Tight game but credit where it’s due and regardless of whatever the result ends up our tactics have been bang on today.
Our front 3 have pressed their back 3 whilst shutting off the pass into Jorginiho which has ended up outnumbering them in the middle and leaving their front 3 isolated whilst pushing them back to a back 5.
As I’ve said before Nunos tactics often actually suit playing against the top teams as he’s always got good results against them but today it’s not just been a sit back and counter, we’ve taken the game to Chelsea which is a slight surprise to me and a good sign.
They’re champions of Europe and so well coached and very hard to play through so the way we’ve played so far has been impressive I have to say, bodes well if we can keep this XI fit and keep taking the game to whoever we play.
