February 12, 20224 yr These clips from Lukaku doesn't do him any favours. Just watching him try and control a football and even play a pass is painful.
February 12, 20224 yr 1 minute ago, just said: Our football under Sarri was probably the most regularly tedious in all my years of watching Chelsea. Over playing in midfield, not committing players forward in numbers ahead of the ball. It was more often than not incredibly frustrating and boring. What we did have though (and Sarri had), was Hazard. A true world class forward at that time, capable of going past opponents with ease and scoring worldies. At least Sarri played a 4-3-3 with a lot of emphasis on movement, this back 3 passing the ball around and waiting for T.Silva to shoot from distance is objectively more tedious. Sarri got the best out of Hazard so both got a lot from that relationship.
February 12, 20224 yr We sorely miss a winger that can beat a man and a CF that actually put his heart on a sleeve. Overall we lack players that would put everything out on the field and finish the game at full time knackered.
February 12, 20224 yr CHO used to be able to beat his man but now looks a shell of the player he was before the injury.

February 12, 20224 yr I wish Channel 4 had got Roy Keane so we could get an honest opinion on Lukaku.

If Tuchel brings on Nevin, Speedie and Dixon for CHO, Havertz and Lukaku we will walk this game.
February 12, 20224 yr 7 minutes ago, 2211 said: We play far too slow. That’s one of the main differences between us, Liverpool and City. We do nothing at pace and therefore rely on all passes in any move to be inch perfect. We play far too much like an Italian team but without any of the accuracy that the Italians do when they attack. And this has been the case for years no matter who our manager is. I mean playing slow and too safe. We have no capability of taking any risks.
February 12, 20224 yr We just looked too managed, too structured, were playing to a process and seem unable or not allowed to play outside of that, play any heads up football. It's garbage to watch, it's like the worst periods of Sarri's tenure only without Hazard to drag us through games.
February 12, 20224 yr 7 minutes ago, Dubair said: Nah , he’s been picking the ball up in good positions and has had a number of terrible passes/shot, nothing to do with the system. Hopefully he picks it up in the 2nd half Yes, every attacker we have bought in the last 2 years going to sh*t has nothing to do with our system or the way we play.
February 12, 20224 yr 2 minutes ago, just said: Yep. If Tuchel brings on Nevin, Speedie and Dixon for CHO, Havertz and Lukaku we will walk this game. I’d take an 80 year old Bobby Tambling and the ghost of Peter Osgood.
February 12, 20224 yr Tuchel has done wonders, but our play is so pragmatic, Sparky commentating must be thinking, when I played at Utd we were so good, not footballing chess…

February 12, 20224 yr Why Odoi still on the pitch is hard to understand. Has has been pocketed by their defence. Should be off soon to give us a chance to win this game.
