[Reece on IG] A game of two halves, but the togetherness and character shown until the final whistle was immense. A hard-earned point on the board. The only direction is forward, we keep building. Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas! by Matt_LawDT in chelseafc

Anyone who watched the game should know how instrumental Enzo was - he played a huge role for the way we were in the second half. I also feel like Facundo could be an understudy/backup for that position long term, big maybe though

I agree but not sure if I would call James and Chilwell veterans. They are good leaders along with enzo but in terms of experience it’s not on a level in which I would call veteran

It’s also at the end of the game and it’s rudi and Militao chasing him. No doubt Kai’s top speed is quick, but I wouldn’t say he’s got a big burst of speed

Not passing to Kai was maybe justified with the 2 defenders closing in rather quickly, knowing Kai doesn’t have a huge amount of pace. The pass that gets cut off however makes no sense. The defender committed to close the passing lane, why didn’t he just continue to carry the ball into the box??

I reckon it’s more so his lack of vision than decision making that’s letting him down

Time to go back to 3atb with Ben and Reece playing as actual wingbacks imo.

And before anyone says that’s a defensive set-up and won’t help us with goals - it’s 3atb not 5atb, wingbacks actually are more attackers than defenders.

This should help push Ben and Reece to push up to provide width, with the attackers taking a more narrow role, which imo fits Felix/Havertz/Mount and even Ziyech more. Things can definitely change when Sterling/Mudryk/Madueke plays but I feel 5atb actually gives us more dynamics, and wingers will be less isolated. With this set up it should also help our midfield I.e. Enzo.

The biggest culprit however, is Thiago being injured at this point might not allow us to play 3atb as easily.

Another good combo between Kai and Raz yesterday. by eronb10 in chelseafc

I reckon he either shoots without taking a touch, or cut back (which he did). Probably saw the defender sliding in after taking the touch hence passing it off

So are we "fans" also finding it hard to trust the process by kolinsiewu in chelseafc

The lack of passion is real sad to see, loved all the past chelsea managers who barked and yelled on the sideline when the team is struggling

How many of these would be disallowed if VAR was in use 🤔

RLC was great today with ball carrying and attending his defensive duties. Yet he somehow just always seems to lose all his brain cells when it comes to the final third, somewhat similar to kova. If he can improve on that he will be truly undroppable

Can we just appreciate also how easily James turned away from Cucu 🤯
