Yeah, possibly.
I think he...
in a press conference environment was probably as honest as he sort of could be because you never know if that's what he really thinks obviously behind closed doors.
I said on review I have major concerns on Chelsea in the first half because he even said in his pre-match press conference to Chelsea quite accurately that they will build out when they've got the ball they use three at the back.
So when the team sheet drops and people are like, ah, could Chelsea be playing a back five?
Could this be a back three?
Now, that might be a bit different to what they do out of possession.
It ended up not being too different.
But in possession, there's no surprises there.
So what, they build out on a back three?
You knew they were going to do that.
You even said in your pre-match press conference they were going to do that.
So Chelsea didn't do anything particularly exciting down our right, their left.
Cucurella stood on Jones.
they tried to move Enzo over into that area.
Jal Pedro was flicking between Canarte and Van Dijk so they're not sure quite who's on him and trying to make sure he takes Canarte's attention so there's no cover for Jones in that area.
But letting the opposition centre-backs have the ball when you're
one nil up might be one thing but when they start putting stuff into caicedo that's when you you're on them that's where the intensity is on there and you can't have any footballer getting their chin up and having a look around because they're gonna look a lot better than they are you've got caicedo and enzo
getting the chin up, having a look around Anfield, maybe seeing if the mates are in the crowd, they've got that long on the ball, you are going to have problems.
And when you actually look at parts of Sabazlai and McAllister and Gravenberg in the game, I don't think they weren't grafting.
