martyn Posted 28 June 2020 Posted 28 June 2020 (edited) Encouraged by that half. Finally back to setting the tempo with our pressing which feels like has been missing for ages and some decent fluidity to the play at times. Midfield 3 (ndidi monstrous) have been impressive. Need Vardy to up his game, he looks sorely lacking in sharpness. Even if not scoring he is much better in his hold up play and general contribution than this. Edited 28 June 2020 by martyn
st albans fox Posted 28 June 2020 Posted 28 June 2020 Only 44% possession ........Brendan will be livid here come the Chelsea changes !
The People's Hero Posted 28 June 2020 Posted 28 June 2020 Soyuncu very likely to see red if he puts a single foot out of place. Mike Dean show. 1
Chrysalis Posted 28 June 2020 Posted 28 June 2020 Just now, adam said: Of course he does. Even if he didnt he should no it's more than 1 minute considering we stood about having a drink for 2 minutes. Yeah that was odd, usually refs wait for the ball to hit a neutral area of the pitch, and of course as you said what about the drink break.

coolhandfox Posted 28 June 2020 Posted 28 June 2020 Difference in squads looking at 3 subs coming on....

Dr The Singh Posted 28 June 2020 Posted 28 June 2020 Chelsea have a great bench, the 5 subs really does help em

I thought BT usually had two co-commentators to provide balance. The same old big club bias... Hoddle should be self-isolating on Mars tbf. 1
Pliskin Posted 28 June 2020 Posted 28 June 2020 If we play 4-3-3, Madders could potentially play as one of the three forwards. So it will be interesting to see how this pans out!
vanity Posted 28 June 2020 Posted 28 June 2020 Can I just ask, is there something schematic with what Rodgers wants where we deliberately do not quickly return passes? What I mean is, say we are passing around the opponent's box, Praet passes to Justin on the right, then Justin tidily sends an immediate pass back to Praet. Remedial, I know, but BC we never do it, it means that defenses can overcommit to our attackers without fear of being caught out. To my thinking, it makes our players' lives more difficult. I was taught to do this as a youth to force defenders to give us more room and to partially neutralize teams adept at hunting in packs. We look so toothless with everything but the break right right now, I suppose I am wondering why we don't seem to use much deception. Is there a reason Rodgers' scheme doesn't really feature much deception? Even bringing a trailing attacker into the box when we are pressing the attack, Chelsea does it beautifully,m it is just a habitual option to offer for their players, we don't really feature that. Just odd to me. Especially since we are clueless with how to score unless we are on the break right now.

Lambert09 Posted 28 June 2020 Posted 28 June 2020 Why are people having a pop at Barnes. He’s creating all of of our opportunities with his pace. Yes he’s rusty but the chances wouldn’t exist without him. Let’s get him sharp for the Everton game 1

Surely its not just a number he plucks from thin air? Edited 28 June 2020 by hejammy

TazzerFox Posted 28 June 2020 Posted 28 June 2020 We are so so wasteful in the final third, Its so frustrating to watch.
