All week, talk was about Piastri helping Norris win the WDC, but it seems no one bothered to tell Norris to help himself!

Norris 17th in Baku after being knocked out in first session. Piastri on front row in second.

Leclerc on pole, Verstappen 6th, out qualified by Perez who's 4th.

Seems the issue with the car is now fixed suited more to Pereszz driving style?

Lerlerc though was flying in the Q.

Saving penalties is not that difficult if you know what you're doing

Really

BlewMahn:
Archer had previously never even taken a pen before in his professional career. Brereton meanwhile, is 7/7 in his career.

So why did they let Archer take it?

e shock you abi?

Na so teams dey quick relegate.

Playing good football for 25 mins then boom swallow 2 goals.

izzou:




Why, my beloved Enugu?

Why?

But Carragher was not bad ohh

We are saying the same thing nah, that there are at least 1000 better defenders for Enugu.
Your beloved Enugu

Unlimited22:

😂😂😂😂😂

The guy punditry dey make me laugh because maybe e dey feel say e be élite defender during him playing days

Average Joe 😂😂😂

Unlimited22:

Top 20 of what? Because it can't be top 20 of ALL DEFENDERS.

He isn't even top 20 of Premier League defenders.

Top 20?
He ain't top 1000 for Enugu. Yes, I said it.

BlueRayDick:


If you listen well, u will hear the arise sports analyst saying he called Osimehn and everything he’s saying was what Osimehn himself told him.

It’s not just “someone came to arise to say it “.

You can choose not to believe it, but that’s his own side of the story u people don’t know but have been labeling him all sorts of name since the transfer saga began.

Sad but people want to and will believe ONLY what they want to believe.

No waste your time explaining nada. To label person no too hard them.

Tricia14:


Is medicare in Australia not free? I read it is free

Nothing is free in Australia. Nothing.

If its "free" means say elections are coming and even then it still ain't free

izzou:


His first offer was a loan; His agent said no loan.

Sterling is on loan, yet receiving his salary in full.

If he had agreed, Both clubs would have funded his pay.

He said he didn't want any LOAN

It is clear that he overrated himself, and Gala just saved his career.

And you know this for a fact how?

nateevs:


So in summary, it's not a new system and we should just get on with it right?

Ibime:


Dey play.

When your salary can buy one or two rental properties per week to set up the rest of your life, nobody will tell you to maintain your salary

This thing called football is just one aspect of their life.

Ivan Toney has been earning £20k per week for his time in EPL. After tax that's only £500k per year. Last year they increased it to £38k per week which is still only £1m after tax. Ivan even if he is prudent (and not a degenerate gambler, which he is) can only have assets worth about £2m at this stage. That can never take him through the rest of his life. So Saudi comes calling with £400k after tax which is £20m per year after tax at the age of 29, he will be stupid not to set himself up. Nobody wants to be looking for commentator job like Jermaine Jenas after football

Loud it abeg.

Tell them.

Amigoss:


Yinmu,na pay make Messi comot Barca and didn't get the proper send off he deserved,Why didn't he play for free when Barca was broke and was almost going into administration

lol
You dey mind them.

drisham:


This is false

Even after taxes sef

Twitter influencers are just creating ridiculous amount

He was offerred 155k rejected it

And now people are carrying fake news of Chelsea offering him 24k after taxes

And you know this how? Are you his agent, brother, cousin or work for Chelsea, Napoli or the Saudis?

izzou:


That is why i am asking if football is a side hustle for him.

You want money, you do anything to pursue it.

You want playtime, you do anything to pursue it.

How can a player who is in his prime choose to train alone for the next 6 months, just because he wants the same salary?

If you na you, you go accept pay cut? O wrong now.

nateevs:


The team is playing a new system. The manager is understanding his players. Nkunku was supposed to be a starter in this set up based on pre-season. We are now seeing him coming in behind Felix and Neto in pecking order.

There's a lot of learning to do. Eventually, Maresca will have to find a way to deal with his Enzo issue. We are not going to achieve consistency in 2 games, even though there is pressure to get there quicker.

Mascara, in trying to confuse the opposition is confusing both the players and himself.

Why on earth is Caicedo playing CB but Fofana is the one running from midfield to prevent a certain goal? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Compare that to what Jiro Gravenberch did for Liverpool against Manure.

First it was " it's just pre-season" and now it's " just 2 games".....Do you need 30 games to know wassup?

I want the manager (any manager) to do well for Chelsea and no one is expecting him to perform magic or transform the team overnight but please don't bring that excuse of a new system, 2 games, bla bla bla....

Nothing wrong in saying things the way they are, just need to focus on improving. dazzal.











Anyway, we are winning the league

nateevs:


You want consistency in the second game?

Still pre-season, innit?

nateevs:


If you've followed the games, you will see that mid-games, Caicedo will always be the RB in the absence of Gusto and James. It allows to cover the RB position as well the inverted RB position with the same player who would have been CDM in the first place.

This way, Enzo moves to pivot and, you can still play with 2 x 8s in attack.

Seems he was at CB along with Colwill with Fofana dropping in from whatever position he was in to cover the CBs.

Is that some tactical innovation? The midfield was basically non-existent.

Ibime:


That midfield na expressway

Player or system issue or both?

How can a team function without proper midfield? This thing tire me o.

A few matches into the season and these boys are already feeling and looking frustrated.

Palmer sef collect yellow.

Settle down and focus. Get this goal.

Get this goal boys!

Wait fes...do we have midfielders at all or are they all CBs now?

The ease at which CP progressing the ball and then slicing through the midfield.....hmmm....

This Mascara football is something o. Caicedo na Centre back now? Fofana inverted abi bawo?

Can the esteemed experts explain abeg.

SimpleGuy001:
Jackson is such an idiot. The werey heard the whistle and still collected a needless yellow card.

Such a dunce

Needless yellow

NinjaMetahuman:
1 change from crystal palace and they are looking like they might actually win this game

Simple magic of scoring goals gives you wings.

SimpleGuy001:


They could have made it uncomfortable for him. The goal was good no doubt

yes sir

Nice intervention there Fofana. Wa gbayi

Enzo5:
which defense would have stopped that goal

lol
You see am too.
said it a zillion times...some goals are unstoppable. If you like park 50 buses, its going in.

CP don dey get confidence.....ta. Get back into this boys.

NinjaMetahuman:
Against wolves, that madueke's shot would have been a goal.

Bang bang bang

Jackson scores

Wait o. Se na Chelsea Crystal Palace dey take dey do practise like dis?

Win the ball back man.
