Yes, they had free runs from midfield at our defense
But who's to say tryball wasn't instructed to get forward more? I think it's more the way the team is set up, rather than individuals why we are so open.
I'd also say this Chelsea team is very good. They took the European champions to penalties in the supercup and finished third in the league last year. No one is saying that we can write these games off, but at the same point we need to be realistic and not get down when we lose against top 6 teams by the odd goal.
We won't really change the way we play. Farke has said this. We will.playnopen and we will concede goals, whoever the personal on the pitch are. But we will also score plenty. I personally think we will win enough games to stay up with this approach. Time will tell.
