"Some tactical notes on Atalanta ahead of the Champions League game against Chelsea. Opposition Analysis Thread 🧵"

"I think we can begin seeing a version of this in the women's game as well but in a slightly different way. For context I'm referring to the Chelsea-Everton game from last weekend where Chelsea dominated possession whilst Everton defended deep in a 4-4-2 - refer to images X and X for the tactical details. To find solutions the Chelsea forwards would often rotate and at times we saw the left winger Lauren James drift central and more importantly receive passes deep (image 3). This proved to be quite effective since Everton went player-for-player in midfield. So Chelsea could create situations"

"If Everton persists with a back four against Chelsea there are two opportunities that the players will have: X. Gaps between the center-backs and fullbacks since the Everton defensive midfielders often lose concentration to cover this space when the fullback gets dragged wide to cover the opposition winger. X. Defensive midfielders can also get dragged if for example they're trying to cover the space mentioned in the first point. This can leave the Everton midfield empty. Situation X suits Guiu whilst situation X suits Pedro. Expecting Guiu to start though"

"Random note - winning second balls are going to be so crucial against Everton. When they attack they mix it up by just going long and Everton do they've intentionally got Barry/Beto who's great in the air drifting to the same side whilst the other teammates get closer to get the second ball"

"Worth also adding to the previous points on Everton's vulnerabilities during defensive phases - the root cause is not a structural issue. That's not the point. The gaps appear and more importantly leave them exposed because of the passivity in their defensive third. This coupled with the facts that they do not use a more natural back five and with defensive midfielders susceptible to losing concentration/not identify spaces are what causes them to look open. Hope that makes sense"

"To clarify when you say dangerous situation do you mean that Everton pushed Chelsea back Yeah I see what you're saying. But I also understand Maresca's intent for decreasing intensity since players are probably tired and he doesn't want them to get gassed out quickly. And Chelsea still did go for it (try and score more goals). They were just selective"

"@Lecouleur11 I think it was down to the below reason as to why Chelsea didn't always look to play vertically even if there was opportunities to do so"

"This graph from @footovision illustrates one of Chelsea's main issues out of possession in my opinion and that is to do with how we're set up in the middle third. Admittedly I would've assumed Chelsea to rank slightly higher for successful high block pressures. However Chelsea's second lowest ranking in the metric for the middle third isn't too surprising"

"And that's because these gaps are constantly apparent when Everton drop deep even if they form a situational back five with Ndiaye dropping back. This can also be exploited via late runs from deep - whether that's going to be from Chelsea midfielders/fullbacks it's there to be taken advantage of"

"Dortmund's first goal against Hoffenheim is an excellent example of how a team can break the opposition's man-oriented press. For context Dortmund are set up in a 4-2-4 shape. Anyway the move starts with a pass from the left center-back (Schlotterbeck) to the goalkeeper (Kobel) and importantly Kobel has his body open and receives the ball to his strong foot. This triggers the Hoffenheim striker to press Kobel by curving his run to block the passing angle into Schlotterbeck. However the Dortmund pivot (Nmecha) times his run to receive the pass from Kobel in a way that he's got enough"

"Palmer's goal is in exactly the space pointed out two days back - Everton look vulnerable in the space between the center-back and fullback since the defensive midfielder does not plug the gap perfectly. The space isn't as wide for Chelsea's goal but Palmer capitalizes. Brilliant"

"On the Chelsea-Everton rewatch today. Still only making tactical notes for the first half but I thought Gusto's movement was excellent yet again - really stands out. Performed well as part of Chelsea's double pivot with James"

"Chelsea goal kicks/Everton high press: Starting with Chelsea's build up from goal kicks we saw the usual 4-2-4 set up with Fernandez dropping alongside James as the pivot. Everton pressed with aggressively with a -X here and the deficit came down the right side where Grealish split the Chelsea right-back (Gusto) and right center-back (Fofana) - purple zone in image X. This allowed Everton to have a +1 against Chelsea's two forwards (Pedro and Palmer)"

"Chelsea deep build-up/Everton high block: Everton continued to press with a -X down the left side during Chelsea's deep build-up situations. With Gusto inverting into midfield and dragging his marker (Grealish) as shown in image X Chelsea would re-adjust to a 4-2-5 with Sanchez joining the backline whilst Fernandez pushes up"

"With the Chelsea center-backs splitting wide and Barry (Everton striker) trying to press both of them there was often a very clear free man (Fofana). Chelsea found it easy to access Fofana as shown in the sequence below with Fernandez dropping deep to switch play to the spare player"

"Chelsea on-ball middle third / Everton mid-block: Although Chelsea set up in their often used 3-2-5 in-possession shape from last season there were many interesting details that I noticed throughout the first half which was great to see. Before we get into that Moyes opted for a passive 4-5-1 mid-block with selective aggression when Chelsea tried playing passes through the center or out wide. Interestingly Everton's midfield line wasn't a flat five. Rather they held staggered heights. I wonder if this is to block different passing angles to the space between the lines. Looping in @Tactx_ for"

"2) Image 1: Pedro can drop into midfield to create an overload or drag a center-back to create space for a direct pass that Palmer (highlighted in blue) is ready to capitalize. 3) Image 2: Drag Everton to one side before looking for the switch. The far-side winger would have more time and space after receiving since Everton have a back four which is trying to stay narrow"

"4) Chelsea's pivots who were in staggered heights (image 1) also combined well to break Everton's frontline pressers (image 2) right through the middle. I was quite impressed with how James and Gusto positioned in settled possession phases. 5) Further this brings me to the movement of both fullbacks (Gusto and Cucurella) who did well to offer support on the wings and build wide connections (images X and 4)"

"All of these discussed factors contributed to Chelsea's first goal for Palmer. As we can see throughout the move: - Everton's passivity allows Fofana to attack the space. - Chelsea's wide connection has the needed height width and depth. - Gusto found free in midfield. - Palmer makes the late run between the Everton center-back and fullback - a consistent weakness in their out-of-possession phases when defending the middle third as pointed out before the game (image 4).

"Chelsea's offensive transitions / Everton's defensive transitions: Something I thought that was very apparent which we'll get into from a defensive aspect shortly as well was Chelsea's passivity and clear instruction from Maresca to slow down the tempo of the game to preserve energy especially early in the game. The best example I found was in the 8th minute where Chalobah intercepts a pass in the defensive third which then goes to Fernandez who kills the pace of the move by turning back and giving it to Chalobah"

"I believe Maresca wanted to start this way but preferred his team to rely on counters at the end of the first half since the half-time break was coming anyway. No better example than Chelsea's second goal"

"Everton's build up from goal kicks / Chelsea's high press: Everton similarly used a 4-2-4 build-up shape whilst Chelsea pressed with a -X. There were a few interesting details here: X. Image 1: Since Pickford is left-footed Chelsea had to have their -X deficit down their left side rather than right which is what we usually see since most keepers are right-footed. Chelsea had to keep a +1 at the back against Barry by the way. It was a must since Barry is great in the air"

"2. Everton's left center-back (Keane) was very wide to isolate him and Pickford against Pedro to break the press - that was one option. Also worth mentioning that Mykolenko (Everton left-back is slightly more advanced to pin Neto deeper)"

"3. Apart from using Keane as an outlet Pickford could also loop direct passes toward the free man which is the right-back (O'Brien). This was a straightforward solution against Chelsea's high press"

"Everton's deep build up / Chelsea's high block: The in and out of possession themes from Everton's goal kicks continued here except that Cucurella was more willing to jump up (triggering a Chelsea man-man press) and pressure O'Brien rather than letting him be free. However there was a great chance for Everton in the 39th minute where they capitalized on Cucurella being caught a bit behind after jumping up leading to a super opportunity for Ndiaye"

"Everton on-ball middle third / Chelsea's mid-block: Those who follow my posts regularly will be aware of my criticism of Chelsea's OOP approach in the middle third. So you'll know what's about to come here. Again I'm fine with Maresca wanting to conserve energy and so opting for a passive approach - like he did for settled on-ball phases as well"

"The passive mixed man-oriented and zonal block constantly left a lot of open space beside the pivot (James) which can be accessed indirectly (image X -by playing into the fullback and then into the middle) or directly into the half-space player (image 3). Thus against Everton's 4-2-4 in-possession shape with advanced fullbacks I thought Chelsea regularly looked exposed. I really think that there has to be more zonal elements integrated in this phase to prevent Chelsea from looking this open during open play whilst also conceding chances from set-pieces. Also I think Everton could've made more"

"The usage of advanced fullbacks (images X and 3) and late runs (image 1) were also not tracked by Chelsea leading them to being played through from the wings. On the point of the fullbacks pushing up I thought Everton looked especially threatening down the right flank with O'Brien getting to great positions. That's why they funnelled a lot of their chances down this side (image X - @xgstat) However I thought O'Brien lacked the offensive quality to make the most out of all of the opportunities"

"Second Half: Everton created good chances in the second half but just lacked the cutting edge. Thought they were unlucky to not score even one goal. In the second half Moyes maintained the structural elements of Everton's OOP approach but now instructed them to press Chelsea sooner in the middle third. They were more aggressive but it wasn't a major shift if that makes sense. However Chelsea kept finding solutions to progress possession"

"Further Everton pressed high with a -X in the frontline which also meant that Chelsea could find a spare man through short passes"

"Compared to the first half the early parts of the second were more transitional which also led to a few chances for both teams on either end. Everton also continued creating from open play. Yet again I thought they did well to create chances in the final third but just didn't have the last bit to covert it into a goal"

"Yeah fair. That could potentially be a point of reason as well 👍 Did still have James in midfield to compensate as much as possible. But not sure what stat you're looking at to tell that Everton are a top transition team. I'm looking at Opta and Everton are quite low for fast breaks. Here's the link. Maybe there's another metric you're looking at If so do share. Would be interested to have a look"

"As pointed out in the replies this was also partly down to Everton's defensive approach. Chelsea also weren't always risk averse. In the clip Palmer plays an early pass to Pedro. Garnacho also had a chance in the second half with I think Sanchez playing it direct from back to front. Maresca also does not always have the players go risk averse. Chelsea were fairly direct against Burnley by mostly looking for passes above the backline - especially in the first half as I remember"

"I'd be very interested to know what exactly the senior management is critical of/questioning Maresca on. For me he's done well. Don't think his position should be under any threat. Yes Chelsea have not been perfect but there's been steady progress. I'd get Maresca's frustrations if he's not being backed and supported internally. Would be the wrong decision to sack him. If anything I'm surprised that this discussion has even come up. We've not even reached a point for that to be a question in my opinion"
