Julien Laurens

And he was right at the end.

He said, if we play a normal tactic, if you want a normal system, normal football, and then we were 2-0 down after 10 minutes, and then you would have said that I should have done something different.

So in that sense, he's right.

The only thing I would say, and having been at the game,

Chelsea at the start of the game are out of this league.

They're not in the final.

And in a way, his system and his tactics and the game plan played so much, too much in the hands of Arsenal, who just were like, okay, so you're not going to attack us.

We're going to do what we do best, which is control the game, control the ball.

And that's exactly what they did.

And I think for him then to change, to go to the back four, to bring Estevao, Ko Palmer, Ko Palmer on the right side at the beginning, which makes no sense anyway, but it doesn't matter.

It was too little, too late, I felt.

And at times they moved the ball well.

And I just think if you had actually started on the front foot or it'd be more in a more attacking way than doing nothing in that first half apart from that Enzo shot, really, and then there was not much more in the second half anyway, you probably could have caused Arsenal more problems.

But maybe you would have still lost.

Maybe you would have lost 2-0.

Maybe you would have been 2-0 down after 15 minutes.

I would rather my team being knocked out

after trying than being knocked out without trying, because they didn't really try.

Even at the last 10, 15 minutes, when they put us under pressure, it was just not enough from them.

And that's the only reserve I have about his tactics.
