Recent years have shown that it is not possible for a manager to simply transpose the style he implemented with one team onto another. Pep Guardiola had serious teething problems in his first term at Manchester City, before investment in the transfer window allowed him to build a squad capable of playing his way effectively. Presently, Maurizio Sarri is experiencing similar issues imposing the football he became renowned for at Napoli in the Premier League with Chelsea.

Better analysis than the espn punditry
This is one of the best football channels. Espn have some of the worst pundits and shows. So yes...
Every.. Fckin... Time... Pundits are paid just to sit there and talk bs
They only talk about foods.Only Gab is good but he is hussed by others..
Even better than Sky Sports
That kinda goes without saying. Tv punditry is really bad and I genuinely wonder why people watch any punditry at all
That 0-6 loss was more of a total collapse in mentality than a tactical issue. The other 2 games vs MC Chelsea defended very well
@Cobbster I say it was MORE, not ALL about mentality. Tactics had nothing to do with the 2 stupid goals Chelsea gifted City. I doubted Chelsea would've pressed that high if we hadn't had to chase the game. Surely Sarri had to take the blame, but not all of it because a professional top team should never be beaten 6-0 even without a manager
@@brotherskutnu8585 the problem is, Sarri won't be able to spend money and improve the squad because of the transfer ban.
Brother Skutnu the biggest defeat pep suffered was a 4-0 to Everton and that city squad was worst than this Chelsea team
Brother Skutnu couldnât has said it any better
"Defended" why would they just defend? Ffs Chelsea aren't Southampton, everything except a win for them is bad.
'A physical striker who is technical enough to play with his back to goal'
Oh; you mean Olivier Giroud?
While I like Higuain well enough, I am mystified about what Giroud was supposedly lacking. He did not score many goals, but he was a smart player who drew the attentions of defenders and created opportunities for other players. Deschamps was very happy with Giroud, for many good reasons, even without putting the ball into the net very often.
he is old we need to give our loan players like mitchy and tammy a chance since they have never played under sarri
@@top_heavy Mitchy is too inconsistent ATM and Tammy is just not ready.
Alqu001 ! Did you watch the World Cup? All he did for France was hold the ball up and constantly press the opposition. He is the best striker at Chelsea currently.
@Alqu001 ! Apparently good enough to play in winning world cup squad for every match
Napoli ended 4 points behind Juve last season, this season they are already 20 points behind despite having better players and a better manager, shows you how effective Sarrismo was
They even beaten Juventus too.
@Cobbster last season juv was much better as a team than juv this season :)
Players are the problems.These player dominance should be stopped.
Thatâs one season and they still are second so whatâs the difference.
Premier is muchhh more difficult and competitive than serie a. In serie a 15 out of 20 teams are just NOT ON LEVEL WITH THE PL
The factor
1. Different culture opponents
2. Not sufficient player to adapt the style
3. Different philosophy game of play
Lack of consistency and weak mentality, the list goes on
If Guardiola took over Chelsea at the beginning of this season I don't believe he would do any better ,the exact fault lies in the squad rather than the manager
Rish Sharma agreed
I agree
youâre right
The management board is the first line of fault, after that there are plenty of other problems as well at Chelsea, sarri doesn't have a magic wand, our board is a fucking disgrace, shouldn't have sacked Conte in the first place!
Rish Sharma the club board is awful in supporting the manager
You say Rudiger and Luiz arenât capable of âHollywood passesâ but they are, at least luiz for sure, better at those long diagonal than most cbs
ExplosiveLemonz rudiger is a beast of a defender and is capable of playing âHollywood passesâ I think heâs critiquing the centre halfâs to much. Alonso is our let down almost every game I watch alonso is our weeklink and that position needs to be invested in. Left back and a midfielder to play along side Kante and Jorginho and we will be back to the top again
Agreed esp re diagonal passes, but when they're spending most of their time with the idea that Jorginho should be the main distribution it causes them to pause and not distribute as much themselves.
Luiz is the best ball playing defender in the world imo
I, too, find it confusing the suggestion Luiz can't do long balls. The man sometimes takes free kicks for Brazil! And in Chelsea's strong years, Luiz was very cool under the press in finding an open man up field. He may not have the instincts for playing the ball out of the back with tikitaka passes to Jorginho, but his passing in general is strong.
@@yaboyraszn9401 I agree. It's a shame you wasted so much money on Bakayoko and Drinkwater when you had RLC at disposal and a LB problem which is still there today. Saying that, Luiz and Christensen need to be much more consistent too.
Watched âSarriâs tactics at Chelseaâ then immediately watched this after
Thatâs good thanks for the update???
same
@@billy4gd970 same
It's still the first season FFS. We all knew it wasn't gonna click directly. Sarri has to be stubborn in order to change this culture around the club. We just need patience.
Try telling that to Roman Abramovich.
In the first few matches, Chelsea were performing
It's tough to change the club culture at our Soviet Chelsea, even our fans are pretty restless
Dude weâve lost every away game against the top 9! Heâs gotta go, we seem to constantly bottle it in the second half, and his substitutions are awful, He hasnât shown me anything why he deserves a second season, players donât seem to respect him! Heâs ruining the club how do you not see it?
@@snash8831 except hazard,kante and jorginho(dont forget his performance last season and man city almost paid 70 millions to napoli) all r either overrated,not suited possession style of play(even kante doesnt suit this style) or r under powering this season(Alonso and willian)
Sarri ball doesn't work: 3rd in premier league, won the Europa league
Agreed. His treatment was appalling.
Credit to Eden Hazard.. He was exceptional that season.. Always change the game everytime he was on the ball.. It was "give the ball to hazard" tactic that being successful, not sarri ball..
@@sonainriano8102 Sarri's tactics help him to unleash his full power.
@@subhrajyotiroy3855 I don't see it that way.. If any, it was the opposite.. Sarri ball is about breakdown the defence by flow passing and possesion.. Hazard just do his thing and break the defence by dribbling past defender.. we could only imagine what would hazard do if we play a more direct approach instead of possesion..
@@sonainriano8102 That interchange of passes helped to create spaces for others to do their things.
If you look at his goals, most of them were because of team play, not many goals were individualistic.
I don't like how this video doesn't touch on the fact that the mentality of the players is definitely a question. And sure, Sarri should change that but if Conte could not how can he? At some point, the problem isn't the manager but the dressing room.
They go into some more extensive detail on that on the podcast covering Chelsea this season.
Didn't they win the EPL with Conte??
Sarri has better players that Conte ever had in his second season when they failed. Conte just didnât have the players. If we had Conte right now with Loftus Cheek/ anybody but Morata (even Higuain)/ Odoi/ Healthy Barkley/ Kovacic/ Jorginho; it would have been a three legged race for the league. But instead he had Lord Bakayoko/injured Barkley/ Morata/ and Moses.
@@dani__crocs They significantly overperformed though. And could not maintain that sort of effort for a sustained period of time. That is what I mean.
@@dani__crocs and they did that because Conte's introduction of the 3-4-3 formation had taken most of the title contenders by surprise. Chelsea was on a record winning streak, which came to an end at the hands of Pochettino's Tottenham. After that fixture, pretty much everyone in the upper half of the table had figured out the style, but that streak propelled us across the finish line.
The very next season, Chelsea was humiliated in the first match by Burnley. And by that time, Klopp and Pep had streamlined their clubs. So a title run was out of the question. With Pochettino's tight grasp on the Tottenham ship and Jose's second season form, we were out of Top 4 at the end.
Even Sarri's playing style gave us the initial momentum, giving a semblance of the three-legged race till October. But the same thing has happened.
The player's mentality is certainly to be questioned. The last moments of the ET in the Carabao cup final had shown the disrespect Kepa had shown towards Sarri and Azpilicueta's apparent absence in the entire matter was dishonorable as the man with the armband.
We will finish the season 3rd. we are with one foot in the final of europa league. we were in the final of carabao cup. next year champions league football is guaranteed. imagine if his tactics ''worked'' what would happen
Chelsea's crossing ability in general is shocking, even (or especially) from set pieces. How do you expect to score against a compact 4-5-1 without utilizing the wide areas? Corners fail to clear the first man. Our fullbacks can't cross, our midfielders don't get into the box enough. What's the point of making overlapping run only to pass the ball back 80% of the time? Way too predictable. Recently there have been more crosses, but the quality is still sub-par, to say the least. Btw Liverpool can load the midfield with 3 box-to-box players and still create more chances than Chelsea partly because their fullbacks are so good in offense
Tatsuya SIGH spot on!
Brilliant! Just what I think too.. đđ»đđ»
I hate how Sarri doesnât see this and attempt to change it. When we play mid table opponents who defend compactly, you need to load the box and put crosses in! Instead Sarri continues to make like for like changes and play 4-3-3 with 0 crosses. Tired of his stubbornness!
@@amoghkashyap2695 Did you not see Sarri asking his fullbacks to cross in that Burnely game? Sarri asking players to cross is one thing but when the players cannot cross what the heck can Sarri do? Go to the field and try to cross the ball himself? Chelsea lacks quality from defense to attack. They do not have players confident and skillful enough to play a dominating possession game. It is so obvious, so blaming Sarri because he is being tasked to implement his expansive playing style in this team is just wrong. Yes he can change the system and do a Conte or Jose, prioritize defense and just counter most of the times. But that is not what Sarri was hired for. He was hired to implement his style, if not, whoever hired him must have been smoking some crap.
The only men in Chelsea squad that can cross from wide areas are..
Cesar Azpilicueta (He is tired since he has played almost every game)
Marcos Alonso (What the heck is going on with him...he scores goals and provides cross but cannot defend...then what's the point of being a wingback?)
David Zappacosta (Is he even playing?)
@@lunatico5318 azpis crooses are shit alonso has lowest succes rate for crosses
Because Sarris style needs time, and less egos in the dressing room.
Emran Ali I agree but weâre conceding far too many goals from poor defensive errors and set pieces. Marking inside the box is embarrassing even against teams like Burnley
I agree
Emran Ali first, Hazard needs out
Now that hazard, higuain and David Luiz has left. I feel like the dressing room is very healthy now.
We donât have the personnel and thatâs been reflected in our performances and results
Yes but Sarri hasn't really tried to adapt his tactics.
also the inability to adapt his tactical approach to what players he had in the club nor to the playing style of the opposition teams.
Jorginho has been, over many times, get pressed and dispossessed because he's always alone. No one coming to help him or opening up a passing opportunity to move the ball... one of the midfield or CB should've moved in closer to help release him from the press or opening up passing line to then start off their offensive play.
Every other manager already knows that Chelsea's play start with Jorginho... and Sarri hasn't been doing anything to break that problem.
@@HenSt-gz7qj I agree with you
Sarri's inability to adapt have cost Chelsea several points. I'm not saying we could've won the title but had he adapted we would have got easily into top 4 at least.
Even Guardiola tweaked his tiki taka to work in PL.
Maybe if you didnt spend 70 million on a second rate keeper and treat players like subutio figures you might have a real team. Chelsea have the personel. Pretty much an entire team of winners and big money signings. Sarri underestimated how tough and versatile the premier league is and his tactics are shit
Yurhomi 24 That personnel won 2 league titles, but couldn't defend them well. It is as much about the poor adaptation from a manger as it is the players simply not playing for the shirt. Same situation at United.
Sarri is successful. Chelsea got 3rd place and won the Europa. And he nearly got the EFL cup too. Just the management and fans too demanding.
The issue is that you simply do not get time at a top club in the Premier League - you have to hit the ground running, unless you have the full backing of a board for a project, which I suspect Sarri doesn't.
I'm still not entirely sure if Chelsea's squad are as good as some people think, but the transfer ban is going to cause some issues.
Maybe it's time for some of the Loan Army to get a chance out of sheer necessity.
good points. He should start looking on loanees if he wants depth in his squad. I actually really like him, despite his stuborness and putting kante playing in a wrong position. I also think the chelsea locker room is a bit of a bunch of snakes, a lot of players wanted to leave for ages, and certainly they are not there for the chelsea project, even though I dont even know how to describe the chelsea project by now. It can be a transition period, but usually that is made by buying players and improving the squad, having a strong stable backbone board which I think chelsea dont have at all. Too shady of a board right now, not the right personnel and they are running the club like they are running a falling business. They need to change their approach. Still believe in Sarri, but i think from the players to the board, the whole structure needs a modification.
@Liam Totally agree. Lack of a PLAN B when shit hits the fan is what Sarri lacks BIG TIME. Pep has atleast five or six ways of playing depending on the oppositions approach. Sarri just uses the same old same old dogshite tacticts against every team. Some times it looks like he only care about that possession stats more than goals and chanches created. Lack of rotation is also a big reason why Chelsea gets countered so damn hard. He just doese the same shit and when he finally succeed he starts braging about how good his tactics are, after about 100 attempts. A premier league team with only a plan A, which doesn't fully work at all, is fucking pathetic. I hope the cancerous board can find some actually good solutions and that the team management board can tell Sarri to have AT LEAST 3 different tactics. Cant play possession football when the opposition sits with 10 men in the box and none of our players can hit a screamer shot from 25+ yards.
i m the only nigga happy that my club has a transfer ban now i can finally see some of the youth products getting chances we have like 50 players on loan playing first team football and winning poty for their loan clubs
@@morganstokes1930 Kante says he enjoyed his new role and we can see bed slowly progressing in playing his role better
I SAY THIS IN EVERY VIDEO AND WILL SAY IT AGAIN...
TIFO FOOTBALL IS BY FARRRRR THE BEST FOOTBALL BASED CHANNEL ON CZcams !!
Can you do a tactics video for 2008-2009 wolfsburg? Really curious
Dzeko and grafite were on fireeeee
Doesn't work? I'm sorry but Chelsea have created the second most chances in the league, and were comfortably 3rd up until January. It's not Sarri's fault that most of the players are just not good enough. They're on course to finish 4th and win the Europa League, a successful season given the expectations at the start. Give Sarri time and some decent players, then judge him.
Hahahahahhahahahahaha win yr mothers league
3rd place first season with 2 signings
*not successful*
Easy answer: the club is an oligarchs plaything and the fans at the club are used to instantaneous success.
That success used to be achievable with a blank checkbook in the early 2000s and even up through the early 2010s but clubs have caught on and adapted to the new landscape and so theyâre back on relatively level terms. You can talk about tactics all you want but the reality is that the biggest signing theyâve made since Sarris arrival (pulisic) was not even on his radar as a player and was more or less dropped on him because the Chelsea marketing team can sell his jerseys in the US.
This alone explains a lot if you unpack it. Man U is experiencing a similar problem. Business became a large part of the sport when abramovich bought the league title along with the club after his takeover. Since then, many clubs have lost sight of the fact that the business strategy of a club fits in with a larger ethos that the club espouses. Chelsea never really had a culture to speak of, at least not one that created winning teams. So apart from the money there didnât exist the building blocks of a title winning club. Once the playing field was leveled, these problems reappeared.
A coach as ideologically specific as sarri must be given freedom to choose players specifically for his needs so he can adapt. Instead, heâs received almost 0 support from the club and is crucified for not being able to realize HIS vision with THEIR players. Iâm an arsenal fan and even I can see that Chelsea are throwing away a great coach because theyâre used to buying ready-made success and not building something that becomes sustainably successful.
Yeah... Chelsea fan is ego and want an instant success... We need to learn from Liv... Their first season with Kloop was not that good(ended up being in 8th in epl).. Look at them now... Their player is more organize and very good at pressing... Sarri just need more time and support from boards and fans
Chelsea most definitely DID have a culture to speak of. It's the culture of low racism and cuntery personified by their former captain and the approximately 25 times a season their fans are filmed doing crazy racist shit.
Shit club, shit entitled fans happy to be the plaything of a literal mobster, that's the culture at Chelsea.
When the checkbook stops buying success, 90% of their plastic fans will switch to supporting City or PSG, the rest will go back to complaining about how they had to sit next to a black person on the Tube.
Prior to 1993 Chelsea's culture was to watch teams like Southampton at home with barely more than 7000 in attendance.
Love Tifo Football series in youtube. You cover the whole of football world. From team, players, manager, management, Stadium, fans, tactics, organisation, terms, transfer etc. Good job Tifo. I gain a lot of football knowledge from it. That one thing Tifo haven't cover yet from their analysis is the term of "HOLLYWOOD PASSING". Always heard it from a lot of Tifo series. Hope you can make one from the term. Tqvm.
Finally the video that I have been waiting for so long, thank you , you guys are the best :)
Best whiteboard football channel on CZcams.
This channel has way better football analysis than what some pundits were blabbering on live television.
As a Chelsea fan its finally nice to see someone look at the situation with logic, instead of just blaming the same individuals for the implementation issues we are seeing. Class video!
fantastic channel! Love your vids. Keep them coming
it has been three(?) years straight that whenever hazard got the ball on his feet, the entire team stops running, i know he scored and assisted tons of chelsea's goals, but if he's going to madrid, i dont really mind tbh. the team has to go through a baptism by fire, starting hudson odoi and pulisic down the wing next year is fine by me as long as the team is playing as a "team"
I love Eden to the death and what he has done for us. But I do hope he leaves, its best for both parts. He can have a BIG chance of winning the CL and at the ballondor. If he stays here he will be 31 and the board still hasn't figured out what the hell the vision we has a club. YET another season with Alonshit at LB, If I where Eden now I would probably contemplating committing suicide. Its fucking awful the players we have at the squad and the board has a bunch of dicks stuck right up their asses. The team needs a WHOLE new look. Sell a bunch of players and rebuild, but buy players that suits this style of football and not because they are popular or have a big reputation. It can be a 27 year old reject, don`t care, if he suits Sarri`s system than thats whats needed. Not a bunch of 30+ year olds who is gasping for air after 20 mins of play time.
@m zaki true
It's true, when Hazard was out injured, the rest picked it up, Willian actually bothered and Pedro performed well. When Hazard is on or even on the bench, the rest just think that Hazard will get the win. So Hazard leaving may be a blessing, we shall see.
Can you please make a video about match between Ajax and Tottenham, their strengths and weaknesses and how the match will be played, which team is more likely to win and etc.
Tifo ur the best........I love your channel completely.......In fact I am at a loss of words to appreciate ur vids
The problem with Chelsea struggling to break down opposition sitting deep has been present for the last 5 years. If you look back they have dropped points agianst weak opposition every season. This is a problem in Chelsea, that ALSO SarriÂŽs system has struggled to find a solution for. The later part of your analysis seems valid. That the midfield 3 fails to stay compact, resulting in easy transition againts them. But as someone else meantioned in an earlier comment, the breakdown against City, is probably more of a mental, rather than a tactical. Usually when they conceed, it is because they bring a lot of players forward because they struggle to break down the low block and getting caught on the counter.
He lacks time pure and simple, we have to get rid of some of these players who cant change and bring in players who can
Leone Mitchell this
I always knew you were the stupid cousin. Sack Sarri.

Very well put together
Great analysis. Well done!!
still the first season so i donât want to be to critical as this is a squad is shell of what could really become under sarri , just need patience & trust.
This didnât age well đ„Žđ„Ž
Clearly it did as he left Chelsea.
@@AddictedGamerFIFA Absolutely clueless football fan here, Sarri left Chelsea because he wanted to manage a club he lived near. He won the Europa League and made Chelsea qualify for the UCL.
@@Drae2212 then why did he take the job? only to leave so early? or did he forget that england "wasnt close to where he lived by" when he took the job? nice excuse bro
@@DaFifaKid Then why did Sarii win Chelsea the Europa League and make them qualify for the UCL in third? what I said was a fact- sarri wanted to be in Italy, what excuse am i making? Do you watch football?
That's why Kante is so important in the central midfield.. he can attack, dribble, intercept, and create chances...
the dynamism kante offers as a complete midfielder is what Sarri's golden boy Jorginho lacks...
Another great analysis video.
do a liverpool vs barcelona tactical preview for the ucl semi finals
*preview
Jorel Redrick Albay yeah sorry my bad...typo
U have said that players aren't providing movement therefore u see jorginho struggling as players movements aren't good enough
This guy just sound smart...and the content is dope...thumps up
Tifo is a genius
Che lack width in attack, especially when H10 and Pedro play as they both cut inside. There're not enough movement in behind the defensive line either, too many players coming towards the ball. Things have been a bit better with CHO holiding his pos out wide and RLC prepared to take on players and shots though.
I completely agree with you, perfec example was against Burnley (cho didn't have a good game but he prevents the full back from being compact and joining the back 4 and creates space between the full back and the cb immediately he went off burnley became super compact because Pedro doesn't play wide
Against Burnley i feel rlc should have gone more towards the the cf position to trouble the cb instead of just standing and watching hazard and Emerson
I don't agree with the logic that you need to change your formation to *adapt* . That is not true. U can play the exact same formation every week but you can change the defensive and attacking structure and tactics within it because a formation has literally no consequence on a teams style of play. Thiago Motta defined it best saying that these numbers are misleading. The problem is that sarri doesn't change the attacking as well as defensive structure or even alter it which means. That like Mourinho said, they are easy to analyse and create plans for. The space between the centre-half and the fullback (particularly on the left but also right) has been an issue since the second game of the season as pointed out. The biggest problem for me is the fact that jorginho is literally having to make almost everyone In the team into puppets and instruct them. When he is manmarked(which also was tried at Napoli) the other players have not yet acquired the understanding of the system to adjust accordingly and instigate build up like Allan would at Napoli. The issue of the quality of the centre half's is a great spot as they don't have the multi dimensional capacity of Koulibaily who would also help build up. The pressing is also clearly very faulty and they because of the fact that they dont have the physical capability in the forwards to be able to press with the right intensity regularly to win the ball and the tactics aren't perhaps helping solve this issue. Great video guys!!!
You are good đâ
@@rabahtaha3016 thanks!
I'd love for you to do a video like this for Atlanta United. There is so much talk about why the team is struggling so much. So many theories
The issue is that in the Premier league teams are getting used to possession based football and setting up to spring counter attacks. Also, he makes too many like for like substitutes and even pep guardiola makes tactical changes to defenders or his attackers based on the opposition and the game. Sarri has a footballing identity but one of the key drivers of success in the modern game is adaptability and that's why Mourinho faded out at United
Most of the players in the club got so used in playing a defensive style.
The Gonzalo goal against Burnley was very bold, I think he's getting his confidence back.
Definitely true that low defensive block has worked against us this season, but suggesting our cb's can't play long "hollywood" balls? That is precisely what david luiz is known for and his passing is far in a way his best quality. More like midfield connection with front three/movement of front three is why we don't break teams down.
Favorites for last top four place and in semi final of Europa league, not been too bad.
Simple the players are arrogant except kante and the fans are too demanding
Not at all true. Just get too comfortable I feel
@@echiebai no hazards mind is on real madrid kante is in the wrong position david luiz is shit
Lenovok4 K4note "hazards mind is in Real Madrid" yet he has 50% of our GOALS in the prem. In order to play more possesion and offense we don't need a DM. Thus this system doesn't have one so we don't need Kanté in front of the defense. We need him to lead the press, which he's doing and he's been great. Also he's very underrated in the technical sense. This myth that we should put Kanté "where he belongs" (when he's been playing CM next to another DM in any other season and was never lone DM) is just counter-productive and won't HELP or benefit the team at all. Think about the team as a whole.
This is a typically ignorant statement
@Cobbster sarri is not upto the mark but still can you justify chelseas defense?
I really wanted Sarri to be successful at Chelsea. But, it seems nearly impossible.
Arjun Saha epicrantman
such great analysis, love your videos and im not even a big fan of football.
Thank you for this I hope many Chelsea fans will watch this and stop blaming Sarri for the bad form.
So why did sarri not favour Giroud in the premier league then? He was great with his back to goal, and has been far more confident than higuain
Cuz Sarri has two sons his wife forces him to play, Higuain and Jorginho.
Can we also admit EPL is FAR more competitive than Serie A?
Yeah, no. Outside the top six it really isn't, whilst in Serie A even the lower teams can set up really well defensively due to their tactical competence.
Kitomir I dont agree, the Italian teams are better with tactics but the squads in the lower half of epl are FAR stronger than in serie A and you see the smaller teams challenge the top teams all the time it, except when man city just THRASHES teams weekly
Kitomir as someone who regularly watches serie A games, and even supports and watches every game of my team Genoa, itâs clear the epl is of another level. Juventus have only lost 1 game all season yet lost to Ajax in the CL, and would lose to the likes of Liverpool and city. Serie A is competitive but the quality isnât their for it to be as competitive as the epl
..But in the last 10 years or so 4 DIFFERENT Italian managers has won the EPL..
@@matthaeus7762 So? Liverpool have also lost only once, and to be honest didn't deserve even to go through to the knockout round of CL ahead of Napoli, which completly dominated them. As far as quality of the leagues go, do you really think the players in epl are so much better if Salah managed to score as much goals in one season in Liverpool as he did in 3 in Serie A? Also don't forget that Roma outplayed Liverpool last year and only didn't go through due to the horrible refereeing.
Best football channel on CZcams IMHO
Chelsea play an isolated 433 too, hazard and willian are alone on the wings, Giroud or higuain are stranded in the box and there's too many gaps, I think if he adapted it to a 4321 with a 4141 in defence it could work. The principles Sarri implements are good, but the set up is wrong. It leaves players too far away from passes and attackers can't combine to make chances, the players at Chelsea are exciting, loftus cheek is so powerful with the ball and Hudson odoi is very skillful.
Jorginho would look world class playing for pep.
It seems the one mistake he made
In his Napoli there was Allan, Mertens, Insigne, Koulibaly. He brings god damn Jorginho
Jorginho is the only reason why Napoli was able to play it. he coached all the others to do it properly but they worked hard not these guys, they dont work hard at all
NyanMAD yes. There's nothing wrong with Jorginho. If the players around him play quick, move quick we'll see him strive. He's already had some very good performances when we play well. He's not the best player in the world, he needs the players around him to move with him.
@@DayzAhat Scream it louder
you forget the owner of Napoli said he will not sell any of his other player to Chelsea because he blames Chelsea for turning sarri away from Napoli
Chelsea needs : Meunier, Varane /Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Bale as left back, Witsel, Thielemans, Praet, Levandowski, Carasco. Team 4-3-3 : Keppa, Meunier, Varane /Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Bale, Witsel, Kante, Thielemans, Willian, Carasco, Levandowski
Such a marvelous explanation..
The way we defended against city in our 2-0 win and 0-0 draw was our best defense throughout the whole season we should defend more like that but it's not our coach, it's the players some of them need to leave ASAP. We went from fighting for the title to fighting for top 4... sometimes it hard being a chelsea fan after 2 disappointing seasons but TRUST THE PROCESS, klopp and Guardiola both had the same issues in there 1st season and 2nd season they improved. WE ARE CHELSEA AND WE CAN DO THE SAME đđ
The fucken coach, ,we don't have one, Sarri is a fucken joke man he never won SHIT in his life what makes you think that he will win anything in London
The squad isnât Good for any type of football.
There needs to be a good overhaul
Carling cup final, in the Europa cup semi-final now, good chance of top 4, all in his first season! i wouldnât go as far his tactics are failing!!!
This is from a man united fan btw
Veler why do you think that he's struggling against the top 9 teams. Why was he able to beat them at the beginning of the season, why did Alonso and Barkley stopped performing and started costing us games. Was because of Sarri tactics or the sudden drop in their mentality.
I know that you only accept Winning but can you not see that the players are causing this problem themselves, Sarri said this a million times and complains about it every time. You can never score if you can't move without the ball. I have yet to see them move without the ball.
Yeah but Jose done that and where is united now
What a stupid fucking argument.. guardiola didnât even do that in his first season but look where he is now!! All Iâm saying is itâs his first season.. he hasnât got all the players he wants.. he mainly has players from old conteâs regime.Start giving people time!! I donât like Chelsea but to blame fully his tactics is bollocks! There are weeknesses with his tactics but itâs overall done pretty alright in his first season! Or fuck it sack him and do it all again next season!!
Needs Zola to play. Lol
Smokes too much.
Another brilliant video
Interesting video... personally feel the biggest issue is we lack goals from midfield, we donât have anyone capable of double figures. Kovacic has been a complete flop, and the idea they might retain him is frightening.
When you see kante at the 10 you know somethingâs wrong
Kante is more of an 8 here
FAILURE TO ADAPT is the key part, Sarri needs to watch this
3 games to go and we're currently on 4th. not all is lost tbh. if we finish 4th and win the europaleague I'll be very happy with this season.
we had a lot of problems this season, which is why we have been struggling a bit. for one, I think "sarriball" is a flawed system that lacks variety and flexibility. it might have worked in italy but premier league football is on another level. then there's a lot of out-of-form players who kept starting due to sarri refusing to rotate.
I think the transfer ban (if it happens) could be a blessing in disguise. it would mean that hazard probably stays while great young players return from their loan and put pressure on the "older" guys. abraham, clarke-salter, mount, etc. these boys are hungry and will fight for their place in the starting line-up. this passion is what we need and what I wanna see
He made the most out of what he inherited finished in the top 4 and completely dismantled a direct rival in the 2nd most prestigious final in world soccer..I think that's a brilliant tenure
67', Ross Barkley in for Kovacic
yeah that is what i hate about sarri
Mostly everybody is selfish and they only want to score a goal when in box, nobody wants to pass, no teamwork.
Secondly, nobody has the ability to give good crosses or passes.
Well Hudson-Odoi can cross, but still I get the point with fullbacks. Maybe forget about Marcos Alonso and start Baba Rahman?
We have seen flashes of good play and it looks amazing. I think he needs one more season and a more complete squad to get better results next season.
This is spot on
Arsenal boss disagree!
CHELSEA 4 ARSENAL 1!
MAGNIFICENT EUROPE LEAGUE FINAL.
respect for another great Italian manager!
one simple word: stubbornness. too stubborn with Plan A which got found out with no Plan B to change tactics.
can you make a video highlighting how liverpool might have been playing differently or perhaps more clinical this season, how they went from a top4 side into legit contenders
(ik van dijk finally gets to play the entire season and alisson's arrival definitely played a huge part in it but can you make the video anyways)
Fantastic vid tho was waiting for the playing no defensive mid point
David Luiz is very capable of playing "Hollywood passes"
Why it hasnât work at Juventus lol
Some of the play they have achieve has been mesmeric at times, and at others they have just not clicked in the same way
Also, Kepa couldn't catch nob rot in a brothel.
players dont fit the system. sarri needs to bring in his own players
Stoned Turtle canât the transfer ban is gonna destroy Chelsea
â@@TheShadowman79it could seriously damage our season but the ban has been appealed so chelsea will most likely be allowed this summer.
@@maumau6961 The ban will remain in place while being appealed, which will take a year at least. There won't be any summer signings for Chelsea
As a Chelsea fan, I admit that weâve been rough on Sarri. However, Sarri should get another season. With the right funding and time (depending on our impending ban), I think we will perform much better....
Good analysis. can you make a video talk about Manchester united's recent performance?
Great breakdown...He is too rigid, too predictable and very stuck in his ways...they dither too much in possession especially in non threatening areas...once Hazard departs...Chelsea may struggle heavily...oh and Higuain is a dud...
izzojunior He has too be rigid if he wants to implement this complete 360 overhaul of Chelsea. We've been a defensive, counter-attacking orientated team for years, and in order to transition he needs to be rigid. The predictability is due to the players not performing as well as they should or players who haven't adapted yet. He's also to blame because he doesn't make in-game switches that effect the game but if Plan A isn't working well enough how the hell do u expect them to have a plan B. His system is about penetrating the dangerous areas, quick movement, quick one-touch passing. It will take time.
Sarri's tactics doesn't work anywhere even at juventus also. He is the worst manager for juventus ever.
Itâs the first season man relax.
It isn't only his fault.If you remember,both Guardiola and Klopp struggled in their first season,because they didn't had the player they needed.But then,they bought some and now they have created two amazing teams.Same goes for Chelsea.If Sarri is given the money and time to buy some new players and create a team who can play Sarriball he will create a great team.But with this tranfer ban,I can't see this happening.
Anyways,sucking him is not a solution.Whoever manager comes,he won't do better because of the tranfer ban.Let's hame patience.
Spyros Paraschis okay but they adapted with what they had until they could get the squad that fit their style. Sarri isnât even open to trying to change tactics even when weâre losing bad that try another method wouldnât make a big difference. That is the only thing that worries me about him honestly.
He finished third and is in the Europe league final. That's a pretty damn good season all things considered.
@Christian Hernandez what does this have to do with anything? It only highlights that tactical Italian managers are capable of wins should they be given enough time.
Do you think Lee Cattermole is the answer?
10 times better than Sky Sports MNF analysis. great job!
impressive how a good chunk of this was devoted to analysing the 'defensive phase' and even the left side is highlighted, yet no mention of the reliance on hazard causing the defensive shape to constantly be imbalanced. also quite interesting how sarris failure to adapt was highlighted, but nothing about jorginho was mentioned, BUT a picture of kante was displayed in reference to hollywood passes needed to unlock deep defenses, which isnt his role, its jorginhos! the same jorginho who is constantly picked despite bad performances and is the reason that the opposition scores so much cut backs and headers
Plus Jorgino is playing in Kante`s former position where he was more effective as a defensive midfielder.
@@markant9534 kante has never been a DM but has always been a box to box CM playing alongside real DM in drinkwater at Leicester and matic at Chelsea. There is no DM in this system. Please stop the ignoramus misinformation.
Please do a video on the transfer bans
Chelsea have a solid team of individuals. They need to play up and down the wings and avoid passing around the middle, as the wingers (Alonso, Hazard, Willian, Pedro) are the strongest players and most technically gifted
Alex G237 Alonso???
@@jakemitchell3506 I think he is trolling with the Alonso part, Alonshit is fucking crap and should be fucking relaesed for how awful and a shame of football player.
Overall your analysis is on point but there are a few salient disagreements imo.
First of all, our centre backs have been able to pick those 'hollywood' passes from time to time, just no consistently enough. David luiz to Pedro v City at home comes to mind. I think the more concerning part is as you put it, the structure of attack and midfield which then leaves midfield in question and the defense vulnerable. More often than not when caught on transition, Jorginho is too easily out muscles and out run.
Also besides the movement around and towards the ball, there's also a problem in supplementing the attack using our full backs. Napoli's full backs had been very important in providing some good crosses. However Azpi seems to have really struggled in the attacking phase this season, Alonso has been poor and Emerson while better than Alonso, also just doesn't cut it. The over relaince to sometimes play through the middle means one needs to rely on crosses from wingers and full backs.
Because itâs his 1st season
Do you remember peps 1st season with city ?
He came like 3rd or 4th and he got destroyed 4-0 4-1 by Everton Leicester and more
He lost twice from Chelsea as well
Exactly. And the team had a meltdown against Chelsea, Pepe included.
Thank you
I want a video on Getafe CF and their wonderful 2018-19 La Liga season...where they are challenging for a UEFA Champions League spot
