Potter’s brave decisions pay off

There were some memorable

the conclusion made by Graham Potter in Sunday’s win against Crystal Palace, and I saw him be quite bold.

One of the things that haven’t been broached much is that yes, of course, Lewis Hall has been keeping Marc Cucurella out of the team, which is a bold adequate resolution on its own, but Potter even had the option to bring Kalidou Koulibaly on at left back during the sport, rather than turn to Cucurella.

Potter and Cucurella knew each other very ably from their time at Brighton, so relinquishing him and ignoring him as a sub even, is 

greatly brave of Potter. And these are the kind of decisions we have been asking for and desire to continue.

Nothing against Cucurella, but he has been pretty sub-par since arriving in the summer, so I think he deserved to be dropped. Even cascading Koulibaly from the start on Sunday, who has also been sub-par, was a bold conclusion and one that advantageous Benoit Badiashile had a good debut.

The only 

astonishing one is not giving a begin to David Datro Fofana yet. But perhaps Potter feels he isn’t prepared yet and this might point to him going on a loan move this month.

Trevoh Chalobah at right back above Cesar Azpilicueta again was a 

heroic decision, mainly as Chalobah was poor the game before. Really shows our discouragement to get a new right back, but Chalobah was much better on Sunday, and it was another conclusion that paid off.

The other one was of

trajectory starting Conor Gallagher over Mateo Kovacic. Gallagher was one of our greatest threats on the day, and it was another one that paid off. These decisions won't every time pay off, but just being accommodating to make decisions like this is what’s needed.

It’s a good join, and we do need more of this now if we desire to 

actually push forward. Drop the players who languish and play players on merit. We have seen a lot more of this from Potter in 

current games and it’s good to see.

I see no reason to drop Badiashile for the upcoming game, or even Hall for that matter (albeit he had a couple of dodgy moments).

Potter is doing what he needs to do. Let’s wish we can continue to move onward now after a crucial three points. Keeping any hefty hope under

swathe though, personally, at least until we get more players in the posture most vital, and injured players back.

Ziyech has improved, but rebuild means he has to go

Hakim Ziyech to permit Chelsea this window, and for me, it should not even be a dispute. We have just signed three strikers in the shape of Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix, and Noni Madueke. Our squad is now bloated, exceptionally in the attack. We cannot roster them all currently in our Champions League squad, a player or two needs to be immolated (not physically). We are also probably signing 1/2 more players this window. Until the World Cup, I think lovely much every Chelsea fan would have told yes to selling Ziyech, including the player himself (still believe he wants to leave now). But now, I’ve seen calm a few interrogating it off the back of a good World Cup and a few satisfactory games for Chelsea. He’s been great in spells, granted, but the inconsistencies are still clear to me. We cannot sell Christian Pulisic this month because he has a long-term scratch and no club will buy him. So it has to be Ziyech I’m nervous. As I’ve said, I totally  treasure what he does bring, and wh...

Erik ten Hag’s tactical genius brings Man United victory against Leeds United

Erik ten Hag masterminded an improbable Manchester United win at Elland Road this afternoon later a wound-ravaged side looked to be heading for a stalemate against a brave Yorkshire team buoyed by the combative crowd. United was without Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Antony, Scott McTominay, Donny van de Beek, and Anthony Martial for the risky stumble over the Pennines. By the hour mark, Leeds looked the most probable to take the three points. With Jadon Sancho looking to be the star most probable to turn it around for United and center-onward Wout Weghorst looking lost, Ten Hag’s double change in the 61st minute changed the course of the sport. Sancho was replaced by juvenile Alejandro Garnacho, who has been disheartening in the last couple of games, while Tyrell Malacia was changed by Lisandro Martinez, pushing Luke Shaw back out to left back. To many fans’ astonishment, Weghorst stayed on. Garnacho replaced Marcus Rashford on the left pinion, who moved up front. Bruno Fernandes moved ...

Chelsea’s change of shape in-game is key

Chelsea beat Bournemouth 2-0 on Tuesday evening in their first game back later the World Cup interrupt. It was a much-needed win and a clean sheet after stumbling form and poor performances before the break. There was one key element for me that I noticed that really helped Chelsea get the edge over Bournemouth and make it a pretty straightforward game for them in the end, and that was the in-game exchange of shape. We are starting to see elements come into our play that has clearly been implemented by Graham Potter and his team, and the shape is one of them. I also incorporated about four moves in the first half that Chelsea made that were quick one-touch passing that set us up for a savage within seconds. We have rarely seen this at Chelsea in recent seasons, with our possession play often being too slow and too labored. It was  invigorating to see some quick fluctuation and players also taking on those hard and riskier passes; that is what we need to be seeing much more, worryin...
