Chelsea 2-0 Newcastle United - 15/02/21 - post match pg16 and on


Recommended Posts

This formation has been well and truly found out tonight by the way. Gayle up on his own against Rüdiger, while Werner and Alonso has free reign against Krafth.

Feel like it just won't work against a 3 man defence. Bruce being Bruce just won't change a winning team, but wonder if Jones thought this would be the way to go as well.

 

Definitely a tough ask setting up this way against a 3-4-2-1 for sure.

 

Only made all the more ridiculous by having Shelvey in there ambling about hopelessly.

Every team or player if they desperately need a goal or on a run without one they always seem to get it against us. Funny that.

Pretty sure people said that about Ings all game last week, and that every bottom half team thinks it's just them.

Gayle surely isn't getting blamed for that Werner goal?

 

It's Lewis who is daydreaming

 

& Darlow who is spinning around like he's on the waltzer at the Hoppings or some shit.

 

Time to drop him and bring the bossman back in  O0

The point of the formation is to have our mak striker/target man going up against their full back in the attacking build up. That doesn't happen against a three man defence, as its another CB that also has the backing of a wing back.

Yeah, I agree. Especially when it's Gayle. Wilson would have still made a fist of it, but Gayle, no chance.
