Brentford vs Chelsea

Recommended Posts

We finally start playing the ball around quicker AFTER conceding that shit goal. 🙄

Maresca really has to work on the team starting matches with far more intensity and a killer instinct. It’s like we always try to feel our way into a match slowly and it’s biting us in the ass in nearly every match thus far.

These small teams like Palace, Brentford, Fulham WANT you to play slowly and keep everything in front of them. They cannot deal with big teams who play quickly and sharply so this is their tactic. And we have once again played right into their hands. Every side has done this to us this season.

Too many changes. We could have at least started with a fucking right back as we have 3 of them fit. Fofana has no understanding what soever with anybody on the pitch. Facundo is not brave enough, but can be excused as this is his first start for a proper team in the number 10 spot. The Gittens lad has been an abomination. I really hope he can turn it around as he looks proper shit so far…

Tosin is super solid in most circumstances and I really like him as a player but he’s got 2 very unfortunate weaknesses that are especially exposed against small teams like this who play on the counter. 

One is that his recovery pace is abysmal. Play a ball like Henderson just did over his shoulder to a fast attacker and he’s dead. Turns and runs like a giant cruise ship. And the other is that if he’s then isolated 1v1 against a fast attacker he doesn’t have the lateral quickness to deal with it well.

Without starting full backs and no Estevao. Palmer on the bench.

What is Maresca playing at?

I've said all along that, where the squad team was asked to handle some Conference League games last season, this season they will need to be good enough to take care of some EPL fixtures. Enso clearly feels this is one of those games.
