LionOfGosforth Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 This is a tactical mess of Conte's making plus Chelsea have played really well and should have scored more. Have to think their intensity will drop eventually and Spurs could sneak back into this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Some good options on the bench for Spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I don't think Spurs have been so bad, it's more a case of Chelsea being so good. They've pinned Spurs back and not allowed them out. The defending for the goal was shite but for me that looked a tactical issue more than a gameplay issue. Still in the tie though, should be an interesting 2nd half.

They should be going toe to toe with this Chelsea team at the very least, with the players they have. They've been completely outclassed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroblack Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I like Sterling in this team. He was treated like a peripheral player even when he played a full season under Pep. Now he’s looking like the man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I was baffled by the signing at £60 million. Genuinely wondered if they would be switching to a back 4 to fit him in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, lately it's been Neymar up top with Vini and Raphinha on each side and Paqueta right behind (playing as a 9 at times with Neymar falling deep to create) and do think it will remain that way unless Gabriel Jesus absolutely balls out coming two months.

They'll need to rotate, and the way their RWB keeps being shit the whole bunch might end up with Kulusevski moved there. They do need Richarlison today though, they look toothless upfront at the moment. Kane is basically a central midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionOfGosforth Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I hate that for Chelsea it's basically business as usual. After all the Abramovich stuff, they looked like they might implode as a club. Instead they've gone out and spent a fortune and can apparently spend more and they look quality. Depressing.

Ah, right. Interesting. Thought Richarlison had been playing as your lead striker for some reason. Jesus is looking a great fit at Arsenal, think if he stays fit he probably makes that position his own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus is looking a great fit at Arsenal, think if he stays fit he probably makes that position his own. Richarlison was out with injury and ended up losing his place. He's not talented enough to start for Brazil imo, but he does offer unbelievable work rate and that opens up space against tired legs. I'm not sure Jesus will start even if he keeps scoring. Same way I don't expect Bruno to start. Tite is quite rigid in that sense. However, just having players such as Jesus, Richarlison, Rodrygo, Cunha, Antony and Martinelli off the bench can be very important for Brazil at the World Cup.

KaKa Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Spurs have gone to a back 4 now, which should be really interesting. Richarlison, Kane, Son and Kulusevski all together should be very dangerous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
