As I mentioned yesterday, I’m completely taking a 1-1 with Arsenal, an obvious title challenger this season, and completely taking third place within the league after eleven video games performed, in comparison with the place we had been this time final season and the space that was between Chelsea and Arsenal.
As I additionally mentioned yesterday, I noticed nothing in any respect and have seen nothing in any respect from Arsenal this season to counsel they’re any higher than Chelsea proper now. The progress is there to see and is obvious.
However we do nonetheless have the identical most important three points, and these are literally fairly large points, which have nonetheless not been addressed in our squad construct and the alleged 4 window plan we stored listening to about. For me, this must be addressed and will have been addressed a lot sooner. These are the one causes that I’m nonetheless very cautious about getting too enthusiastic about Chelsea proper now.
These points are, the backbone:
However, however, however, Robert Sanchez goes to in the future be a world class goalkeeper. No, no he isn’t, please cease with that. Sanchez as soon as once more conceded a objective that ought to by no means be stepping into in opposition to Arsenal final night time, and he does this far too typically.
Chelsea have to put money into a TOP and confirmed goalkeeper, I’m afraid each passing recreation simply proves that much more.
Chelsea have to additionally put money into a DOMINANT chief on the again. A participant who can organise a again line and command the areas round him. An all spherical centre again is required, a confirmed and established one. We have to stamp out the lapses of focus and poor positioning on the again, and an organiser on the pitch can assist this. But additionally, loads of that is on Enzo Maresca to educate in coaching and enhance all the above.
Think about Pedro Neto crossing in to a dominant striker? And no, earlier than anybody says, I’m not below ranking Nicolas Jackson or disrespecting him, he simply isn’t that profile, that’s not his fault. You possibly can’t make him one thing he isn’t. He’s been nice, and the attributes he has are nice. However as soon as once more, he’s Nicolas Anelka fairly than Didier Drogba, and that’s nonetheless a praise. We want a extra bodily striker up there bullying defenders and who’s a risk within the air and may maintain the ball up.
On that notice, did anybody watch Liam Delap on the weekend? That man has some Diego Costa in him. What I’ve seen to this point, I like. However you all know who I feel we must always enroll high.
Folks all the time need me to offer names once I say or write stuff like this, however that isn’t all the way down to me. We now have an enormous recruitment crew of consultants to do that and discover the correct profiles, it’s not all the way down to me to seek out them. They’re those who’ve the info and scouting networks all around the globe and hundreds of gamers on information sheets. Go get those we’d like!
