closed Wolves 2-1 Chelsea

[gdlk 272]

Lampard playstyle is simple - 3 ppl in triangle on wings and endless crosses.. No play in the middle. Havertz and Mount dont have 1 pass between them

[manpe 10,861]

I think teams have clocked how we play and they block the wing to make us ineffective. If we can't use the wing, then we're almost useless.

I suggest everyone to watch the game carefully and check how many times we actually play combination football in the middle. You'll be shocked, because all we do is pass to the wing and hope someone puts a good cross in.

Yes, it's pretty apparent we are counting on crosses, especially with Giroud on. Maybe taking him off would encourage them to attempt something different than crosses. Hope to see Tammy and Kovavic on soon for Giroud and Havertz (he's being abysmal atm).

Our pressing is clearly improving but we are creating nothing from open play. Literally nothing for a second game in a row.We are not even trying to play through the middle.Overcrowding flanks is a good strategion but in our case only leads to crosses.Werner is practically out of the game. 

Kante is back to his beast mode!

 

PS There is no need to single out Havertz. He is a weak link so far but we all hope that he will come good. I don't think pointing fingers at him would help.

I guess Havertz needs a loan lol

Werner's main strengths are completely taken away and ignored.

I'd send him back to Germany to Dortmund and take Sancho if he still has a big name back in the good old homeland

Werner is a Dothrakian bloodrider. His strength is in open field not storming walls.

Havertz has been invisible for the most part again. He needs to be subbed at HT and dropped.

Werner has been invisible. Kai has been poor.

You look at how Son plays at Spuds. Very similar skill set as Timo. Why does it seem like whenever Son receives the ball he is in acres of space to run into and get shots away whilst Werner never does? Is it due to teams being terrified of Kane in the middle and are drawn to him? 

I just don't get it. Why are we struggling so badly to involve him?

I don't like pointing out individuals when every offensive player is bad. All 5 of them, it was the same against Everton. 

Doesn't change the fact that he has been bad again. At times, it feels like we're operating with 10 men. In fact, it's hard to think of a game or even a period during a game where Havertz has excelled (and no, that League Cup game against Barnsley doesn't count).

The crosses are one thing but I don't even know why we're putting high crosses in for the likes of Pulisic and Werner to win in the air!

Different styles. We have the ball most of the time while Tottenham are willing to give it away and that gives Son a lot of space to operate in. 

[Jase 43,479]

On top of all the problems with players, we also didn't play with any kind of tempo or intensity. Everything was just bloody slow and pedestrian. Barely making space for players to operate in.

You cant survive when you only go crosses, this is baffling by FL. Mix the shit up and ask different questions ffs.

[OneMoSalah 8,778]

Is this Chelsea or Arsenal? Bar crossing we are doing nothing in terms of creativity. 
 

Just as I say that we score from a cross.
