Chelsea put on the 'performance of the weekend' against Wolves | The 2 Robbies Podcast | NBC Sports

let's go to my statement performance of the Sunday games wolver Hampton wonders we're hosting Chelsea it's Chelsea under de morasco that we we basically the papers have been full of 40 to 50 players some with the manager some with the reserve team coach unell one Loan One play one I mean it's it's the actual game it's like fantasy manager but in real life Rahim sing and Ben chilwell look like they experienced players with a number of others who going to be out on loans and different things um it felt chaotic at Chelsea and I wondered well I actually didn't know what to expect today I wanted to look at morasa Team having seen them against Man City so difficult to against Man City but way to wolves is is a challenge against a Gary O'Neal to we know will always be tactically well set up and well coach what could this young Chelsea team do and what would moresa ball look like about this guy and he was at ler and he's a pep disciple and that but your Premier League manager your first away away game against a team that you hopefully would beat what did it look like musty well start me off my I can't it's too much there's too much to say there's too much to say it it it was it was the the performance of the day maybe of the weekend in terms of what we learned um we've got confirmation the style um and the confirmation is it's it's man City's team basically you can go through I can go through right now and tell you player for player what they're trying to do malag Gusto the right back zipped into Midfield like Le does or sometimes on the other side they do that um so they build up with three at the back two Midfield players well two one holder in ciso and Gusto and then Cole Palmer and Fernandez go forward the Wingers like City have Wingers m on one side mudrick on the left side and Nichol Jackson up front and they're very true to that style he's a pep disciple we we saw it at Leicester city Rob though quite frankly see a lot of leer games there's a lot of games we watch in the Premier League um but the the the N it is chaotic right and I think by the way I hope that in previous podcast couple the preview one in last weekend I think that it's different right we did a big feature on the show today in Chelsea and they're the list of players and they're going to get rid of a load and some are going to go on loan and they're training it that's very different yeah absolutely we got to be careful of rubbishing It Off by the way because it's different and I hope that we haven't done that we' said what's what we've seen been cha there's been tons of signings and I think I've said how are they affording these their their better accountants than I am if they can not get in trouble with PSR if they can make some money on some player trades and they can create the most important thing is they can create a good young entertaining attacking team for the Chelsea fans then then that's it that's it no ain't saying that're they're they're almost there but today was a wow that that's fun to watch and it's gonna be fun because they're gonna attack a lot they're gonna defend a lot they're gonna concede a lot of goals and my excitement isn't that Chelsea are gonna be brilliant from now on him but my excitement is oh that's it we know what to I can see now if C doesn't play well lavy will play there oh I can see now that they got Pedro Neto to play on the left if mudik or anybody else oh I can see now if you want something different to Nico Jackson then you got Joe Felix playing as a false name that we saw in the game and there's fullback cover there's Center back cover oh you can kind of see now and it takes a couple of weeks what he's trying to do but again it won't be plain sailing there will be some endtoend chaos losses probably but I enjoyed it and I think where I I'll pick up on those those points are I think we all felt amongst those 50 players these are team in here well we I mean there's a group there's a group of of talented footballers here that if they can be some stability if the ground can stop moving if we can we can hone in on things and remember saying on our podcast and I think I even mentioned it last week and thing Enzo marasco's biggest challenge is to concentrate on his players who are playing in his his squ what he's doing and he came out this week and I didn't mind him almost saying you know what the ones who aren't with me are not really my problem I would always say be honest to to players we've all been players robbed sometimes you have bad news you don't like to hear it but you'd rather manage be honest to you if somebody's not going to be part of your plans and I believe he's been respectful in going to Sterling chill well and saying I don't see you you're getting minute so you know if you can get get yourself another club that's what what I want I absolutely have no problem with that that's a manager's prerogative if he's happy to let but what we saw today was the first step and signs of what stability might look like for for for this team I don't think much is going to change now I think he's done the right thing and probably said you know what there's two directors of football there isn't there it's like okay I see what you're doing wow that's a lot please please let we only work with 22 23 players and then the others can train at a different time or which again it's so different but if he nips that in the bud and works because pep always likes to work with a small amount of players and then young Youth Academy well I looked at the Outfield players for Chelsea kuar is 26 nobody else is was older than 23 21 22 23 and and just let me put this one in the dressing room in terms of what what that could mean in the Jing room was when you go to Rahim Sterling who's been a great Pro good goal scorer good servant to the to Liverpool and Manchester City and Ben chilwell who was g was excellent in the summer series we through him and he's had his injury problems but you go and say respectfully R I've loved your career and that but you're not for me those young boys in the dressing room have a standard set and they know that I've got my chance here but if I'm not doing it right if he's prepared to get rid of Rahim Sterling he prepared to get me sends a message and and delivers things and and I think regulates your dressing room Rob so that I don't know that maybe I'm picking a name out that yeah maybe Gusto and and and and feels a bit awkward around Sterling because it's Ry Sterling if I do something wrong he's a bit edgy all a sudden he could be he could be taking some of that from the dressing room and and and this young group who all look today Rob they look like a group of players enjoying each other's company and enjoying playing football and nobody enjoyed it more than non mow and we got to mention his actric and the way that he's been one of them that that Cole Palmer was one of he's an early one like oh interesting sign up from City uh oh is actually amazing Mada some good games some bad games is he really the guy and I'm sure I've said that before by the way I'm not sure about M but he's young and he's turning into he's turned into a flipping a really effective player that scores goals in a wide area so he deserves a mention Co pal we know all about three assists from him the goals from mow Rob just I mean we spent a long time on Chelsea here but they deserve a long time on the I'm excited it's like ah I see the the blueprint there might be small variations but I think the even the players that came in Rob it was the same setup and he tried every he tried he tried Felix in different positions with the subs he's really trying to sift through what he's got and make everybody this is how we play and it can work it can work it can be fun to play well I'm going to go to my unappreciated perform of the week Robby M and I think true to what you said we've got to give this Chelsea project chance to to to fa and flourish and mature my under underappreciated perform of the week is eno morasa the Chelsea manager because the expectation and and the early signs were like hang on a minute correct he had a year at Leicester city he didn't do well in Italy he's not mentioned Top Flight in the Premier League before a manager yeah everybody's conceiving negatives in the doubt let's let's just be open let's give this guy a chance we we saw signs of things today that look very exciting yeah it's not consistent we know the all that's got to come we know teams have got to grow think where arsenal were two years ago to where Arsenal are now time if masasu and a couple of chfi Windows and a couple things getting this squad he wants Apparently one of our stats people today gave me a note Ender marasco is the first manage in premier league history to see his team score six goals in his first away games in the Premier League full stop I'm going to throw one word and then we're going to move on and that word for Chelsea is continuity come on this this looks good window sh yeah continuity with the manager with the style with with the squad the first team squad you can do your your buy your players and all that but but let's let's let this leave it alone now for Seasons I know he's got a long contract big call by the way for the directors of football to change Postino and I questioned it and I said wow why would you change it when he's found the winning formula well maybe we just saw why because there is something better and this guy plays a style that the fans are going to like even more and get the most out of the young players hi there I'm Rebecca Lo Studio host of of NBC's coverage of the Premier League don't forget to hit subscribe to watch more
