Lampard is attempting to build the team in his image, but to do so he will have to dismantle some of it as well.Р”В«ut it is not all doom and gloom. But stylistically, they do lean more in one direction than the other. The players signed thus far, including many of those linked, can play multiple positions which allows them to slot into many different teams. The solution under Petr Cech and Marina GranovskaiaРІР‚в„ўs team building (with Frank LampardРІР‚в„ўs input), seems to be to play both sides. Related Story: Chelsea predicted XI: Realigning and rotating for Watford Is it better to have a holding midfielder who can defend, or have one who can dictate play through the middle? And how does one or the other shape the rest of the midfield? Look no further than the NРІР‚в„ўGolo Kante versus Jorginho debate. Midfield is about the only place this discrepancy can be mitigated, though it can still be an issue. It is not easy to build around one or the other while keeping the other player in a position to help the team. Tammy Abraham, however, needs someone feeding him good service over and over. There must be goal scorers to feed off him. Again, it is good to have options, but if a player like Olivier Giroud is looking for assistance, that dictates the players that can surround him. But it is a very delicate balancing act to put those two types of players together. ChelseaРІР‚в„ўs back line consists of bruisers as well as players Pep Guardiola would love to have spraying passes. While it is good to have variance in players like Marcos Alonso and Emerson, how they fit into the entire unit is an issue. The issue is most evident when putting a microscope onto those sections. The issue is when certain sections, like attack and defense, do not work together well because of the mishmash. Mostly, they just muddled things.Р”В¬helsea became a team of hard working players surrounded by highly technical tika-taka players. The managers between his two stints and after his second all tried to put their finger prints on the club too. His fingerprint on the club lasted arguably until Maurizio Sarri took charge and then it arguably returned (in part) with Frank Lampard. The only manager to really move Chelsea in one solid direction has been Jose Mourinho. No, this does not make any sense but it has basically been ChelseaРІР‚в„ўs way, on and off, for nearly two decades now. The next manager saw the handle and decided they needed to replace that with a ruler. Is it the same ax? Now imagine they replaced the ax head with a hammer head because that is what the manager said was needed at the time. Then the handle broke and they replaced that too.
