Poch also doesn't know how to utilize Caicedo, Colwill, Nkunku, Mudryk, Carney, Chilwell, Silva, Disasi, Palmer (False 9), and MAYBE Jackson. He doesn't understand how to play his midfielders efficiently, we have HUGE spaces in midfield, whether we are pressing or on the ball. Watching this team under Poch is infuriating.

​@patricktinashe2812 honestly, Gallagher, gets the best out of Gallagher. Don't think poch has much to do about it. As he said, imagine Gallagher at spurs and how much better he would be

Notes to Poch for saving Chelsea: 1. Don't push Enzo so much forward. Keep in deep so that he can assist in the build-up play with his excellent passing range. 2. Don't hesitate to give the ball to Caicedo, he's a very press-resistant midfielder, one of the best in the league in doing so. 3. The entire frontline should press as a collective unit not just only Gallagher, Press collectively not individually. Edit: everyone saying Caicedo only passes backwards, ofcourse he does. When enzo pushes up the field, caicedo gets outnumbered massively in midfield. So obviously he plays it safe because if he loses the ball, the oppositio will be through on goal as Thiago silva is not fast enough to step in. Also, Its not possible for caicedo to dribble past 4-5 players. But if enzo stays deep, the midfield will be much more balanced and caicedo can combine with enzo to break through the midfield.

can you do a video explaining the difference how Enzo is utilised by Lionel Scaloni

Pochetino tried Enzo as n.10 in 5 or 6 games and it didn't work. Even Palace game when Chelsea switched to 433 in the second half the team started to play. Both Gallagher and Enzo are CMs(n.8). The problem with Caicedo is his lack of physical strength and he gets overrunned by more physical players,also very important was the fact that he played alongside Gross who is one of most underrated midfielders at PL. Solution for Chelsea wasn't Caicedo but someone like Pahlihna or Nordgaard strong physical n.6. Not weak CM turned to be CDM.

Chelsea are the only team who plays a defensive 10 and then wonder why they can’t create chances. And then we can’t even use Conor’s press correctly because we can’t play a highline with Silva. Pep once said to break down a low block u must play through the middle and we never use caicedo quick enough and give him options to break a press with one touch. We are completely mismanaging our players. Poch out!!

@RasenRendanX

Conor isn't even defensive. He's not a defensive midfielder. He's just a midfielder that lacks true creativity. He's literally just a #8 box to box

That was an incredible insight. I think in time they will gel into this set of players who really get a feel of where they should be, how they interact with one another, and what to expect from each other. I think what is key to this is Poch knowing his best 11, if not, hardly playing around with his defence and midfield. That’s where the build up play is. Keeping his spine too. The wingers can mix n match, but Enzo, Gallagher and Caicedo need to know each other better than they know themselves, and then in time, like you mentioned, Enzo will swap with Gallagher when on the attack, and Caicedo and Enzo will help him more in the press. Our wingers need to be pressing more in order to create chances further upfield. We’re not catching teams out enough, and we struggle against low blocks because we aren’t pressing, albeit Gallagher is but that’s not enough.

If this is driving you mad imagine having to watch Chelsea every week. I'm not sure how I feel about Potch anymore. What do we think of Nagelsmann?

433 hasn’t worked for Enzo if you’ve watched the games. He’s played better in the last 2 games since Poch adjusted the shape to a flat 442 with the wide midfielders positioned closer to the CMs than the sideline.

I knew Pochettino would not fit Chelsea. But, I didn't think he would be this bad. I did not have any big expectations, and yet he still disappointed me. It's such an unpleasant surprise that Chelsea do not seem to have any system, a clear way of play, cohesion in the team, bright tactical ideas, or leadership. Considering that Chelsea are out of European Competitions and have a lot of time to be on the training pitch, that is really not good. You can have a bad period or a slow start. But to lack the basic characteristics of a team, that doesn't speak good for the manager.

This is the main issue at the moment. That first half was all cos of Silva. Not sure why this video is singling out Enzo.

There's no one to pass a progressive short pass to because no one is making those runs for a one-two link up play to Enzo in the middle of the park. As a result all they do is make sideways passes from cb another. There is a high line of attackers just waiting for the ball, but they are not a long ball team. This leads to defensive problems also because of rest defense; defensive positioning while in possession, is not great. All they have are these ball winners Caicedo and Callagher, but they dont contribute much in terms of creating chances or space. Bernardo Silva would help a lot if they could get City to sell him.

Recency bias here is insane. I’ll concede he dropped an abysmal performance against palace. And I’ll further concede his debut against West Ham was really poor. But - however bookended his Chelsea career thus far may be with weakness, id go as far as to say he’s been one of our best players. It blows my mind that so many people can’t seem to watch football with their eyes. He is and has been great in possession. He might look weak under pressure at times - but that’s because we play a system where he is completely isolated all of the time. There is no footballer dead or alive who could thrive in the current role which caicedo has been thrust into. In the phases of play where he does have Enzo lying deep along side him, and the defensive line actually play decent balls into him, caicedo has looked to be worth every penny. But poch (like he is with almost all of our talent) is pissing that potential up the wall.

Great vid. But for a non expert footy fan… what’s the solution? What should Poch do instead? X

The problem with Poch is he does not appreciate the skills and talents of his players and hence he plays them out of position, makes poor selections and substitutions and his game plan is absent. He needs to a grip. It is not the team that is the problem.

Play him in a double pivot.

He's right that Enzo should not play too up high. But he did not really do this last game. The main problem was that Palmer was played out of position as a center forward and Jackson and Madueke do not have suficient quality as wingers, especially since they don't make the runs they need to do. In the second half Nkunku came on, Palmer switched to right wing and things started to become better. In the end both of Gallaghers goals were created through Palmers side. He should be the first name on the pitch as right winger.

@pierre3920

Btw. Enzo would probably have more impact, if he would switch position with Caicedo. First, he would have a bigger destination area for his long passes since he's a right foot. And second he would be more involved in combinations with Palmer and Gusto who are Chelsea's most creative players beside him atm.

Id like to state some things. First enzo fernandes is being moved forward because every team kept isolating him in the middle half with a tight press. He basically couldnt do anything. People who have watched those matches can clearly see it. I mean poch is not an idiot. Caicedo is not press resistant. He has also has lost the ball many times.

@Yom_Bristol

3 ай бұрын

so why evacuate the midfield? Agree caicedo has been weak when pressed but make it easier for him and give him options. He's often our only midfielder, what chance has he got then? The midfield needs help so removing an extra man makes no sense it makes it even weaker. We play like 4 - 1 - 5 its ridiculous like we expect to completely skip the middle, sort the mid out, overreacting to it is better imo. Maybe a forward is isolated but it will create so much space to run into, players moving quick in the final 3rd as opposed to slowing to a halt bc everyones already upfront stagnating

I'm hopeful. There's signs there of improving. League wins are a necessity now and I think they may need to be ground out but the Cup form is what gives me hope.

You are wrong on this one. Caceido doesn’t look like a press resistant midfielder this season, which is why Enzo has to drop deep at times to play progressives passes. The problem is like pochettino and many other pundit are saying is that this chelsea team need time. There is a lack of chemistry and that is because these players are all new and barely played with each other. Give this chelsea team another year and they will be cooking as long as they keep Pochettino and not make that many drastic changes to the team. They only need a striker, a center back to replace silva, and an attacker like Nico Williams. Maatsen is doing well at dortmund, so pochettino should keep him and play him lb.

Would have really appreciated a comparison to how Enzo, Caicedo and Gallagher played/were positioned vs Villa in the FA Cup replay - where it seemed they worked really well as a team and Enzo had one of his best games...

I believe as well the problem is that we are playing a defensive number 10 in Gallagher against a low block team. Pochettino needs to do his homework against opposition. Team that plays low block he should use nkunku or carni as the 10 and drop Gallagher to the bench or the 8 role and move Enzo to the 6 role (if caceido is dropped). Even though gallagher score twice, he lacks the technical ability to unlock low block team

The fact that we had a passing sequence of more than 5 passes before the ball got lost. is a +1. We could barely pass the ball... Last year

I dont agree with you singling out Enzo here. the main issue in the first half was Silva, he'd slow the game down, everybody who was moving for the ball slows down because they know Silva will hold it up too much, let Palace get back into position etc. Silva also sits deeper so our team is stretched more. This is the main issue at the moment. That first half was all cos of Silva. Not sure why this video is singling out Enzo. This is all because of the initial slowing down of the game by Silva, which sets precedent for all the other young players. 2nd half comes Poch i assume has said speed it up more, 2-3 touches max. And we look loads better in the 2nd half. And look better when Silva comes off too.

To be honest I don’t think Poch knows how to use the players that well. Like he played two CBs as fullbacks! Like he had Maatsen and still played Colwill as LB which absolutely bugged the heck out of me

From what you are saying, I think a 4--3-3 is what Chelsea needs. Enzo and Gallagher should be the 8s. Moreover, Palmer should play in the half spaces and have Chillwell provide the width.

I only saw the first half before my connection crapped out, but there were two things that were hard to miss. First, their tactics sucked. They were clearly trying to overload the flanks, but with Palace in a 4-5-1 that was never going to happen. Additionally, while trying to stretch Palace they ended up stretching themselves: every time somebody got the ball in the middle of the pitch the nearest teammate was miles away, so they just gave it back to the defense. Second, they were gutless on the ball. Their attackers made good runs, but nobody tried to pass it into space and make Palace turn. Enzo tried a few times, but he just put the ball out each time. At least he tried. I'm not sure what Madueke was for. Caicedo spent half the time splitting his own centerbacks.

This was Tottenham without Dembele and whenever Kane was hurt. It's the major flaw of Poch's side.

Can you please do best tactics to bring the best out of Chelsea!

You are funny and right!!!

As a Chelsea fan I feel like we’ve been stuck playing ponderous football ever since hazard left. At the start of the season Sterling had made some great runs dribbling at the defense and playing direct, idk why we got away from that.

Wow, it’s almost like a low block is the easy way to stagnate a Poch led team

Very interesting and persuasive analysis but although you assert that Caicedo is very “press resistant” he has been losing the ball a lot this season -admittedly because he is often isolated, too far from Fernandes.

We watch this every week. How Poch isn’t seeing this is criminally insane 😭😭😭

good video, my only disagreement is he IS a good chance creator, but the quality of the forwards in making runs off the ball is not there. it just isn’t

You're preaching what us Chelsea fans have been saying for months...

The solution is simple, we push both players through the Brundel teleporter and we create Conzo Fernallagher, the complete midfielder

Chelsea is a team from the middle ages: slow, lazy, rocky. ENZO is the different one, the "Fuori di Classe", as soon as he receives the ball he throws it, he changes the rhythm, the direction of the play. Throw a surgical pass. Boskov used to say that a 60-meter pass is three 20-meter passes, but with more precision. ENZO doesn't believe that and throws a long pass with surgical precision. Another thing Enzo is a player of 12 to 14 goals per year.

Having so many midfielder and only playing 2 at any given time is mind-boggling. 433 with a cdm will give Fernandez so much more room to work with

This is why I wanted Gallagher to replace Xhaka at Arsenal, but as we move to even more possession dominant, Kai is probably a better choice long term.

I dont understand how they couldnt pass the ball forward at all. Like is noone stepping up and filling the open spaces to pass the ball forward too? Or can noone get the ball, turn and make a move past a guy to get shit goin? Like what is it.. seems like they get the ball and say “oh no a defender is in front me, darn gotta pass it back.. cant go around” lol like wtf

The problem is slow defenders behind, midfielders doesn’t have the confidence to be more aggresive.

you are a genius bro

Caicedo unfortunately is a centrally positioned player, this doesn’t fit with our Horseshoe attack. We play up the side, back then across, up the other side, then back and across again, and repeat until we get hit on the break.

I think Poch will go sonner than later ( at the end of the season) unless he does a miracle in the league by getting top4. Poch is stubborn and won't play players in their preferred positions and his first thought process is not to loose or not concede than it it to create chances or score goals. Hence our top 4 attacking players - Nukunku / Palmer / Jackson/ Mudryk or sterling or Madueke would never start a game together in their preferred positions

Doesn’t help that Poch often plays Caicedo and Enzo miles apart which means that despite Caicedo being press resistant, he’s inevitably crowded out when left isolated with no passing options

we chelsea fan already know this enzo best play always come from deep

Pochettino Out, his pressing structure at Spurs and PSG was always disorganised. It’s now being shown at Chelsea too.

This is what I keep telling everyone we play like shit and no matter who they throw up top of you can’t create chances you won’t win games with any consistency. If we had Haaland as our striker this season he would have like 6 goals if he doesn’t take pens

Pochettino played Enzo as a number 10 earlier this season and he was awful in that position.

I wish a reporter could show this to Poch

Can we have the megazine in south Africa please

From an attacking point of view, I think Connor should play as a striker and put Palmer in the 10 position. Oh yeah Adam welcome to Chelsea Fans nightmare

With all due respect to Caicedo, his press resistance has been very poor for Chelsea this season. He's capable of being the transformative force we need in the middle of the park, but you can feel just how nervous he is every time he gets the ball with pressure coming. I hope he gets back to his best soon, though.

@user-is1ce6bi3u

It’s all confidence. When Caicedo was at Brighton, they built up with 5-6 players that are very compact so he knew if they lost possession, there is a high probability they will recover the ball. However, at Chelsea Poch has Caicedo isolated with massive gaps in between the players. Most of the players aren’t physically strong enough to win 1v1 duels and Chelsea build up with 3 players. Silva isn’t that fast anymore so if Caicedo loses that ball, the opposition have a very good chance of scoring. The only way to solve it is to have compact lines and create more options for Caicedo

as a chelsea fan ive vowed not waste my time ever watching chelsea game if poch is still our manager the guy doesnt have any mysterious tactics that can make us a top team like klopp artetas arsenal bologna leverkusen .....mehn i envy those teams when they play they play good football

So basically Enzo's role should be changed from AP to DLP on FM.

This midfield three remind me of 14/15 Chelsea midfield but arguably better. It’s insane how bad we are

Yeah seen it

"if you enjoyed this video, my god, why?" it's the same reason why we watch people eat ghost peppers or do stupid stunts. So we can be in pain and cringed together and that for some reason is fun.

I really feel like Chelsea doesn’t take a look at KZread media for potential criticism of their strategies. It could be really helpful for poch and some of the squad to sit down and take into consideration some of the more reputable channels have to say. They constantly ignore any criticism of their tactics and just play mediocre ball.

Bro I hvbeen seeing all these about Chelsea all season

I have two problems with this analysis. It completely ignores the fact that Chelsea produced their most complete performance of the season (with Enzo at the heart of it) against Villa using the system he analyses here and blames for Enzo's ineffectual first half performance against Palace. Second it completely ignores the fact that Chelsea's were much better in the second half and Enzo's influence grew using what has been Poch's go to system this season. Could it simply be an issue of a young team trying to find each other's frequency and create better understanding of their roles which takes time, and in that time performances may be hit and miss. This analysis seems to be suggesting that there's a particular system under which Chelsea can press more effectively and Enzo's creativity better utilised.

Not really convinced Fernandez did play 10 and it was not good at this time. Now he is proving he can score. Main point I agree is the pressing no body is following Gallagher, we don't have Werner nor Mount anymore.

Diverting fault from enzo, and caicedo now, seems to me as simply being blind to facts. They’re not at fault for coming in to chelsea, but they’re not fulfilling the roles the system needs. Caicedo simply was not the man for the job, he’s better suited in a double pivot, and chelsea are not that. Enzo on the other hand, holds a lot more responsibility. He was brought for a reason, his playmaking abilities from deeper zones. The system has been shifted to better suit his abilities, and he has even been liberated of some defensive responsibilities by pairing him with players quite capable in pressing. Yet, he remains inconsistent. His limited passing range have only increased some of chelsea’s woes from a time back

I can see why Poch is resistant to play Enzo deeper. Chelsea are leaking a lot of goals and Enzo is a passenger defensively. If Chelsea get broken on, he may as well not be there. Chelsea looked better when Gallagher played DM at the start of the season. I think the players need to take more responsibility, they should be able to work out what isn’t working and change themselves

Why don't they play caicedo in a single pivot and Gallagher as boxto box and Enzo as a mezzala just give him license to roam idk the 10 double pivot doesn't make sense for the personnel

man got mad explaining what has been happening meanwhile chelsea fans "first time??" XD T_T

I think enzo is perfect as a deep lying playmaker. Pirlo style. The problem was that Silva kept our line so deep in possession and we were much better after he was subbed

Enzo and Caiecedo are not particularly good at pressing and recovering balls as Gallagher is. They may be talented but they aren't mature enough to make intelligent adjustments when things don't go according to the coaches plan. The switch in formation in the second half helped but they have along way to go.

Pochetino is our main problem and regressing under him

The problem is not poch it's just that Chelsea need to reorganize the set up behind the scenes like board of directors n assistant coaches must support poch and allow him to restructure the team the way he wants n sell some of your top stars to recoup rate the money invested n reduce their contact Duration on the books n implement transfer negotiation limt on recruitment

Poch needs a system that is as close to his best Spurs team as they'll get, but that will never happen without a proper transfer strategy.

@@Shadowespeon17 That's the wrong way to view this situation remember not every team must be the same as their success club, poch needs is to take control over club like he did South Hampton n Spur had Kane, Son, Dele n top defenders n keeper as the back bone of the team so this argument is useless...

he doesnt rate Enzo by the way......so sell a 100mil plus player to keep Poch? are you for real? rather him go lol this club not selling their 100mil plus players for poch...

True

Are you feeling a bit of Poch out, Adam?

Agree on Gallagher being a tidy player. He and Enzo just need to 100% swap roles.
