Is there any reason not to play with a lower block in games like those ahead?
First, I’m no tactician (surprise…huh). Just think it would fit players like Veltman and Pervis (maybe Dunk to). They ARE good at defending.
At the other side of the pitch we got pace that a lot of teams in the PL...
You are spot on, there are no such defenders that can turn 180 degrees and still catch random forward. Not even someone from the track and field arena would make it.
As long as it takes - I like him. He seems curious and willing to learn new things, unlike the previous one who already knew everything. I think the players like him too.
It’s exactly the type of game the Chelsea attackers would wan’t if they were able to choose. Lots of free space, not fannying around around the box, having 60-70% possession. We’re giving it to them.
