>>62998774>Nothing to do with that, it's that he doesn't have a philosophy beside defend deep and counter.I didn't watch the game today (or the CL game), but Chelsea this season is not playing like this in the other matches.
They have a high defensive line and they have no counter attack. Their offensive players, other than Willian look unable to counter attack. It is all about short, inefficient passes while the opposing defense reconstructs.
IMO, the problem with Chelsea is that the team is badly constructed.
Mourinho, his defense and Matic would work better in a defend deep, counter attack way.
And yet, they try to play Tiki Taka,
Here is what I would do:
Begovic
Ivanovic - Terry - Cahill - Azpi
Matic - RLC
Fabregas or Oscar
William ---- Hazard (or Pedro/Kennedy)
Costa
Defend deep
Everyone helps the defense
High speed transitions with fast counter attacks by William/Hazard on the wings or long passes from Fabregas to Costa.
