Vesper 30,193 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 We are 6's and 7's at the back. Zouma and Luiz are not a partnership I want to see a lot of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Azpi tossing in crosses and the height simply isn't there. Its a typical pre-season game in terms of sloppy first touches, bad decisions and lack of communication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will lose good 10-15 points in the league due to lack of top striker just like last season Costa19, Atomiswave, Vybz Kartel and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 One good thing Hazard's departure will bring is better collective pressing, as we are seeing today. The pressing and ball retention has been a real plus point although the lack of clear chances is a bit worrying. Michy looks like he's majorly improved in his hold up play but going wait until the real stuff starts for a proper assessment. Mount looks like he's made for a Chelsea shirt, should be starting over Ross for me. Strike, Superblue and communicate 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 27 minutes ago, Costa19 said: Yeah a guy who has been manager for 1 year could do that.. Its not just about that. I mean as somebody who watches the SPL even Neil McCan had Dundee setting up like that to play out but the lack of trust and goos combinations from his players made it difficult to sustain. Positioning players for that style of football is easy maybe at the likes of goal kicks or whatever but coaching them to continously play like that under high pressure and difficult high quality teams is a different level. Everyones got to know where to stand or when to be in a position to relieve pressure off their team mates and know where they are etc to make quick one and 2 touch combinations to break a press. I dont think we struggled getting out of our half last season doing this, which meant Sarri laid the groundwork. Hopefully Frank can maintain this and improve our offensive play. 1905didierblue and !Hazard! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good build up and missed chances? disjointed performance typical preseason we have so many players to sort through the good Bats Pedro Jorginho Mount Barkely was best player on the pitch when he came in Giroud looked dangerous, he is going to be our starter I think, at Manure Kenedy was horrid the first 15, 20, then really came on, nice surprise, should have scored, but ht to their GK Pulisic looked bright, barely played Kovacic same as Kenedy, but not quite the impact Wille looked oki AC Luiz great passing, meh defence Azpi Zappacosta (another surprise, very aggressive, far more dangerous than Azpi, he has been really good his last few games) Emerson the bad Zouma (bad on the ball, didnt play well with Luiz) Alonso (looks as slow as I recall, lol) Drinkwater (he just looks so so rusty) Bakayoko (horrid, will not fit in here, we need to sell him) Palmer (no end product, not horrid, just meh) OneMoSalah, LAM09, !Hazard! and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
