I did. Cannot find the exact post but if I recall correctly, said that Willian's shots can't be considered real chances and that I didn't blame the coach much for it since Chelsea has huge diversity upfront.
All long shots certainly shouldn't be discarded as they come due to space not covered.
Anyway, would you say Chelsea was just spamming long shots at the Bridge?
It's all true, not the best match from us defensively.
BUT, you claimed Juve was not threatening. It's simply not true.
That still is one of our best matches this season.
Again, how is it a not a real chance when he came extremely close to scoring? The power and accuracy and the amount of space given for Willian to line up his shot is terrifying because of how deep we are playing.
I have already said Busquets and Raktic just doesnt fit the defensive role. They look very suspect and terribly slow and were caught out of positions many times. They take very long to press the attackers. Iniesta as well but he has less defensive duties. Dembele had to help Rakitic many times.
I dont mind if we become an Atletico. Problem is the players we have. Busquets, Iniesta, Rakitic they're all technically driven players and dont have the physique to defend. They control the midfield with their brains and feet, not their brawns. I feel it was already one of the best match defensively, because these players simply aren't naturally defensive. They can only do so much and it's not their strengths.
In such a setup, they are practically useless.
Umtiti and Pique simply cannot keep bailing Busquets and Rakitic or even Roberto out. Pique almost fouled Alonso in the box. I still feel their natural positions suit them the best.
We'll see.
