robsblubot 3,595 Posted February 5, 2024 Share Posted February 5, 2024 We are the heavy underdogs against Aston Villa.... 😢 3atb might help accommodate Chilwell and Silva (for diff reasons). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We toyed with them at the Bridge for most of the last game. We're an utter shambles while they are regaining form. I wouldn't play Chilwell, if Colwill is back (play him centrally).

I personally wouldn't have him anywhere near LB, as he just doesn't have the awareness, which has been evident for all to see. Gusto at LB and Diasi at RB are probably our best options for FB's right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gusto at LB and Diasi at RB are probably our best options for FB's right now. not a fan. Disasi isn't good enough anywhere for me, and that's why I think Colwill should be LB: no-one better at LB w/ 4atb and we can go with Silva and Badiashile at CB for the time being. Yes, we should be getting a proper LB so that Colwill can play CB, given that Cuccu has flopped, but I'm talking about best starting XI for me. 41 minutes ago, NikkiCFC said: Chilwell become big liability in 4 atb. agreed and why Poch used him in attack. I have a hard time criticizing managers when they try to field the best players even if employing them out of their original position. Say Poch gets sacked. The next manager will know, from video and staff, what experiments worked and which didn't. Edited February 5, 2024 by robsblubot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KEVINAA 129 Posted February 7, 2024 Share Posted February 7, 2024 (edited) The way things are going for us. Chelsea will be a league 2 team in season of 2026/2027. The UK government did dirty deals to clean house of house by making sure everything who was Chelsea under Roman Abramovich reign must be removed. The fines and points deduction at the end of this season will put us back to 5 years of extra hardship. Edited February 7, 2024 by KEVINAA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have been crying about 3atb for years but the problem is, it is actually our best suited formation. If I were Poch th line-up would be: Petro Badi Silva Colwill Gusto Enzo Gallagher Chillwell Madueke Jackson Palmer No more Caicedo and Sterling please. If I see anymore of them I am likely to put my foot through the screen. Edited February 7, 2024 by King Kante bigbluewillie and lucio 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not my favourite but it’s ideal for a weaker squad with less technical players. surely you’d play Nkunku tho ?? King Kante 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
