Potter might change to back three in attempt to get results – Talk Chelsea

Thomas Tuchel determined he couldn’t use a again 4 at Chelsea because of the personnel he had. He used a again three to be able to shield and get one of the best out of gamers corresponding to Thiago Silva and Jorginho.

Tuchel was most likely proper to setup in a 3, however ought to Graham Potter be doing the identical seeing as we nonetheless don’t have a real defensive midfielder in our squad? Might switching to a again three now assist him get higher leads to a time that he deseprately wants it?

Enzo Fernandez IS a six, positive, however he isn’t a holding midfielder and is liable when remoted there. Denis Zakaria is the closest we now have to a holding midfielder, however he doesn’t typically get utilized in that function.

So the argument I’ve been seeing is that till we lastly land a real defensive midfielder, ought to we be enjoying a again three formation to be able to shield gamers once more, and get one of the best out of Reece James and Ben Chilwell in an attacking sense?

I utterly perceive the calls and I actually get them. I’ve all the time needed to stick with the again 4 and I’ve not needed to digress backwards to a 3. However as I say, I do perceive the argument proper now and it won’t be a foul thought in any respect.

Though I additionally need to add, that I actually don’t suppose it issues what formation we play proper now, as a result of our issues as soon as once more stem from lack of leaders, weak mentalities, and a supervisor failing to get on high of it and giving us any fashion of play/identity- as of now at the least.

I do suppose a again three with Chilwell and James as wingbacks might give Chelsea extra in an attacking sense, and it might additionally permit for a extra fluid entrance three relying on the formation.

It’s definitely most likely price Potter at the least having a take into consideration proper now, and it’ll additionally permit for Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashile, and Thiago Silva all begin collectively – all deserve that of late.
