GWT: PL Matchweek (mostly) 34

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Anjorin is on the bench.

Could play Havertz or Ziyech there though, not their ideal position but they can do it. Abraham is on the bench and could have played as the striker.

Anjorin plays further forward. Havertz or Ziyech there is a recipe for disaster, neither is good enough defensively. The issue with Mount there is that it wastes him - with the others the issue would be defensive liability.

Sure they are a defensively liability back there, but we're playing with 3 centerbacks and 2 wingbacks against Fulham. How many players do we need to keep behind the ball and how conservative do we need to be in a game against a relegation side? It's a very negative approach.

morning!!

 

[Peen]

reading back tour discussion and playing reece in the double pivot still seems the obvious temporary solution to me instead of dropping mount deep

Fulham pressing really high and aggressively so far, and we need to adjust and start playing some more direct balls.

 

[Peen]

that was a goal. great save by mendy

Finally, we play a ball long and get a great counter chance.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Mount should honestly just shoot that

 

[Blender]

Havertz!!

f***ing brilliant by Mount.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Mason Mount is the best player in Premier League history

 

[Peen]

Hes so good but was he offside on the initial long ball? seemed tight

Not even close, miles on

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Unbelievable first touch to bring that ball down by Mount.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Can we back up just to observe how good the pass from Silva was? Obviously Mount's touch was a worldly, but it was a gorgeous pass

They were pressing with 5 guys high, so happy we finally started passing over the top and that one was beautiful.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Definitely looked offside, but another brilliant bit of play

 

[Blender]

Way offisde, but another great play by Mount.

Was also really cleverly taken by Havertz. If he holds his run, he still gets in behind there I reckon.

Yea he just need to be more aware of the line there, because the space was there to score obviously.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Super intrigued by this Chelsea shape. Mount and Ziyech are basically playing free roles in front of Gilmour

It's more of a 3-1-4-2 than a 3-4-3 that we normally play.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

WOW what a save

 

[Blender]

Incredible save there.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Ziyech looks amazing today, wow

 

[Blender]

Massive save by Mendy, that was a dangerous one.
