Obviously a manager as good as Tuchel would probably find ways to adapt, these are just ways teams have had success against him in the past.
FMS, are there any books dealing with football tactics that you would recommend?
Obviously
Having Lukaku means long balls, early crosses and a whole lot of inshallah are back on the menu which should help shake things up a bit every now and then.
Do managers playing against Chelsea next, study all the past tactics of teams which played well against them?
@@abhinavsk8292 every top flight manager does this regardless of who they are up against
Everybody is a gangster until Kante comes outta nowhere and steal the ball
Hahahahahaha... I like that
Looool exactly
Underrated comment
straight outta compton
"We will build a team that no one wants to play against." I have to admit that it is one of the coldest lines ever. City fan by the way.
Yeah I wasn't sold on Tuchel after we lost Lampard, but that was the interview that made me admire him. That, and also the instant shift in our defensive capabilities 😂
Tuchel is a unique manager. He doesn't just focus only on the tactics but he also likes to make his players try to solve problems individually. He makes a lot of puzzles in training to help the players overcome a certain moment in the game that could create an advantage
Seems similar to Lomachenko's training
That makes his teams more unpredictable
that's true. I've been seen that too.
Thats so true. When they get a tough opponent nowadays, they rely on individual brilliance and skill to over come the opponent. They can also play long passes now to Lukaku or play many passes till they unlock the defence. They can be unpredictable.
How often do you go to Chelsea training
Like Pep Guardiola's 20 Zone system Tuchel has his own Diamond Pitch system which forces his player to make intense passes in between them.
Tuchel has an Ngolo and a Kante too
@@samsungsaracen its always an 11 against 10 lol
Tuchel is 3-0 against pep. I dont think they are the same.
@@awareness-mb5do Who said they are the same?
@@awareness-mb5do A head to head record doesn't mean someone is the better manager lol
Definitely Tuchel can be beaten. But we must understand that with Tuchel, it's not all about tactics. Tuchel also works on the mental strength of his players, their character on the pitch and their self confidence. This is beyond tactics. Listen to his post match conference against tot. He said he told the players to become more aggressive and win 50-50 duels. I think in addition to his tactical ingenuity he has built a good mindset in his players.
Teams that would try to exploit these weaknesses should also be cognisant of Tuchel's good in-game management.🤓 Recent examples being his wins against Nuno & Pep
Pep Be Like : Note That Down, Note that Down!
Winning or loosing on xG depends so much on when one team took the lead. Usually if say team A takes a lead against a team B early then, team B will usually end up having more XG than A because team B is forced to attack and team A might be happy enough to sit on their lead.
Spot on. The only way to know how a match really went is watching it. But xG is just the best rough estimate at the moment
idk how xG is calculated but if that's the case, it should be adapted to those situations if possible, like the more players defending in the box the less it's expected to be a goal
@@emanuelneagu14 mant xG models now factor defender and keeper positioning
@@FootballMadeSimple oh that's good to hear, thanks for letting me know
Team A can get more XG too by counterattacking more often when team B lose the ball while attacking
As a Chelsea fan I’m really glad we got Tuchel. Tactical masterclass and so much more. When he came to Chelsea I really didn’t think he would help us so much like helping us strengthen our defense, playing like a good team, knows tactics and obviously HELPING US WIN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE.
That escalated.
u were lucky with ucl u didnt face bayern
It's quite impressive how Tuchel improved Chelsea after coming in mid-season. From a neutral point of view, it seems like a very well-run football club, in and out of the field ⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽
its like watching peak-Mourinho of the mid 2000's
👍
love your content bruv 🔥
I hate to admit it, but there are very few teams capable of beating Tuchel's Chelsea tactically. They are immense defensively and not shabby at all going forward. 1 worry would be Lukaku being out, as he is a major part of their attack. Zenit were the best team that gave Chelsea a run for their money and could have had an equalizer with clinical finishing.
And he settled in at Chelsea in such a short while and managed to transform them from a side that could lose any game to a fortress that can't be taken down.
He knew how to set up his team in a way that brought out the best of the midfield an area Lampard struggled, made them defensively solid, attacking wise they used to win 1:0 when he first came in but now with Lukaku they are scoring 3 goals often
Vs Aston Villa I thought they were lucky not to concede coz their GK was on point and Villa were really hurting them on the counter
If Chelsea lose this weekend, we know who to blame😂
Nah we are winning and city fans will again crying
@@ctapuk3754 which fans🤣
I'm not a city fan but that joke is dead now
😂😂😂😂😂Exactly mate but Chelsea will win though
@@ctapuk3754 why don't you just enjoy your team's success and stop unnecessary shit like this
Only way you gon beat Chelsea is by matching their formation; controlling the midfield; and praying that Rudiger & Kante are injured or suspended.. other than that: it isn't going to be an easy game for you as a coach, especially with Kante on the pitch.
The real analysis
Matching it is definitely a good step but like united showed there alternatives even without directly matching
@@FootballMadeSimple and that's why it ended with a draw. If you gon "just" control the midfield and sacrifice attack. You still won't beat Chelsea.. they happy to draw.
You won't beat Chelsea with a front 2.. while they have a back 3 + wing backs.. nah not gon work.
@@FootballMadeSimple united is a joke. They don't know what they play at
Or they need heavy luck just like arsenal, leicester and porto
Underrated page.. the quality of analysis posted here is sooo underrated. Keep up the great work
Thanks mate!
True!
I wonder what influence Lukaku has made. Definitely feels like he can open up defenses and give openings to his team mates, even if he does not score himself.
The moment Lukaku receives the ball and turns his back all defenders shit their pants.
@@akwilson1676 Most defenders. Matip & van Dijk pocketed him, no issues.
@@ammarharith5512 Van Dijik still had a pretty hard time defending ifd you ask me.
@@ammarharith5512 not really. lukaku clashed against them both twice. Lukaku used his back against matip and turned around matip further linking up with mount which nearly resulted in a goal. He had 2 duels against Van dijk and in one of the duels Van dijk was on the ground. it was the Red card after which he was isolated!
@@akwilson1676 He's a bit rusty, but overall, not really got troubled by Lukaku.
This channel never made a how to beat a manager type video 😭🔥. Tuchel is so Goated, it's like watching Prime Jose Mourinho football 🐐🔥
Tuchel is too strong rn..He got too much time to hide his weaknesses
It's like he found a glitch in a game
I bet you won't be saying this one year from now.
@@dirkhamadziripi2793 Don't be a negative prick, just enjoy the football he is making them play
@@FootballMadeSimple Exactly, well said 🔥.
This was Chelsea were playing without Lukaku. Recently when watching your videos it shows how Chelsea has improved as a team since Lukaku started playing. Tuchel keeps learning his tactics improving in every aspect as game progresses like the Tottenham Hotspur game.
As a neutral football fans, from what i see so far:
Liverpool = high intensity, fast pace football
Man city = patience, possession and fluid football
Chelsea = compact, free-flowing, perfectly balance team
Spurs = defensively discipline, lightning speed counter-attack football
Variety of tactics and style in each team, making this season epl so exciting to watch :)
How about other teams like man utd, arsenal? I havent had the time to watch them all. If anyone have something to add, feel free to comment :)
"Arsenal the donut of sadness"😂

Arsenal once known for their "beautiful football".
Man Utd = vibes, giving it a real go and expressing yourself
@@douglaswalters2670 i kinda didnt understand that but its ok :) or do you mean their style are more to individual skill and flair attacking football?
@@quasar5657 I mean that Ole is a fraud who is out of his depth and overly reliant on individual brilliance to win games.
He is damn good in tactics 💙💙💙 and the main thing is that he uses different tactics in every game 🔥🔥💙
Another amazing analysis! If you are analyzing all what you say is just by yourself or you have a supporting team, it's very well done, and thank you for a bringing it here; great production as well. The timing is serendipitous as Chelsea is hosting MCI on Saturday Sept. 25. Probably a pivotal game for both as MCI was the first of four EPL home losses that Chelsea had last year.
I think Tuchel success so far are due to his flexibility and the quality of the players he has at his disposal. Every player in the squad most especially the Midfield to the attack bring something different. You play high up, you have a Werner (whose pacey and have a great off the ball movement-evident against MCL in Final and last EPL match against the Aston villa). You sit deep or press high up, a Lukaku come for hold up play and Long ball become the solution). A Ziyech (long overload), Pulisic (one on one and to draw fouls), KH provide second option striker on the pitch and good aerially.....am not saying chelsea is unbeatable but beating them is an hercule's task.
The only reason porto, leicester, arsenal beat Tuchel was just a fluke. You can see all of them scored lucky goal. Arsenal got goal from jorginho mistake, Leicester scored a banger and porto scored from corner
Not only that, but Chelsea had a bunch of shots hitting the posts or disallowed goals in those games too. Arsenal had 1 shot on target (the goal off a Jorginho blunder), so did Leicester in the FA cup win. The worse game has had to be to West Brom game where the team looked flat. Other draws Chelsea had were due to the inability to finish (Vs Real Madrid, Brighton, Southampton and etc.)
And yesterday?😂
I think pep found the way to bypass chelsea defence during their latest premier league encounter but his attackers were not clinical enough!! BTW great video mate!! #COYB!
Despite losing I think that City performance may have been the best against Tuchel's chelsea. What do you think?
@@FootballMadeSimple 100% true , especially how they conceded the first goal , our defence was exposed!
ye, Pep is smort boi
In that game both were with alternative teams i think, still a good game in tactical point of view, and you r right, city should end up with a 2-0 at the break
@@FootballMadeSimple Am still not sure that pep can reliably say he can beat Chelsea. If not that Jorginho was at that point or the team was unusually deep. City wouldn't have had a breakthrough. Tuchel complained that his team didn't keep up their aggressiveness. Any time Chelsea are able to get that on, I think it'd difficult for them to loose, that's why they couldn't lose against Liverpool despite it looking like the more likely option. Peps fullback were high which was a big risk. Beat that line , you're in
I am just happy we are forcing teams to change their formation/tactics rather than the other way round. We can catch teams playing in systems they are not well familiar with. Hail Tuchel!!
Still love my Super Frank tho
Excellent video , tuchel is great coach he will change tactics and bring substitutes at the right time , Seen many times , and Chelsea have a great squad ..now they have Lukaku up front gives more advantage
Your point ar 11:11 was spot on and exactly what I expected City to pick up on especially against players like Alonso. An overload is my biggest concern on those sides. Also when United push us wide and force a 3v2 after bypassing our wing backs and a CB assisting the press.
Exactly. If u watch the city vs chelsea league match last season, city did that a lot of times in the first half. They got a goal and a penalty from that tactic. But in the second half tuchel realised and change his tactics to prevent it.
The clips mostly used are from last season when Werner or Havertz usually played as a striker now Chelsea have Lukaku I don't see Chelsea missing as many chances so teams won't be as lucky to take 2 points from Chelsea and I genuinely don't think they will lose more than 3 games all season

Great video 👏
Reading Between the lines, This video highlights how Lukaku is and will be crucial for Tuchel's system. he gave the possibility to play long when Chelsea is pressed like Brighton did for example. His ball holding allows Mount and Kai(Werner) to use their speed to get out of the marking and also wing backs to progress higher on the pitch.
Really love your analysis man keep up the hard work
The most frightening think about all these is that all the managers know about this but they can't stop him,Pep explanation was perfect but you know what happen at the end .
With Lukaku upfront this time there options are so many direct goalkeeper pass to him can be a line breaking pass as he holds defenders in his back
Yo why you uploading this for Baldiola to use against my Chelsea?! 😂
I would say overloading the midfield is the best way to beat them since there’s only 2 midfield players if you have 4 or 5 different players in the midfield chelseas 2 midfield players will get overwhelmed but one thing that makes tuchel so great is that he can adapt to anything and everything that an opposing manager throws at him like against Tottenham he subbed on an extra midfield player to counter the overload. Another thing is that the wingbacks often push high so there can be space there for a quick counter and you can also maybe try to create 2v1 situations against the wingback but chelsea are usually very stable defensively but you will still probably get a good chance or 2 against them so I think the key is just converting your chances
pep did that (overload the midfield) in the champs final still lost and also mount and havertz can drop in the midfield to help or like you said with the wingbacks or sub another midfielder
It's better to overload the wide regiond since Chelsea only has one man there
@@de_struction58 yeah I just think peps only mistake in that final was not playing rodri or fernadinho because if he does that Chelseas goal doesn’t happen city created some chances but they just didn’t convert on them
@@chap5674 city 0 big chances created chelsea 3 in ucl final 😂😂😂
When you try overloading the mid Mount and Kai Havertz drop to the mid, the FBs push up to the mid to provide outlets
It's hard to press them rn
Wow. What an analysis and the effort that goes into this. And I like how you justify all your views with data to back em up. Keep it up man. It's a pleasure to follow you!
Don't be fooled mate 😜🙂. This was Chelsea without a strong CF. With Lukaku available now is a different ball game. But I love your videos man, very in-depth analysis
How to beat Tuchel last season and this season are very different questions.
Last season, the teams that beat Chelsea got a slice of luck. West Brom were playing against ten, Chelsea beat themselves against Arsenal, Leciesters goal could easily have been ruled out for a hand ball by Perez and Porto scored a worldy. Because Chelseas attack was so poor last season, not conceding gave clubs a platform to eek out wins.
But this season Chelsea have blown teams away whilst looking pretty poor. Getting 1 goal, as Arsenal, Leciester and Porto all did, and setting up to stifle Chelsea just doesn't sound like it will work this season.
@lunga lunga winning 3-0 is never lucky
Chelsea have more options with Lukaku and don't necessarily need to create a lot of chances. They can also switch methods if one isn't working.
I really fear when lukaku get injury. We don't really have a striker other than him.
I like ur analysis man.Can you do a preview for the man city- Chelsea game?
Chelsea have Always adapted and Evolved. they seem to be finding solutions for everything to keep them winning.
Big Sam is their only weakness
Can't dis agree with that
👏
Big Sam got an edge with a man down. There was a red card in the game and Chelsea team had not fully gelled when they played them.
@@safiibrahim1778 man down Leeds won against Man City, so it cannot be an excuse. Are there not enough examples of winning matches while being down of man?
Sometime in the next few weeks a team that is not expected to compete against Chelsea will beat them, and the blueprint will be laid bare. A team like Brentford, Norwich, Newcastle or Burnley for example. It's all part of the beautiful game.
Well none of them won against Chelsea.......
And when kante came in it’s a different game 12 vs 11
Pep Guardiola is downloading this video.
Your videos change the way I view football as a Manchester United fan I am happy I subscribe to this channel thank you "FMS". :-)
Bro you see now. We actually lost 😔
Football made simple thanks for explaining, just little recommendations , I think it is better to use GIFs than you using pictures, so we can understand the positioning easily
There are some inconsistencies in what you are showing. Now with Lukaku , yes , Chelsea defends starting with a 2 2 up top, but with Werner up top that form as showing at 10:52 it's clearly 3 up to and quite aggressive.
Furthermore with rudiger argument, that's only partially true.yes sometimes they do that, but sometimes they feed the Ball to a Kovacic or Mount or Havertz type of player that can beat the high press by Simply turning with an opponent on their back and then exploiting the space behind.Kovacic is especially doing this. Even Kante does it.
The 3 defenders + 2 holding midfielders build-up are extremely hard to press against
Especially when you have a press resistant pivot in jovacic
@@Workaholic07 and two wingbacks hugging the touchline as well.
Love your videos man. Can you please do a video on the potential partnership of Timo Werner and Lukaku and why tuchel may favour that partnership in the future for the majority of his games. Especially since the chemistry of havertz and mount isn't working so far.
Hey not to be pessimistic about your work or anything I love what you're doing and I think you've reached the pinnacle of what you do in terms of tactical video analysis on UA-cam. Your videos are very concise and accurate.
However, I would like to see you make tactical analysis videos on recent real Madrid games.
i think teams look to drag the wide cb out(mostly azpi) to expose his lack of pace but thats when the main cb(thiago or christensen) have really shown their capabilities as a defender by winning a lot of 1-on-1's with pacey wingers. Also like we saw in the spurs match, overloading the midfield can lead to some positive transitions but it's really hard to keep that kind of pressure up for the entire match and it also can disrupt the shape of the team with a few long switches to either flanks.
Well Chelsea now have a new way to break teams down , with Lukaku hold up play .. Which is a huge advantage
I only see Man City, Liverpool, Aston Villa(even though they just trashed them on silly mistakes), and maybe Leeds beating this Chelsea team in PL.....let me throw in ManU too that's my team. Man city can cause overload in any area of the pitch but just not clinical enough, Liverpool got that front 3/midfield 3 press that gave them trouble and Aston villa's formation matchup is identical and ManU just prayers
@lunga lunga fr!! a man down for 45minutes
Kante is a significant piece to tuchel's success so far. The guy singlehandedly carries the midfield and holds the midfields. He is like extra 2 players and outclass 3 midfield teams
Tuchel follows a very simple and effective system . While defending , CFC creates a back 5 with Alonso Rudiger Christensen Azpilicueta Reece , then stands Jorghino as the anchor . This allows Kante to put pressure without having to think about a failed press . When kante wins the ball there's always 2 AM standing right up front along with CF to create a quick counter attack. With the quality player CFC has , their counterattack is lethal . While attacking , CFC creates a back 2 of Christensen and Azpilicueta with Rudiger having the freedom to move up and win the ball as high as center of the field . Meanwhile , Alonso and Reece becomes wingers to stretch out the opponent , the 2 AM and ST operate in and around the D with Jorghino and Kante/Kova positioned as CAM .
When CFC defends it's hard to breach them , coz as I pointed out they use 5 at the back with Jorghino as a deep lying pivot , remember the Liverpool game . But during Attack CFC is quite vulnerable coz apart from Christensen and Azpilicueta there's no one at the back and Rudiger positions himself almost like a CM/CDM with the rest of the team high up the field looking to score. This is where they can be broken , If a team has a quick counter attacking Wingers with an astute CF . The only thing the opponent has to do is sit back , soak in the press and when the chance comes , win the ball , use the CF to draw rudiger who's now in an almost CM position and then through the ball to the 2 pacey Wingers . This is why I feel PSG has a chance to break down CFC , if they can somehow manager to soak in the pressure and use Mbappe Neymar and Messi as front 3 . Neymar will be the one to draw Rudiger , who will eventually feed it to either of Messi or Mbappe . Once through , it's gonna end up as a goal coz under no chance the rest of the team will have time to retreat .
Stop waisting your time. Rudiger will get him down.

Why Chelsea is hard to stop is because Tuchel is not bound by system. Chelsea has a base formation (343), and can adapt into multiple formations to neutralise any opponent. Tuchel can switch formations 10mins into a match without using a substitution and often uses up to 3 different variations per match.

Tuchel is a great manager, tactician and coach but he is also excellent in in-game management. All this examples are from last season when chelsea dont have lukaku, now they are much more stronger
Fantastic stuff ....you guys are the best!
Not easy to defeat tuchel, he is genius coach. Many tactic from him
Very true, he probably has back up tactics for these scenarios by now
@@FootballMadeSimple Very true. A manager who knows whats wrong and how to solve the problem right away. look at how he changed the spurs game
@@FootballMadeSimple it's not just tactics. Tuchel believes in individual problem solving skills. He makes puzzles to help his players adapt to unfamiliar situations. You can check how he explains his philosophy in past interviews
Pep: "This is what I was looking for!"
Also need to realize that chelsea have Lukaku now... So the long out ball is another key for us now.... This was a big issue with chelsea before..
Taking Westbrom's game, Chelsea had a man down, they were preparing for Porto and the coach was still new and didn't plan to play with man down
Secondly, Chelsea now have Lukaku who is capable of playing with his back to create chances for team mates
Thirdly, Chelsea have a monster in goal by the name Mendy who hasn't conceded a goal in open play this season..so most of these tactics won't work
What else is he supposed to work with? Lukaku came in to the side very recently and the only big game they played since, they were down to ten and thus obviously played a very conservative game
His defense is well packed. But one can easily find gaps around his midfield. I guess a team like BvB with a strong and fast centre forward might prove challenging to Chelsea.
Good work! Keep it up
He's so unbeatable never seen a manager like that
I have pep,jose mourinho and zidane in champions league
are you a new fan or something
Hansi flick also had such a season
Never seen a manager who has won the champions League play 9 defensive players at home
chelsea fans gonna hate you now. you post this then they lose at home... what a lad
Do you want to do video about Brighton, I think that could be interesting, because they have a very good choach. Plus they have very high average possesion per match. PS. sorry for my english
Tuchel have plan b, he tried 433 & 424 formation in league cup mactches. & you are talking about last season's tactics but this season chelsea have lukaku too.
Very well done tactical analysis 👏🏾
Wonderfully explained!!
Great analysis.....but Chelsea now have a better 9 who can also hold up play....so they can now beat the press in a better way.
3-5-2 is the meta in Euro 2016, used by Wales and Italy, they look unstoppable
Hes a great manager that respect every player in his squad . im a liverpool fan too
I love your channel, surely pep has to see this tactics, why didn't you became a coach, you are really good mate😘🤩
Tuchel main issues have never really been tactics but dealing with personnel, having good relationship with players. I always thought he would do well in a team that took away or significantly curbed his personnel decisions and just let him focus on tactics and preparations. I always thought with the way Chelsea structure is, board decides on most transfers but allowing for some flexibility for manager requests, it was perfect spot for him.
Excellent work my brother , i think the analysis you did was great and that time Chelsea wasn't playing with a proper Number 9 and now they have a proper Number 9 in Lukaku who also brings alot of gifts box in him to this current Chelsea team. Again very very Excellent nice presentation.💙💙💙💙💙🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🙏🙏🙏🙏
Very true, I felt I didn't have enough data points to fully talk about the difference now with Lukaku
Are you going to make a video about Juventus vs Chelsea and the brilliant adaptation from allegri ?
Now they can also put a wild cross in the box for Lukaku to finish.
terrific concept!
Pls can do a pre analysis on this weekend game for Arsenal vs Spurs and Chelsea vs City..
Of course for the moment is very hard to get a Win from Chelsea.But I think if Hansi Flick would have been in charge at Bayern his tactical flexibility and high press would have caused lots of problems for this team. It would have been a fantastic match to watch but no team is unbeatable as we saw last year PSG knocked out Bayern.
In my opinion, only Bayern Munich and PSG have attacking capabilities that can get through Chelsea's defense. However, seeing that Bayern has a much more well-rounded squad, I would put my money on Bayern to win Chelsea.
Pep Guardiola liked your video👀
Job done👍🏼
You are literally the best tactical youtube channel. You should defo try to become a manager
I think Chelsea is in peak form like Liverpool and Man City in previous years, they are tactically flawless, they are strong in every phase of the game and the Tuchel system is very flexible and able to adapt to the opponent's plan. On the fingers of one hand, you can count matches when the opponent had a greater xG.
Personally, I think the only way to beat Chelsea is to deprive them of high possession by pressing high. It's a high-risk strategy, but waiting in lowblock and counting on counterattacks seems naive to Chelsea counterpress, stop counterattacks and how many situations creates. Liverpool did it quite well in the last game, but I would try Atalanta or Hellas manmarking system (it is distinguished by blocking the central penetration option). No matter if you are defending high or low, to avoid getting outplayed by Chelsea you must block half-spaces so that Mount and Havertz cannot get a pass between the lines.
I think this season we will see two ways to play against Chelsea. The first, a waiting in lowblock like Zenit, blocking zone 14, forcing Chelsea play to the wingbacks and crossing. Second, high pressure to force Chelsea to side passes, long balls and a more transitional game, something like Liverpool first half and Tottenham first half.
Winning & losing are part of the game , at one point I remember Liverpool were just unable to beat & they were scary , Chelsea's on that Lead & once City was like that. City's biggest Problem is the striker position & the reason they lost many times. Ofcourse sometimes players don't perform expectedly so eventually a team loses or when the opposition are just too good on the given day. Chelsea are on a good run now but I always see'em struggle against Small teams that Hold the backs , Chelsea's Playstyle is one can often see in Bundesliga & for a premier league team that always creates a Problem. Even teams in Ligue 1 are playin the way Bundesliga has been Playin. That's Tight Press & Play on 2-3 players & then a Through or a Long Ball. Teams that like Possesion "City & Liverpool in P.L" they suffer when a lot of their players leave the defensive zones for the build ups. To win Against Them ? Play a low back & never let them go anywhere , Mids Must have 1 Dribbler like Messi & to get the ball out. PSG against Chelsea will be a very good Match imo if it ever happens.
You are smoking 😂😂😂😂
aston villa vs chelsea in the prem this season was interesting. Villa pretty much went man for man pressing and that caused chelsea problems. AVFC played well in that game but poor defending cause the 3-0 scoreline.
Became a FIFA champion because of your analysis. Great work
Your level of scrutiny about this sport is insane 🔥
Pep and Max went through this video and wrote everything down.
Hmm. The title is kind of exaggerating Chelsea's capabilities a bit.
I think people are overrating Chelsea nowadays. By the stats they have on understat, it shows that actually Chelsea is EQUAL to Brentford in terms of chance created and shots from opponent.
Also let this sink in, Liverpool have 6 more xG than Chelsea while City only have 2.86 xG from shots to their goal. (That's 4 less than Chelsea), and they are actually overperforming so they might have been living on a borrowed time now. While Lukaku is obviously a great striker, his finishing ability is actually not as good as people think and if he's denied service, he'd be useless, and there's still low-confidence Werner in the mix.
I think the reason people hyped Chelsea so much is that because of 'Tuchel wins his UCL in first year' thing. They are obviously not a bad team, but people really overrate them, they still have long times to go, copy Klopp's Liverpool achievement or Pep's Barca or Man City centurion, then they'll deserve this kind of title.
As a Chelsea fan this is very interesting and informative.
Great job 👍
Suggestion : Why Pochettino is making spaces in Midfield...Can we argue that the Game of Psg is pochettino Tactical Fault or Brilliance..
Can you make a Video of PSG tactics After Messi's Arrival..The game is really frustrating me??
Potter is sooo underrated as a manager. One of the top clubs will surely snap him up sooner rather than later. Spurs bottled it in the summer as usual 🤦♀️
I want him at Manchester United
Oh my God, West Bromwich's 5-5-0 still traumatize me to this day.
fr 🥲
Big Sam is too dangerous for European football. He should be kept away from UCL at all cost! 😩
Just one question... how did you get the matches again??
Now with Lukaku, Chelsea have the added threat in attack to hold up the ball and play it into one of the overlappers.
Do an analysis of
Bayern vs barca
I would love to see that
I will try using this kinds of tactics on fifa 22!
