timbros: Ridiculous!! Essien only played comfortably as a CM. Azpi played LB because Filipe Luis decided to be unfortunate but how does Azpi compare against other renowned LBs? Azpi playing LB posed an inherent structural problem no matter how you want to see it... James Milner became a confused player when he become too poor to lock down a specific position for himself. Being a make-shift player is not what any serious player should be looking out for |

swiz123: Spinazzola is a left sided player. If TT decides to play 433, do you know that James is the only RB we have right now? Azpi is becoming slow for the RB position. That is where Kounde's versatility comes in. TT is the coach. He knows why he wants which players. |

OVA200: Silva is at least 6 ft tall; Kounde is shorter by at least a 4 inches... My problem is, who is he coming to replace outrightly and is that position currently lacking in personnel |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by timbros(m): 8:52am On Jul 29, 2021 |
swiz123: Essien played DM, CM, and RB comfortably for us. I don't know if you watched him play for us because if you do, you won't say he played comfortably ONLY in CM. The reason why Azpi changed positions is not the issue. The issue is, did he perform well in those positions? Bro, I don't have time for this right now please. Believe what you feel like. You have the right. Versatility is an advantage not crap. 9 Likes 1 Share |

swiz123: Oh you wanted Hakimi, na you don talk where your wahala with Kounde's signing comes from But don't you think Cesar is a good full back and though he is growing old, 32-33, he still has two more seasons going forward and we still have Sterling, Livramento. It is still in this thread where people were posting Cesar is better than James in RWB |

swiz123:Silva is not tall for a CB; and Kounde is just 2 inches shorter. Silva is 6ft 0in Kounde is 5ft 10in. If TT stick with the 3 at the back then he is coming for RCB or CB. Is it until we are lacking at a position that it should be strengthen? Azpi will be 32 comes season start; Silva is 37 and probably going after season ends; Rudiger and Christensen have a year left on their contract; That's 4 CBs aging or with uncertain future. |

BlueAngel444: Nawaoo... 343 doesn't have an outright winger.. if anything the RWB is the winger. Lampard used Havertz as a pure winger in a 433 like he is Robben. As a right sided 8 (CAM), he is expected to track runners back to avoid overloads, instead of focusing on finding spaces. He is playing in a different position now compared to Lampard's time |

BlueAngel444:I'm not overthinking or imagining anything. I'm just perplexed that you still ask those questions after I explained everything about the situation. You too don begin vex? Oya sorry. Back to the discuss: Kounde is a young, decent CB who I believe can develop to world class. While zouma is average CB and who I don't think can be world class considering what he lacks and his age. 1 Like |

timbros: Essien was more efficient as a box to box midfielder but I must agree he can play DM too. But you see that CB and RB, they are crap. Ask yourself how Essien would compare to other great CBs and RBs if Chelsea chose to keep him at that position permanently Essien wasn't signed because of those positions even though we were grateful he could put in a reasonable performance there. Now, my arguement is, signing a player because he is versatile is nonsense. You sign a top player to come and replace someone straight away at the position he is the best at. No player can play all many positions equally well. |

swiz123:If i may ask, which position do you think Kai Havertz should play in a 433 formation? |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by OVA200(m): 9:16am On Jul 29, 2021 |
swiz123:Nacho Fernandez beg to differ. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by swiz123(m): 9:21am On Jul 29, 2021 |
OVA200: While we suffer a glaring lack in RWB position?? Reason soundly brother... Is Kounde coming to take a position that we lack personnel in? Is our problem conceding goals or scoring goals? I wouldn't bat an eye if he was on the cheap side.... Or if he was being signed because he can replace Silva outrightly.... We are just wasting so much money on a misplaced priority |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by swiz123(m): 9:28am On Jul 29, 2021 |
OVA200: It depends on who he is playing with. He can't play in Midfield with Mount but with a more defensively aware midfielder, he can. When Mount and Havertz were in Midfield, our middle was wider than the latest 10 lanes road Buhari completed in Rivers |

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by BlueMann: 9:33am On Jul 29, 2021 |
swiz123: This may be dependent on tactics tho. As far as PL attackers go, there aren't many that are better or more astute than Mount defensively. This one no be hype; we fit argue e offensive contributions, but we no fit argue that one. So TT can instruct him not to push forward too much, that way he can provide some more defensive cover. |

Fellas, i just added another year , today. Say a prayer for me & thank "The Most High' on my behalf. The past 2years have been really really testing but somehow, i recently found favour in the hands of men. Even when hope was lost, Almighty God has shown me he hasn't forgotten his own. 22 Likes 4 Shares |

swiz123:We are suffering glaringly in RWB? This alone is enough not to reply this. If you are talking about what our priority should be which is a striker then i will understand and you can't say they didn't try in that aspect but saying we didn't need him is false. I told you we may lose 3 of our CB come season end and you did as if that is not a problem. Let me tell that is a big problem because come season end Silva will go and Rudiger and Christensen will hold us to ransom if we table a new deal because they know we are short of CB and giving them contract bigger than normal will still be cheaper than filling the void of 3 CB at a single transfer window. And it's not as If they are outrightly buying him, they're swapping like for like player and getting a better player. Just say you don't like Kounde then I will understand. 1 Like |

swiz123:See twisting on top simple question. So we must use certain set of player before Havertz can fit into 433? What if we don't have that type of player, we should stop playing 433 because of Havertz. Even as creative as de bruyne is they didn't sacrifice the midfield for him. |

timbros: He played DM and CM comfortably but not rightback. Ronaldo washed him in that UCL final in 2008 at RB. Joe Cole actually handled Ronaldo better one on one, but everytime he faced Essien, Essien couldn't anticipate which way he would go. |
