Hey pythag, I really liked the way you were analysing his inside 10 like runs rather than the lw gittens type of runs. Keep it up. Would like to see more of it in future
Please bro when are we getting the one of Estevao?

Top analysis as always, best channel on YouTube
I'm sorry but Bruno's long ball success rate is insane given how many times he attempts one.
Awesome work again from pytha subscribed at 10k and now almost at 150k.simons in the LHS and palmer in the RHS with gittens and james(more fit now)/gusto hanging on the touchlines and pedro as a roaming 9 could be the best balance for chelsea.
You, with Football Made Simple, are the best football analystics I have listened to
Love it, wish we had signed an overlapping LB over hato but it is what it is.
Palmer is Ice and Xavi simon is Fire, Chelsea is going kill every team this season, and collect trophies…..the Song of Ice & Fire 🥶🥵💀
The 2nd Chelsea option is not really the 2 attacking FBs but rather 1 on the left and Palmer starting as a 10 (as he played all of last season)!
Can you do an updated video on Estevao?
how do you see hato lb overlapping and simons lw / 10
As a Chelsea fan, I think he would start as the backup to Enzo and be ideal for that left 8/10 role. Definitely won’t be the left winger because as you pointed out, Cucurella isnt the best at covering large distances.
Pls do a sesko video🙏 pls😩😭
Imagine… Xavi, Palmer, Pedro and Estevao all capable of changing positions with each other. Incredibly technical players. Who does the opposition give extra attention to? Throw in Gusto and Enzo with third man runs.
Will there be a video about Estêvão?
Nice in-depth 👍🏼
Quality since day one, I will keep supporting to this channel. Looking forward to the Sesko part 2, keep up the good work brother!!!!
The second lineup you showed would probably be against bigger sides as Enzo has played like that a couple of times against city and they were harder to beat
James “in his prime” bros 25😭😭😭
If he plays at the wing, it maybe gonna look a lot like arsenal with giroud, arshavin, rosicky, nasri and fabregas
It was forgotten to speak about when we play against a back 5. We use six attacking players. 4 rest players. The rest of your analyst was really enjoyable.
I wish you had compared him to Musiala as well
It doesn’t sound like a problem of decision making but the technique and timing
Marco Rose was a terrible coach who let down a lot of talent on his team
Make a new sesko video bro
