Palmer’s height/long limbs maybe make him less technically reliable + nimble as the absolute premium pocket players (e.g. Odegaard, B.Silva), but it also gives him the potential to be dangerous in ways they can’t. He’s potentially a very unique profile (Project Havertz v2) 🧵

Yesterday it slipped my mind that Mount was here with Enzo for 6 months. Makes this even more wild lol. These South American’s don’t play that “traitor” & “switching sides” stuff. It’s refreshing at times to see that old-school passion in the game.

If I was Mudryk, I’d be talking to & asking Sterling questions everyday. Sterling’s natural ability isn’t out of this world & he has weaknesses, but this is a man who’s truly mastered the art of wing-play & really took on everything Pep taught him. Perfect guy to learn from.

In the 2nd half; Poch suddenly decides to revert back to some of the BASIC positional-play shapes (from pre-season with Cucurella inverting into MF in a steady 3-2-5 and surprise, surprise we look much better & nearly win. Loads of better individual performances too. Joker.

I’m afraid I just don’t see a world where Madrid don’t steal one of our RBs to replace Carvajal eventually. I can’t see both of them co-existing for too long. Both just so good. James is clear but he’s injury-prone & Gusto is the real deal. But let’s just enjoy it for now.

When I think of KDH, this action comes to mind. The idea was clearly to have Olise at RW, w/Palmer as that ball-handler on the LHS. But since that fell through Palmer will be at RW & KDH will be that LHS guy. Less exciting but maybe more functional.

Edgy characters like De Zerbi have always been a good mesh with CFC fans (e.g. Jose, Tuchel, Conte) & the club’s culture. Animated on the touchline, crazy celebrations, ambitious, ballsy, loved by his players/fans, while tactically modern/top.

A coach like RDZ would get Noni into 4/5 of these situations a game & do relentless training-ground work to improve his already budding (& potentially devastating) 1v1 threat. He has the capacity to repeat such actions again & again. Something’s there.

Opposition obviously has to be accounted for, but I like the actions. In Noni & Mudryk I see 2 guys, who with continuous training ground repetitions + confidence can become top wingers. They’re potential “repetitive” types like Saka/Salah etc.

I understand the premise of the idea, but I think in Ugochukwu we somewhat have that MF profile. He’s like a more JDP-inclined prototype although obviously further behind in development. He eats ground-less etc but probably has better natural on-ball potential.

Tuchel was a front runner of this new pragmatic JDP approach. Pep took his 3223 box MF setup to the next level by having wingers hold width, in oppose to wing backs (James/Chilwell). Our 2021 CL win & early 21/22 top of the league stint was a peek into this style’s potential.

As great as T.Silva is, against low-blocks his lack of pace is an issue, for how a high-press team needs to defend. Our DF line can’t push up to squeeze the pitch because he hasn’t got the recovery pace. We can’t compress the pitch well, which is huge for sustained pressure.

Just like I suspected, Palmer has turned out to be everything CFC fans imagined & thought the “idea” of Havertz would be when he came over with so much hype. 6ft clean playmaker, technician & G/A machine all in one. 32 G/A later & you have your clear/deserved PL YPOTY 🏆🥇❄️🥶

Palmer’s height/long limbs maybe make him less technically reliable + nimble as the absolute premium pocket players (e.g. Odegaard, B.Silva), but it also gives him the potential to be dangerous in ways they can’t. He’s potentially a very unique profile (Project Havertz v2) 🧵

We have more injuries than ever & still we’re playing with more structure. This is why injuries have never been an excuse & I never accepted it as one, while he was waffling about Nkunku & all the rest. This Poch guy is just genuinely a stubborn mad-man it seems 👍🏽

The technical levels at the club are as high as ever. Loads of confident, young, top players who all play with initiative. Something I’ve been crying out for for a long time. It’s night & day from some of the lineups we’d put out in recent years. Super refreshing.

Coach/Squad mismatch is the MAIN cause of our recent struggles. Stylistic fit is a key component towards success in the modern-game. Hire a very good coach that FITS your squad & you’ll excel. We have failed to do that 2 years in a row & have suffered the consequences. 🧵🧵

We don’t have a bad coach (even though I’m not his biggest fan) or have a bad squad as some say (amazingly assembled squad for the RIGHT coach). We just have a suboptimal pairing of squad & coach that doesn’t help either party. That’s completely on our decision-makers.

Consistent game-time from James, Lavia, Fofana, Nkunku & Carney are going to feel like an extra £200/300M injection of signings next season. Add 2/3 key summer signings + a top tactical coach too? We’ll do something spooky next season if we play our cards right.

Caicedo & Enzo, our clear-cut, superstar double-pivot players worth a combined £220M; are still yet to play together in a double pivot. Forget tactics, understating of the game & all of that. Just off pure logic, surely even the simplest of men understand that’s an issue lol.

Lol people think it’ll take RDZ long to implement his style with THIS batch of players? It’s a squad made to play this type of football. Didn’t take him long to implement his style at Brighton or Ange overly-long at Spurs for similar reason. Sarri started from ground zero.
De Zerbi is Sarri 2.0 in terms of very repetitive/boring training sessions and in terms of how long it’ll take to implement his style. Can picture Chelsea fans hounding him just like they did Sarri

Many Italian coaches have a unique mastery of time/space, achieved through their automatism-heavy coaching style. Inzaghi, Conte, De Zerbi etc. You name it. It’ll be interesting to potentially see that from Maresca within a Pep-like approach.

In a hypothetical world where we hire RDZ (who often prefers technical CFs); Do we still 100% make a big CF signing? Nkunku, Jackson, Palmer can all operate in those RDZ twin-CF areas. If Palmer is used centrally does that leave an opening for a starting RW? Enter Olise…

I suspect we’ll sign a more-suited hybrid LB/LCB profile. Colwill is wasted at LB (& should only really be a last-ditch emergency option there). Under the radar links to the likes of Lukeba/Calafiori hint towards that. Murillo would be an interesting option too.

I barely ever seen anyone talk about it, but imo Havertz‘s continued growth in height ruined him. All the clips of him looking consistently clean technically were in 18/19 where he looked 6ft/6ft1 max. After growing further the cleanliness of his technique took a nosedive
