A Tactical Chess Match Between Maresca And Arteta | Tactical Analysis : Chelsea 1-1 Arsenal

[@rikachu571]

The frustration is that Gusto is often Chelsea’s spare man but lacks the quality in possession to capitalise on that. Can’t help but feel that when James is fully fit he’d be better suited

[@KVOSkillz]

James is fit but I think maresca feels that all the running up and down the role requires will mess up his hamstring again that’s the problem

I'm continually surprised by Maresca's tactical fluidity I keep expecting that rigidity he was criticised for at Leicester to crop up despite multiple instances when that opinion is proven wrong There's still lots of room to improve. I personally would like Nkunku to play alongside Palmer in the attacking midfield role. That, in my opinion would handily solve the issue of putting Gusto there when he's better in the overlap where Madueke's forced to be instead of cutting in like he's (Madueke that is) best at.

[@adedejitimileyin3937]

I think Maresca deserves some credit..for all the talk of him not being capable of managing this Chelsea team when he was appointed. Even I hopped on that bandwagon when he was appointed.

[@LindyNowak]

whatsinmy AI fixes this (AI Video Analysis) (AI Video Analysis). Chess Match: Maresca vs Arteta

[@kalebteklay6840]

Palmer shouldn’t have been used in the left half space rather on the right. Nkunku should have come on for Jackson earlier. As for Arsenal, Odegaard and Saka are the only way they create chances and Saka wasn’t good in this match.

[@remicharlot1462]

Chelsea is doing su much right, but there is one evident flaw at the moment: Gusto is a not a good enough finisher to be finding himself in attacking positions so often. His header in the first half is an example, but I think this has a fix: it’s time to put into discussion Madueke’s spot. I would drop him and play Felix or Nkunku instead (but I think the Portuguese is better suited). They obviously don’t play in the same position so it would require the system to be tweaked. When in posession if I were Maresca I’d ask Gusto to stop inverting and instead take up the wing, like a more traditional attacking fullback and as he did last season. Palmer would occupy the right half space (his preferred position, or at least where he played last year) and Felix could play in the left one, where he could link up with Neto, they seem to have a good understanding. So in posession the team would line up in a 3-2-4-1 with Gusto as the right winger instead of an attacking midfielder. In possession Palmer would be required to help Gusto on the right, getting back into Maresca’s 4-2-3-1. Let me know what you think

[@cobhams007]

Well Cucurella was 'Man of the Match' so talk about being in trouble? He handled himself well.

[@ottok2076]

Even though Cucurella had a great game(not bring dribbled past even once) most of Arsenal’s dangerous attacks came from his side. One player simply can’t cover the spaces that Arsenal’s most dangerous attacking threats, Saka and Ödegaard that is, created with their intelligent movement. Cucurella made the best he could out of a dire situation. Nevertheless, he kept getting into tough situations and couldn’t always come out on top in all of them due to it being almost, if not completely, impossible.

[@Peacemakers099]

But why does Maresca use Palmer that way😩😩😩

[@timothyoluwafemi8078]

Fr right side of the midfield not left not chelsea fan but even i can see it

[@michaelu3055]

​@@timothyoluwafemi8078 it's cause of defensive balance. If Palmer occupies the right half space, either Gusto would be forced to the left half space or more likely Cucurella would be the one to invert. I think he trusts Cucu defensively better than Gusto. Besides Saka was the greater threat than Martinelli and thus required more focus.

[@BreezeElna-gi6di]

​@@michaelu3055 But Enzo should play with a classic 8 who can occur the areas of a 10 and single pivot and an Inverted fullback

[@michaelu3055]

[@johnadu-yeboah4906]

Gusto is occupying the spaces palmer is supposed to be occupying hence his lack of efficiency gusto shouldnt be inverting cucureilla should be inverting letting palmer occupy the right hand spaces

[@onlyhalftooth8277]

Someone had to be sacrificed for the balance of the team, if Cucurella had been inverting, it would have left Saka enough space to be at his best and use that to his advantage, that’s why Cucurella had to stick with Saka, and Gusto was left with the task of inverting, but unfortunately Gusto as always was wasteful in that postion, all we need is someone who can do that effectively, if we had a player who could do that effectively, I can tell you for sure we would be winning most of these big games.

[@owusuemmanueljnr]

He is playing Palmer out of his favorite position, allowing Gutso to do what Cole should be doing instead.

[@lwandomadikizela2213]

Moresca needs to play Palmer on the right side since he was out of the game by Partey. Pedro Neto is a baller and White had a tough time stopping him and Chelsea could have won if Gusto took his chances. Should have brought Nkunku much earlier to affect the game and Arsenal could have won it at the end if Trossard buried it but it would have been offside anyways when Saliba was standing in an offside position. With that game Arsenal can forget about winning the Premier League title. It's top 4 or bust now.

I can’t believe how the press is gushing over Chelsea. We are only 1 point above 9th place in the table, but 9 points behind Liverpool. I can’t see any signs of improvement in our defence or in the balance of the team, and Maresca makes some questionable decisions. He loves playing players out of position and his in-game management rarely impact the game. Remember, we win our last five games last season. Yes, there’s cause for optimism, but let’s stop the over-hype, we are miles off being a top team, and are closer to being g in the mid-table pack. Drawing with a poor Arsenal and poor Man Utd sum it up. If we had beaten them, then we could have raved.

[@akachied4166]

Bro, our last 4 games were Liverpool N'castle united & arsenal & we came out of it on 3rd. Our next 11 games are winnable, that's potentially 20-22 points & it'll solidify our 3rd place

[@haophan1965]

can't believe I can hear this kind of comment bro... First, let's start with the initial expectations, a new coach with no experience in the EPL, a good squad but too many players,... You are comparing points, why compare with Liver, do you really think Chel can compete for the 1st position this season? Why not compare us who are only 4 points behind Man City - the champion last season. If you want to compare, compare with Chel in the previous season, we currently have more points than last season while having faced almost all the top teams. You criticize Enzo's coaching style that he does not bring effective substitutions. The simple answer is to remember who assisted Neto in the last match :)) I'm not talking about MU but why do you think we faced a "poor Arsenal". Arsenal have almost the strongest squad, while their playstyle has been built over the past 3-4 years. I agree with the opinion that Chel is not capable enough to win against strong teams, but remember this is only the first season. I agree with the opinion that our CB is not good enough, but this cannot be 100% blamed on Enzo when the quality of Diasi - Badi - Tobi, even Colwill are all questioned.
