BHA really missing Van Hecke. They are trying to play out from the back still but it's been total chaos.

A good portion of that is mitigated with Van Hecke in the lineup.

Love Dunk but he is too slow at his age and Webster has barely played Football over the past year and a half.
The issue is that chelsea have yards of space in the midfield to create these passes. The systen is not fully adapted for the highline unless you have VERY fast defender but even then. They had 10 chances through the highline. This is not just on the defender the midfield are not doing their job.

Van Hecke essentially plays as defensive midfielder when BHA has possession, and manages to blunt a lot of counter attacks and create counter attacking opportunities for BHA. They are missing that role today and it's leaving huge space.

Palmer is so good. Imagine what Chelsea's attack will be once certain analysts pick up on Maresca's patterns that definitely don't exist.

As I said Ven Hecke is a huge miss but the whole team has been horrible, the midifeld, the defenders and even the forward. It's not just one player missing but the whole team playing horribly. I refuse to believe only the addition of Hecke would have saved them today. They should have purchased better defenders instead of getting all that depth with their fowards.
