Chelsea seem to struggle up here though for whatever reason. Not counting last season due to no fans, they've only won up here once in the last 9 or 10 years. Plus, if a new manager is installed by then the atmosphere will be really good. Edited October 21, 2021 by HaydnNUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Regarding the possession game, it can easily be coached. I appreciate some players will have more natural ability on the ball than others, but even players with Football League ability can be taught how to keep the ball, under a decent coach.

The way people go on about improving our use of the ball as if it's some mystical art form Then again under Bruce it did feel like something that could never be achievable and so I can't even blame them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched a clip of some young wonderboy Breakfast BBC had in the studio this morning and thought "he's not THAT good". Then realised he was only 4. Absolutely held the ball better than Joelinton, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a no for me on them two get in a proper manager like Martinez at Belgium This is really interesting because Lampard and Fonseca have been talked about a whole lot. Really does make me wonder if it's all agent mischief for the pair of them now. In any case I do think Fonseca has a lot of really good qualities and would be a really good appointment, certainly not Lampard though, as I think he'd have a melt down if any criticism came his way and we'd be right back in the Bruce situation again.

The Prophet Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I don't know loads about Fonseca, but reading about his style and philosophy at a high level, it sounds very much like he has similar strengths and weaknesses to Martinez. That said, I can't comment on what Fonseca's sides look like without the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
