Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Slotification of Liverpool is nearly complete

[Roid Jones]

Getting worked by this Madrid team is legit embarrassing.

Bro I'm watching this like how are we not beating this team

Benzema's in another zone

Villareal gonna regret all these missed chances after Bayern puts 4/5 past them at the Allianz

I thought the 1st leg was at the Allianz, Bayern can't wait for the 2nd leg

Carlo couldn’t have put a worse team out there.
Corpse of kroos, carvajal and modric getting bailed by Benzema

You think the 343 done? Kinda giving me the Conte 2nd season vibes. Teams have worked out to play against it. Not sure of its sustainable without 4 high quality wingbacks.

With the number of defenders leaving might be the perfect time to transition to a back 4 which Tuchel has done at times this season but obviously hasn't looked as secured.

I don't think it's a formation issue as much as it is a personnel one.

Chilwell's season ending injury and Reece James being out for 2-3 months in the busiest period of the year effectively ended our title hopes and any real hopes of competing in Europe. James is back now but is super rusty.

I think Tuchel went with a back 3 because it suited the team he took over. And instead of really being backed in the summer after winning the CL the club got him a striker he didn't really want and Saul. So who really knows what formation he wants?

Just to add, Tuchel doesn't have any serious forwards. I've got nothing but admiration for him for making us believe with arguably the worst set of forwards at any top club in Europe.

It's not sustainable and doesn't work without true wingbacks, he's committed to it hence why I want to see his vision with players he deems appropriate brought in. Even with that said a lot of the current players have been shocking for a while now

Everton getting relegated with Lampard as manager it’s beautiful.

Everton fans were singing "Super Frank" at 2-1

Taking Anthony Gordon off when he's their best player currently was a mad one

They'd have more points with Rafa

Benzema been a monster last few years maybe Cr7 was the problem all along, I know he had to adapt his game for him but he’s gone up so many levels.

I agree with the personnel side of things. I find the team kinda slow. The lack of genuine goal threats from other areas and when you see the line up it feels like it's 7 defender types and 3 attackers makes it more a counter team than a possession team. When I watch Chelsea it's more functional football than exciting.

Knowing Tuchels history at Mainz Dortmund and PSG he was flexible with the formation often dependant on the opps.

We know Chelsea and transfer phuckery with previous coaches. Happened with Jose x2. Ancelotti. Wanted certain players especially after winning trophies and get given something else altogether.

CR might have held him back tbh
