Absolute story of our season against every small team we’ve played. Carbon copy tactic from every one because they all know it works. And it’s the most basic tactic any manager can implement with minimal effort. 

Park the double decker, slow our attack to a crawl, and make the match an almost unwatchable shitfest. Then on the rare occasions they get the ball it’s random heaves up the pitch or long throws. 

And yet the manager of Chelsea Football Club who has witnessed this SAME EXACT TACTIC about 5 times this season in the PL has found absolutely ZERO way to counter it or get through to the players on how to deal with it. 

The blueprint is set. Sit deep and run around a lot and you beat Chelsea. Simple as that. We have no ideas, no spark, and no intensity against this setup.

Nail on the head!

I've always found this pep style of football extremely boring. 

May it die quick and the old school premier league expansive quick physical game return.

This is just tiring to watch and be a part of.

I think this is the type of game where we need to win 1-0.

The problem is that we don't have a good defense for that and the board have not done much in this department. 

If we want to improve like arsenal then we need to focus on defense. If not we will continue having these type of games. 

And if we want to improve the defense, we should stop giving chances to weak shit like Tosin. 

Gave his attacker so much space and time to setup an attack. 

He keeps backing off attackers every time.

Was same last season also. And the season under Poch.

Maresca is one dimensional and not the answer. Not sure what else folk expect.

Also when your relying on inconsistent players like Garnacho, Gittens, Neto even…. These so called great attacking signings who are hit and miss. What do folk expect ?

They are good just that not every week they can be on fire, these are the types of games where defense wins you the game. 

Garnacho scored a goal and he is improving like Gittens. 

We just need to focus on the defensive side the next transfers windows. Weather the club will do that it's another story

For example how is it possible we didn't go for Hincapié where he is sitting in arsenal bench. 

He would have been more useful to us then Tosin.

It's a numbers game for these guys, the directors and the recruitment team.

Despite the lack of quality on the bench, they will still come back and say they have a gazillion CBs in the squad.

Apart from the crazy fee they paid for Fofana, and the insane wages on Koulibaly., they have nickeled and dimed their way towards getting CBs for this squad.

Tosin was one of their laziest acquisitions. Bought only because of his Man City connection, and because he was free.

this is a mix problem between maresca indaptation and board approach of the market

We all know that we are done with this board

How much have Sunderland spent?

Bournemouth?

Palace? 
 

a top manager doesn’t need money

Liverpool spent way more. Look at their state

Signing kids and ignoring key positions is not on the manager when we all know the set up at the club is owners make these decisions. Manager was clear about the need for a CB too but was ignored

It’s his tactics and substitutions every week,

 

as I said, look at Bournemouth palace Sunderland

 

all managers with a tiny percentage of our budget completely more competent than him!

 

he has one plan and no clue when it comes to a low block, you’d think he’d learn that these tactics aren’t working. Steve wonder can see that. 

[Johnnyeye 7,539]

couldn’t follow the game, i came to check the result and i see another home loss, wtf happened?

[Mário César 1,359]

we all saw that marc was not good enough as center forward and needed to be sub at half time. how the fuck maresca dont saw that?

[Johnnyeye 7,539]

this lot is a joke and Maresca can fuck off

Just basically Maresca having zero idea how to play against a low block, then a brain dead substitute taking off Josh who was our best defender and putting Tosin on who cost us the game (again)

Achempong was playing well in CB

But manager decided to go back to his favorite CB pairing of Tosin and Chalobah for the last 15 mins of the game. And they came up with a clownshow in the last few mins of the game.

Also., in the 2nd half Sunderland played a low block and we didn't do much.

That last part we can hopefully improve if Delap comes back fit. He might be needed to break down stubborn defenses.

[Milan 17,991]

Lol we are behind Man United, incredible. A new low.

[MoroccanBlue 5,392]

Glad I stopped giving a shit and hardly watch matches anymore. Heard it was another shit show. 
 

Wont invest any interest until the directors and Maresca are both gone.

I’m very close to doing the same. I just love Chelsea too much to have stopped watching already. Nothing else to do on a weekend either .

Maresca admitting Pedro, Caicedo, Enzo are all carrying injuries. 

The lack of a summer break has caught up with this squad on top of the obvious issues
