Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool

Even when you playing a back 4 during preseason he had Chilwell or James playing far forward leaving a back 3 while we were in attack.

It will still be a 3-2-5 in attack I would guess just a different shape in defense. Not sure it’s a big news tbh aside from the personnel on the pitch. If Mudryk is on at least I’d have a constant hope that he’s about to grab the ball and do something. Pretty much the only exciting attacking player on the pitch is NJ, followed by Chilly and Reece.

Yeah but Kepa is the better keeper imo.

I thought Bergstrom looked quite good on tour, you don't reckon him though!

Quotes from Poch shed all the light you need for the surprise selection and formation. Says it’s what he felt was best with the players available today. A clear hint that had we had midfielders in on time there’s no way he’d have picked this team.

People need to stop melting down. This won’t be our normal formation, surely.

Eh, depends on the players in the formation not the formation itself, very good ball playing / attacking CBs out there and we attack in a 3-2-5 when we defend in a 4-2-3-1 so not really sure it’s any more or less ‘cowardly’ but ok

Seems like Poch picked a team based on personel.. it's all good playing a back 4 at pre season, playing a back 4 against Liverpool when your only quality CM is Enzo is dangerous. Enzo is not the fastest guy aswell, seems like once we get our targets in, we would mostly play with a back 4. We're adapting for now.
