‘They still need reinforcements in a few areas,’ Hasselbaink told Sky Sports when asked about his former side and the summer transfer window.
‘You can’t replace [Diego] Costa, they have Morata but I do feel they need one more.''

A true blue talking.

A40:
At 3-0? You be proper strawman. Where was Hummels when them dey beat us properly for pre-season? No Sule cause goal?

Ask your mentor, dayo, what preseason means. When it matters, the big boys show up. Nobody wants to die before season starts.

Chelseafan1:
Lol, we won't take this lailai, naija hard, no dull boys.....U big pass am, forget say we dey follow u argue

No allow spirit of Raumdeuter enter you.

Airmark has done the needful, hence, the bet has been 'betted' like that. You are the boss here. No shaking.

If i no collect this money, you fit curse me o.

@Ibime, bakazard crew needs it badly, you can use the paypal we used last time.

diggz:
No mind chelseafan1 oh....Na useless boy hin be. Niqqa want you to path with that cash by fire by force even tho hin know say airmark wan use ole style chop free money

Wetin be your own ogbeni? Wetin be ole style here? He was so sure it never happened in epl history. I even warned him not to be too sure, he asked me to go ahead and spend £110 on data to get £100. So after spending £110, you no wan make him pay me for my efforts?. Why the thing dey pepper your body like this?

Ibime na big man, he will shame you on this, trust me.

Ibime:
Very rarely, and not for any half-decent team. That Bakayoko and Propper stats will be in the bottom 10 in the last 5 years. I kept it to EPL knowing that Barca and Bayern opponents would have posted such numbers in UCL but I suspected Pep might have forced something close with Citeh, but not to the extent of only making 10 passes.

May be because i watched the match and my mind went straight to it. I had in my mind to check some matches, last season too.

Ibime:
Chai! You mean say you want hammer me again? Airmark, DiarisGodoh!

This Propper must be even worse than Bakayoko.

Anyway, you know where to find me.

In an ultra-defensive approach, some midfielders may find it difficult to post good number of successful passes.

Ibime:
No, the rules is the rules my nigga. Check his position.

Sorry bro ibime you have lost this. That was a probable line up, i.e predicted line up before the official line up was released. The official line up and formation is attached below. Murray didnt start that match. Propper was a cm that day, take the formation to fifa headquarters, they will confirm it.

Ibime:
Davy Propper played behind the striker in Willian position. I'm only accepting bets on CMs

Propper played as a cm in a 4-4-2 for brighton that day, just as you still pinned bakayoko as cm despite playing a bit farther.

Ibime:
Multiply 16 by 62.5% success rate to get 10 successful passes. The match lasted 97 minutes total meaning he made a successful pass every 10 minutes. C'mon Airmark, this is the worst passing stat I've ever seen for a central midfielder in my 25 years watching football.

Davy propper of brighton made 8 successful passes against man city (15 with 53% success rate). Prepare my 100 bucks tomorrow bro.

Chelseafan1:
Make we bone am then.

Bone wetin, call ibime out jare. Where did he see bakayoko with just 10 passes? My hausa boys said they saw 16 passes recorded for him. Once they are sure of the official number, within one hour, they will bring out one cm that recorded lesser number.

Ibime:
It might cost you £101 in data to find such a record, just to win £100.

Chelseafan1:
Airmark abeg do am, make we chop free money jare.

If na kulikuli make person take am buy, chew.

We need to feed the hausa men more kuli kuli first. The digging will hit 30,000 ft below sea level according to ibime.

Ibime:
He was RCM. In a diamond which is what we played, they are all central midfielders. It's not my fault if he is scared to received the ball in central traffic or loses it without even getting to attempt a pass. Kante equally played LCM, and tripled his no of passes.

My bet still stands:

Don't be too sure, i may dig out someone that played fewer passes than bakayoko soon. I have my hausa diggers eating their kulikuli now.

@ Ibime, knee injury can turn you to a dumbo with the ball. I am a living witness, i spent a fortune on mine and when i returned to play, i was a shadow of myself. That's why many don't like to have surgery on their knees because if care is not taken, their careers may end abruptly.

I saw him in monaco playing some matches on bandage last season and i want to believe, the injury might have caused some clumsiness i also noticed in his game. Let's see if he will come out stronger.

Griffon:
This is the thing with arguments on Nairaland. Mates simply argue without assessing the other party's stance.

Last month when you were busy uploading GIFs just to shame Rudiger, here was the reply I had for you:



The emboldened was asserted on July 11, you just woke up to that fact on August 20th.

Conte never used david luiz, kante and bakayoko type of players in the midfield in any of our past matches. I don't know how your july 11 post butressed the fact that we paraded 7 solid players who are good defensively, on the pitch today.

Look, i am not taking anything away from his performance, using this match to bring out fireworks, is a no for me. Dont let us drag this far, cos if we start analysing now, some will think i am dragging his performance into the mud. Christensen did better than him defensively, in my eyes.

Just as diggz said, i will let it slide.

Skimpledawg:
No better words to describe the lackadaisical attitude Morata displayed today when the team was chasing the opposition, just plain annoying. Being shoved off the ball like a secondary school kiddo.

How will that Niqqa lead the team? This is EPL FFS Mehn. You hustle for the damn ball, dispossess your opponent, it falls to your team mate who directs it back to you for a run through goal...

This season would be long mehn

When i said he needed animal pak, did you think i was joking? I had said all needed to be said as regards him before. Nowadays when you tell the truth about something or someone, they call you hater. No need for repetition bro, it's before our eyes now.

diggz:
Bro mk we just leave for he did well.

I never said he didn't do well. Even batshuayi that scored an own goal today, scored a vital goal that helped us last season. I don't use one match to judge a player, my joy is for all these ninjas to prove me wrong, for the betterment of the team.

hardeycute:
Just take an L.

Your squad quality is low,do you expect him to bench Benzema or Ronaldo?

James sef dey chop bench

I couldn't understand the emboldened. Did you mean we have found what we have lost, buying morata or what? Please i don't want anyone to engage me on this morata today. If your type of best striker, is the one that will be helping us to clear out corner kicks, instead of scoring goals, congrats, you have got one. I am happy for you.

Griffon:
Mr Airmark, I am still waiting for you to bend the knees for Rudiger.

Bend the knees for what? He did well in an ultra-defensive side, with luiz doing well to shield the back three. Hate how he stupidly collected that yellow card. I will like to see him against mesmerizing attackers like his friend, perisic before i can say eureka.

Skimpledawg:
That Niqqa na agric fowl o. Wished I can get that gif where he was jogging close to a Tottham defender instead of putting pressure on him..


Na fvck mehn

Zidane was not a fool. He played football at top level for over 20 years and got the experience you can't buy on nairaland technology market. He had his reasons for using him sparingly. Against tougher teams in epl, use morata in 2nd half ffs, if we want to benefit from him.

Most guys here didnt follow his games in madrid, they thought i was just hating on him. I want the best for chelsea, sometimes i wonder if they are not even chelsea fans, when they can't see things showing brightly before them.

What would have happened if alonso didn't score those two goals and batshuayi did what he did? Enough pressure on the team. Conte had already told the world how we ended up signing a fantastic striker for future. I hope we get another striker asap.

hardeycute:
Morata has been defending corners since but Batman came in and score

Airmark come and say

Yes he was good in nodding the ball out of danger. He nodded the ball out of goal in spurs' box and our box. Chelsea is blessed with good defenders, great addition to our backline.

spartacus11:
Airmark

'If you remember, Morata didn’t play regularly with Real Madrid last season because he was behind Karim Benzema. Usually when you don’t play regularly, you lose sometimes your performance and sometimes your quality in your physical condition. You need a bit of time to recover this.

' We want Morata to play regularly for Chelsea, but my choice doesn’t depend on the cost of money. We can spend a lot of money for a player and then I put him on the bench because I see this player is not ready to play. There is not a relation between starting a game and the cost of a player .'

Our head coach spoke about Spurs striker Harry Kane during the summer and he believes Morata has a bright future in the English top flight, where Kane has been a two-time Golden Boot winner.

'I am sure about this,' he said. 'Morata is a young player and he can stay for many years to become a fantastic striker for this club.

' Recently I only told I have an admiration of Kane. It’s normal and it doesn’t mean I don’t like my players! I can show admiration for another player.'

CONTE

What can you deduce from what conte reeled out?

jonsnow92:
Lol..Actually Busquets ball handling is excellent,His technicality and intelligence makes up for what he lacks in speed..He rarely have to make tackles cos He positions himself well..In fact Most experienced coaches tell thier Forwards to pressurize Busquets cos he is the key to recycling possession..Its not easy to dispose Marcos Senna off Euro 2008 squad at a very tender age..Busquets makes the more experienced Mascherano look like a puppet playing DM role for Barca..And thus Mascherano has played in the EPL,World cup final,Copa Final(2ce) while playing as a DM o..Yet Busquets dey school am..He doesn't need to take any step of faith, He is irreplaceable.

Busquets ball handling was excellent cos they didnt find him out early, no thanks to xavi, iniesta and rakitic. He has always been a weakling but his team made opposition unaware of this, forcing them to defend deeply.

How did busquets displace a 33 year-old from euro 2008 squad? It's on record that senna had injury problems that stilll hindered him at that old age. Busquets is intelligent but when we look at him as a dm, that is supposed to play as an anchor in any team, we will see him as an overrated one. He can't handle incessant attacks.

Dont be deceived, there are situations you will be well-positioned and still need to make that tackle, due to lapses of your team mates. How do you deal with a sudden wall pass, involving messi and neymar against you, the dm? A 2v1 situation can draw tackles no matter how you position, unless you want to allow free access by one of the intruders. Carvajal didn't need a mate before he ran into barca's defence unhindered to set bale up, last season.

As a dm, if you are weak defensively, you are not there.

omotayos01:
Hope it not boateng u want to blame for the goal. I might not b surprise sha if u say he is.

I never blamed boathand for another person's blunder. Unless there's nothing wrong in using hands to spike the ball in the box, in your eyes. May be i should blame azmoun for being too skillful for alagolo, during his disgraceful outing against the unknown irani.

Igerizee:
Torino rejects chelsea £63m bid for Belloti and are not willing to do business except we pay £88m 4 his services

Last minute rush. Only a stvpid coach will be contented with batshuayi and morata as our options upfront. We already made that mistake, torino will not be stvpid to beat down the price. We should just send morata to aj's boxing gym asap and ask him to always stay inside the box, for tap ins.

jonsnow92:
Some of what u said abt busquets are actually true...Busquets is an easy target now not because his abilities are diminishing..Its because he doesn't have options anymore..No one to get into spaces for Him.

That's why his weaknesses are coming out in capital letters. Dms are supposed to be strong on the ball, difficult to catch on the ball, as their ball handling must be top notch. Busquets was never superb in these aspects, many thanks to ''barca's seamless attack is the best form of defence''.

I just pray for him to take the step of faith and mistakenly come to epl, before dayo starts giving lame age excuses.

raumdeuter:
Xavi was not there when Busquets was winning the treble in 2015. And about your best DM in the world Krychowiak that has turned into a statue on PSG bench, when is he going to achieve 10% of what Busquets achieved in his career

Xavi wasn't, but iniesta was there as always, right?. There's a reason rakitic made the laliga team of the season that year, but busquit couldn't get the nod. In fact Krychowiak deservedly took the dm slot. Now rakitic and iniesta have told the 'best dm ever' to prove himself as Mr. Independent, but my guy just dey fall yakata for field.
No sauce, no juice

A40, immediately hummels left the pitch, leverkusen scored. Now we know who the pillar of bayern's defence, is.

Neymar1095:
[s]IS THIS SAME MAD PERSON THAT WILL LATER CHANGE MOUTH AND TELL YOU INIESTA IS NOTHING WITHOUT XAVI OR THE ALMIGHT LAMPARD IS BETTER AND XAVI IS JUST AN AVERAGE PLAYER...... NONSENSE[/s]

You jumped into issue that is beyond your grasp. You don't need to type in all caps, before i know you were hitting your head on the wall while typing. If you like use red colour to send signals of your anger, nothing changes, busquets remains a bag of pop corn, easy to chew. Madrid's players have decoded that and successfully murked him in recent games.

He is an easy target and the more your team keeps him in the first 11, the better for madrid.

A40:
Oshay uncle Davido just tell your black Caitlyn Jenner bae known as Pataki to drink water and mind his phuckin business

Shey you dey see as my boy Sule don dey disgrace you already? O ti mo meme

Sulemana playing against a team that conceded more than they scored last season? Against a team without the renowned bundesliga idol?

We will see him against teams with strikers.

raumdeuter:
Who was he attaching to? He won world cup and Euro without MSN, he won 2015 treble without Xavi

You Krychowiak went to PSG and he is a statue on the bench, How can a player go from best DM in the world to watching Rabiot from the bench

Busquets must idolise Xavi and iniesta till death do them part. Once iniesta leaves barca, busquets should just be forming injured player, like boathand, to keep mockery away from himself.

Once barca gets a solid dm, who will not lose possession anyhow, and can defend well, 80% of the team's problems, will be solved.

Immediately busquets caused that benzema's goal, everything went down. Busquets is a major problem in that middle. The era of iniesta is there, no problem, is gone.

usbcable:
airmark no gree for Dayo oooo.

He wants to drag you into kryochiowateva his name is.

Fine you called him best DM at the moment.

But na busquet una dey drag most times.

No shift ground.

Make I come run away as I don't find trouble finish.

I know his antics. He may jump to terry or hazard, any moment from now. I don't know what concerns a psg player in busquit matter.

I have said it before, if a team wants to win barca easily, rush busquets aggressively, he can be easily broken.

raumdeuter:
WHat is there to talk about Busquets a starting DM for Barcelona one of the top sides in Europe. Who won the world cup, Euro 3 CL and 2 trebles as astarter.

Let us talk about the bench model at PSG who you called the best DM in the world right now glued to the bench like a mannequin

A decade of attache. Now those carrying him are no more there, he is getting sodomised left and right by at every comer at 29. There's a reason for the past 10 years, he has never received that honour of making fifa's best 11. Xabi alonso, kroos and all the key barca stars have all been honoured, except the mugu. Fifa can't be deceived by team's glory and give honours to every tom and jerry in the team.

So busquets losing getting floored by everyone he faced, losing possession and causing that heart-breaking goal, was his hallmark of excellence?

His weaknesses have been exposed every season. This season's came too early. Kovacic will need the gif, and it has been sent to him.
