Chelsea flirted with being a footballing team under Lampard. Youth, open football and all that. They tried that for 18 months and then binned it immediately.
They're now back to being what they've been largely since 2004. A pragmatic, tight, disciplined unit with a big battering ram up front.
This new rule about tackling could turn out to be the best rule they've implemented since doing away with the passback. The amount of times Jorginho hurled himself on the floor at the slightest touch in the 2nd half expecting free kicks was a joke. No other intention apart from stopping the game. That, above all, needs to stop. We need football matches in this country to start ebbing and flowing again, not this 'you attack, we foul you, then we attack and you foul us' shite that's been going on for a while.
