Stability vs Reaction - Balance is 🔑

On one 🖐, we need stability in personnel for chemistry (in particular, defence) .

On the other 🖐, we need players to be held accountable if they make mistakes/ form dips.

Hopefully Frank finds the right balance soon! 🤞🙏.

There has to be coach in charge of defence. That guy should be sacked asap. Chelsea must bring the coach that will make defence work. This is not a question of players. With absolutely the same players Chelsea defence was really good during previous spells.
Lampards coaching team needs someone much better in charge of a defence.

I think its part of the package and something he will be judged on very soon unless he finds a solution. He clearly has a plan and I'm sure his hired Anthony Barry this year to help him out. I would say stability in defence, he needs to choose his 4 and run with it. Mendy helps a lot too. However, The constant changes won't help imo.

Mendy

James Zouma Silva Chilwell

That is probably our best back four now. Frank needs to stick with it for a few straight games to get communication together. Chopping and changing don’t help.

Personally I think

Mendy

Dave Zouma Silva
James Chilwel


Above is prob the best defence setup we have available but with the wingers we have im not sure it would work.

For me it has to be this lineup. I can see Lampard play a 4231. However, what Wheely has suggest is what we should be doing now with all the injuries etc.

James Zouma Silva Chilwell

Kante Kovacic

Ziyech Pulisic
Havertz

Werner.

I think we are better off building with a 4-defenders at the back type of formation (like 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 etc. ) then alternatively we can switch to 3-defenders at the back type of formation in some games. My point is: if you build with a 4-defenders at the back formation, it’s easier to play a 3- defenders at the formation when you feel like playing it but if you build with a 3- defenders at the back formation (which is like using 5 defenders), it’s difficult to switch and be very effective when you switch to a 4- defenders at the formation.
Besides, A four-defender at the back type of formation would bring into use- a lot of the attacking players that we have into the midfield and attack. 3-4-3 formation is very good though against teams like Manchester United and Everton (before Ancelotti, can’t tell for Everton now) but a 4-defenders at the back formation is very good against Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Leicester City etc but NB: Never play 3-4-3 against Liverpool and Arsenal cos it will never end well. I think Lampard uses 3-4-3 when he’s being careful (conscious) of the opponent.

I think we'll come good. Once injured players are back and we're fully fit. Don't forget we're basically in pre season in terms of fitness.

We know we need another DM but that isn't why we lose games, like you said individual mistakes.

I don't get the constant complaints about Kova, he was our POTY a few months ago. He's not in the side to play defensive, he's the box to box. How many times a match does he give the ball away? How many times does he drive us up the pitch or track back? I think he does his job well.

Again, Kante. Yes he's not playing in the DM role but he's our most defensive midfielder, he breaks up play, intercepts danger and gives us energy. So there really is nothing to complain about there either.

I think fans get to caught up on systems and tactics and roles. Simple fact is you defend as a team and you don't make silly mistakes that cost us points. Same can be said in attack, put our chances away and we win games. We had 2 or 3 against spurs which could of killed the game off.

I've not seen us conceed a goal since before lockdown that wasn't an individual mistake. So the system and the tactics are not at fault, its the individual. Which is why we move players on and bring some in because certain players aren't good enough.
