Sportsweb: I still had Douglas Luiz and Mbeumo. My bench was weak and i spent less on defenders and GKs. It worked some weeks and backfired in other weeks. |

timbros:You're quite right but our more pressing need at the moment is the attack. Nigeria vs ivory coast should have taught us a lesson. You can't keep defending forever if your attack is nonsense. 1 Like |

Leyqute: My priority is bringing Salah back first. Maybe not Son, but Salah I definitely coming back. And my team value no bad. |

WhoDeyHause: @bolded... That final was an anomaly. Nigeria came into AFCON with a tight defence. And that was their strength till the final. Conceded only 2 goals till final. Shouldn't that have taught you a lesson? Nigeria can score just one goal and that was it. Super Eagles came into the tournament with African Footballer of the Year who is a striker. But who ended up being the player of the tournament? A defender. What are you not talking? Yes, the final backfired terribly, but the tactics all tournament was clear to see and it worked perfectly. Can you say in all honesty that you didn't enjoy Super Eagles games in AFCON? 3 Likes |

timbros:Adingra and Haller didn't play the first game we won against them in the group stage but we saw both of their contributions with 2 assists and a goal when we camped deep in our own half to defend our one goal lead. Nwabali even saved us from total humiliation while ekong our player of the tournament failed to mark kessie and Haller tightly when we were under pressure. If either of Jackson or sterling were sensible before the opener we should have been at least 2 nil up before then setting up to defend for our lives. I don't know which one is better cause truly some other teams have successfully defended their ways to major tournaments especially us in our two ucl wins but as far as im concerned our attack is more of a problem than our defence at the moment, even disasi we have been blaming since put in a man of the match display. |

WhoDeyHause: Like I said, the final backfired terribly. It can happen to any team. We have seen ultra attacking teams fail completely in certain matches. Nigeria played 7 matches in AFCON. You have complain in just one of them, does that make the tactics all tournament rubbish? |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by airmark(m): 2:49pm On Feb 20 |
WhoDeyHause: If Nigeria had won that Nation's cup, we would have read tons of epistles, justifying why defence always wins you the titles. Football has evolved. If you like park trailer, opposition will later map out strategy to break you. Inter had a solid defence, but still bowed to City in the Ucl final last year. You need to have a dangerous striker that will occupy your opponents' CBs, and your other attackers will have pockets of space to exploit. When the opponents understand that your attackers are wastepipes in front of goal, you are at a huge numerical disadvantage, up against a quality side. Get quality attackers, while your defence is decent, your opponents will be begging for a draw. Barca showed this with makeshift Mascherano as CB and below average Valdes, smiling and doing little work because Messi was wrecking havoc upfront. In fact, Barcelona won another Ucl with Yaya Toure as CB in the final. It was that soft because they knew their attack was destructive. 5 Likes 1 Share |

raumdeuter: The team that outscore the other win the match and the Ivoiriens outscored us. The major difference between the Cote D'Ivoire team that lost in the group stage to us and the one that defeated us, was in their attack. Fae was smart enough unlike you, to detect the major problem and he fixed the attack and boom, they won the Nation's cup. Learn and rest.

timbros:I think 2 CF and one Lw or RW. Jackson is never a CF and Nkunku isn't one. As for CB, there's Badiashile, Colwill, Disasi, Chaloba. A coach with good system will get the best out of these four. Colwill and Badiashile mostly have shown good quality here while Disasi and Chaloba won't be bad as sub (this is me neglecting Dr Fofana) Even though I know a good coach might get the best out of the attackers but what Chelsea needs now is a very good EXPERIENCED attacker and a very Good CF to lift this team up. The likes of Mudryk, Madueke, Jackson and co po lack top flight experience and it's showing, if they don't sit up as possible wing deputy, then they need to be sold cos dem no deh show consistency Midfield is already sorted so no need even talking about Midfield in terms of balance. In summary, getting 2 quality CF (one Standard and one who can come from bench), and a quality LW/RW (a Neto kinda player without injury) will make this team balanced. 1 Like 1 Share |
