Reece James in midfield? Because Cucurella would be spun around in that position
Thank you for aaying enzo is better closer to the box instead of having him behind the half way line pinging passes like a cb
Enzo Fernandez was OP for Argentina in World cup
This system needs strong and fast Defenders, which our team don't have 😢….
And Jackson not getting started will help the team a lot
Pochettino started to make the team good, what he really needed at the end was a haircut
Another pep wannabe, Poch was starting to get his things right and the players loved him and started to implement his tactics well at the end of the season, not to mention all the injuries the team had and having a terrible striker like Jackson, sackning Poch tells us that the sanctions on Abramovic was the biggest Injustice done to a team In the premier league, the new owners have no clue.
sacked in december
and in a years time we'll be watching another one of these videos for Chelsea's NEXT coach
Chelsea showing some dignity
How will Chelsea play under maresca?
Poor… They will play poor under maresca
Enzo Fernandez is NOT better closer to the box, where did you get that from? Poch played him as a 10 this season and he was complete shite
Maresca is shite tho bottled a 17 point lead in the Championship so there was a title fight
I swear Chelsea fans will say City's backup is Chelsea's man
It used to be Pep tiki taka vs Wengerball vs Conte back 3 vs Mourinho pragmatism vs Poch attack
Now it's Pep and his second rate clones
thing is, are Chelsea willing to wait for a few seasons before getting results? because this chelsea side will need development .
.
bad
I swear everybody's playing a box midfield currently
Everyones copyinh peps tactics ah
Lol so it’s a 433 variation or a 433 variation that changes into a 343 variation..
Another pep lacky. This league is getting boring and mundane everyday.
Do a full video on this. Would be cool to have an in-depth breakdown like Slot/Liverpool
Poch literally did this last preseason and started doing it again in the last couple months lol. What a joke to push him out
Its English Baldy league 😂😂
It will probably be the same as Poch's season because his sacking kinda just destroyed the foundation they had there. I don't see Maresca turning it around like Poch did since Poch is a much more proven coach, especially with a youthful side that has a ton of potential.
His board is crazy.
Cole palmer plays on the right. I swear no one actually watches Chelsea. Stupid analysis.
Oh and enzo, better near the box?! No! He suits playing deeper and linking play in the midfield.
This is awful awful unresearched waffle
Love the dignity t-shirt!
I previously said he'd be sacked by December 4th. Now he's said he trusts Robert Sanchez, I'm starting to think my prediction was too late…
Horrendous
todd boehly thought bro was actually pep 😭
My Dream Team for 24/25 :
Valles/Petrovic
Reece-Tosin-Badiashile-Colwill
Enzo
Palmer-Caicedo
Olise/Madueke—Nkunku
Sesko/Jackson
Don’t get why people keep saying enzo is better nearer the goal. He did that a bit this season and was completely nullified.
Imagine if we improve 30%.
This players are still young man 😮😮
I believe Jackson will come better too
Yo cardiff, any luck with finding Patrice O'neal and stuttering john on tough crowd?
NOOO CHELSEA WERE SO FUN TO WATCH NOT ANOTHER PEP CLONE
Noise maker…. Potter?
Guess I'll have to skip the first 3/4 of the season AGAIN 😢
