Chelsea’s ceiling is title contention with already a top 3 squad in the league
Mauricio Pochettino is NOT the man to take us to that ceiling.
This is why.
A thread:
We were a FEARED team.
Every club knew that they’d struggle before even kicking a ball because of the identity Tuchel created within Chelsea
A piss-poor attack
Constant injuries
Club sanctions
And he still had us competing for EVERY trophy in these conditions
Nearly two months later without their two most important players and they’re 4 points off top 💀
This is what happens when you have a tactician that trusts his principles 👍
He’s the club’s best 1v1 dribbler lol
Similar profiles like Jeremy Doku get regular game-time and receive so much plaudits…..
Noni can do everything Doku can
But because of Poch we won’t ever realise it
Are the casuals now watching Caicedo?
He’s been at this performance level for the majority of the season but because we’re not in the top 4, he’s automatically a flop
Never let Chelsea fans/Twitter convince you that THIS is a bad footballer….
CF’s would dream to have Jackson’s qualities in link play
Transitional demon
We played under the terrorism of Conte and Jose and he was the SOLE reason why we kept some sort of control in games
Look at him isolated with no support and still managing to progress the ball
This is the flaw with Poch’s system
It maximises players like Gallagher and hinders our best players in Enzo and Caicedo
We aren’t a transition-based team, we shouldn’t prioritise chasing games our team is suited to CONTROL games
🚨 Mauricio Pochettino's whole system is built on a strong press and Conor Gallagher has both the legs and heart to deliver that against any opposition in the Premier League.
He's not the perfect midfielder, but he is perfect in the way Chelsea set up and his absence takes away…
My boy can bring the best out of Enzo and Caicedo….
BTL play, ball progression, technical security, final third IQ
All of these qualities that Gallagher lacks…. Carney excels in
The glue
This is the flaw with Poch’s system
It maximises players like Gallagher and hinders our best players in Enzo and Caicedo
We aren’t a transition-based team, we shouldn’t prioritise chasing games our team is suited to CONTROL games
Moises Caicedo is the reason why Pochettino is still employed
To be performing to an optimum level whilst being so isolated in this 3-1-6 set up….
Poch’s time is nearly up
People need to understand that Pep doesn't get it wrong with his wingers, guys like Sane and Mahrez had underwhelming first seasons and eventually banged when fully adapted
Look at Alonso and Ange’s numerical superiorities in the first/second phase of build up
Compare it to the way Pochettino uses Enzo and Caicedo in these phases of build up….
These foundations are the reason why Poch isn’t the one
I dare that stinky Somali ibzsmo3k nigga to speak on Noni Madueke’s name
Guy thinks it’s cool to casually hate on all our black players to bring back “2018 Chelsea Twitter” I never cringed harder
This is him in isolation btw….
He’s been this consistent as a single pivot
He’s been this good without the system being being played to his strengths
Imagine how good he’ll become when he is fully maximised under another coach
“Winless in their last 5 games”
Besides the point lol
Look at the way Ange has Ben Davies and Lo Celso operating in the first phase
A clear trajectory with his philosophy
🚨 BREAKING: Arne Slot will be new Liverpool head coach replacing Jurgen Klopp at the end of the season!
Agreement sealed on compensation between Feyenoord and
#LFC
, all set also on contract details for Slot.
Here we go. 🇳🇱
“But Chelsea killed their season”
No. Ange is just good lol.
The way he’s brought out the best in players like Porro, Udogie, Kulusevski and even Richarlison
The right manager with the right profiles get the results👍
Possession-orientated 2-3-5 with inverted fullbacks (Ange type)
2-4 shape with the double pivot
Focus on central progression/wide wingers
These are RELATABLE principles to this Chelsea team
Liverpool are fooling A LOT of people with their start to the season.
A lot of people….
If you think this is a team capable of winning the league….. oh boy
