Faes and Vetstagaard walked to the halfway line and did the same just higher up and in more congested areas. We had plenty of chances to open up teams that played these tactics if the defence played the ball out quickly. Not long ball but a quick pass to wingers waving their arms unmarked in space. Instead they repeated the same pattern of play over and over getting the same result. Wouldn't have made no difference what so ever, if the team comes to defend which most teams do when playing teams at the top of the league then what else can do we, wingers waving there hands wtf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_favourite Posted 1 June Share Posted 1 June Anyone else now sick of the press banging on about this and seeing Enzo's face everywhere. The press know the contract, they're talking about the signings he'll make and tactics when technically he's still a LCFC manager until the club officially announced it. Just getting bored of seeing his face on my news feeds, apps...just get it to the official stage so everyone can move on and we can plan for next season as soon as possible 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You haven't factored in the complete system change and how long it will take them to adapt. I already read something about him not letting Enzo F go to the Olympics as he sees him as the key cog in his system so needs him to do a full preseason with the squad.

Terraloon Posted 3 June Share Posted 3 June The strange thing for me is that so many claim they hated his style, despised his approach and felt there was no plan b yet seem to be so bitter he seems to be moving on. Strange really shouldn’t they be celebrating? Someone started a thread the other day along the lines that there is no loyalty in football nowadays. Other than the odd player, the very very odd HC or manager there really hasn’t ever been. Most in truth want the biggest buck they can earn or want to play or manage/ coach at the highest level their abilities allow. Will he succeed at Chelsea? None of us have a clue ? Will he play the in the same style ? Time will tell but the players he is inheriting are by and large younger, certainly faster and many technically superior that will make a difference Time to simply move on accepting that money talks and simply accept that if Chelsea go after a player a manager the chances are they will get him just like if Leicester want a player a HC they, Leicester, won’t think twice about the impact of that persons current club the focus is fully on what’s good for Leicester. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, gotta agree with Nick on this one. These players will adapt quite quickly to how Maresca wants them to play, I suspect. And as much as I think they got on well with Poch, they’ll be ok with Enzo. I see they are probably in for McAtee. Typical ‘Enzo’ type player that one. Chelsea could have a good season unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why a full pre season is so important but Enzo not going to the Olympics was from what I read made weeks ago and certainly from what I read about Chelsea’s off field structure won’t have been Poch or indeed any potential HCs decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is meticulous, will carry on doing his long days and will learn everything about everyone so they will love him. He has all preseason and it’s a team of internationals and players who have played in many setups. Their shiniest superstar has already played under him at city. It’s not going to take them long to adapt. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AjcW Posted 3 June Share Posted 3 June I think it's probably slightly overstated how involved Tod is. I don't think Poch would of lasted 5 minutes if he was as controlling as he supposedly is. Think it's just a good line for the media to spin as everyone laps it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo saved Justin's and Ricardo's careers by using them thr way he did. I'm not sure either have the resilience to play that way any longer and not in the PL. So we could possibly need 2-3 new full backs, to go with needing 3 new CM's, at least 1 new CB, 2 wingers and a striker. Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of those spaces have already gone, lets be honest, considering how good Manchester City and Arsenal are. It then depends on how Liverpool are under new management and if Manchester United improve. It could be a good time to go to Chelsea in that regards. I would think that Villa will tail off, maybe top 6 but not top 4 again. But hopefully Chelsea fail and don't finish top 6, let alone top 4.

Gonna be a real tough ask for the smaller clubs that have qualified for Europe. 8 league games and then if you finish between 9th and 24th you'll have to play an extra 2 qualifying legs to make it to the last 16. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All done and dusted today I imagine. We probably still have no clue who we are really after but I imagine it will be some sort of exponent of possession based nonsense. If we have an ounce of sense it will be someone who can also handle the Championship. I have the feeling our decline hasn’t ended yet and we will need several miracles to avoid relegation. It’s possible and stranger things have happened. Edited 3 June by ARM1968 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem will be all the other top earning players who won't get a look in. And then there is rest of the basketcase club that will see clashes of egos and personalities. Its not going to be easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
