Sammy3469 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 1 minute ago, Ramsay Hunt Experience said: I listened to the Chelsea game on the radio. Very little that Chelsea created came from anything but the Chillwell/Pulisic combination on the left. Part of me wonders if CP is really that much better on the left or if Cihillwell is just a more reliable partner than James. It was Azulpulca today, but the point stands. The RB position is sort of bad for them and doesn't get as advanced as Chillwell. When you couple that with a MF who tends to want to hold. the ball (one of Kante, Kova, or Jorginho) the right side ends up being static and highly predictable. Mount hasn't been great on the left either, but he can at least form the triangles with Chillwell/CP. When Havertz came on he gave them some dynasticism in the MF, so maybe if he gets back into the rotation, some of this will go away. But if you are going to play a 4-3-3; you need both those outside backs to be good and they aren't right now. This is a team that needed Swag and Dest.

They don’t appear to have a ready-made replacement at CB in the Academy yet. Brendan Craig can play CB but he’s super young and probably not physically ready for MLS yet much less CCL. I would expect Glesnes and Elliott to start and Ernst to sign CB depth from overseas. At the 10, ideally you want Paxten Aaronson to take over long-term plus continued improvement from Anthony Fontana. They also have Jack DeVries who got some minutes last year in the mix. Union fans always clamor for a DP striker or 10, we’ll see if they take some of the $12-$15M transfer kitty and invest it in the first team. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergi Roberto is still hurt and he is the only other RB really. If they play a 3-5-2, like today, the only options wide are more attacking players like Dembele/Trincao.

These kids seem to really want to be a part of what is happening. I have no idea how much, if any GGG is adding to the process but it is clear he is not hurting it either. If GGG lands one of Musah/Balogun and helps a super young team qualify for 2022, it is going to rank really high for me on single cycle coaching stints. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that statement holds true, it opens up some different thoughts since we would not need Gio to play on the wing any more.

Clearly there is no target striker in this set up so hold up play is not going to be on the table and we will have to build an attack on the ground, but with the skill level all over the field, they should be able to achieve that style. Watching the McKenzie highlights again really makes my mouth water in regards to this point. Having 3 players like Adams, Brooks and McKenzie all be able to make a mid length, line breaking pass means that no team can just remove the one distributor of the ball. * I like that this keeps the strong triangle of Weston, Musah and Adams together. If Musah does not join the party, Owen looks like he might be a decent fit here. Weston and Musah both are good enough two way players that they will help break down bunkers and also provide a strong defense against the better teams. * The X will likely be a battle royal between Miazga, McKenzie, Long, and Richards, may the best man win.

NewlyRetired Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I saw an interesting take on Twitter that makes me wonder about 2022. We are around 2 years from the WC. Look at how much has changed since 2018ish. Dest was in the second division in Holland. Gio and Musah were still in the academy. Adams and Steffen were in MLS, as well as Richards who was yet to play a minute. Pulisic and Weston were both with German clubs. It makes you wonder how much could be different 2 years from now that would make us rethink things in terms of the lineup? It feels like the lineup today almost chooses itself when every one is healthy but the likelihood of todays obvious lineup being the same as late 2022's lineup is probably small.

NewlyRetired Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Damn are we close to stacked at RB (at least relative to our normal depth). I don't even rate Yedlin that much and the guy has over a 100 games in the EPL... The most stacked any position I could remember was Friedel, Keller and Meola all playing at the same time together at keeper. There is a chance RB could surpass this if Reynolds hits.
