CHE VS MIL: Wrong Decisions Graham Potter Made In Today’s Starting Lineup...CONTINUE READING
Chelsea hosts AC Milan at Stamford Bridge in their matchday three UEFA Champions League group stage fixture. It will be a deciding game for Chelsea as they’ve dropped points in their last two group games, a win against Milan today would boost their chances of qualifying for the next stage of the competition.
With the lineup already announced ahead of today’s match, there were two wrong decisions Graham Potter made in his third game in charge as Chelsea’s manager.
Graham Potter has managed to be unbeaten in two games, Chelsea’s performance against Milan today might decide the season for Potter. Here are the two wrong decisions he made in today’s match.
1. Playing With Three Center Backs
From what we’ve been seeing so far this season, the Three center back system haven’t been working for Chelsea. Graham Potter needed more players in attack rather than in defense, an additional man in midfield would have been handy.
Graham Potter decided to stick with playing with wing backs just as Thomas Tuchel has been doing. Using the same system with the same players game after game haven’t been working for Chelsea and it might be too late when Graham Potter notices it.
2. Playing With The Same Attack.
For the last six games or so this season, Chelsea have started with the same players in attack. Whereas players like Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech are always available on the bench waiting to be called upon. Players like Mason Mount haven’t contributed much in front of goal this season.
The Englishman haven’t been at his best at all this season but he still gets more playing time. It isn’t fair on other players.
