what the fuckery is up with that shit?????

He was scared to play forward as if Mudryk loses it trying to win he would have to defend and he can’t defend. Not fit to wear the shirt, end of

Yeah, player performing good or bad is one thing, but wtf is that? If it's some personal drama, it's sabotaging the team and deserves being sent to the stands for rest of season. If he was scared to pass forward, he needs some individual care in the training surely.

Chelsea becoming worse version of PSG starlets friction house is one of my major fears during all transfer windows so I hope Potter or whoever else has some guts to step in asap (he didn't during the game tough, so who am I kidding?)

Brighton managed to fuck us like no club ever fucked us before, Potter ruined our season and Cucurella is beyond any help, the only saving grace was we didn't panic and get Caicedo for 90M would've been the last straw.

Leicester likely fucked us hard with Fofana as well, for even more money, unless he recovers 100%

they fucked over Manure with slabhead for damn near the same amount (actually more on the t fee)

I think you might actually be on to something here. It may seem he is avoiding any situation where he may have to defend because he simply isn't very good at it.

What the fuck is going on? Dressing room problems? Because this is pure shittery from Cucu. 
 
 

Not gonna lie about 50-60% of those clips I am not surprised he doesn’t pass it to Mudryk who is basically man marked by their wingback/fullback within touching distance and his body in a position where he cannot really isolate the player without taking extra touches. Seems vastly overanalysed but also then how many other players don’t make those passes to players? Nothing new. The ones where Mudryk has a yard or two yeah I understand the frustration but not going to make it out to be a big deal. Maybe it was also a tactical thing to try play more through the middle? We’ve seen it before with Di Matteo with Mata Hazard and Oscar coming in really really narrow and going to focus on the play going centrally. Also seen it with Sarri playing through Jorginho.

Wasn't this guy bought for wingback?

If i vaguely remembered the games he played as wingback he did good. 

Maybe that is his only good position? Because everything else he is not good....altough I did mentioned trying him in DM to take over Kante position. I would like to see if that works.

I played left back for a few years growing up and on the ball, so long as your body position is right, it shouldn't be as difficult as it looks at the moment for Cucurella.

I understand when confidence is shot you just want to be safe, but the way he is receiving the ball a lot of the time, he's closing the angle to play forward in order to add some protection over the ball. He's not trusting himself and his technique to open up his body against an opponent pressing him. 

Opens up his body, he creates a third angle to pass the ball (i.e. Mudryk). You do that a couple of times to beat the opponents press, it puts the onus on them suddenly to adapt. At present the way he is receiving the ball is naturally closing off the Mudryk option and the only choice is back to the centre back or sideways to the centre mid. It leaves us completely toothless on one side of the pitch.

Even though he's clearly nowhere near fit at the moment, Chilwell has that natural instinct to open his body up and look forward as an option. Hopefully he gets up to speed soon because he's a much better fit for Mudryk. Not just finding him, but a willingness to push forward himself and create space and options for Mudryk higher up the pitch.

Guy needs to learn to pass forward

Cucurella is the heir to David Luiz. 😍

Possibly. He was very good there. However, there have been some hints recently that he has had personal problems off the pitch. So, some of his form/confidence could be down to that also.

Shows Cucu is not only an average player but also struggles with concisely conveying information as well as fkin googling a players name.

useless wanker, waste of 60 million 😡

[Magic Lamps 11,668]

No one is gonna take him cos we needlessly have him one of the biggest contracts for a defender in football history 

[Dan Lee 47]

Whoever recruited this guy should be fired!
