Introduction and Recent Matches Overview
00:00:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello and welcome to the Daily Chelsea, brought to you by the Global Sports Podcast Network. I'm your host Matt, and I'm joined today by the wonderful... It's Luke. Hello Luke, how are you doing?
00:00:23
Luke Charlton
i'm Very, very well. Thank you for asking. um yeah Looking forward to talking to all things Chelsea today.
00:00:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
Good stuff. like Good stuff. Yeah, pleasure to have you on on the show um Just before the show everyone it seemed that Luke had ghosts in his room as the lighting kept changing everything started flickering Maybe there's a problem with the electrics. We'll never know but on the weekend Chelsea played Manchester United and I'm not sure it was such a lightning display from anyone. Unfortunately, it was hyped up as a big game as there there was a lot of you know sort of chat beforehand. These two teams used to dominate the Premier League. And Chelsea, we haven't won at Manchester United, at Old Trafford since 2013. If you go back then, it's
Lineup Analysis and Player Performance
00:01:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
when Juan Mata scored the winning goal,
00:01:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
And in that lineup, we had Czech, Aspella Quetta, David Luiz, Ivanovic, Ashley Cole, a double pervert midfield of Ramirez and Lampard, and a front four of Mata, Oscar, Moses and Demba Bar.
00:01:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
What a throwback that is. That definitely does feel more than 10 years ago, Luke. But that was then, Luke, that lineup. Maybe you'd pick some players out of that and put them in to this this team's starting 11 this year. But Luke, what did you make of the lineup? um You know, any surprises there? It was pretty much the same team as we played up against Newcastle. Was that the right choice? And how did they fare against United?
00:01:59
Luke Charlton
Look, I can't be too too critical. I mean, particularly after the poor showing we had in the Cup in the week, I think it made sense to go back to the starting 11 that the beaten Newcastle in the league. um The only thing that ah of note I suppose I took away particularly from the first half ah was the imbalance that we have um from an attacking standpoint with um with regards to the right back and the left back both being right fitted, so both being essentially right backs. I mean they noted on Sky Sports that there were four right backs essentially playing um together, ah sorry not together, but for both sides there was four right backs in the field, there wasn't a left back on the pitch. And I think we we looked much more balanced I'd say in the second half having Cucarello come in.
00:02:49
Luke Charlton
um But yeah, it's it's it's a tough one to kind of to look at and say that Gusto maybe shouldn't start because obviously Rhys James now has to start as a club captain. He's come back in, he's showing his fitness. um But yeah, it's it's it's a difficult one. um But I think, I think that Kukare balance was something we were missing, and and maybe would have been a bit of a difference for us, in this particular in the first half to have gone, gone ahead and really taken advantage of some of the opportunities we had, because it would have allowed for an overlap on Pedro Neto's side, which he wasn't really getting.
00:03:18
Luke Charlton
um
Dynamic Formations and Defensive Strategies
00:03:18
Luke Charlton
which meant he was a little bit isolated at points when he could have been able to counter attack. And essentially, yeah, we could have probably just stretched United a little bit more, having had more progressive full backs, or having just been balanced and feeling on the comfortable, being able to go down the touchline on their comfortable foot. um But yes, so so that there's a kind of a few question marks over that. But ultimately, I think that starting 11 is good enough to compete. um um And we we were in the game, it was never thought of like, oh gosh,
00:03:45
Luke Charlton
never going to be able to compete on it here but um yeah I think moving forward Cucarella probably has to be involved in starting a lineup especially as he was someone that came away um came away from from the midweek game actually with some sort of level of praise I suppose um he was he was he was kind of put himself everywhere and he he does at times it feels like he's running around like a headless chicken but I think there is a there's a purpose to it there's certainly he helps trigger the press and And it does help us in transition and to win the ball back quickly. um Another note potentially is that I think Madaweke and Palmer had fairly quiet games. And I think that does sort of come down to um just they they were a little bit isolated against the kind of the compact defense of United that were looking to kind of catch on the counter-attack. And I think that the the there's been a lot of talk in the in the press
00:04:34
Luke Charlton
over the last few days about um Maresca wanting to potentially play Zhao Felix and Palmer together in a sort of like dynamic 8-10 sort of role um which I think actually if we'd seen Zhao Felix come on that could have been quite interesting um or even come from the start would have been quite interesting dynamic particularly for uh for Man United to pick up on um so yeah the there's a few things that maybe I would tweak but hindsight is 2020 I don't think the lineup was bad I just think yeah there's a few things looking back now maybe we could have exploited in a different way
00:05:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, interesting. Absolutely. I mean, United didn't really give in to the the dominant press that other teams have given in to, notably like Brighton when we smashed them 4-2. And so they held their ground predominantly and waited for us to really sort of bring the ball up the pitch. And
Match Result Evaluation: Victory or Draw?
00:05:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
even when they did press, they pressed in a 4-2-4 fashion.
00:05:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah But we we were able more that more on than enough to to comfortly come you know ah ah play around them and get out of those those tight areas and for the most part We did make plenty of chances from that when we did get away from their press and and play through them um Quite a few chances in the first half particularly ah with Cole Palmer and Jackson and Neto and Madawake all sharing the ball about but Luke, in games like this, you know sort of both teams aren't what they were 10-15 years ago, but was this a game that was a point gained or was it two points lost?
00:06:04
Luke Charlton
I think you have to you have to look at it in a microcosm and say that... United probably were there for the taking, but we also have to acknowledge that our record, as you touched upon at the start, isn't great at Old Trafford in recent seasons. um And I think from their sort of perspective, they're not wanting to go into the match and get beaten heavily. So I think they are always going to be looking to be on the more defensive side. I mean, the fact that they start in Casamira and Ugarte together,
00:06:34
Luke Charlton
um they They had a bit more of a defensive structure and in in them in their in their midfield. um they had i mean hope um the ah to say that they They were very much looking to sit in um with their defenders and kind of staying back to make sure that we weren't We weren't allowing players like Palmer and Madaweke space to really do do the damage they normally can. um So i think um I think, yeah, you could look at it and say we probably could have got more from the game if if we'd been a little bit more at it. But ultimately I can't i can't begrudge a draw too much there because um in the in the grand scheme of things, it's a positive result. It was a fairly
League Standings and Management Changes
00:07:18
Luke Charlton
positive performance. It wasn't a great game overall.
00:07:21
Luke Charlton
but I don't think we underperformed or were were like lucky to come away with a point, for example. So even that in itself, if we're considering that ah we should have really be beating Manchester United, um and I think we would be more harsh on ourselves if they started in Eric Tannhagen charge.
00:07:35
Luke Charlton
um There's a lot of positivity now at Man United where it feels like the players are getting a reset.
00:07:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:07:40
Luke Charlton
I mean, you saw the passion that Casamiro had from from Bruno Fernandes' penalty going. And it's it's moments like that where you think, okay, if you've got a born leader who has won everything, really up for it now, it's going to inspire everyone else. So they're going to be putting in that extra 10%. And I think we would have benefited from that not being there with 10 Hargroves.
00:08:01
Luke Charlton
in in charge still. So um there's a few yeah there's a few factors that sort of went against this, but yeah, but you can't you can't really begrudge a point to Old Trafford. um I just think that given the context, that it's it's still a very good result. I think it was shrouded in the fact that we wanted a reaction from midweek um and we we sort of did get one, but Again, like it's not it's not always going to be the fiction you bounce back from. it's in In context, and with the fact that we had other teams around us ah dropping points this weekend, it felt more like an opportunity missed. But but ultimately, you isolate it. youve You put a ring around this one on the calendar. Game week 10, we've got this this this kind of draw. We've got the point. We go away from our Trafford. And then when they come to our place, we make sure we get all three. So four points out of six then at that point. I'm not really that fast, yeah.
00:08:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Absolutely, that is the attitude that we need Luke, absolutely. and I mean you're absolutely right because that result does take us up to to fourth on goal difference. We're top four after 10 games, we're above Arsenal, we're above Villa, we're above Spurs, we're above Brighton, above Newcastle, above United of all of them as well.
00:09:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
um and that's exactly where you want to be 10 games in. I think you know slight anonymally with Nottingham Forest being up there in third. I'm not sure what's happening there that was a bit of a spanner in the works this season but there is always one of those teams. um After the break we'll discuss more and one special player in particular.
00:10:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Welcome back. We're talking all things Manchester United and Chelsea after the weekend's game. ah Luke, you noted that obviously Ten Hogs not in his position anymore, been sacked by Manchester United of what seems just a very lackluster tenure ah despite you know winning the Carabao Cup and Epic Cup in two seasons. They've had enough,
Star Performances and Tactical Approaches
00:10:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
that's not good enough according to United and it's probably fair enough because this year they have had their worst start ever to a Premier League season so it's not a surprise that he's gone ah despite his trophies and there was you know it being muted that because of the change manager that there would be a big bounce back from the players because now they're auditioning again to to start on the first team and it's almost like ah starting the year all over again um and so in some ways getting a draw against Old Trafford was a solid, solid result
00:11:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah We saw a slight bounce back from a player in Bruno Fernandes getting a penalty goal because he before this game He had not scored in the Premier League this season, which is far below his standards um ah ah Since he's been in the Premier League but Luke I wanted to comment on a player that, for us, has really been growing into being a bit of a superstar. um Someone that is maybe a bit of an unsung hero, because his name is not Cole Palmer, but Moises Kaiseido. What about him? What did you make of his performance on the weekend?
00:11:42
Luke Charlton
Yeah, again, I thought he was excellent and he he has quietly been reaching standards that that we'd expect for a player of his calibre and of his price tag as well for for a few weeks now. And I think ah he he rounded his entire points off with an excellent goal ah for a player that doesn't always score for us, but but when he does, he scores some pretty big and significant goals. um So I think, yeah, he he He was certainly head and shoulders above the rest. He was setting the standard for our team. And again, in in an area where Man United probably had some of their better performance, Inugata and Kazemiro, they actually had quite ah it was quite a good battle there. I think La Vieira and Kaiseido, Kaiseido in particular, really held their own and and sort of showed and showed what they can do. and
00:12:28
Luke Charlton
yeah i think i think he's just celebrated his 23rd birthday or or so i think it was his birthday this week i saw yeah so for him it's it's it's very much the world is his oyster and then we keep going on um we keep we keep we keep moving and progressing from there for him and and i think yeah he he he can really set himself um uh out there as one of the best midfielders in in the Premier League if not the world if he keeps all these levels of performances ah reminiscent of that a lot of elements of kind of um
00:12:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, he's 23.
00:12:58
Luke Charlton
Chelsea midfielders gone by, I'd say in terms of it was those elements of Kante in there, those elements of SCN. And I think that that kind of he has a very good tactical brain as well, which I think is sort of um can be missed a little bit when when he's such a he's such an engine he's he's he's such an energetic player and he really helps that again i mentioned a little bit about cocarelli he helps set the tempo helps at the press um but he he's got great um sense of awareness um maybe not as good as lavia because i think that's lavia's secret sauce he's so good when it comes to playing the ball under pressure and just the understanding where the danger is and kind of having the blinkers on to see where players are behind him it's just ridiculous when you watch him when you focus on him it's just yeah he's so good at that in particular but Caesado has a lot of that a lot of that quality as well but I also think he yeah as I said he reads the danger well it's covering those areas and and we picked up a lot and I think Maresco likes to have him
00:13:53
Luke Charlton
and in in defensive transitions be one of the first players to get back because he's strong in the tackle and he um he fills in at that right back spot quite well so if we have Rhys James can't walk us so whoever it is on that side he does sort of fill in that position quite well which again allows Madaweki on that side to really stay high and wide um so yeah it's It's all positives, and and I think we're going to see a lot of players flourishing now because they're learning the system. um It's just a case of getting them all to flourish at the same time, and then we'll be hitting teams for four, or five, six. That's what I hope anyway.
Robert Sanchez: Performance and Prospects
00:14:26
Luke Charlton
That's the dream, but it's very rare to get all 11 players kind of singing from the same hymn sheet. And even when a player does play fairly well from what I felt for about 60 minutes or so in Robert Sanchez,
00:14:36
Luke Charlton
he does still have a mistake in him. And a bit of a rash moment, so but I'm sure we'll come onto that in in a little bit about some of our ah takeaways from the game.
00:14:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Absolutely. Yeah, well said, Luke. And, you know, sort of obviously, Quesada got that wonder goal. He won all of his aerial duels in the game. He had 84% accurate pass rate and 67% tackles won. So, solid solid performance. um Almost maybe a little bit unlucky not to get the player of the match because that did go to Bruno Fernandez. Of course, Quesada not just scoring the goal for us, but having that last ditch clearance right at the death just getting there ahead of Xerxes so proper engine like you say covering all blades of grass and i think everyone's being a bit quiet about that 115 million pound price tag now no one's really slapping that or waving that about or saying you've bought you know you've paid out much because he's really worth the money now he's really really worth that um Luke you touched on Robert Sanchez and that's actually where we're going right now
00:15:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Where do we go with him you know meresca defense him publicly so well so strongly he says he loves what he's doing he's so happy with him. He's even defended that we're gonna concedes goals you know from playing out from the back just because that's the way it is that's that's the nature.
00:15:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
But he conceded this penalty um and this foul and is so typical of just keepers being rash because we've seen this a million times from so many different goalies, so many different strikers going down.
00:16:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
The striker's taking the ball away from the goal. He's taking it away from the goal. he's is It might be going out of play for a goal kick, but he dives in and catches Holland and then what do you do? You you have to give the penalty. um Is he going to be, you know, sort of, if we don't get top four, do you think he's going to be the but biggest reason for that?
00:16:36
Luke Charlton
that's ah That's a heavy burden to place on anyone's shoulders, I think. To single out one person for being a reason why you don't get Champions League football. but la I think, I think we're in a difficult spot because what does as a manager, what do you say? You don't want to knock a player's confidence anymore than potentially he's probably his own biggest critic, Robert Sanchez. I mean, it feels like we're on the cusp of potentially like a Joe Hart city situation where you have on his day, a phenomenal goalkeeper in the right system, but he's already been shown the door at Brighton. If we now
00:17:12
Luke Charlton
He's had ups and downs at Chelsea, obviously, with Pochettino and different managers and whatnot. We had different goalkeepers coming in and and kind of taking his spot. He's now been told that he's number one. If he then loses that place again, and the manager maybe feels that Jorgensen or whoever our backup is isn't quite ready, what do we do? We've still got some big games before January. And I don't so foresee us spending a lot of money on a new cube in January either, particularly when we have over, I think, seven or eight keepers on our books.
00:17:42
Luke Charlton
We're very much waiting for the young bloods to get get enough quality, whether that be Selena or the the Belgian, the youngster, Mike, I've forgotten your surname, but there's a few there's a few prospects there that they think will be the future of of of our goalkeeping core.
00:17:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Yeah.
00:17:57
Luke Charlton
um ah so it's tough one and again i i felt on the things that he's had issues with in the past his past accuracy and his kind of decision making when it comes to being on the ball i thought he was pretty good i thought he made some some quick passes he made some ah decisive passes there was a couple times he clicked the ball out first time to to kukarela for example in the second half and i thought it was really smart it was really good play and it allowed us to because because of what Maresco will do with his defenders and his his goalkeeper essentially stepping up to be a bit of a third center back at points to beat the priorities.
00:18:32
Luke Charlton
um he he he the the the passing become such a micro microscopic kind of focus for him that I think he was really concentrated on that and then as you say at the moment with the penalty he'd already done most of the work he'd done 90% of the work like he'd come out quite well he'd been enough of a presence that Hoyland was having to run around him and as you say it was looking like he was going towards the corner flag more than towards the goal but he decides to dive out and keep his hands up and and like He didn't even need to dive really.
00:18:59
Luke Charlton
He could have stayed on his feet and just kind of kind of gone down like like like a hockey player, like keeping himself low. and And it would have stopped the chance, as you say, yeah completely. But it was the dive and the kind of... doug murro I think Hoyland's fall to the floor was very, very dramatic, but there was contact.
00:19:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
theatrical. yeah
00:19:16
Luke Charlton
It was definitely a penalty. I agree with you. You can't not give that. But to look at it and go, OK, there's got to be some sort of savvy, it's got to be some sort of now there's a keeper that you just don't think about it for a split second. But like that is the bit that you're supposed to be good at. And he has been pretty good at shot stopping. And I mean, we saw a little bit of it in the Liverpool game where the the tackle on Curtis Jones.
00:19:38
Luke Charlton
yes that wasn't a penalty but it was needlessly kind of aggressive in terms of to block the ball when you've done most of the work you don't need to still dive in that a little bit more like it's almost like he wants to really let the players know that no this is this is no get away this is my goal like you piss off like don't be but but you don't actually have to do that because a lot of goalkeeping is actually it's that sense of aura. like your Your stance is enough to put someone off. your doesn't You don't physically need to get involved in in in a kind of duel with a player because there's so much that could be done just by your body placement without you even engaging. and And I think there's those little fine tunes where he where he does well in one area, he loses in another. he'll hell he I don't think he'll ever get to a point where he is good enough long-term to be actually like a champion's lead goalkeeper for Chelsea. I don't foresee that.
00:20:31
Luke Charlton
It's particularly just because I don't think, but they the fundamentals are there. They just don't all work at the same time. They just don't work at the same time.
00:20:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:20:38
Luke Charlton
And they touched upon it. They did say this to say, you look at keepers like Alison and Edison and Courtoise of the world and all those sorts of keepers that they have a presence.
00:20:50
Luke Charlton
you never see them really get caught in those situations because they're already enough of a figure that you that that it means it's very difficult to get those sorts of opportunities against them. Whereas with Sanchez, he's playing at a high profile club in high profile games where it's but results matter, but he doesn't have that presence of, oh, I think he can make a mistake to save his keeper. Let's put it on
Team Dynamics and Discipline Issues
00:21:11
Luke Charlton
him.
00:21:12
Luke Charlton
I think the same with someone like Vicario, who I think is very good at Spurs, but they keep getting caught out on the corners because they know he's fairly weak to come out and and to claim the ball.
00:21:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:21:21
Luke Charlton
So it's the same element of you will never have yourself feeling like a top level club if you feel like you have a goalkeeper that that that has a weakness or can be beaten in some way or another.
00:21:32
Luke Charlton
um
00:21:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, absolutely.
00:21:33
Luke Charlton
So yeah, it's it's interesting. but But yeah, to say that he may be the reason we miss out on top four, that's your original point. I think that might be a little bit harsh, but it's a problem that we do need to resolve if we want to really be the club that we want to be.
00:21:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm. Very true, very true. ah More as we wrap up after this break.
00:22:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Welcome back. We're, we've got a few more minutes, Luke. Um, so, you know, all eyes says don't have to cry that we're, um, ending shortly. Um, everything, man, United and Chelsea today. We, we discussed some of the highs, some of the lows, but Luke, where did Chelsea go from here? Now I'm just sort of pinpointing kind of Maresca and his lineup and his, his selection. We've kind of got the gist that there are two teams effectively, one for the premier league and then one for the Europa league.
00:22:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
um And that's where the level of those players are at the moment. um Obviously, there are some there's there' opportunity for players to break into the Premier League side like Neto. um And obviously, Sancho was missing from this game when we we we may have needed him.
00:23:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
um going ahead Luke do you see a similar lineup for Arsenal and just on Jackson he picked up his fourth booking of the season in this game and he's picked up quite a few pointless yellows um we think back to the Liverpool game where he just walked into the the penalty area before Salah took his penalty to clap and probably distract Salah or try his best to put him off but maybe to also encourage Sanchez but totally pointless really not worth it. And he's got a booking for that. so And again, simply in this game, got a booking for effectively nothing. Does he need to, does Marusco need to have a word with um Nicholas Jackson about this? Because for all the good that he's doing, if he gets booked again unnecessarily, then we just lose him for an entire game.
00:24:01
Luke Charlton
I mean, for for for Jackson, it's a bit of a history repeating himself. I think I remember last year, he he got he got over 10 bookings, so he missed he missed two games because of double suspensions, and it was it was a bit ridiculous. But but yeah, look, i think I think it's a little bit in his nature. I think it feels less noticeable when you kind of put it in perspective like that, that there's some silly yellow cards.
00:24:26
Luke Charlton
um I just have to put it down to the fact that he's still a bit young. He's still it's a little bit immature. he He wears his heart on his sleeve. You can see that with the way he celebrates sometimes and the way he gets criticism in the in the press more so last year than this year. But he he definitely feels what um but the moment is feeling. In the same way I imagine Darwin Nunes is a little bit with Liverpool. I think it's that it's it's ah it's a it's a breed of striker now that that they've seen center forwards come before them and and they want to emulate those sorts of levels of characters and that kind of level of, you need that edge as a striker, you definitely do. And and I think sometimes that can bubble over to go, and hang on a minute, there's ah there's a difference between being coy and being savvy with it to to actually being a bit bit almost reckless, I suppose, with little little decisions where you can actually, that were so needless because it's gonna cost me the end. um And that comes down to, look, don't get me wrong,
00:25:21
Luke Charlton
I think we have a very solid squad and I'm excited for the future but we're missing those, it has been touched upon, we're missing those presences of a John Terry or a Lampard, to to to take a player like that in the changing room and say, don't do that, like just don't do that. um You think of the stories there of someone like Mourinho talking with Balotelli, historically of saying like, oh, I need you to marry us, go out there, we've got no other strikers, you're gonna be our striker, so don't get yourself booked because we need you for the next game with him in three minutes, he gets himself booked. It's things like that where you go,
00:25:52
Luke Charlton
They're just trying their hardest, but sometimes someone needs to come in and be like, look, you've got a like there's a way of doing it what where you can get away with it. And and i think I think it's learning that that kind of balance. And yeah, we we just we just miss someone to come in and say, to kind of have that conversation with them, ah because it needs to be a peer. It can't really come from a coach, because then it feels like you're being told off, I guess, in the sense of sometimes you need a lesson from your mates to say to you, look,
00:26:16
Luke Charlton
wise up sharpen up you're letting us down not just the coach because you know you know the coach isn't going to be happy to get booked but you'll be like oh it's the spirit of the game but if your teammates are going like that was stupid what are you doing like you can have that kind of conversation so it just needs someone to kind of step up i'm sure i'm sure that they're talking about those sorts of things ah because ultimately from a fan perspective i feel like he has got better But so as more improvement, as you said, there's clearly still some moments of a little bit of rashness, a little bit of recklessness, but he seems to be calming down.
00:26:44
Luke Charlton
So hopefully as he's finishing his calming down, he's being more composed in the box. He'll be more composed when it comes to his decorum
Conclusion and Future Episodes
00:26:50
Luke Charlton
on the field.
00:26:52
