Abegi o...... I wan make am o.

KingAlabi:

Not to bring an agenda, but 2 goals out of 4 we have concede this season has been massive deflections.
We are still shakey defensively, we might need to rely on outscoring our opponents.

If Tottenham plays this same pattern against us, one thing is sure, we will score goals in the game, just don't know how many we will concede.

If Spurs played they way they did in the first half against us, we will spend the 2nd half chasing the game...

How Chelsea managed to contain them in that opening 45 mins is what we try to highlight when we talk about their fantastic set up.

patrickmuf:
They're very well drilled.

Saul was the player that made them suffer against Villa. I am certain that the next time we see Saul, he will look very good...

Tuchel just knows how to set his team up and if the opposition manager outsmart him, he reads the game fast enough to make corrections to his set up and personnel...

You see everyone putting in that shift defensively and the energy is there to attack. They don't need many players to attack. A couple of players with some deficiencies but they're able to function as a unit which masks all those nonsense people were complaining about before.

KingAlabi:

There is a reason Chelsea couldn't play well with saul and kovacic in their midfield against Aston villa, this midfield three will be suicidal.

.... until its tried out, we wouldn't know Bro.

Mahn, OGS is very useless

Oasis007:


See.... Risk is success, even it doesn't end well, you didn't fail but Learn. Ole should at least risk McTom with Pogba as Pivot, then Bruno being his usual Bruno.

Aspire to maguire.

It's the fact that those players are allowed to even calm down and take the shot that's the problem.

We will eat them raw with counter attacks, only Leeds this season has been where we had space to counter.
Other teams have sat back.

patrickmuf:
Kante and Matuidi before, now Kante and Rabiot...

If my memory serves me right, The games Matuidi played at the World Cup, he played mostly from the left, almost as a winger. The pivot were Pogba and Kante.

Oasis007:

Not by a coach like ole, thank you.

Oasis007:


Jah bless you. I never see the cry for a DM. What does a DM actually do? Marking? As a Team, well drilled Team, you won't even notice any lapses.

DVB, Pogba and Bruno can play together in the midfield. DVB showed it against young Boys that he can play 6 so why the Fuss for an unknown Gunman DM.

Unfortunately I don't subscribe to these 3 o. A crazy Pep won't even try that. Opponents needs to be closed down tirelessly. We won't get that from the trio

If West Ham had Antonio today, we for hear am...They were in so many good positions where a good pass was all that was needed...

Baba football is not all about counter attacks, we need to find a way to vary our play depending on the opposition...

Are you his PA?

Lol

That really has to be corrected, it is very tiring, the other was a worldie and the last a counter attack goal.

Our CBs play too high into the opponents half, I don't see that in Chelsea CBs, hitting us on a counter is just a delicious meal waiting to be served.

I have always been of this opinion too...

Like Oasis007 also opined, this idea of trying to "acommodate" Pogba by all means is detrimental to the team.

well he has 7 assists. he'd get some leverage as is.
however, with his current contract situation I'm surprised he's played so many minutes already.

patrickmuf:

I doubt the bolded, because we will have been conscious of him, on breaking down the opponent, we need to improve, west ham and Newcastle game was very anti football in nature.

Oasis007:

A concerned fan

patrickmuf:

cool down na. United have beaten West Ham with and without Antonio.

eph12:

Check again. Not just Ngolo in that midfield

The point is that Pogba owned that French midfield - he orchestrated play from deep, always made himself available for passes, didnt dwell on the ball unnecessarily, wasnt all about the usual showboating we get to see at Man utd, and most importantly, put the team first and played for his manager.

We saw a similar pogba in a double pivot for us at some point last season and even the great paul scholes had this to say :

"He has got his head down, cut out all of the flashy stuff and now looks like the Pogba that plays for France - the one that won the World Cup - in that he keeps it simple and performs consistently.

Lana1:
Why did PSG sack Tuchel sef? He was doing well for them.

I miss Lampard

Juicy scummies tears

I remember scummies saying "Because his name is tuCHEL they thought he was made for Chelsea"

KingAlabi:

Your argument holds no water.

Even if we jam Chelsea with our full squad, the kin beating wey dem go beat us eh, CR7 go regret joining our club.

ChristineC:

It is a tough decision for the coach, It is not easy for a coach to bench an inform star player.

slimghost:


If my memory serves me right, The games Matuidi played at the World Cup, he played mostly from the left, almost as a winger. The pivot were Pogba and Kante.

In that world cup, their attack was Mbappe, Greizmann and Giroud...Matuidi played from the left but he mostly served a purpose to defend rather than attack...France kind of low key packed the bus and depended on the speed of Mbappe, Giroud's hold up play as well as Pogba's passing.

In the just concluded Euros, they attempted to be more expansive and they paid the price for it...

WarAgainstBegga:

Your argument holds no water.

Football is not mathematics. Don't be surprise, if we trash Chelshit.

In that world cup, he started the first game or thereabout and had a stinker and was dropped (My memory might not be spot on) for the proceeding game after much criticism from the French people. Baba had to step up...

Expert17:
Herrera's alert

@Illimitable

Herrera is gold.

He is starting again tonight against Lyon. Herrera has silently relegated Wijnaldum and Paredes to the bench.

Surprisingly..... no Mou Alert today. Joezinho, wetin sup nau?! Any update?!

We won't trash Chelsea. Stop shying away from the truth!!!
