Michael ballack knows what's up

The question is, how long can they sustain the intensity of this press? Quarter season? Half season? Full season?

Did TT experiment with 3-4-3 or has the formation come to stay? TT is known as a 4-3-3 coach right from his Mainz days. I don't understand the 3 at the back today.

Only time will tell. Let's watch and see.

The 3-4-3 is due to lack of a reliable DM. 3-4-3 provides more protection if you're not sure of your DM.

I like the fact he did that, it shows flexibility. Something Lampard did last season but refused to do this season when things weren't going well.

We really need a top striker.

User09:
Fun Fact - Both Ziyech and Kai played as a 10 but all the negative comments is directed at Kai despite having a better performance.

Were you watching the back of your TV? Gerrarahia mehn.

NextD18:

None

The way he turns is like he doesn't know which foot to use and he appears unsteady. Make them find African swallow for the guy. E be like say na pasta and vegetables only he dey chop.

#Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich was prepared to pay £62M for Kai Havertz because he could not stomach the thought of the talented midfielder going on to become a world star elsewhere.

[via @Matt_Law_DT]

Another Torres. Roman pet.

iamJ:

He wasn't as bad as some are painting him to be. Not very good, but not bad either.

The issue with YOU is that this stat you just posted to cut Havertz some slack is usually synonymous with Mount, whom you always drag to the high heavens.

So if it were Mount, your no.1 enemy, would you be praising him the same way?

Decent performance from Havertz. CHO had an impressive game.

Lol.

Have you ever lost an argument. In your own opinion of course

I don't understand people here. is it the desperation for Havertz to perform that is leading to all this opata yarns? Apart from that square ball for the Chiwell chance, man did absolutely nothing.

By the way, Thiago Silva is still class.
Pure class

Someone clone that Mofo.

Havertz played a decent game, Odoi was superb, Rudiger na still Rudiger, Ziyech was tripple marked and he was still able to influence the game in some way, Chillwell failed to bring his scoring boots.

I cant believe this.

I never say things I'm not sure of

But na wa oh,some of una just get unnatural hatred for havertz,the most Chelsea came to scoring,chillwell and havertz late header came from the guy,meanwhile chillwell was a waste,giroud off pace,ziyech another rubbish,yet na havertz una dey drag

It's obvious, you didn't watch the match cos if you actually did, you would not say Ziyech played rubbish.
Why won't Havertz gets the blame?
Just cite one genuine reason backed up with fact how he outshone other players half of his transfer fee tonight.

75m buy, your achievement Na to create rubbish for Chillwell.


Reasonable people know when to hide in shame, but you see Fraudvertz fanboys? They don't have shame.

Mount will mark ball and run around, Fraudvertz miscreants will troll him and call him flop, but here they are, bragging with distance covered.


Imagine bragging with what you trolled someone for.

Tuchel vary his formations and is not known for sticking to one particular formation, he used 3 at the back while he was at PSG and Dortmund. If Kovacic and Jorginho stays fit they will fit perfectly against teams who will sit back, I wouldn't like Kante to pair with either of them in a two-man midfield it will be too sterile. Against teams who are likely to come at us a midfield 3 of Jorginho, Kovacic and Kante will be good for a start

Distance covered.

Has it gotten to this extent?

Ibime:


Except he didn't even run well

Maybe the guy might function well as an SS. The guy seems to like playing 1-2 with the infield player. Several times I saw him play the ball back and make a run on the blindside of the last defender. The only problem is, he isn't mobile enough to make the run count and Chiwell was poor with the through balls.

Havertz wasn't bad as you guys are making it look lol. Only If Chilwell converted that chance

Mount over Kai kai anyday , that hediot is an Assnal type of player not our own ...
He better start assisting and scoring for me to change my mind , for now e no sabi play ball reach Kabiru for my Area ... kai kai

BikeMan:
Hard fought but not our day. Phew!

Na because say na Tuchel, we all know if it was Frank you would have complain

User09:


Lol.

That's a fact and not his opinion. Lampard rolled out his team in a 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1 and 3-4-3 last season. The history pages are there for you to skim through.

His biggest achievement Na to cover distance against a team that parked the bus.

@ Ibime on a serious note, We played 3-4-3 with Two No.10s ( Kai and Ziyech).

U could easily have missed it if u weren't paying attention

Or maybe all your attention was on Fraudvertz...lol

Griffon:


Are you deluded?

Watch closely, Fraudvertz fanboys are trying their best to drag Chillwell.

Not Mount again, not Lampard, not Covid, not Peak and age, Na Chillwell now.

This is not true

And that lone assist was going to disparage the fact that he had yet another stinker? How una dey take see this life sef?
