Mugu. You dey deny Cucurella. Abi he's not one of your favorites?

Na Airmark favorite defender you dey yab so

A leopard never changes its spots. Won ti fi si elara.

Ibime:
Yet Drogba was scoring 10 goals per season in his first 2 seasons and Mou fought for him over Shevchenko. Stop capping

Who brought the idea of the widely-criticized 'park the bus' to football? Do you think such system would accommodate a striker that can't shoot well to save his life?

Mou that sent Lukaku away for missing a Pk, would never tolerate a consistent big chances strangler like Jackson in his frontline. He wouldn't have made the bench, when we were not starved of funds.

Back then, we were not creating the high volume of big chances as we are doing now. Jackson that couldn't score more than 1 goal in 18 matches for an attacking Senegal, wouldn't have scored 5 goals in that Mou setup,.

Gucciboy:
Where did you keep Lordfalcao?

I don't want to see anybody supporting Jackson complain when Chelsea misses out of top 4.

I didn't add Lordfalcao because i believe he started watching football when Falcao was hot. I put people that are supposed to know how reliable strikers should look like, having seen Hasselbaink, Drogba and Costa.

Gucciboy:
🚩 No team have missed more big chances (46) than Chelsea in the Premier League this season.

Source: WhoScored

Let's buy defenders so that we won't be attacking more and it will reduce our big chances missed.

drisham:
Aside col will and cucu

None of our defenders starts or make
The bench for any top 6 team


James and fofana are always unavailable

List your top 6 clubs, let me scan their benches and fix Tosin.

Dearth of quality strikers is what's making the likes of Nateevs, Ibime, Timbros to be hyping Jackson. Mou would have banished him to the developmental team.

Kimbeast:
Madrid and black magic. Bellingham redeems himself. 7th league goal of the season while our wingers can't even get 8 combined.

So, Bellingham played as a winger today, right?

nateevs:
Glad to see the discourse is coming down to common sense zone. When some ninjahs be screaming top striker top striker, and we ask then to name names, and actors like Dovbyk and Muniz be getting named, you know something has changed.

The change is distributed goal action - support cast involvement. Tactics and balance of the game have become more important aspects, than the need to have a 30-goal striker, if said striker is bringing nothing else than goals.

You see the likes of Liverpool and Madrid showing that the no 9 is obsolete, competing and winning championships without a traditional 9.... meanwhile ninjahs still be screaming for top 9.

Egbon you don work for INEC before?

You know how to doctor list effortlessly.

A40:
Who are the good strikers today that can shine their boots pray tell.

For club and country today you can barely list 5 different strikers. Check Balon D'or list. It's a dearth of quality players in that position.

The strikers today are shyte

Nateev's Jackson is not shyte.

A40:
Na Airmark favorite defender you dey yab so

No be VVD again?

Na every year your werey dey come with new features.

drisham:
Are you taking our fans seriously ni
People that won't watch other teams
The other day someone said delap of Ipswich is better than Jackson, just because he had a good performance against us

So, do you think Ipswich will prefer to have Jackson instead of Delap? No sane club owner will release Delap for Jackson, when it's not at gun-point.

Realtord43:
But even at that, it still mean we ought to prioritize our defence. That stats doesn't look good for a club like Chelsea

Don't be deceived by an agenda-driven stats that is even fake.

Unlimited22:
You know what the solution is àbí?

Sign more strikers

Next time limit it to 2024/2025 season and not the whole of 2024, that includes errors by Badiashile and co last season. Your agenda is DOA.

Imagine asking Newcastle to take Jackson + funds for Isak. Do you think money is Newcastle's problem and they will be so stupid to take a wasteful Jackson in place of a more reliable Isak?

Vischy:
There's no difference between morata and Jackson and if Chelsea can do away with morata then l see no reason why Jackson shouldn't be sold off.

Isak/Guiu should be our strikers

If we are not signing any striker this window, Guiu should be given equal time with Jackson.

If the man was a Muslim, he would have been labeled a Muslim terrorist and the incident would have been called a terrorist attack.

However, since he is not a Muslim, he would be termed mentally unbalanced.

Now that he has been identified as a Muslim, you need to wake up and smell the coffee.

lordfalcao:
You are unintelligent.

He said no striker can finish all chance, if you have the stats, pull it.

You dy here dy speak Benin.

You are not only unintelligent, you are also blind.

nateevs:
Statistical neophytes coming up with bullshit again. There is no striker alive that will finish most of our chances. Find us the stats and prove us wrong.

If you think we are wrong, name names. Give us the strikers that you know will bury most of our chances.

diggz:
It seems like Mikel is campaigning for a backup striker for MJ instead of the other way around. Hmmmm... Airmark, is this true?

Mikel was just being smart and less-aggressive. He understands that there's no need of sounding harsh this time around as he already has access to those that matter in our transfers and everyone except Jackson's d1ckriders have now seen that he was spot on.

Jamiuokolaa:
Airmark, dem go still beat you for street one day seh

Raumdeuter go defend me.

nateevs:
This is quite frankly, a phucking load of nonsense Airmark......trying to introduce a new phrase "point man" through the back door.


The question is whether Jota did or not, is he quite this top striker you keep claiming we need to mount a challenge?

Liverpool are not just only mounting a title challenge, they are THE CHALLENGE for everyone else across all competitions and they are doing it without half a striker.

Now tell us, how are they doing this?

You doubted Jota being the point man, reason for your ignorant question.

nateevs:
Jota is Liverpool's point man?

Even when it was explicitly stated that Jota played as the point man, you are still arguing blindly.

I only respected you by answering with the formation that showed Jota playing as the point man in that game as i rightly stated. If it were to be someone like Lordfalcao, ''silence is the best answer for a fool'' would have been my reply.

Ok, Jota played as a winger, you are right.

nateevs:

This is fallacious and reeks of ignorance and irritating support for a below average Jackson. Such should only be expected from someone with poor taste like Lordfalcao.

Thank God Chelsea didn't listen to your advice to keep a wasteful Morata that year, and they won't listen to you asking us to stick to a low IQ striker like Jackson. Mikel is already helping the true fans to shut down such foolish request.

diggz:
I agree, Jackson isn’t the right choice to be our main striker and definitely needs to be replaced with someone better.

Now, could you summarise what all our wingers did in that game? Especially the winger who earns £250k a week and still needs time to work on his shooting skills.

Lil Baby started the game yesterday. Can you highlight one thing Aba Ronaldo, aka Lil Baby, did to help us win or at least secure a point?

Like I mentioned earlier, I really hope we get Haaland or an even better striker than him. That way, we can outscore all the teams even if the wingers don’t do their job!

Scoring goals is not the only job of wingers, but agreed they should be scoring. Madueke had shot on target that was forced to a corner unlike Jackson whose primary function is to score but was proving Mikel right.

We don't need to sign Haaland before getting an upgrade of Jackson. We just need a finisher who will bury most of our chances and won't give us HBP anytime he faces the keeper. Jackson shouldn't be starting for any top 4 in Epl.

nateevs:
Jota up front for Liverpool is synonymous to Felix for us. So what am I forcing?

Jota upfront for Liverpool is in complete disagreement to the point that you made about these small teams being unable to be opened up, and hence a need for a top striker.

You replying by saying Jota is point man for Liverpool doesn't address that point.

The question remains, how does Liverpool do it? Liverpool is running away with the league. They don't have a striker.

You have every right to see what you want to see, even when I attached a footer that states how Liverpool play and Jota and Nunez as their point men.

You have every right to believe that we are still in 2024 as some Nigerians believed sometime ago that it wasn't Buhari at Aso rock that year and they were not arrested.

You are right, Jota wasn't the point man in that match. I goofed.

nateevs:
Jota is Liverpool's point man?

He was the one that led the line in that match, don't force it.

Timbros, Nateevs, Lordfalcao, drisham, Ibime, let's appreciate Mikel for lending the voice to the voiceless again, for a new striker.

Jamiuokolaa:
How many players can you name?

Ronaldo
Modric
Zlatan
Kane

diggz:
Nkunku must be Jackson in your eyes. By the way, how many chances did all the wingers you recommended create yesterday?

Let’s pretend we didn’t know that the £250k-per-week winger you recommended still needs to practice his shooting, while Lil Baby dribbles aimlessly, with Ben Johnson running up and down like a headless chicken.

Hopefully, we can get Haaland as MJ's replacement, so we can lift the league with the tired legs we have as a supporting cast.

Nkunku and Jackson are not natural strikers, i won't use anyone for a big team like Chelsea.

Jackson entered in the 55th minute, all i was seeing was a striker unable to deal with long passes pumped to him. He was given 2 chances that he wasted. He skied one to the moon and the other he missed, such that Ibime only thanked God that they called it offside.

While Jackson was busy wrecking havoc on Ibime's heart, Delap on the other end was wrecking havoc on the heart of our defence with goal, assist and shots on target.

Ibime:
Thank God Jackson was offside. Airmark for kill us this night

nateevs:
How has Liverpool beaten these teams?

They only beat Ipswich among those three clubs and it was Jota, their point man, that broke the deadlock in the 60th minute, before Salah later scored the 2nd goal.

hensben:
This is why i acknowledged your football knowledge. Some of this guys are not seeing what we are seeing. While we were winning I wasn’t carried away and still called out Jackson’s inability to shoot and lack of sense. If the coach can trust Guiu that area will experience improvement. There is a reason I don’t like half brain footballers like Sterling, Jackson and co, their uselessness shows in every game they feature in.

Maresca had asked him to be more brave on the pitch, but you can't give what you don't have.

I knew we could lose against Ipswich as any team that could be compact defensively and with a striker not as wasteful as Jackson, will have a chance against us. Just shut down the support casts, Jackson won't do jack.

airmark:
Against Everton, Nottingham's striker scored today.

Against Fulham, Bournemouth's striker scored today.

Against both Everton and Fulham, our own striker was missing big chances up and down and we lost 5 points.

Now we are 4th on the table and going to face an Ipswich that will also try and shut down our support casts and attack like Fulham.

lordfalcao:
Jackson didn't start the game.

You should be already be two to three goals up, with goals from madueke and co before Jackson came on.

After all you don't need Jackson to win games.

40 minutes is enough for a good striker to make impressions but the only thing I remember he did was to miss a 1 v 1 that was later flagged as offside. He also shot one ball disgracefully to the stands.

Jackson started matches or he didn't start, same output. Within 20 minutes of introduction, Muniz scored the winner against us.

Isak scored 3 goals against this same Ipswich. Our own striker would get a big chance and shoot off target.

If as a Chelsea fan, after watching how Delap operated as a striker and you are still happy and want to continue defending Jackson as our top striker, you and Lordfalcao should be sent to Guantanamo Bay detention camp. Terrorists.

drisham:
Maybe we were harsh on poch 🥲

Na wa o.
