The REAL Reason Maddison Is The BEST Summer Signing. | The Fallout

Very interesting video for football enthusiasts!

How is james not the face for sky sports

What's interesting about your Chelsea right side point is, you said the same about Palace last year with Eze, Olise etc. And it cost Viera his job.

I'm not saying it'll do the same for Poch, but just highlights the need to get the stars on the same hmyn sheet

Great video, you are my favourite analyst. Love how you analyse the player side of the tactics! body language, etc. 😄

Sold Son in fpl before this game… (was to upgrade someone else too, but still hurts…)

what stops Kai Havertz from playing that role?

Poch needs to go back to what worked in pre season. He played a 4231 but players were played in their correct position. I think teams have figured us out already with us being a team that only plays down the right. As much as I love Chilwell, he is not a LW and adds nothing to the team when he plays there.

Awoniyi is one of the most dangerous players in the world right now and I will die on that hill

You are ridiculous with your bias. You are basically Son’s hat trick is because of James Maddison? English bias is just sick. Literally Son was a golden boot winner two seasons ago without penalty.

I do think eventually Chelsea will get the balance right but at the moment, and even though this might sound crazy, Chilwell is the best player to play that left-sided attacker role. He's got the positional acumen and attacking threat but at the end of the day he's simply not an attacker.

However, I will say this – multiple times the midfielders simply ignored really good runs that Chilwell made due to this "bias" you mentioned. I think the two-dimensionality and fluidity will come with time and as the players get to know each other's tendencies and the right player are put in their respective roles, the ball movement should get quicker and more unpredictable.

Ange has amazing coaching qualities

23:55 – Raumdeuter
The word essentially translates to “space investigator”, and is best used to define the German's effective role when exploiting the half-space. A Raumdeuter's main function is to drift infield and find pockets of space in which to thrive

Vincent Kompany rn ✍️🤓

Son had the best one! 👀

Have you ever thought about real football management?

Never thought I would ever say this but Spurs do look promising. They still need to get more players for depth tho

Great stuff James. There is another key feature of Maddison in that goal of Son’s where James makes the second striker sacrifice: Madders knows where Manor is going pass (to Son) and deliberately gets into the goalkeeper’s sight line so he has less time to react. That is next level game thinking.

If you did this much of an in depth into szoboszlai. You'd see why he is the best signing.

It's really fun to see you brits being excited for things we've seen in other countries for decades now. Just as if positional play or high press didn't exist until a team in the premier has done it. Szobosalai positioning for instance is nothing new: Deco, Van Bronkhorst, Ronaldinho… (Or Rakitic, Messi and Alves with Luis Enrique, or even Luis Enrique, Figo and Reiziger). And that's just from Barcelona, you can take any of the plays in the video and find famous players and teams all around doing them consistently years before… (I can think of savio, Raúl and van nistelrooy or Guti or Morientes for instance for the doku play)…
