Hello everybody and welcome to the Daily Chelsea Podcast. It is of course Tactics Tuesday. I am joined by the marvellous Matt. Matt, how are you doing?
00:00:21
Matt
I am doing marvelously. Thank you so much.
00:00:24
officialgspn
Of course, we both are. I think so after the the win on the weekend. Glorious win against Brighton at home. ah Yes, Chelsea won in the 3pm kickoff 4-2 against Brighton. What a fantastic game.
00:00:38
officialgspn
um but also also a lot to discuss from that game, Matt. and We already discussed a bit on our matchday review yesterday, ah but we want to delve a bit more into the tactics. How how did we win on on Saturday besides just outscoring san such Sanchez's mistakes? um we need to week but We're going to dive into that a little bit today. um it was It was interesting in terms of, I think it was probably the fastest pace game that we've had so far, besides the City game. Brighton started electric, so did we really. We we really tried to push onto them. and and I think one of the big differences we saw, Matt, was that the build-up was just nowhere near as slow. like we weren't
00:01:21
officialgspn
We weren't really um passing it around the back. We weren't just waiting for a chance. We were just very much pushing it onwards. um A lot of one-touch football, a lot of one-touch passes. um What did you think of how Maresca set up for this game? And what did you what do you think about the fact that he's actually shown a bit of versatility so far? And that's probably a good thing for GLC fans.
00:01:42
Matt
I thought it was brilliant in terms of we, I think as we see more and more in football, but also in just so many things in the world that adaptability is the number one trait. And because if you only have one way of playing or one way of scoring a goal, you're eventually going to get found out and that way is going to get blocked, stopped.
00:02:03
Matt
and you're not going to be able to to play away so I mean we had to to do that because Brighton's press was so fast and so high um they really really do love to do that and so yeah like you said that we had to to move the ball more quickly we didn't have the the luxury of the time on the ball in the back to kind of find those gaps and you know sort of just have that lack of pressure and and because that that made the game really frantic and fast paced in the first half particularly um which definitely made for an entertaining spectacle for particularly for the neutral um ah but definitely a lot of highs and lows for for chelsea fans and brighten fans during the game i mean
00:02:47
Matt
It's definitely what we want to see with Maresca and our manager, someone that can tinker this the the tactics and and the team. Obviously we brought Gusto in, who got 45 minutes against Barrows, who's up and running as he's been out for a couple of games. Great to see him back, has a recognised right back.
00:03:04
Matt
and He was great in inverting during during the game. um And, you know, even that as well is showing the versatility of Marusco because we've seen Kukarela invert so much, but now having Gusto invert in this game, it's just another thing for other teams to be worried about. And like ah like you say, as in, it's not just, we're we're not just dependent on Kukarela to invert, but Gusto is going to do that. And so the way opposition teams set up,
00:03:33
Matt
It's less it's less clear about what we're going to do that obviously makes us harder to beat And thankfully, you know, we've got players like whole parma to get four goals for us Yeah
00:03:43
officialgspn
Yeah, of course, Cole Palmer's performance really, not to say dragged us through, because obviously we had quite a lot of chances anyway. But, um you know, when Cole Palmer's taken all the goals, you know, what else do you do? Provide them provide a couple of assists, which couple of players did. And we'll discuss a bit more about our attacking front four in a little bit. um Yeah, it's it's good for Chelsea fans that I think we're now able to trust Maresca in terms of what he's doing tactically, you know, it's the way that we start playing in the game, I think it was, there was a lot of oohs and ahs around Stanford Bridge in our first couple of games when we were doing that sort of slow build up passing it round the back and you know waiting quite patiently for our opportunities on goal. um But the fact that he has adapted in a couple of games now and set up a bit differently and you know it's not that that's the only thing that Mareska can do, it's just that's what he's choosing to do today because he thinks it's the best fit for the game.
00:04:37
officialgspn
And that's really important for, for I think Chelsea fans to realize now because it's, it's giving us a lot more confidence in in the manager and I think there was a lot of, there's a difference in atmosphere on Saturday because of that. And the rest is really just, yeah, like you said, showing how fluid he can be tactically, which is obviously just so important for the Premier League.
00:04:55
officialgspn
um what did What did you think about a couple of players' performances? I mean, we'll we'll talk, obviously this was a return of a few players' performances, a return of a few players against Brighton, a couple of them we bought from them.
00:05:08
officialgspn
um We'll discuss Sanchez in a bit more detail, in a bit, as I think that discuss that needs a longer conversation, because Seido again showed up, did really well with sort of our engine in midfield again,
00:05:15
Matt
Mm.
00:05:21
officialgspn
um what did what did you think of of of casado uh co-will and kukarela's performances particularly
00:05:29
Matt
Yes, and I thought they all shaped really, really well and and adapted to the game um superbly. I think, you know, Cold War's leadership's really coming out, particularly for when the the second goal that we concede is clearly so, so frustrated.
00:05:43
Matt
And that's exactly what we want to see from a ah future captain-esque kind of player. And just really you know giving it to Sanchez of you know you've made a mistake there. like that's That's not acceptable to make that kind of mistake. And that's what we really need. And what we're seeing is those characters are really coming out. And I think we're not there yet. But in the future, we will have that those those characters that we used to have, like the John Terrys and Frank Lampards.
00:06:10
Matt
And we're starting now to see a spine in terms of, you know, you've got Coldwell, then Quesado, Palmer and then Jackson. That's kind of the spine that we're now seeing in the team. And it's great to to have that consistent spine because we had that in the past with Czech, Terry, Lampard and then Drogba. And then you're able to adapt the team around them and, you know, sub in and sub out and rotates really, really well.
00:06:34
Matt
um carilla again, standard game, um no standout performance but I think he's going to be maybe arguably like one of a lot of our players being an unsung hero, just doing a lot of the dirty work, um getting the right tackles in.
00:06:51
Matt
getting a lot of passes in, um but not, you know, grabbing the headlines like a Cole Palmer is going to do. And similarly, Kaiseido, great interceptions, you know, really unlucky with the second girl. It's a poor pass from Sanchez to him, um but still breaking up play really well and spreading the play either himself or giving it off to Enzo to then send a wonder ball through. um And, you know, I think we did really well. we We showed, even though there's been a lot of focus on us having possession football,
00:07:18
Matt
We only had 41% of possession against Brighton. And so they clearly had more of the ball, but we did more of it ah more with it when we had it. And you know, those are the kind of stats that I love to read out because there's so many times where we've had plenty of the ball, which has done nothing with it. And that is just so depressing when you're watching a team. Yep. Cool. We got the ball.
00:07:39
Matt
Uh, but we've got no ideas, but with under Marusca, we definitely do have a lot of ideas. And, you know, sort of just a quick note on Cole Palmer as much as he's our number 10 sort of style player, he was picking up the ball in the right back positions and the left back positions and still ping balls over the top. So he's definitely one that has adapted under Marusca really, really well. And I think it's just got the freedom to to do what he does best, which is find players and score goals.
00:08:06
officialgspn
Yeah, I completely agree with you, Matt. It's interesting you talk about um sort of like our creativity under Maresca. Just before we go to a break, if you look at sort of the shot maps from from Saturday, um out of all our shots, only two of ours are outside the box. um One of them is Karl Palmer's free kick.
00:08:26
officialgspn
um So like as you say we're obviously creating these opportunities and getting into the box and finishing these chances because a lot of our shot you know all of our all three of our goalers came from inside the box one of them penalty obviously but um getting that ball into that sort of either six yard or penalty box area and making sure players are in that position to be able to finish is is really really important and Maresca seems to be We have that in abundance right now.
00:08:27
Matt
But...
00:08:49
officialgspn
um And just just before we do go to the break, what was interesting in terms of what Brighton's shot map looked like? um I thought we did quite well defensively on Saturday, besides Sanchez, obviously.
00:08:59
Matt
True.
00:09:00
officialgspn
um And I think what was what was quite interesting is all of Brighton's shots bar two shots that were inside the box and the two goals. Everything else came from outside the box and that was from everyone, well back, Minter.
00:09:12
officialgspn
um uh rata as well you know every all of their players would were kept to taking their good opportunities from outside the box and i think that's that's really important for us what do what do you think about about how we've performed defensively in that game and and probably the last two or three games as well because we've we've had a lot of attacking uh talent to contend with yeah
00:09:33
Matt
Yeah, I mean, I think the problem that we saw during preseason and particularly when we had our last preseason game against Inter, they just went through the center of our defense and score, ah you know, to be fair, Taram scored an absolute belter, but still, he just walks through essentially the the middle of our defense, which was really the worst way to concede a goal.
00:09:38
officialgspn
you know
00:09:53
Matt
But ever since then, we've just seen the players, you know, understand Maresco's system a lot more and be able to nullify the movement and the passes um of of ourura of our opposition. And I think ultimately, Caesado and Colwill are the best at just intercepting. They're the best ones at just reading the play and and getting getting a foot in, um you know, sort of breaking up the play, just being that annoying player for the opposition that keeps getting getting in front of them. And We're able just to adapt you know sort of whoever's inverting. We've mentioned Gusto for for Brighton, but then Cucarello's done most of the work ah in previous games. And when we are in control, and we just know what we're doing. the we We then go to three at the back. It's all very fluid. Everyone knows what to do. And there just didn't seem any panic anymore. Everyone knows what they're doing. And and ultimately, on top of that,
00:10:45
Matt
We're trusting each other. The players are trusting each other. And that just basically builds morale. It builds so many things within the team. And in on top of that, it then just builds trust um in the fans, in the players and in the manager, like we've said. And I think actually that is the most important thing.
00:11:03
officialgspn
Yeah completely agree with you and this and it's is' starting to show in sort of very every area of of the pitch and most importantly you know it's starting to show for the fans as you just mentioned as well. um We'll take a quick break and then we'll discuss a bit more about XG um but for for the Brighton and Chelsea game as well as finishing chances plus discuss if a couple of players should deserve to be in the lineup still. We'll be back in a minute. This podcast is part of the Global Sports Podcast Network.

00:11:58
officialgspn
and we are back on Daily Chelsea. Matt, we obviously scored four goals as opposed to Brighton's two on Saturday, um all of them coming from one specific player, um but not all of our expected goals coming from one specific player. and So I think it was quite interesting to look at the XG um because obviously it was a 4-2 result, you know, um and that result was quite close at times, you know, 2-1, 2-2.
00:12:24
officialgspn
and and it's interesting to see actually who was creating the better chances so we we had 4.1 in terms of expected goals on Saturday which you know we met with Cole Palmer's goals but as I mentioned not all of those ah chances build into that you know there are a lot of other players who had chances I mean specifically the one we spoke about yesterday was Cole Palmer's through ball to Nicholas Jackson which was just cleared off the line I believe by Webster um when when Jackson took the shot that's obviously that's going to have a pretty high xg but Brighton only had 1.1 and I think this is this is something we'll There's there's two parts to this discussion, I suppose. it's is One of them is is coming down to us in terms of us finishing our chances and the other one is the fact that Brighton actually didn't create that much but ended up scoring two goals because of one specific player and we don't really want to single him out but we do need to single him out this week.
00:13:19
officialgspn
and Firstly, starting with us, um do you think it would have it would i mean it would have been a different a different story if Karl Palmer had not scored those four goals? obviously We did have other chances in the games in the game, but there were some sort of bigger chances missed.
00:13:39
officialgspn
and Do you think we should be putting those chances away as well or do you think that you know players maybe have a bit of apprehension because they know you know we're already in the lead and something like that and so therefore maybe not as serious to finish their chances? What do you think?
00:13:54
Matt
Oh no, we've got to be absolutely as clinical. I think we've got to have the mentality that when we've got a chance, we've got a score. There's no, we can't, yeah the Premier League is the hardest league in the world. And, you know, you never know what's going to happen in the game. There's, you can't take anything for granted, even if you're 4-0 up, um as much as missing a chance, maybe not be as bad in hindsight when it's 0-0.
00:14:18
Matt
Um, you've got you've got to score you've got to have that predator and that clinical mindset Because if you don't another team will and they will punish you You know if you really watch the highlights back of The chelsea brighten game we could have won seven nil really and if we just took our chances Uh, you know the one with jackson would cleared off the line. That's just great defending, you know and getting back Jackson can't do do too much more there. So that's fine but In the first half, you know, there's there's a couple of chances where we were just unlucky with offsides and and with the AR being so forensic, we were just really unlucky with that. You know, Madawake is almost time to run to perfection, just caught offside and then he's passed it in Sancho, Sancho scored, but unfortunately it's ruled out.
00:15:04
Matt
Again, Madaweike was through, chose to shoot when he should have passed to Enzo. That could have been another goal. um and and yeah There was even um a host of other chances that we could have upped the score with.
00:15:19
Matt
it's a I think we're getting that with Mareska. He's because, again, we the ah the players are trusting each other and they're buying into Mareska's system. They're just a lot more confident. And so I don't think they're apprehensive about when they get in front of goal because we're making plenty of chances. So the players know that they're going to get a chance to so to shoot and to score. It's just about, you know, having that clinical clinical touch. And at the moment, that is all coming through Cole Palmer.
00:15:51
officialgspn
Yeah, it certainly it certainly is. And um while that that is great for Kalpama, something you know we discussed a bit it yesterday is what the Chelsea look a little bit like if we lose Kalpama or if if God forbid touchwood that Kalpama was injured or something. Like where would we have just lost that game yesterday or would it or you know would someone else have stepped up?
00:16:12
Matt
I'd like to think that, you know, if you take Cole Palmer out and we have Jael Felix in there, I definitely feel that we can win that game three-two. You know, it's not as comfortable. I don't think we score three in the first half, but I do think we still come out and tro on top because Jael Felix is still a top quality player. Yeah, he's still adapting, still needs to bet into the Premier League and into Mariska's team and get some game time because he's never gonna start over Cole Palmer at the moment. so And also, I do think if Cole Palmer's not there,
00:16:40
Matt
I do believe that players like Madawake or san Sancho would recognize that and and and see that they've got to take charge a bit more. um I think they've got a great understanding that Palmer is just Cole Palmer and he is the man and that they can just give him the ball and he'll create something out of nothing. But if he's not there, I do trust the players to step up um and to try and fill in for his shoes.
00:17:06
Matt
They're not quite the level of Palmer, but and we're going to get into things like Madaweike and his temperament. But I think someone like Sancho, he could easily be playing the number 10 as well. He's that creative and he's that intelligent. You know, so for for his assist to Cole Palmer's fourth goal, so intelligent. The way he opens his body up, the way he plays the pass, the weight of pass.
00:17:27
Matt
And also, he was being doubled up by a lot of Bryson players, which led to a lot of the quick one twos. And even for him winning the the penalty for Cole Palmer, he's played a fantastic quick one to with Enzo. And but he slows it down as well. He knows when to control the ball and just slow the pace down, but then also when to speed it up. um He's just a really, really intelligent footballer. And because we've got that strength and depth, I do think we'll be OK if Palmer is out for any period of time.
00:17:56
officialgspn
Fair enough. Well, hopefully it's not a situation we have to realise.
00:18:00
Matt
yeah
00:18:00
officialgspn
Hopefully.
00:18:01
Matt
just hypothetical you know if
00:18:02
officialgspn
Yes. Yeah, let's let's keep going because I would ah would definitely worry if we did not have cold armour for at any length of time. and We'll discuss a bit more about players and who should be starting and who should possibly be dropped after this short break.
00:18:17
officialgspn
Do you have a story to tell that the world needs to hear? Have you struggled with reaching new audiences who are engaged with your story?
00:18:23
Matt
Yeah, just hypothetical, you know.

00:19:00
officialgspn
And we are back on Daily Chelsea. It is of course Tactics Tuesday following our 4-2 win against Brighton at the weekend. um Matt, we've discussed ah quite a bit at length about the tactics of Chelsea. We've discussed the chances we can generate um and the goal scored. What we want to move on to is the players who are involved in that.
00:19:23
officialgspn
And specifically, I think there's a couple of players we need to talk about in terms of are they starting the next game against Forrest, also at home. um we the The elephant in the room is Sanchez, and we'll we'll talk about that. But Maddow A.K. um on Saturday was the only one of our front four to not provide a goal or an assist. Obviously, when I'm saying that, Jackson and Sanchez got an assist and Copa have got all the goals.
00:19:50
officialgspn
but um he also just in terms of his stats didn't perform that well he he only won half of his tackles uh he only only five out of ten of his passes were accurate which is not really what you want to see he only had that one shot although it did hit the post um It was a very close chance for him. um But otherwise, that was the only shot he had in the match. um Successful dribbles, one out of four, in comparison to Sancho, who um only was only only was this possessed in one dribble. And passes as well into the final third, only one, compared to everyone else who had at least three. Sancho actually did really well with six for those. um So, not only by the way,
00:20:38
officialgspn
It's weird because from from the from the naked eye I thought he contributed quite well to our to our game but I suppose looking at the stats and the fans are actually afterwards and if you go back and watch highlights and obviously in fact he's not passing the ball, the selfishness is the biggest part of it. Is it time for Metal 8K to be dropped or do you think that's going to harm his confidence?
00:20:58
Matt
Yeah, it's interesting. I've had a thorough thought about this because confidence is so key with players and the games come thick and fast and the demand and the and the level and the pressure is so high that confidence is so crucial. And I do think now we're at a stage where I think Mariska will still pick him. He will still be in the lineup actually for next week's Game Against Forest.
00:21:25
Matt
But I think that's the final chance he's got before he's dropped in terms of changing his attitude, changing his decision making. And, you know, it's OK to not be on the score sheet or have an assist in a game like Brighton, um even though at face value, it might look like, you know, they say he's he's done nothing. You know, if Cole Palmer, Sancho and Jackson are getting in the goals and assists, why is he not getting contributing in a high scoring game? But it's okay because there's every other player that may be assisting the assist and and so forth.
00:21:58
Matt
But with Maddow A.K., it it's just a bit strange because he can get his head up and he can pass like we discussed earlier with him when he was offside. He passed into Sancho for him to score. But when he was onside, he just didn't make that decision when there were actually three players available as opposed to one. And he went for glory. And I think that's actually because That's when we had there were more goals scored in the game and Cole had a couple of goals at that point. so I think he almost starts to get a little bit jealous of his teammates scoring. And it's good to have that healthy competition to try and outscore each other because that's great for the team. But yeah, like you say, it is it does come across as very selfish and just unselfaware. I do think, though, this shows the levels that were growing, which is a good problem for Chelsea as a whole, is that
00:22:51
Matt
under Mareska, we want this almost perfect execution when we get into that those threatening um positions and that you need to make the right decision. you know so if If there's a player open, choose him. Even though you want to shoot, even though you want to score, choose the best option. And unfortunately, he just hasn't done that consistently enough. And I think he's slightly riding his luck after the hat trick.
00:23:16
Matt
at wolves um still. And I think, you know, if he doesn't contribute well to the team or get on the or scoreboard or assists against Forrest, he'll probably be dropped for Neto.
00:23:29
officialgspn
Yeah, ah it I think we're very, very close to that point, aren't we? We can't be too far off. um <unk> we've We've been saying it for weeks. it's If you are not performing as an attacking player in our team, there is someone knocking on that door who's been performing well in training, doing, um ready to take your spot. And that that's a good thing for Chelsea. It's a very good thing for Chelsea. um With specific situations, it might get a little bit more ah worrying, but I don't think we're at that stage at all with Madaweke yet.
00:23:59
officialgspn
He probably understands if you were to be dropped. um And like we both said yesterday, it'll be interesting to see if he starts on Thursday, because that'd be an indication of if he starts in the Premier League.
00:24:07
Matt
yeah
00:24:11
officialgspn
We will move on now to the man who provided ES, provided Brighton with not one, but two goals on Saturday.
00:24:16
Matt
The gray man. is
00:24:23
officialgspn
and Robert Sanchez, it's sad. It's sad. He had been doing really well for us. um And now it's just two really poor decisions. um And you have to worry a little bit about his confidence, maybe the defense's confidence in him after in such a in such a big game for us as well, our proper real to our first real test.
00:24:51
officialgspn
um you know, that game could have gone so many ways already if Palmer hadn't scored, hadn't been the player that he was. um Firstly Matt, what it why do you think Sanchez made those decisions? What do you think is going through his head? Do you think they're just genuine mistakes and he lost concentration? um And do you think he's likely to keep doing this?
00:25:13
Matt
Do you know what, I actually think he is likely to keep doing this unfortunately. I think it's just part of his nature. I think particularly with the first goal, I watched it back on match of the day today and the ball goes up in the air and he sprints for about three seconds from his goal line to where the ball is.
00:25:34
Matt
but completely misses it. And because he's off his line, the Brighton player has an easy header to just not even, you know, do a powerful header, just get it on target. But if he stays on his goal line, it's an easy collect, it's an easy catch, and then we can just get play going. That's 0-0. And it's just, it's early on in the game, I really don't understand why he's trying to do that. Maybe he's thinking, I've got to make a statement, I've got to be dominating to,
00:26:02
Matt
state something clear to the Brighton players but it was just really ill judged and you know like Brighton had no it there was no threat there really like it's not like someone's coming in to volley it and it's a fierce strike it's up in the air there's three or four players trying to hustle for the ball and head it There's no re reason for him to come out and get it. And if he does come out and get it, which he did, he has to win it. He absolutely has to win it. It's like a corner. It's like a free kick. If the keeper comes out, he's got to win it. For the second goal, you know, it's the way we play and Maresco played it down well. So it's not too much of a highlight or speculation.
00:26:42
Matt
But I do think Sanchez has to be really, really pinpoint with those sort of passes in those tight areas. When there's three Brighton players around and one coming to press Quesado, those passes have to be perfect. And that's not an exaggeration. They actually have to be perfect because if they're not, what happens is Belieber nicks it off Quesado and just smashes it in the goal and then they're back in the game.
00:27:06
Matt
ah you know That's why I said we could have won 7-0 because if you take away those two errors, I just don't see Brighton scoring. And so I think we have to be really careful with our slightly high-risk, high-reward system of just letting teams back into the game when they're actually not playing well. um That's the biggest issue. I don't think he's going to get dropped. I think Enzo Mariska is going to put a lot of faith into him and try and build up you know that cohesion with the back five.
00:27:34
Matt
But I think unfortunately um he's going to keep doing it. But then again, I'd like to say, you know, I think he'll get us out of jail a few more times with a few more penalty saves.
00:27:45
officialgspn
Yeah it's it's a tough situation because I think it's you know it's hard to see this five or six games after you know the transfer windows closed and we can't really do anything. Jorgensen is obviously still an option for us um and he is more of a cupkeeper and I think again we were discussing yesterday you know there's a few more opportunities for him to show how good he is and with some bigger cup games coming up.
00:28:09
officialgspn
um but But otherwise, the thing I want to point out is is that the amount of interactions that Sanchez and the back four have during during a normal game is is about 32. Which means he messed up, you know, of such a very small quantity and he is he is typically asked to play out from the back like he's there are very goalkeepers can do a very simple, you know, clear up the field. Well, so that would not benefit us at all.
00:28:36
officialgspn
And for three out of our four goals, um one including the free kick, it was all built up from the back. so He is a massive part of that. And I sort of, you understand I'm a wrestler saying, look, we'll, we'll concede so many goals playing this way because this is the way we're going to play. Um, but it is still a little bit worrying to see the mistakes. So early on when we when we had been, when we had to see him doing so well and all we were seeing really Matt was just great saves each game. And we had, we had done really well in terms of clean sheets as well.
00:29:09
officialgspn
and But we'll wait and see ah if Sanchez is dropped at all. I think I agree with you. I think he'll probably be kept on for the next few games and we'll see if any more mistakes come about.
00:29:20
officialgspn
um Just before we finish up, Matt, um we do have Nottingham Forest on the weekend. A very, very, very quick fire question. Would you change Jackson from Cuckoo?
00:29:33
Matt
No, I'll stick to Nicholas Jackson I'll stick with him.
00:29:34
officialgspn
No.
00:29:38
officialgspn
and Okay.
00:29:39
Matt
Yeah. Yeah.
00:29:39
officialgspn
All right.
00:29:40
Matt
I am Yeah, I think we need to hit his hustle and bustle against the forest and But yeah, I see in Cuckoo playing against gank in midweek. So I see Jackson starting against forest and And yeah, supplying more and more assists for Cole Palmer.
00:29:56
Matt
That's what I see. I see. Oh, actually I was going to predict the score line, but I'm going to, I'm going to wait and see. I won't, I won't show us my, my, my predictions too early.
00:30:06
officialgspn
Log off my episodes before we can we get to get some predictions in.
00:30:10
