Chelsea vs West Ham United (PL) Sun 5th May 24 14:00GMT

The commentators are saying West Ham are giving us too much space, but I don't think they understand how much of a difference Cucurella is making in that midfield. It's taking an extra West Ham player out of the game, that is where the extra space is coming from. It's a brilliant move from Pochettino.

I have no idea where poch got this tactical masterclass from (cough - ake/cancello at man city - copying pep)

HT team talk is given too much play. Look at some of the Jose's ht talks with Tottenham. They are not anything to rave about and Jose is the one you'd think would be the fire in the dressing room. And they have to be according to the persona. I am pretty sure Carlo doesn't really go at players at Real. 

Pep and Arteta have given the blow-dryer treatment in some clips but not sure if that is something to rave about. Talking to players need to mean something and sometimes players really need to listen. I am sure Pochettino can do that if needed. Preparation to games happen in the week.

The lads are flying. Kudos to everyone today, including the manager.

Either way I'm not complaining, provided he sticks with this set up I'd give him another season

Looks a decent player TBF.

Lmao the keeper gave up a long time ago

 

[PloKoon13]

We are eviscerating them down our right. Jackson, Madueke and Gallagher have them on toast.

Oh - I am not complaining either, but the tactic of pushing the left back into midfield is pure pep (not sure if pep himself copied off anyone)

 

[Sconnie Blue]

Chalobah and Gallagher being sold will be such a dark mark. Ownership need to do some accounting tricks to keep both.

Better late than never he finally addressed it. 

 

[BewareoftheDrog]

Most of the Hammers fans have gone home

 

[Gordon Bennett]

Great effort at the near post Noni

 

[just]

Madueke is on fire. So unlucky there.

 

[Gordon Bennett]

Kudus is a good player. Sell Sterling and buy him.

 

[evissy]

Cucurella's been solid but again he makes the lunge forward and leaves all the space to Antonio to attack. 

 

[Gordon Bennett]

Better late than never he finally addressed it. 

Bizarrely the recent injuries seem to have forced Poch's hand to play in a certain way. Let's hope he doesn't revert when players come back to fitness.

Madueke feeling cocky, nice to see.
