Blues11 213 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Kante and Pulisic were strong. Our midfield of Havertz and Mount are providing no creativity. Havertz surely looks like he's struggling to cope with the physicality of the Prem. Even if you're struggling, you can still have that work rate and show like you're interested in the match which he isn't doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supermonkey92 1,428 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 This game should suit havertz down to the ground. He'll have time a space in the middle just outside the edge of the box. He can't make late runs from balls out wide and if he's got the urgency should have a few opportunities to score outside the box Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdlk 286 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 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 Vesper and DANILA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 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).Sent from my Redmi Note 9 Pro using Tapatalk Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0007 511 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 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.

Pizy 18,917 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 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?

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).

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 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. 0007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
