Screw It!
There are so many things I like about Rosenior tactics.
The structural control, the dynamic attacking approaches, the interchanges and combination plays in midfield and attacking areas... The things I wanted Maresca to do but he was stubborn.
I see him even trying out a back five ( people like fooling themselves that it's a back three). I donβt actually have a problem with Rosenior switching to a back three. In fact, done properly, it's a serious potent weapon we can use to smash and grab the Champions league.
The issue to me isnβt the shape. Itβs the cowardly way itβs being deployed.
Two things specifically. The Delap-on-the-wings Hull city experiment and the back 9 with one striker upfront nonsense.
Then there is the back five PLUS three defensive-minded midfielders formation.
Pure football terrorism.
One I'd rather donate my scrotum to Hyena orphanage than support
With a back five, You can comfortably and safely do a combination of two involving any of Enzo, Caicedo and Santos and still have the attacking threat of both Palmer and Estevao. For heavenly sake and for the sanity of the sport you don't need the three of them in with these set up. Unless we have privately and shamelessly accepted to turn into Stoke City.
They say, The best way to defend is to attack. And just like we found out against Arsenal, you can deploy those shitty negative tactics and still be hammered.
The First half Leeds tactics before the substitutions with a back four and the three midfielders was also awesome. Brilliant stuff.
Now we have seen Rosenior abilities with small teams. Next I just need my man to grow some more pairs of balls when it matters against equal or better strength opponents.
The chelsea spirit is we die on our knees standing, rather than screwed on all fours on our knees begging.
The man looks tactically intelligent to me. He just fixes his balls and guts, and he will be here for a long haul.

Thoughts π? Does Lavia walk straight into the XI when heβs fit again?
Laviaβs press resistance and ball retention is far superior to anyone in the team.
Andreyβs ability to break up play and recycle possession is unique too
Close call but Lavia edges it at the moment. What yβall think?

π£οΈ Willian on Mourinho: "I never saw him lost: he always knew exactly what needed to be done, how the team should play, defend, and attack.
He wasnβt a coach who spent hours on the pitch working on tactics; sometimes, 10 minutes was enough for the players to understand exactly what he wanted for the game. Heβs definitely an exceptional and very intelligent coach."
