Exactly my thoughts.. Maresca's wrong game selection cost us 3 points against Everton.. Palmer had a stinker and Felix just on the bench, Gusto should have played his RB where he knows how to play and Veiga should have played LB...
No he was fine at being a full back, but my god his attacking was horrible. Made all 3 Sancho, Palmer, Enzo Fernandez looked terrible in that whole game. Miss Cucu so bad.
"Why didn't Felix come on against Everton?". Well, you said it exactly why, "he does the flicks, and tricks and nutmegs". Thats all he is good for, he has no end product and always loses the ball trying to do too much by himself, that could have cost us a goal.
The Everton game simply showed how critical cucurella is to this Maresca system, I don't know if anyone has noticed that we don't have a "backup LB" for some reason Maresca doesn't trust Viega there, he has played Gusto and Reece there in Cucu's absence in EPL games
@@Siphokdog arsenal were just shit when attacking and Liverpool would beat them without a red by 4 goals and even with a red they could beat them last min
Playing w/ the defensive line more than the attack is wild! (Attack is always more effective with change whereas defense takes time and ideally you have staples/greats in the defensive line to allow for experimentation.) We don’t have that just yet.
Fulham exactly the kind of opponents you need right now. Tough & can punish sloppy play, but not top drawer. I been saying for years any good manager would give his right arm to have a squad like yours. Potter & Poch were false starts, Maresca at least looks like he happy to be there & has a plan. Time to show what you all can do.
It’s amazing how the perspective of Cucurella has changed in this Chelsea team. He was sorely missed against Everton because he’s the key to unlocking Sancho
Palmer, Christo and Felix behind Jackson would be interesting to see. Palmer has been getting outnumbered in the 10, giving the Fulham defence 2 other technical players to worry about could open up more spaces
The major problem from the last game was that our wingers were completely marked out the game. Each time Sancho or Neto got the ball they were always double marked, we needed to have peeling off runs. If our wingers get marked out the game it's a dead game
As much as I like Maresca, I think he has managed the premier league squad like a very small squad. His inability to utilize our numerous forward players. I think Maresca isn't a bold Manger. That's why we could not change d game against Everton. I think we have so many players upfront to change our style of play as was needed against Everton
@Siphokdog Yea I agree. It's why most in the fanbase give him a pass and overall the team is doing well. But if we get to a difficult period, he had to learn to utilize his squad. I think he should be doing it better now we in a good phase to prepare for the rough phase that will be inevitable sometime in the future
This is true but this is also because our "depth" is actually that good, let's be real here, yes we're doing well this season but majority of the so called "depth or B team" are shit and should never have been signed in the first place and Maresca is smart enough to realize this
I would like to see Felix start against Fulham. Remember He use to dribble pass Fulham players for fun when Chelsea signed him on loan in the 2021/22 season but he got a red card in that game. Hopefully he start this game and play a full 90 minutes to see what he was going to do against Fulham without getting a red card.
Merry Christmas to you too. Am dreaming of a scenario where Palmer, Nkunku and Felix start in one of these games. Cucurella is back good. I agree with you about bringing Guiu on if Jackson is not performing
As much as I hope our young guys come through strong in defense, I still do think we need a good, experienced head back there that can help guide these young guys. I think my top choice in the Premier League that is somewhat realistic to get would be Dias if either the 115 removes them from the league or if they need to sell to avoid punishment. If not a defender, then I'd say push for Alisson. I know it's unlikely, but he would be brilliant for Maresca's system, and he brings great leadership.
Nkunku is not working because the way we're using him upfront. Diaz has been playing upfront for a couple of times this season and it has been working fine.
Sometimes, I wish in games as congested as Everton Maresca would swap the wingers. Sanch on the right, neto on the left to hold the width and go on the outside. Obviously, Enzo has his reasons, but surely they could swap for 10 mins to try something different in games when they're quiet anyway.
We need a world class striker in January... The chance to get one for 62 Million like oshimen doesnt come often, i hear alot of talk about we need a backup striker for jackson from you mattise someone like delap or a striker of that calibre, The thing is Jackson is the backup striker to A Gunman Like A Victor Oshimen, Oshimen is a Deadly Striker ontop that we need with that edge to take us to the next level he is a Title winner. GET HIM IN NEXT MOTNTH
@@mikiastesfaye9967 I isnt simple but we have to be ruthless, Jackson isnt that Deadly Striker uptop that we need in order to push in the champions leage next year and win titles, Oshiment is that Deadly Striker we need in order to move to another level
@@PedroNeves-hm5xm Thank You one thing we don't have on top right now also is a target man, Oshimen gives this team an entirely different Dimension, he is like 6'2 and deadly in the air
What I would like to see is Nico Jackson drop down, so it's kind of a false 9 sort of area, and then he links up to a four pronged triangle, which will be Palmer, Enzo and Caicedo.
Our coach keeps on saying Nkunku is not a striker but every time he subs him on, he puts him there because he doesn't want to take Palmer out. I don't understand why Palmer is given special treatment. 🤦♂️ for me I think Guiu is ready that boy is a better finisher than Jackson so playing him 30 20 or 10 minutes would make sense to me
With palmer being marked out, defo gotta try joao in the pocket too, need more threat. Cucurella being out was a big miss, we need to make a big decision in jan about andrey santos, lavia isnt reliable
Bro! It wasn't becuz of Gusto we drew the game, I understand LB is bit his greatest strength, but Everton was very stubborn and they didn't allow Palmer to express himself. The entire team was off on vacation and we need to Be more ruthless vs Fulham which is another difficult match.
Anyone else know it’ll be a good vid so like before it even starts and then watch it? Blessings and prayers to you this new year coming, May your family be blessed with nothing but good health, success and love.
Season Greetings to all. Would like to see Felix and Madueke support Jackson. I believe that a strike should come on for another sticker. Give Guiu a late start.
@@jakks2089 yeah I'm a Chelsea fan and if you are too then you will know Jackson was 5th quickest in Chelsea history to score 20 goals. Respect Chelsea history✍️
And you guys saying gusto didn’t work needs to be explained. In the game against Everton, Gusto inverted into 2 different roles at several occasions in the game. He first inverted into half space from his starting position in the first half and then in the second half paired Caicedo in the pivot pushing Enzo forward into the half space. So stop using a wide brush to describe Gusto. And sorry it’s false to say Gusto is having a bad season. That’s patently false. He has had good games counter pressing, and defending turnovers with his good recovery pace. The balance he provides is exactly why plays. He may not be efficient in attacking phases but that’s only aspect of his role and shouldn’t define him. And please again we don’t play traditional full backs in Maresca’s system. You of all people should know that.
I will say Neto at Left Wing and Madueke at right. Sancho robs too much cream on the ball. We need to see wingers that put pressure on the opponents defense and have the ability to put in those balls into the box
Cucurella LB, Gusto RB and Tosin and Levi as CB. There is a case for Josh and Guiu to play half an hour each. Also we could sub Palmer with Felix after 60 mins if he is quiet again. We should start with Neto and Madueke. And Sanco can come in later. Hopefully we will get early goals and keep a clean sheet. That would be a perfect Christmas gift. KTBFFH💙💙 and a happy Christmas to all 🎄🎅
if neto starts I'm starting to doubt top 4 1 goal in how many games bro when madueke played shit everyone begged for him to be dropped i don't see much people saying neto bench
Gusto on the left and disasi at RB was terrible management on Sunday totally unbalanced the team the manager must start to believe more in the talent at the club , josh, George, felix etc
PALMER WELCOME TO THE BENCH FELIX GOT THIS YOU'VE BEEN CHEEKS PAST GAMES JUST BE A FAN ON BOXING DAY FELIX ABOUT TO RAILROAD FULHAM LOADING.................
Gusto at LB should never happen again. We have seen it against Liverpool and Everton and it failed. Justice for Joao Felix
He's overall not good at going forward. His crosses are dreadful
Exactly my thoughts.. Maresca's wrong game selection cost us 3 points against Everton.. Palmer had a stinker and Felix just on the bench, Gusto should have played his RB where he knows how to play and Veiga should have played LB...

I see a Matisse vid, I click! Simple🐐
Calm down mate he won’t shag you
Me too,bro his ball knowledge alone and mind for Chelsea is just top tier !
💯💯
@@Hamzino I get on youtube and search “MAH” bro we not the same
@@TribalChief-w8v blud laughed when we were linked with Duran and Samu. What knowledge are u talking about exactly?
Felix can dribble and cause chaos or get a penalty. We should have used him against Low blocks like Everton
100% agreed.
"Why didn't Felix come on against Everton?". Well, you said it exactly why, "he does the flicks, and tricks and nutmegs". Thats all he is good for, he has no end product and always loses the ball trying to do too much by himself, that could have cost us a goal.
The Acheampong/Guiu train is picking up steam, love to see it.
Merry Christmas to you Matisse and all the Chelsea supporters watching.
We have to simplify Gusto's role and Felix needs to play more imo.....this is the time to utilise the "depth"
Agree Guiu should be sub for Jackson, not Nkunku
disrespect
The Everton game simply showed how critical cucurella is to this Maresca system, I don't know if anyone has noticed that we don't have a "backup LB" for some reason Maresca doesn't trust Viega there, he has played Gusto and Reece there in Cucu's absence in EPL games
Nkunku and Felix needs to start this game
the question is where
Nkunku is already looking to leave unfortunately
Did I just hear Cucurrela the Nigerian penguin 😂😂
I expect us to beat Fulham since they lost ESR, Nelson, Andersen, Sander Berge, Tete and Lukic
They are still a tricky team. Draw against both Liverpool and Arsenal.
are they all injured?
@@Siphokdog arsenal were just shit when attacking and Liverpool would beat them without a red by 4 goals and even with a red they could beat them last min
Playing w/ the defensive line more than the attack is wild! (Attack is always more effective with change whereas defense takes time and ideally you have staples/greats in the defensive line to allow for experimentation.) We don’t have that just yet.
Facts but with Cucu keeps getting suspended and Fofana's injury history we will need to keep tweaking the backline.
Fulham exactly the kind of opponents you need right now. Tough & can punish sloppy play, but not top drawer.

I just bought the jacket and away kit cost me 300 US dollars
Facts no more gusto on the left
@Nehe780 we win that game with veiga playing there him as a right back neto didn't have any help

@TheFrede2300 Agree overall but some of the options we have in the attack can help the team but are not being used

Lateness is greatness. Merry Christmas Matisse. Big ups for all the work youve done in 2024
We have to accept the fact that Maresca doesn't view as us fans, that's why Gusto keeps inverting and Felix never plays in the Prem
Word on the street is that Benzema personally is scouting them out

Getting rid of Jackson from the first team has a lot of negatives which will also affect Palmer. It's not that simple.

Just goes to show that no matter what the plan is if the players don't perform even the coach looks bad.
What I would like to see is Nico Jackson drop down, so it's kind of a false 9 sort of area, and then he links up to a four pronged triangle, which will be Palmer, Enzo and Caicedo.
Didn’t realise the new kit was leaked that looks class plus maybe the Qatar or Riyadh airways sponsor
Love the channel Matisse, have a lovely Christmas. 🎄

I don't understand why Palmer is given special treatment. 🤦♂️ for me I think Guiu is ready that boy is a better finisher than Jackson so playing him 30 20 or 10 minutes would make sense to me
I think Mike Penders is ready, that guy is a game changer
With palmer being marked out, defo gotta try joao in the pocket too, need more threat. Cucurella being out was a big miss, we need to make a big decision in jan about andrey santos, lavia isnt reliable
It seems everyone has forgotten about Alfie Gilchrist.

Jackson should have scored two easy goals. We may need a striker
Season Greetings to all. Would like to see Felix and Madueke support Jackson. I believe that a strike should come on for another sticker. Give Guiu a late start.
I still think Nkunku has not gotten enough time to prove himself.. we have to be fair to him..
Gusto as a lb and disasi as rb cost us 2 points. I will even play acheampong above disasi at rb if james and gusto are not available
Matise this year has been cold😮💨
Jackson is not Chelsea football club level, sorry.
He came to the club at 12th and now we are 2nd. He also scores every other game. Your throat burns every time he scores. Tough 9 years left for you.
@@lyakoftheleaf Yep. It's gonna be tough watching him missing sitters, in cup finals especially! You're a true Chelsea fan I see 😂
@@jakks2089 yeah I'm a Chelsea fan and if you are too then you will know Jackson was 5th quickest in Chelsea history to score 20 goals. Respect Chelsea history✍️

I will say Neto at Left Wing and Madueke at right. Sancho robs too much cream on the ball. We need to see wingers that put pressure on the opponents defense and have the ability to put in those balls into the box
We don’t play full backs. Can’t you guys understand that. Gusto plays either an inverted role or a RCB role.

Maresca should play felix and palmer together
Cucurela is the captain now
Gusto should never play in the inverted position
Madueke to start , Netto for Sancho.
Cucu's back. No more changes in starting 11.
Play Palmer on the right sometimes and put Felix in the 10 position..
Felix needs to play. I don't want to see Noni and Nkunko again.
The GOAT MATISSE🐐💙🇯🇲💙
I can see disasi leleading in January and we getting Jonathan tah .

Big UP YOUR DAMN SELFS!!🎉❤
I don't think Sancho and Neto will start this game. They're returned from injury recently.

Acheanpong is preferred to Gusto
I can see disasi leleading in January and we getting Jonathan tah
Felix as a LW
We need joa felix. Justice for felix

How about what Jackson is paid to do... put the ball in the back of the net? He isn't in the same universe as Nkunku at scoring!

I would play Felix in the lw
Nkunku over Jackson ALL DAY LONGGG
Are you crazy
@seandre59 fine
Gusto is not very good in defense in offense he definitely is poor to play up front next to Palmer.
Mah in persian means moon
Enzo shud not make Palmer feel prioritised over other players, wen his havin stinker take him off.. he will stop working hard.
Born guehi😂😂 get Jonathan tah
