The Debrief: Flexible formations and width help Blues cope a man down

28 AUG 2022


Using statistics from the game we analyse the tactical themes from the win
over Leicester, including an important formation shift and the role of
Reece James…

Naturally the red card significantly changed the game. Prior to Conor
Gallagher's dismissal in the 28th minute for two bookings in quick
succession, we had enjoyed 70 per cent of the possession, had the only
shot on goal and won a penalty eventually ruled out for offside.


After we went down to 10 men, we had a 34 per share of the ball, ceding
possession to Leicester and trying to force them wide.

In response to the red card, Thomas Tuchel dropped Ruben Loftus-Cheek into
a deeper role alongside Jorginho as we moved from a 4-2-2-2 to a 4-2-2-1.
It stayed that way until half-time when the boss brought Cesar Azpilicueta
on and reverted to three central defenders, with Reece James and Marc
Cucurella operating at wing-back.


The move worked as we enjoyed our best period of the game. Raheem Sterling
scored twice, found for his first by Cucurella and then set up superbly by
James. Between his goals, Sterling also hit the post, Cucurella the
provider on that occasion.


== James confident and calm ==


Tuchel spoke in the build-up to the game about the versatility James
offers him, and the 22-year-old proved yet again why he is regarded as one
of the best young talents in the country, irrespective of whether he plays
at right-back, as in the first half, right wing-back, as in the second, or
on the right side of a back three.

No player in blue spent more time in possession than James, and his
willingness to hold the ball when a man light was matched by the accuracy
of his passing, registering an impressive completion rate of 91 per cent,
the same figure as Jorginho.


Reece's assist was one of two key passes he made, and he also had two
shots, striking the woodwork before the break.


== Who else stood out? ==


His was not the only impressive individual performance. Of course, playing
with 10 men for over an hour requires collective will and discipline, but
standout showings to quell the opposition's threat are also required.


Thiago Silva was one such player, earning sustained applause from the
Stamford Bridge faithful late on. His five successful tackles was bettered
only by Youri Tielemans, who made six, and the Brazilian also won four
aerial duels, a joint game-high figure with Kai Havertz, who put a real
shift in up front.

In goal, Edouard Mendy saved four of the five Leicester shots on target.
Our efficiency in that department will have pleased Tuchel, who has been
calling for a greater clinical edge in front of goal for a while. Of our
seven attempts yesterday, two were scored, two hit the woodwork and
another was on target.


== Set-piece solutions ==


As a team we won more tackles and aerial duels than Leicester, and made
nearly twice as many clearances. That physical determination was backed up
by technical and tactical savviness.


After Gallagher's red card we committed only five fouls, limiting the
visitors' threat from set-piece situations. That is an aspect Tuchel said
we must improve after goals conceded to Tottenham and Leeds, so he will
have been happy to see his players win the first ball from nine of
Leicester's 11 corners yesterday.


Next, he will want a greater threat from corners of our own, one from
Cucurella having led to the red card incident that, thankfully, did not
prove decisive.
