Football is fluid these days.Chelsea is a big club, everybody will get a chance to contribute. Only Caicedo and Palmer appear irreplaceable at the moment, every other person will justify their need to play.This is not a club of 11 good players, we should have 22 good players that can start. With this squad we have, there is room for flexibility. Cole Palmer should not be playing every game, particularly the carabao games, he needs to be rested so he can be fresh for crucial games

Why doesn't anyone think Maresca can/will use a 2-3-5 & not just 3-2-5 in settled play? City do it now because they have technically gifted players to sustain pressure and provides just as much security in transition whether its 2-3 or 3-2 rest defense (2-3 gives you much more command of central areas during attack). I believe we'll be bold since there's no longer Silva who lacked pace that prevented us from pushing high up. That way it allows us to use 2 CBs as the last line (most of our CBs are very fast) one fullback inverting (Cucu) and the other overlapping or under lapping depending on who's playing on the flank. In midfield I believe KDH will play more minutes than we imagine, Palmer would have to adapt to RW because the two 8s are very important parts of Maresca's set up, not just offensively. So if Palmer finds himself in the 8, defensively we will suffer except he starts to burn more energy helping the team. I'm more concerned about our CBs game time, rather than midfield to be honest.

How about a 4-3-1-2 formation, with Palmer as d sole no.10, Nkunku playing as supporting striker and KDH playing the left-hand side of the 3-man midfield

It’s not about who will start, we also need a good bench to be able to compete

The first formation with Reece hugging the line instead of Palmer is the most likely, with Nkunku up top.

I appreciate the insightful breakdowns. 🙌

Moresca always uses 2 no 10s so both will play definately in that midfield. Cole from the left KDH from the right.Our 2 most expensive midfielders can't be both benched so either Enzo or caicedo will play deep with an inverted fullback. Myself i'll prefer Lavia in that position when he's fit.

Importantly, there’s definitely no room for one of my favourite players in Gallagher.

The major problem of Chelsea selection is Enzo, enzo need to be drop to bench but bcus of the outrageous fees, that might be difficult for any coach

We can play with caicedo as a pivot hall at the Left half space Enzo at the right half Parma at the right wing space sterling or mudrik at the left wing space then James attack the line at the wing space Enzo drop from the right half space while Parma will move immediately to the right and at same time James can invert at same, Enzo attack the right half space parma stay wide which I believe with the level of their understanding we can a better rotation like this from our right side like Portugal in ongoing euro cup which cancelo,vitinha and Bernardo are applying this rotation like this and his even what will apply btw Enzo, sterling and James against Liverpool in the second half of our opening premier league match last season

Perfect formation

I don't know if it's another channel or yours but what is so bad in having enzo and caceido as double pivot with an attacking fullback in either James or chilwel. Everybody is saying enzo is a natural fit for replacing enzo so why are we expecting to play him up front as one of the 8s when we know it doesn't work. To me what works on paper at least is James and cucurella as fullbacks, james being an overlapping fullback, he is great at that, palmer starts as right winger and moves into the right half space with James overlapping. The playing personel doesn't matter as long as everyone understands what they are meant to do in any given position. To me Spain's pattern suits chelsea more. Enzo for rodri, caciedo for Fabian Ruiz, then Palmer for pedri, others can fill up the rest.

Sterling, Jackson, palmer Hall, Enzo, Moses Ella , colwill/bah,toin, James Sanchez Simple

It will be work putting Nkunku Enzo and KDH in this team even Mudryk might be hindered with Sterling asking for games...Also Palmer should not be returned to RW NOOOO ...It will not be easy Gallagher might not be sold but ends up rotting on the bench Carney also

Nkunku is barely mentioned, how is that??? Is he going to warm the bench? I think not…

I know this is for content purposes but in a few words. What recruitment is doing. 1. We only have Palmer in that left 10 role, was effective at RW. Admit it doesn't affect him. 2. We only have Noni at RW, after failing to get Olise. Solution: get SBD who can chip in for Palmer instead. If Noni is injured, no problem,if Palmer is out, no problem. I find this perfectly balanced and competence-led. All these Enzo stories got mi ribs cracking man! He's what we got instead of Olise in a bid to balance the TEAM.

Let’s get mcatee to play on the wing, like bernado silva

We don't need to play all of the them at ones we can use dewsbury as a impact sub or as a rotation player to eas le the number of game times on our players people forget we are going to have a lot of games this season dewsbury amd be a rotation player who start here and there depending on the situation and opposition

Bro. What board do you use in analysis? Am curious to know. Am a coach and I could wish to know. Please tell me your secret 🙏

Please we need a tactical analysis of sonia bompastor Chelsea coach

I would start caicedo as RB where he played before and invert him to midfield that could work

Where does all this leave Nkuku. No way KDH is technically better than Nkuku

What about Nkunku

Enzo is undroppable in that maresca system,enzo will be our deep lying playmaker always dictating play from deep areas,just the way he used Winks in that Leicester team

We can't fit everything on the pitch. At least, we will have a very good bench for substitutions. Dewsbury will probably be on the bench with Gallagher, and Santos. We could have Cowill, Gusto, Viega, Disasi, Sterling, Madueke, Guiu and even Nkunku on the bench for tactical changes. That's 11 players who can set up as a team B and can beat most teams in the Premier league. Even Chukwemeka will be on the bench. Our bench will be better than last season when Poch at times didn't have anyone to turn to when things are going south.

Nkunku actually plays dat Dewsbury Hall position on d left, while Palmer does dat from d right. Jackson plays in attack except we get Osimehn. I don’t think we’ll get Jonathan David as Nkunku can deputise in attack. We’ll still need to sell at least 3 players and loan a bit more to trim down the squad.

Petrovic James tosin colwill cucu Cai. Enzo Palmer kdh. Nkuku Nico

Then we can still results to Same 3-2-5 or 2-3-5 aswell

Why is no KZfaqr talking about how to fit Nkunku, and Lavia

Why not?! Isn't it better to have more creative players on the pitch than less?

In this I think gallagher should leave in peace

What do you think of a 3-Diamond-3 formation with palmer at the tip of the diamond KDH-Caicedo-Enzon making up the base of the diamond in any order?

i think palmer should be like hazard and let hall play at mid

I feel like you are kenyan❤

You don’t pronounce the L in Palmer. It’s said as “Pamer”.

We play europe. Everyone will get a chance

Kol Palma

I honestly don’t think KDH starts. He’ll definitely be a good rotation but I don’t see a world where Enzo and Caicedo don’t start while we sacrifice Palmer tying him down to the wing

New signings will upset this but I think we’ll see variations of; GK James Tosin Colwill Cucu Enzo Caicedo KDH Palmer Nkunku Sterling With a B team. GK Gusto. Fofana Disasi Badiashile Santos Lavia Chukwuemeka Madueke Jackson Mudryk

Bro this is wrong Kdh and Palmer will both play the two number 8 Maudeke and Sterling orMudryk will play the wing Enzo and caicedo will play double pivot.

I'll take a shot every time he says "half space". 😅

CDM Enzo Fernandez Moses caicedo Attacking midfield Cole palmer Kieran dewsbury Hall

It will be so hard to choose a working X1 than people think without holding back players like Mudryk and Enzo with nKUNKU in x1 and KDH being managers signing ... Also Palmer must remain 10.... with out reactionary selfish fans who wants their favorites to play...It will be chaos and Maresca will be gone in January

This is a really silly take. I want back the 9:33 I wasted of my life! Lol. Wish u all the best but this channel isn't for ne
