I agree but I do worry about our tactics on this Wembley pitch. Now that may all be resolved with our incomings and I do think the Sanchez signing alludes to altering to this but we are not quite managing games well enough.lol this is obviously bad but the knee jerking is still so ridiculous
No i won't "prepare for a long season" based off of one game
Get a grip
Monaco, Leverkusen and even Gent all did the same to us, happy for us to play a high line as they knew they'd get space on the counter to take advantage of a set-piece. We can dominate these games all we like but it isn't the same at the Lane where we can pen teams in and break their will. We don't have as much control over the game as we'd like.
This is why a wide forward is pretty imperative to how we do at Wembley, someone who can help us get in behind quicker.
Also, Barkley would be a good option because he could help break that defensive midfield protection.
I thought Kane looked sharp today but every time he got into a promising position there was a Chelsea body in the way. Whilst I thought Eriksen was trying his best to make something happen. Dembele was a beast. Unfotunately Trippier and Davies couldn't quite make anything happen in the final third, which goes to show the need for someone like Aurier. They didn't play poorly just that they couldn't really get beyond Alonso and Moses enough.
