Be it Krasnodar or abjfjkh from abcd league, it was a UCL night & every player live for such nights. Playing Chelsea or any top club for them is a huge thing & they literally were far more hungry to make a name.
But by Chelsea& #39;s standards it should have been easy.

1/

As any football game this game too should have been won in the middle of the park. If your engine works fine then automatically the system also would.

Jovacic were completely trapped in the middle and were unsuccessful many a times while linking up with the attack.

2/

Kovacic had a hard time replicating his form from last season getting a long awaited start .
To complement what Jojo lacks Kovacic was deployed to pivot him. Kovacic was helpless as a pivot coz if he pushes up it would leave the back 4 vulnerable. (J5 had to foul the players)
3/

Neither did Zouma/Rudiger help out the team by finding line breaking passes nor did Jovacic& #39;s misspasses help the team. Even with a pivot our team looked as if we lacked someone in the middle.
Clearly showing what Jorginho lacks if his pivot decides to do something new.

4/

FL saw this vulnerability and made quick hour mark changes, helping his team stabilize. But yerdas reppin Jovacic comin up with things like
"Krasnodar decided to not play football after 60m" "They got tired after 60m to not have a single effective counter afterwards"

5/

This same CHELSEA loving fans would have ripped FL apart if he had stuck with the same pivot and drew the game 1-1. "FL Out" "Zero in-game management" "FL has no system" "FL has no tactics" ......such would have been trending. But when it comes to their favorite player https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷" title="Person shrugging" aria-label="Emoji: Person shrugging">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦" title="Person facepalming" aria-label="Emoji: Person facepalming">
