Interviewer asked him about pressure of being their most expensive player.

I understand his strengths, but for me I would be taking James, TAA and Trippier as my 3 full back options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea gotta be contenders next season, imo they need an upgrade on Werner but have most other positions covered 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0wl18 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Chelsea are a prolific goal scorer away from being frightening. They have Liverpool’s press, City’s technical ability and, a vintage Mourinhoesque defence. Versatility personified. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure whether that was the case at Leipzig or just since the move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'd be going 4-2-3-1 in the games against better nations, with James as the RB. I'd look at 4-3-3 against Czech and Scots with TAA starting as RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0wl18 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 James is England’s best right back. Comfortable tactically, TAA gets the plaudits for his ridiculous ability on the ball, phenomenal delivery. Only downside to that is, he’ll never have anyone to deliver the ball to when Harry Kane he dropped into the number 10 position chasing the ball!

Southgate needs to tell Kane to play the width of the area. With our midfield he shouldn’t need to drop deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouncing Owl Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 (edited) No sympathy for Pep. Yet again, he overthinks it. No defensive midfielder or conventional striker on the pitch as he wanted to accommodate his midfielders and wingers. Completely unbalanced. Often, KDB and Foden were both playing as central strikers. It was quite frankly unbelievable. Get back to basics and do what you are good at, Pep and stop trying to think you are too clever.
