Great analysis and thanks for the video!
I'd dispute a few things here.
1) Consistent formation despite team rotation isn't an inherent negative, lots of top teams have built title winning sides on that same principle (including Chelsea's last title win under Conte), Man City in recent years (less so this season) have stuck to their 433 and so have Liverpool.
1b) Rotations have only really been caused by injuries. Poch has been very very consistent with his team selections when he's had players fit.
2) The Luton goal I'm not sure you can attribute Caicedo and Gallagher ball watching to Poch's tactics, those are mistakes.
3) As much as fans have loved to jump on them for the occasional wobble, Enzo and Caicedo aren't being played for their price tags. They have by far been the best options for CDM, especially with Lavia and Ugochukwu's injuries. You could maybe drop Gallagher in for one of them but he's a presser and lacks positional discipline.
Aside from that I agree with pretty much all of it. Lack of mentality (tied to youth) being the biggest on the problem on the pitch coupled with only having one player capable of putting away goals consistently.
I'm generally Poch in but of course definite room for improvement. Chelsea fans expect us to immediately bounce back into challenging for top four despite having only three of that starting line up still around (who have also been injured for most of the season). We dropped a lot of points early on in the season and suffered horrendously from injuries, but have been picking up form despite the frustration on the weekend.
We've always said this is a project and some fans don't want to accept that as reality. We're 4 points off 7th with a game in hand, and Man Utd always look ready and willing to explode at any moment.
Completely agree. I am Poch in, but there are concerns I have with him. In game management, the use of Enzo and some other things but we need to give him until the end of the season at least
Great comment and agreed. I'd also like to add that James made a point about thr players being assets that appreciate....erm no. This isn't entirely about sales this ain't antiquing. The players have been bought to be in the team and bring it success
@@Seanself363Of course players have been brought in to improve the team however we can’t deny that a lot of the signings were also made with an eye on making a profit down the line. Otherwise, just asking for FFP problems.
Spot on mate
Love this comment so much man. Spot on
It's great that there is a Chelsea analysis video coming from a neutral party for once but the video feels very 'outside looking in'. A lot of the points made about Chelsea are partially correct but can be misleading as to how significant the problems actually are, whilst also lacking context. As a team that has been surrounded by extreme criticism the last 18 months, the last thing it needs more 'finger pointing' at failings without the full picture.
The volume of Chelsea's spending is always mentioned but never the circumstances which forced the new ownership into doing it. I am not saying all of their spending was good (especially not that first summer transfer window), but almost all of it was understandable, given the context at the time
how did you get it down to 9?
He just picked them out of a hat
@@RS-vy9qv So you genuinely believe there are only 2 problems at chelsea and if those are solved you become a dynasty???
Jim I need a longer video of this because some of this was fascinating to hear as a Chelsea fan.
It also assures that there are greater issues at the club that make an in-season hire more difficult to succeed.
Forgot about Levi Colwill being part of the academy but good vid otherwise JLA.
The first point is mainly down to injuries, we actually have very consistent team selection aside from that. Literally only Gallagher, Palmer and Sterling have stayed fit and available, every other player has been down with injury for quite a few and in many case quite a lot of games.
PS I'm not saying Poch is doing a good job, I'm just saying that that point is incorrect.
I think that Gallagher and Petrovic are the only players to not pick up an injury all season.
@@i3p973and Disasi
Pochetino must go
I still think poch could fix it tho given a year to trim the squad and bring in who he wants.
This was a great analysis, but as other Chelsea fans have pointed out, it only really points out some of out Chelsea's biggest problems like lack of consistency in the lineups and motivation, and leadership but avoids the more problematic ones.
For instance,
1. The lack of consistent lineups have largely been down to injuries. Disasi and Colwill have been made to play makeshift fullbacks because all 4 of our actual fullbacks (apart from Maatsen earlier on) were/are consistently injured. This has been a recurring theme for 2 years now, and its probably less down to luck and more on the staff not advising the team well. This is apparent with all the muscle and hamstring injuries compared to the more freak ones, showing a lack of fitness prep for the players.
Obviously, in the attack, with Mudryk, Madueke, Sterling, Jackson and Broja all being rather fit this year, his point about inconsistent selections is warranted on this aspect. This is especially the case with Madueke and more specifically Mudryk, who seems to never gets picked to start a 2nd game after being MOTM the game before.
2. Finishing Chances. Chelsea had outscored every team on xG every game till the start of Jan or Feb, yet they still languished in 10th. This shows how much they need clinical finishers, but with Nkunku out for most of the year, and when players like Jackson, Broja, Mudryk, Madueke AND SPECIFICALLY STERLING all missing chances for fun, Chelsea don't have that luxury.
So, it doesn't matter how many key passes are made or where they are in the table on that stat, since if you're creating more chances (>xG) than the opponent every game, you'll have a better chance to win the game, but evidently Chelsea don't follow that trend.
Really good analysis
Klopp uses all the players he has and yet he can produce good result!
I’m just tired of it man, I just wanna watch fun football but shit just collapses in on itself everytime, poch’s tactics are disjointed we are awful at defending counter attacks due to poch wanting his midfielders to act aggressively yet instructing the cb’s to be as cautious as possible leaving huge gaps for Caicedo and Enzo to cover which isn’t fair on them
also Gallagher playing as a 10 hurts the team, idc if it should be a meritocracy either play him in a double pivot or drop him because he isn’t a good finished, can’t create and isn’t adept to holding on to the ball, always bugs me how ppl don’t get how Chelsea can’t score goals then say you can’t drop Gallagher it’s ridiculous
whenever u watch Chelsea it looks like there’s no structure, there’s constantly a player defending out of position which is a result of poch’s desire to play this high intensity pressing football
in all, poch is inheriting an awful situation and I feel for him , but tactically he’s setting Chelsea up so dysfunctional which leaves us so open, there is a good core team tho, Colwill and Disasi are good, despite what sky sports wants to tell you Fernandez and Caicedo are both great together, palmer’s elite , Jackson’s hold up play is brilliant and Nkunku is a great finisher, I’m sure when a new manager comes in and *refreshes* the feeling around Chelsea he’ll get it clicking
Fernandez and Caicedo ithink is the problem and because of their price tag had to play both they are just slow I mean slow
Chelsea have done what I used to do on Fifa career mode. Just buy all the high potential players and sit back and let them do all the work. 😂 sadly doesn’t happen that easy in real life.
Comes down to we've sold our youth talent, spent a billion and made no progress, if we had Tomori, Abraham etc..with Palmer and Gusto I can't see us being any worse
The first problem is entirely down to injuries…we’ve had to shuffle the back one almost every 2-3 matches because one gets hurt.
I’m not sure what Poch is suppose to do with that. As for the season, we’ve been crap, but we are still very young and improving.
People will say we aren’t, but if we could stop the hiccup goals at the end of match/stay focused, this team would be doing better.
As the Madueke at the end. He can cut back and play over the top to Palmer.
Or, cut to his left and play a ball to Gallagher over the top as well (not easy).
He has options, but he just doesn’t seem them…
I Don't think you play football
@@haviper I have an actually have coached too. If this was say someone like TAA no one would argue that it can't be done. Noni can play those balls, we've seen it before.
@@upper9052 👍
Poch still is yet to start sterling, jackson, and nkunku. This was what they used in preseason when they looked like a top 4 challenging team...
He threw away that tactic of having the double pivot near each other and flying fullbacks helping with overloading the wide areas and linking up with Nkunku who drifts wide making space for mudryk to run into which suits his game idk why Poch abandoned that it's baffling
@@massundatumelo04 I swear after preseason you'd of thought chelsea would be in villas position
Thats asking to bench palmer, who wasnt there in preseason, or Gallagher, whos been their best midfielder this season. Its not an easy call, especially when nkunku has been injured for large portions of the season.
@melosivitch you wouldn't need to. Sterling out left, palmer on the right, jackson up top with nkunku in behind. Ik nkunkus been injured but it still surprises me he's barely been used along with Jackson this season. Most of the time he gets subbed on as jackson comes off which just baffles me
@melosivitch honestly that leaves Enzo or caicedo. One of them sadly needs to hit the bench.
'Team selection's inconsistant'? What with double figure injuries all season? 'Forced to play caciedo & fernandez' because lavia, chukwuemeker & ugochukwu have been injured all season, there's fv
Team selwction, why didn't you add injuries? At times we have had 11 first twam players out and only 3 fit muddfielders currently.
Wow I'm here at the same time as the bots!
The strickers are awful. Get rid of them.
Absolutely not 😂
And replace them with who??
Or are you just having no strikers at all??
We need a senior striker
James for Chelsea sporting director, now!!
Biggest problem on the pitch as an outsider looking in is Silva. Need to drop him so the back four can push up and squeeze the play
Brilliant review old chap. Pity you are not diagnosing these issues for Chelsea but the owners, manager, directors and players so bloody thick would not be able to understand or as the team not give a fuck.
The press, lack of fitness (the team folds after 60 minutes in every game and just tries to hold onto whatever result they have), and substitutions are the biggest problems with Chelsea. Also, the whole shape is disjointed and forward players like Palmer and Sterling offer absolutely no help defensively
How can you possible compare Palmer to Sterling!!? Palmer tracks back... Sterling doesn't even care... He's one of the worst players Chelsea has ever bought, and to compare him to Palmer!!. If Chelsea can have any hope building for the future I'd stick with the 20 year old who has the most goal contributions in the team rather than the highly paid, low effort, wasteful diva in the team.
@@FlashUx obviously but Palmer still doesn’t press hard enough at all and doesn’t track back well. Sterling is a lot worse but Palmer needs to improve that side of his game too
Fairs. @@barry4649
Going forward if we have no senior figure on the pitch we need someone reliable to captain. Enzo has played nearly every game since starting, his only issue is he needs to learn fluent english
Youve tried with this, but quite a lot of yout points lack context both against the players and the coach. Feels very outside looking in. Perhaps you should speak to more chelsea fans to behin to understand more about whats going wrong.
Not to mention there is NOBODY outside James and chilwell who can tie in the culture from years past and they are NEVER on the pitch. They dumped ALL players from a champions league side.
I don't think Poch has what it takes,,, We need a coach that can inspire sth in this players... Losing to a Liverpool academy just says a lot
He stopped the free fall that happened under Potter and then Lampard. Despite clear mess still there he has made a huge improvement from last season. Next season will be his real season and a fairer time to judge him. He has history of great football and getting the best out of his olayers
Plaese make another vid on Postecoglu
The Clearlake people are clueless and I fear they have broken the club with their stupidity. It is not surprising they clashed with an experienced coach like Tuchel. As a Chelsea fan, I am now resigned to mid-table mediocrity in the short term. Most of the fan channels expect Poch to flick a switch and these players will turn into Chelsea of old. That is not how football works. If he's fired we are back to square one. A top coach won't want to inherit this mess, they want something to build on.
If you had to pick the next manager for Chelsea, who would you pick?
Maybe xavi?
They need a natural central striker jackson aint it
Nah bro
Strikers don't win league
Two much purchase at the expense of their academy talents is suicidal in nature & funnily most intakes are injury prone😢
Y’all never shut up about our inconsistency but also never mention the load of injuries we’ve had all season long
Clubs a mess from top to bottom. Biggest questions need to be asked of the ownership more than anyone.
Palmer needs to play where Gallagher is and move Caicedo to the bench. Palmer does not have the pace to play on the wings and he is most dangerous behind the striker. Gallagher and Enzo should be the double pivot for Chelsea. Chelsea needs a striker, possibly someone like Ivan Toney or Victor Osimhen.
If you play Gallagher and Enzo as double pivot who is going to do bulk of tackling donkey work?
Chelsea have spent 1 billion and forgot to sign a striker
But Chukwuemeka went for all that game time...
Got game time before suffering multiple hamstring injuries. Started our second game of the season against West Ham and scored too.
9. Seems low. They start with 11
Chelsea needs a good sporting director and board, without Boehly interfering with the transfers
He isn't interfering with anything that happened last season now he is on the business side
Time will tell, but the team seems spoiled. Too much money too early in their careers. What's their motivation? As for Poch, I think he does his best work at mid level clubs, having made his name at Espanyol and Soton. Don't know who'd replace him though. Mourinho's free... 🤷🏼♂️
The recruitment has been a disaster, it shows you that all the new owners care about is how to make profit on the players.
I’m Poch in and Chelsea out
Poch in for now
Poch in until June then part ways as he clearly isn’t the level of manager Required and he’s making our team look worse than it is with zero connection between players or plan to be seen
Pochetino must go
Talk is always cheap, doing the actual job is difficult. That's why pundits are always bad at coaching. 🙄
8:50 whoa James don’t get anyone pregnant
Chelsea have no depth. Most of their squad is the same profile of player.
Poch is not the guy to win trophies.
poch doesn't know what he is doing. full stop.
Poch gotta go surely
Poch out and take mini me with him
I would argue we have struggled far more against low blocks than teams with runners. Of course the results don’t say that, but if you watch the games we cannot break down a low block to save our lives. Whereas against teams with pacy wingers etc gusto in particular has generally had his man on lock. I agree completely about the confidence issue in holding onto games though. Youth is always going to have that as an issue.
When you buy 10 new players and young you need time
Even The very basics of football, the pathetic team can't implement. Pity
so basically he needs to be Arteta
POCH-IN
How about we accept pochettino is not a good coach
Got here early and wtf is up with all the sex bots lol
That's just Chelsea fans
Gallagher is the most Reliable player? That's where I stopped Watching. If it wasn't for him. Chelsea would have a trophy right now.
RIP POCH WELCOME TO CHELSEA XABI ALONSO
less than a year into this project and y'all are going haywire after losing a final. there is nothing to change. chelsea have played the current top 5 9x this season and lost only twice. you either buy experience or you develop. chelsea chose to develop. u do not discount a longterm project after 7 months. they made a final, thats a positive. stop with this unnecessary "crisis" talk.
Just a center forward. Nothing else.
At 14:58 if madueke was two footed enough you play it into the space behind the Konate in front of Connor Gallagher. That is what De Bruyne would do but only he can make that weak foot pass currently
You know it’s goin bad when Conor Gallagher is playing better than your two 100m pound players 😂
He just isnt though
He’s not
Poch and owners can eat a raw Sausage
Whats with the sex Bots
*Promo SM*
He doesnt know his strongest 11/22/ he doesnt know what hes doing lol
Such a know all bollocks
CHELSEA FOOTBALL CLUB EMPLOY THIS MAN
of course assuming the owners not signing their own photographs for kidiwink players from overseas
Chelsea should just sign naglesman and let him choose the players he wants when the transfer market open.
Shit take
Isn't tea just a vegetable broth
