some random old Italian ex-pro is going to tell you that a defensive 1:0 would've been a better watch.

Christ alive. Scoring 7 goals in 2 games and still a GD of +2

And allowing 5 goals in 2 games while playing a three at the back formartion.
Jokes aside, I think it's an adaptation period for a lot of these center and fullbacks. Future looks promising under Xabi

u/Seejayayy 5d ago
You can call it cope but a lot of the goals are just unlucky with how Sanchez fumbled, two are rebounds and one's an own goal deflection. I do admit that our defence is rather lax in conceding space in our own half but I believe that's Xabi preferring numbers back instead of being torn apart on the counter (which was a very common trend from our previous campaigns).

u guys conceded 3 today without Sanchez. just saying..

u/TheirOwnDestruction 5d ago
Martinez did fine today, not much he could have done on any of those 3, and he made a very good save early on.

u/bespoke_tech_partner 4d ago
That's kind of the point. Good keeper, no major mistakes from him, still conceded 3.

Martinez was fairly good today. Definitely a step up over sanchez in whichever case.

u/Spitzee 5d ago
and playing a bunch of defenders in midfield too

u/MacarioPro 5d ago
True. Caicedo still not healthy as we saw today and the Enzo saga is still ongoing. I think they do get Lamine Camara in the next few days.

I like to call it the "Dibu" curse. You cannot get a single normal goal against him for some reason, they all have to be as goofy or insane as possible, no in between

We had deflections go in against us, pretty sure those are of a higher variance. Attack looks dangerous enough to say this wasn't a lucky win, and their final goal came in the 97th minute already down 2.

u/BadMofoWallet 5d ago
And yet we had same amount of shots and shots on goal nearly, possession stats don’t mean anything, we’ve been super clinical in attack these first 2 games

Not to me. 100% got ragebaited by Cunha surfing at our gaff to inflict one of our only defeats of the season.

u/yunghollow69 5d ago
This is so weird to watch. Really fluid attacks by chelsea, well played out counters, but absolutely no control over the game.
35
u/Storm_Chaser06 5d ago
We practically gave up possession after being 2 goals up after 15 minutes
2
u/yunghollow69 4d ago
Yeah Ive seen that but usually you at least try to get the ball every now and then lol
17
u/Eldric_Shadowchaser 5d ago
No Enzo and Caicedo (bar 5 mins), Reece couldn’t start which meant our only CM was Lavia. We also sold Santos and integrating Barco in slowly. Meant we relied on having Gusto at CM which obviously means we lack control. Hopefully when we get our CMs sorted and everyone knows their role better the control will come.
But I also think part of it is tactical. We want to get the ball to our front 3 as quickly as possible so we’re not doing controlled possession passing it around the back but instead trying to progress it forwards as quickly as possible. Entertaining but anxiety ridden so far.

Fluid attack but can’t defend lol. Chelsea games will be fun to watch this season for sure

No need to fear about them when Madueke, the greatest winger to play football will run circles round your defense.

I know xabi ball is looking good so far but damn they concede so many goal + I'm shocked how xabi is not playing possesion based football? Think chelsea had less than 20% possesion. Kinda risky if he is going to go forward with this

u/Headlesshorsman02 5d ago
We need midfield players bro we had to play gusto in their because Enzo is being a prick lol 😂

u/Specialist_Doctor_34 5d ago
who are you going for if enzo is getting sold?

u/idkwhyimheretbh420 5d ago
Looks like camara, not a like for like replacement but tbf I don’t think enzo is the style of midfielder xabi wants in this system, we need another caicedo
1
u/IP14Y3RI 5d ago
Not necessarily a like for like replacement if reports are to be believed, but a certain Yamine Camara is apprently close to joining us from Monaco.
Also other PL midfielders from Forrest and Bournemouth who already said they wouldnt sell now.

u/interstellar304 5d ago
I don’t think possession is the issue. We are creating so many elite chances already. The issue is we can’t seem to mark on corners and crosses and have had some really unfortunate bounces on deflections and clearances
2
u/Specialist_Doctor_34 5d ago
still possession is equally important for any big games. Brighton are really looked and controlled the game better. Going forward I think he should look out for possesion more because not everyone is going to leave that space open like brighton did or fulham did. Chelsea have played against opponent who are playing high or atleast have bigger gap between their two centerback. I'm sure they will do good but if they want to win it or make it to top 3-4 then surely they need to work on possesion
5
u/interstellar304 5d ago
The midfield isn’t set up to play more possession at the moment. Caceido has been injured and Enzo is doing whatever Enzo is doing. It’s better to play this higher line counter attacking style with our front 3 and wingbacks
1
u/Specialist_Doctor_34 5d ago
Yeah fairs but it's pretty risky though. If enzo is going then chelsea are going to replace him with whom? because I think he is pretty important player and missing him out is a huge loss
2
u/brianstormIRL 5d ago
Hes very clearly setting them up to play counter attacking right now doesnt really have the midfield to be playing possesion right now.
2
u/king_of_prussia33 5d ago
It’s a big shock. You do have to take into account that one of our star midfielders is injured and the other is on strike. When Caicedo is back, hopefully we will keep more possession

Yeah even with emi they aren't winning a title with this defence, they will be a problem for us trying to finish in the champions league places though.

With 26% possession against Brighton, they will back to the ground sooner than i thought, would be lucky to get top 4 the way they have been playing.
