had plenty of time to control the pass. He should have calculated the surface correctly but miscontrolled itYeh his job is to get it the ball from the back four to the front four, or the fullbacks as options. Silva had some good forward passed to the strikers yesterday and kova got the ball forward. Sure kova won't make something out of nothing, that burden will improve when ziyech drops deeper and pulisic moves about. Chilwell will be out most useful fb in dragging the ball forward imo. The rest are are similar on the ball, including James. Kova will get the ball from A to B and make it it difficult to stop him in the process Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, we've won 6-1 in the minutes played without Kovacic this season in the league and have lost 5-0 in the minutes he has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and we lost just one out of 9 league games without Kanté last season. The season before we went on a run of losing one in 13 with Alonso and 6 our of 9 without him.

killer1257 3,282 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Mount played alongside Kante at Brighton??? All I remember was that Alonso and Mount there trying to defend Lamptey, but they looked clueless. If he can't defend as a left winger, why should it chance as a no. 6?

If he wants to play alongside Kante, he will have to defend these situations, in which Lamptey made him look clueless, all the time. I am just talking about his defending skills. Yes, he would play better in the offensive phase if he plays as a midfielderDefending situations near the box and in the box is something a no. 6 has to do all the time and Mount should improve that. Question is what happens when Rice comes. Gesendet von meinem VOG-L29 mit Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0007 511 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I realky hope Frank doesn't freeze him out of the squad.He is the only midfielder that can drible out of press and the only one to paas between the lines. 1chelsea, Stats and bohops 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Am I the only one who gets frustrated when watching Kovacic? Unlike Jorginho, it feels Kovacic can do so much more with his talent and technical ability but he becomes so timid and almost plays within himself when we need someone to be decisive in that midfield.

He was begging for a pass from Azpi when he was open in the middle right at the edge of box, and Azpi passed it to their keeper per the usual. Probably could have scored from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I'm mistaken I'm pretty sure it was Kova - he also gave a lot of attitude to Azpi for not passing and Werner doesn't do that as he's new... I think it was either near the end of the first half or near the beginning of second. 0007 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
