Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

[J Money]

Mahrez is too damn silky with his left. Dude's close control is next level.

For whatever reason Pep has him on the bench most games

 

[NSSVO]

Rashford makes that

 

[Bboystyle]

Breh kepa does that shyt more then anyone

 

[Roid Jones]

Larry Aguero

Zouma trash. Rudiger can't return soon enough.

Zouma trash. Rudiger can't return soon enough.

Chelsea need a solid DM with that trash back line ...oh wait

Mahrez is very close to a starting line up. This is Pep's internal chart when choosing players

 

[Ukbrotha]

Strong competent midfield lineups. Couldn't be my team.

 

[Roberto Firmino]

You hate to see it

 

[Quarquar]

Kante

 

[analog]

Why isn't Mount coming on?

 

[Quarquar]

How many times is Jorginho going to lose the ball?

It wouldn't matter if Kante played there. The CB's play out from the back and play a high line with both FB's push on high. Kante doesn't have the passing range to consistently beat the press or to initiate the tempo, to do the role with the way Chelsea want to play. If the they were a defensive team and played a low block then yeah, but they aren't.
