Just want to say, really happy with how well your channel has turned out. The world cup videos will be legendary
The even more shocking thing is BlueCo doing something smart and ambitious.
Imagine Garnacho being told to play these tactics 😭
0:10 ‘top managers’ only to show Calum McFarlane and Liam Rosenior 😭
11:50 Estevao can and has said previously he would also play as a 10, so sounds like he would actually benefit from this system
Being a Chelsea fan is so fun. Every other season we get to refresh and dream about the possibilities
i am already terrified for Reece's hammies.
This and Tifo is all I need for Football info
Colwill in the middle, and Hato on the LCB.
Feel like I'm dreaming. Can't wait for next season and to see what he can do with the likes of Estevao and (a rested) Palmer
1:56 how were they 20th when there's 18 teams in the Bundesliga
Mr Cleary could we please get a, "How Aston Villa became European champs again" video. Love you long time ❤
Sorry to nit-pick but shouldn't the stats on touches in the defensive third and tackles in the defensive third make them 18th in the league, not 20th? As there are only 18 teams in the league... I AM FUN AT PARTIES!
That wingback inverting into no10 is Valentin Barco.
well we got him
J. Pedro and Palmer would be the perfect two number 10's 🤩, no? I remember Joao at Brighton, he often played deeper than a nr. 9, he was brilliant
Generational refresh pull
been waiting for this for such a long time
Fast paced movement sounds good , watching Maresca towards the end was turgid and one paced
Estevao has always been a 10 and seen himself as a 10 that can play out wide. The boy will thrive under Alonso
