NinjaMetahuman: When you are playing against a team that sits back, you pass around looking for opening to break through. Naturally you will get a large chunk of possession. The reason why shot on target will look similar is because the defending team won't even allow you shoot towards their goal and any counter attack they push will most definitely result in shit on target for them because all your players are high up the pitch attacking. Now tell me, where is TAA and Robertson positioned when Liverpool is "passing around" like you put it? Are they behind with the 'keeper because VVD is not around? Check my reply to airmark and see TAA and Robertson numbers AFTER VVD... |

raumdeuter: Bbbut egbon Dayo. Make we no, lie make we no tiff. Isn’t VVD’s defending in this clip (going in for the tackle with acres of space behind instead of moving back and tracking the striker’s movement) the ideal way to defend according to the gospel of Sir Boatank that you’ve been preaching since 19orogbo? 5 Likes |

TheLequte: It has to do with competence, Ronaldo shoots, Morata shoots, Werner shoot, Messi shoots. How come some are known for scoring and some for missing chances So you see a chance and say every normal striker suppose shoot first, Werner and Morata do that and they still miss, Does it mean that they did the wrong thing or they did the right thing wrong? |

raumdeuter: How does this correlate with lunging into tackles vs cautiously tracking strikers? I’m serious. Not trolling. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by raumdeuter: 3:52pm On Aug 11, 2021 |
TheLequte: Going into such tackle is the right thing not running away from it. VVD execution was terrible doesnt make it the wrong thing to do Just like A striker shooting immediately might be the right thing but Morata/Werner execution being terrible doesnt make it the wrong thing to do |

timbros:you painted a picture of liverpool dominating games but lost to one short on target which I corrected. Their game against mancity that they lost 4-1, they had more possession but mancity had more shots off goal and on goal. Would you say they were trying to break mancity By passing around? And I said having more position could just mean defenders and midfielders passing to each other. Emphasis on could. |

raumdeuter: Actually you’re right about that. VVD’s timing in that clip was wrong. At the same time there are situations where your best bet is to keep the striker at arm’s length. You lunge, you get dribbled and you concede. You delay, other defenders mop the danger away. And in this same situation, if VVD has kept Kane at arm’s length, he’d have prevented that goal because Kane, in trying to get rid of him or get a chance to shoot, would have to slow down and the other defenders would’ve dispossessed him. The koko? Executing an idea the right way is very important. I think VVD is still a very good defender, although I won’t say he’s the best ever. |

Sevilla director Monchi on Chelsea-Koundé deal: “Many clubs have asked for Koundé. Of course there’s interest but no official bid on the table. I don’t know what’s gonna happen, if an important bid arrives, we’ll sell as this is our policy to improve the team” Via @FabrizioRomano |

NinjaMetahuman: Let's try not to digress. I specifically mentioned matches Liverpool lost 1-0 to "lesser" teams. They had a large chunk of possession. Where was TAA and Robertson positioned averagely in such matches? Do they sit back in their own half of the pitch because VVD is not around? Also, was it VVD's absence that made them lose those games 1-0 to Burnley, Brighton, Fulham, Everton (2-0)? Did you see TAA and Robertson outputs AFTER VVD got injured? Honest answers to these questions will tell you exactly what was Liverpool's problem last season. |

timbros:lol So Robertson had 3-goal contributions is 5 games with VVd while Alex had 2. then Roberson had 5-goal contributions and Alex had 6 in 33 games without VVd. Is that correct? Oya Do the math and see which one is better based on trajectory. ![]() 2 Likes |

TheLequte: When you are the last man outside the box, best option is to engage sharply, Every attacker will try to get into the box quickly so that any contact becomes a penalty In that clip the best thing will be to engage Kane and stop or foul him when he is still outside the box backing off means Kane will enter the box get closer to the keeper. The other defenders are already behind Kane so all things being equal will not catch up or have to tackle from behind and get a red As a defender the aim is to quickly engage and resolve the issue before he gets closer to the keeper and enter the box which makes the danger more. The more you wait, the higher the danger |

#Chelsea forward Ike Ugbo is closing in on a €5M move to Genk - the move is expected to be completed in the next week. [via @NizaarKinsella] Antonio Rudiger will weigh up all his options before making a decision on his #Chelsea future - Real Madrid and PSG monitoring situation. [via @SkySports] Lyon have 'started contacts' with #Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko 'in the last few hours' to understand what it would take to sign the Frenchman. [via @DiMarzio] |

timbros:You are the one digressing when the point is clear enough. Already told you, the games Liverpool lost, they could have won if Alex and Robertson were at their best. They were not at their best because VVd was not at the back to give them confidence to go forward and join the attack. And they could have drawn some of the games self if they didn't score. Also they will be less vulnerable to counter attack like 2 seasons ago.. I think You just want to extend the argument for some reason. Me no get strength for long argument o. VVd might not be the best for you, but you people should stop making it look like VVd is some insignificant defender or some gbegbe defender. |

Expecting the first team tonight to be similar to what we've seen in preseason, cos TT said most if the players who arrived late will not start. That rules out Silva, Emerson, Mount, Jorginho, James and Chilwell. I'm not sure about Azpilicueta and Chris, and I don't know if TT will trust Trevor Chalobah. Rudiger and Zouma will definitely start. Alonso and CHO as wingbacks, Kova and Kante in midfield. Ziyech, Havertz and Werner will most likely lead the line - I'd personally start Pulisic over Werner cos Villarreal will likely build a moat in the defence, and Pulisic's dribbling ability will be useful in breaking them down. |

NinjaMetahuman: Trajectory is not the issue here. You said that after VVD injury, the full backs don't go forward again. Stats prove otherwise. They attack, and they score/assist. I keep telling you that Liverpool attack became blunt. If you dig deep, you will probably see that those full backs create chances that the forwards fluff. Does the full backs sit back after VVD injury? No. Stats prove otherwise. |
