As I stated 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 have been this time final season and the gap that was between Chelsea and Arsenal.
As I additionally stated yesterday, I noticed nothing in any respect and have seen nothing in any respect from Arsenal this season to recommend they’re any higher than Chelsea proper now. The progress is there to see and is evident.
However we do nonetheless have the identical predominant three points, and these are literally fairly massive 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 may 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 moving into in opposition to Arsenal final night time, and he does this far too typically.
Chelsea must spend money on a TOP and confirmed goalkeeper, I’m afraid each passing recreation simply proves that much more.
Chelsea must additionally spend money on 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 might help this. But in addition, a whole lot of that is on Enzo Maresca to educate in coaching and enhance the entire 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’ll be able to’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 relatively 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 might 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 date, I like. However you all know who I believe we must always enroll prime.
Folks all the time need me to supply names once I say or write stuff like this, however that isn’t right down to me. We’ve an enormous recruitment workforce of specialists to do that and discover the appropriate profiles, it’s not right down to me to seek out them. They’re those who’ve the information and scouting networks all world wide and 1000’s of gamers on information sheets. Go get those we want!
