SURVIVAL METER - DEFENCE

- Wingbacks play as false /wide wingers
- CB play close together with ability to cover wide areas
- Ball playing CB to slice passes through Lines

0–40 -High-risk

Gusto— poor attacking output and attacking indecisiveness. Could sit out much or be replaced if no improvements.

Tosin- Anybody can play in this system including uncle. But he could struggle with wide area coverage when wingbacks fly.

41–55- Should survive depending on adaptation and tactical development

Sanchez— Shot-stopping gives him a chance despite limitations in buildup phases. A ball playing keeper is not one of Alonso's obsessions.

Cucurella — Defensively aggressive and useful, but attacking delivery and back-post timing must improve.

Chalobah / Fofana / Sarr— All possess traits suited for a rotational back-three environment. Must just cut out individual mistakes to survive.

55–80 -Strong compatibility

Reece — Natural guaranteed starter. But the wingback role is too demanding under Alonso. The injury will be his mate.

Colwill — Elite line-breaking passing. Be used as the Central ball playing CB alongside two stoppers/careers.

WildCards- High-upside tactical weapons

**Hato*"- most probably to be used as LCB.

Quenda / Diego Moreira— Wingback profiles that could explode in Alonso football due to direct running, fast transitions and great attacking and technical skills. Neto could also be slotted here

Anselmino— Fresh start under a new coach could unlock him. We know the raw capabilities; now it becomes about adaptation and opportunity.

May need to add another ball playing CB as Colwill cover.

Alonso - The Man

Before the Alonso's Midfield team sequel, I thought it important to pen this.

This is the first time the fans are having an almost unanimous agreement on who they want as the next coach.

The management have had their way before and terribly failed. Now they need to give the fans their option to fail too.

But looking at Alonso's stats, it's so crazy that we are still being linked to the likes of Iraola and Marco Silva. Just crazy.

Real Sociedad B
✓ First promotion to Segunda División in 60+ years with mostly kids

Leverkusen (18 Months)
✓ First ever league title
✓ First ever domestic double
✓ First ever unbeaten season
✓ Europa League Final

Above all, He:-

✓ Integrates youth, nurtures and develops them in his teams. Our youth teams are rising again. Good for them and good for business.

✓ Clear Identity and tactical versatility

✓ After Madrid burnt his hands, there will be almost no better job upgrades than Chelsea since he can't be accepted at Barcelona, and Liverpool will have a sour taste in their mouths. You are almost guaranteed a Simeone-like long-term Atletico like project.

This is not a fluke. This is a man who knows what he is doing.

I hope our SDs stop thinking they are too clever to the point we lose the guy. The same way they were clever even when Enrique and Flick were free.

Liverpool can even smell the danger, change their minds and hang Slot for him.

Thats when we'll hang the SDs.

Welcome to the Chelsea family, RocNation! 🤝

🚨Chelsea striker Sam Kerr is playing her last match for Chelsea this weekend. Huge news.

After six-and-a-half memorable years, Sam Kerr will leave Chelsea when her contract expires this summer.

Thank you for everything you've done for this club, Sam Kerr. 💙

#AfterThought

Now that we have perfected the art of " The Bomb Squad" Florentino Perez is about to find out why we gave the players 17years Contracts.

You can't wait for their contracts to end and the player can't bully the club into submission.

Fingers crossed this is the case tomorrow 😉

#HALFTIME

Balanced & Entertaining

#FULLTIME

A loss but a very decent performance.

Lots of positives to work on.

Changes.

Just pushing Enzo alongside Caicedo then field another proper 10 alongside Palmer.

Gusto is also a hardworking wingback but attack wise though he is just a cross spammer at best. Zero attacking brains. That's one position that needs addressing if you intend to have attacking threats wide.

FireSide

#BottomLine

We have a very shitty emotional fan base.

Most can't think outside the influence of their emotions.

Is this the first final we are losing? Whether with Blue Co or Abramovich ? Are we the first club to lose a final.

Accept we have been in the gutters. And today was a positive first step towards redemption.

When wrong, say it. When decent, say it too.
