punkskaphil Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Chelsea playing like they've all bet on a one-goal win. They get near to the penalty area and then seem frightened to go any further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alonso has been really good for Chelsea but has made some very sloppy mistakes in the past few months. For me i'd liken it topically to Van Aken Awesome at delivering the ball on a sixpence - so it looks eye-catching and people fall for it Similarly John Stones Unfortunately Chilwell is not a good defender - and that is his job first and foremost Chilwell can look so good in some aspects of the game - i just don't think he's a top defender Which for £50m he should be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Chelsea seem to be going through the motions a bit here. Feel like they have a few more levels in them but can't really be arsed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent gets lauded for his attacking prowess, but the kid is awful defensively. The only one I can think of (out of the current crop) who seems to really enjoy defending is Wan Bisakka at Man U, but then he's pretty hopeless going forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in this wing back system Tuchel is playing, Alonso starts everyday of the week. He’s a fantastic attacking wing back. Alonso has played 20 times in the past year, including a few as a wing back and had been way below his previous standards which is why he got dropped. The abuse he was getting from Chelsea fans way before lock down made Pelupessy look like he is revered by our fans. Tuchel has seemingly given him a clean slate which is understandable but I wouldn't guarantee him getting back to his form of old on the back of a couple of games.

alanharper Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Obvious that Chelsea are going to fart about, sit back on the 2-1, and let them equalise late on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even wan Bisakka is prone to more errors than traditional full-back use to be but gets away with it a lot with his recovery pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day his half a dozen touches will be enough to get him a goal and we will never hear the end of it, as though it justifies paying £23M.

It's an issue with defenders who come through the academy system in this country "pick a pass" - i've heard it a thousand times Young defenders daren't do something so radical as like, clear the ball when it's a threat - because they get told to "pick a pass" So whilst they may look way more comfortable in possession and they can usually "pick a pass" - they have lost the true art of defending 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he's a bit like Kyle Walker in that respect, who often relies on his pace to get him out of sticky situations. Funnily enough, the one fullback in really good form at the moment is Luke Shaw. The two Liverpool one's have gone completely off the boil. A few of my mates really rate Justin at Leicester. I was a fan of Ricardo before he got that bad injury.

I was a fan of Ricardo before he got that bad injury. Watched so much Premier League football during the pandemic. I really like Reece James at Chelsea, until he got injured. Only just got back in the side now. He was playing really well both defensively and going forward. Great engine on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
