Dude looks 10 years older in the post match conference compared to last season. This season took a massive toll on him already

We play high line because Flick is mostly trying to play to our strengths (attacking instead of defending). If we ever get proper defense reinforcements, I'm sure he wouldn't be so stubborn with it.

Ferran and Rashford as attacking options. He could try Yamal in a more of a false nine or 10 role

Every single time I've watched him this season, he's chasing the opposing player. Always chasing, it's like he's two steps slower than every player. I said this a few months ago, but perhaps those injuries last season did him in. Some players never properly recover from those knee injuries.

Ya ESPN commentators said the same, but I disagree. He looked more shaky than Gerard Maldini

Imagine if Pique never had Puyol and Ferdinand. Who knows if he would've been the same player. He badly needs a veteran with him until he turns 25 or so. I wouldn't mind going for Konate since he's available.

Not even that really, no one was there to support him and they sorta played a little scared. Weird considering we have a much weaker squad (with the injuries) than last season.

I was a little surprised how timid ATM played. Thought they would attack more. Weird tactics by Simeone. They did far more counters last season. Perhaps they were much better last season.

Would be shocked if he's starting over Ferran vs Betis

Glimpses of last season Balde. Hopefully he keeps it up.

Much better DM than Casado

Raphinha is arguably the most important system player for Flick. His pressing and off the ball movement is just beautiful to watch as a fan. Should be the captain, no clue how Araujo got it.

Yes, we will. Yamal era will get at least one. My worry is that he might leave if there's no improvement by 2027.

By 2027, we should be financially recovered from the catastrophes of Coutinho and Griezmann

Relax. We've had a bad start yes and club is still recovering from decade of poor financial decisions. With enough time, we will have enough money to get an actual back 4 that can compete at the highest level.

wtf happened to him this season?

Workrate/press is the name of the game in modern football. Ya, if there is no collective press, then there is no point in doing it. A lot of these EPL teams perfected the collective press. If one player presses but others don't collectively, it leaves a lot of gaps.

I might get crapped on for saying this, but I genuinely think this Chelsea side has a better overall squad than any other team this season. FFS, they were missing arguably their best player and still could slot in at least two players for him with very minimal drop in quality. I could see them...

Think CL is out of reach this season. He should focus on LL and Copa
