Astrid4:
So Saul is even earning higher than Rudiger walahiii Chelsea is a big joke

I don’t think you should blame Chelsea for Saul earnings

He was earning more than rudiger while playing for ATM so you expected him to collect a pay cut while on loan at Chelsea ?

Havertz10:
aging like milk

This is not a performance issue. As you can see, he has just started finding his scoring boots again.
It's a mentality issue.
I can't explain him romancing intermilan this early into his tenure with us.

Lukaku has done very serious damage to his Chelsea reputation. I see fans booing him every game he plays for us now. He has to publicly apologize.

donstan18:
I don’t care how low I recently started rating Tuchel, but Lukaku was actually very fooolish and stupid for making such silly statements.

Tuchel’s tactics truthfully limited most of our attackers ability, but they kept giving their all to win the UCL.

I hate it when players complain and cry too much, I hate silly excuses, get into that field and give your all. Stop crying ffs. You get paid, stop crying, do the Job or fvck off the club.

nonsense, you hate it when players complain, and players should just get on with on the game, are the players zombies or machines with no brains, to analyze and air their views. so the coach should be allowed to complain on everything from injury,suspensions,covid,refs, and now saying a title race is stupid. shouldnt the coach also shut it and work hard and stop complaining. wetin happen to lead by example.!!!!!!!!

Lukaku just dey looseguard anyhow. It was known in the summer that he didn't want to leave Inter but what will this rant achieve, as if Inter even have money to buy him back.

On the pitch though, he will quieten the ninnies celebrating his outburst

To me, I don't know why TT played pulisic in the RWB position. It wasn't productive at all. Pulisic is not good at that position. We have 2 people that can play there professionally. James and azpilicueta. I also feel he should have started alonso in the LWB position. For crying out loud, that is his position and he was fit to play. Forget the so called speed of lamptey. Rudiger is there to support alonso should he get beaten by lamptey. Moreover when we field our experienced midfielders jorg/kova or kante/jorg or kante/kova, the expectation is that we control the game and hold on to possession thereby not giving room for opponents to play, so lamptey won't have the room to run with the ball. We can't keep playing players out of their positions when we have people trained for that position. Again I put this loss on TT. Pulisic and James should not have been played out of positions.

You got some valid points there.

Though his words were stretched for reasons known to the news outlets, Lukaku fumbled. I am expecting him to continue banging in goals, like he promised in the interview - never give up.

Nothing concerns me with lack of ball playing technique in a striker, just bang in goals and assist.

Thats why some plastic fans are calling Pulisic, Foolishic. Tuchel in trying to solve one problem, creates multiple ones.

liverpool go destroy chelsea. with jorginho as 4 wey ordinary bissouma wan kill. we neva see anything, this one go worst pass mancity own, liverpool go clear our doubt dat sunday. abeg epl better postpone that match, cus of our injury crises, if not i see another crises for tuchel after that game, the aftershocks of his most embarrassing big game crushing defeat, will do more damage to him and the club.

Not trying to defend Lukaku here (assuming this is true) but sure there are things going on within the club.

Players are not robots and should not be expected to behave like one.

As long as he is scoring goals, what else do you all really care about?

As long as you have 13 players and a goalkeeper available, FA ain't postponing nothing

We have 17 players and 3 goalkeepers available not even counting Lewis Baker. We have nothing to complain about in comparison to other teams. Leicester just fielded Ndidi and Amartey at CB against Liverpool and have been using one academy boy in midfield for the last 3 weeks, and even brought back Hamza Choudhury.

When you play robust football rather than community defence system football designed to protect weaklings, you should have no problems facing teams who are also going through similar challenges. In the absence of James and Chilwell, playing with a 4 man defence is not suicide to any team except a team of weaklings.

I wouldn’t go that far to underestimate Tuchel and Chelsea against Liverpool. Tuchel has earned his respect amongst top managers in the EPL. Despite his current situation, he is a very good tactician and understands how to counter the tactics of top managers. It will absolutely not shock me if he outwits Klopp when they match up.

I don't know why TT is whiny. Brighton had many players out as did Leicester against Liverpool. Every team has had to deal with injuries, COVID19 and suspensions. Rather than deflecting and passing blames, TT has to concede that winning a long and painful 38 game long season in the EPL is no light work. He is intelligent enough to learn but he has to be sportsman enough to accept it.

Fair argument but that doesn’t mean Tuchel is unconscious of his situation. It is a matchup between 2 top teams with intelligent tacticians and from what we know and have seen Tuchel has always held his own. Tuchel goes into this matchup the underdog and that can usually go the other way.

That is the rules for postponement bro - you must have less than 13 outfield players and 1 goalkeeper available.

Count with me

Sarr
Rudiger
Thiago
Chalobah
Azpi
Alonso
Jorginho
Kante
Kova
Saul
RLC
Barkley
Ziyech
Odoi
Pulisic
Mount
Havertz
Lukaku

That's 18 of our registered outfield players fit and available. TT is just whining because he has a fragile system and weakling players and must play a certain system. On a normal day, there is nothing wrong with playing Azpi as LB and Chalobah as RB and moving to a back four if you feel you don't have wingbacks for your system. . . . Teams everywhere are patching. . . . but TT knows that will expose certain weaklings in our team. The only thing he is missing is wingbacks jor.

Reading Tuchels post match interview, it felt like he was demoralized.

This is the time for Tuchel and the boys to step up and show what they are capable of, otherwise it's just gonna get harder.

Any which way, we are here to win.

Y'all igbos don't like hearing the truth. If we school you now, you'll run and call the mods or start reporting.

nateevs:
Lukaku has thrown a spanner in the works. I am sorry but that is absolute needless nonsense at this point. As if it wasn't bad enough already, discord has entered the matter. This is really bad.

hmm....don't be so sure boss.
There are things that we don't know.

Mad oh

The peak of entertaining football. Quite interesting vid.

Those feeble minded Lukaku fanatics have failed to realize one thing, we can't mount a serious challenge with such an unintelligent striker. His lack of skill has made him fluff too many goal scoring sequences and folks here would ignore it. Let me not talk of his lack of movements which fails to stretch defense lines... Or his inclination to escort defenders.

At least with Costa, he combined brute force with technique. A reason why he was able to face those big teams and come out on top. Cos against these big boys, only the little details matter and this often requires technicality. Sad reality is, EPL now has 1 to many big boys.

So, I will not celebrate that bumbling idiot for scoring against low oppositions and then go to bed when the big boys come. Any unbiased mind can easily notice that he has made us too predictable...

User09:
Let's be honest. This has all the tricks of the English media sensationalism all over

I'll wager a bet that this was an old interview. They waited for the right time to drop the kicker

old interview like 2012/13 season? Or September just a month after joining? There's nothing to wager here. Man had no business criticizing his coach's system or talking up a return just a few weeks at the bridge. Chelsea spent £100m and he met the team as champions of Europe. He should show more respect.

Theuniverse:
nonsense, so lukaku should not air his views, and his views will cause disunity in dressing room, but our coach is interviewed saying our hopes of competing not even winning epl is stupidity, imagine, so we fans expecting a title race are stupid and the players too are stupid, the board included, so how does that comment affect the dressing room too, so please tuchel should stop saying shit, cus the players will react too.

Lakaka apologist

Tuchel always said this season is just to close the gap between us and City/Pool

I don't think Jorginho will start that match and will be very surprised if he does

OJURONGBE1:


It is already over. Our best chance is to stay within touching distance of the top 3, but it is becoming increasingly difficult with Spurs & Arsenal breathing down our neck.
Just 1month ago, Man city were 3rd on the table with Liverpool in blistering form beating teams black & blue but the tide has turned and Man city are running away with the league.
Guardiola is a Premier league legend already.

You were the one saying lukaku was injured and I told you Tuchel don’t fancy his style of play, now you can see.

swiz123:
I was always skeptical of signing that bouncer. I had hoped TT would perform magic with his technique so its effect would be minimal.

Little did I know that his attitude is worse than his disgusting ball control

You want a coach to improve a player almost going 29 with big ego and complacency.

chief are you aware lukaku’s presence in that front is a big disadvantage, he doesn’t press from the front and run to deceive when without the ball. Tuchel’s defense starts from the front men.
