Why is this Maresca not starting Jorgensen? This one has started making selection blunder like Pochettino.

Don't worry, by the time the transfer window closes, I will ask you to come and tell us where the club concentrated more on between the defence and attack.

Colwill and Fofana have been available thus far and we're still clowning at the back.

Make we dey see shaa.

I really do hope we get a CF, so there can be no excuses about the attack anymore because as it is, it is stacked.
They are better than using Badiashile and Disasi.

We need a CF that is a better finisher than Jackson. No top club will use Jackson as top 9.

My chairman, we conceded a record number of goals last season but outscored all but 3 or 4 teams.

Hian. Na wa
And a true Chelsea fan that followed the team would understand that was largely because of our numerous injured defenders. Fofana, Colwill and Reece James are looking preferred by Maresca and Pochettino wasn't afforded that chance.

Defence was not our major problem to now concentrate funds on. That was my argument and I have been justified in this window.

You missed the point. I am saying no one had any such arguments. Not me, not Lordfalcao, not anyone else. What would be the reason that anyone compares Halaand with Jackson?

My point is .....it will be extremely stupid for anyone to engage in such arguments; therefore, there is no need to accuse anyone of doing it.
You need to be calming down baba. Read my post again, i never said there was a convo already on it.

Anyways, have you asked Lordfalcao and others about his opinion on who they would choose in their teams between Haaland and Jackson, for you to be doubly sure they don't rate Jackson higher?

As long as you say the defence is also a problem you are airmark's enemy

With this lightskin neega defending we have been doing for two years. Lol.

Meanwhile we have Palmer, Nkunku, Pedro Neto and Joao Félix. Even Jackson is a double digit striker, much maligned as he is.
I won't tag anyone as enemy because of football argument. I am not that person bro.

I never knew he even had any argument on Haaland and Jackson. I never expected such from him though.

Even when I always emboldened the word major, you still believe I don't see defence as a minor problem. Anyways, make una dey twist my views for me.

You don't have to be OTT with your point. Saying you won't be surprised that anyone would rate Jackson over Halaand is attention seeking, and only goes to show that you don't quite understand the various arguments put before you. You should read what I said about Halaand before he went to City.... so let's pipe down.
My post wasn't directed to you bro. Didn't even know you had any argument on Haaland and Jackson.

And some people said we don't need a better striker that can score.

I won't be surprised if some Chelsea fans like Lordfalcao and his friends, rate Jackson above Haaland just because of his workrate outside the box.

City conceded a goal, but they replied with 4. They weren't crying why the defence conceded to fvcking Ipswich. They know that you win matches by outscoring your opponent.

So with one picture, you argue that you support Sterling being banished for not making the right decisions in front of goal - for instance, passing the ball to Jackson for a tap in. But at the same time, you use the same picture to praise him for having the gumption of not passing to Jackson, because he knew Jackson will not score. grin grin grin grin

Citadel of Airmark. Anywhere the spirit leads.
I watched almost all the matches that Sterling featured in, last season. I didn't use one single picture to conclude as you erroneously believed. The conclusion was even done more than a year ago and Pochettino was foolish not to have done the needful.

We need to take tough decision on Jackson and get an upgrade before the window closes. We need to put the attack in a near perfect condition and Jackson must not be our main striker going forward.

Airmark talking about a player wrongly backed by someone. Funny.

Airmark spent one full season telling us how Vlahovic should have been signed by Poch. Now he's removed this one from his long list of strikers that should be signed.

Before then, it was Bellotti this, Bellotti that..... Now he wants this to disappear the affiliation like we didn't all see it. And he's talking about someone backing the wrong player. grin grin grin

As always, I leave this part to Dayo and Lordfalcao grin grin grin They have a list.
grin

Anyone on my list was/is better than Jackson, the wastepipe.

The primary function of a striker is to score goals. We have already got enough midfielders and no room for one yeye Jackson to leave the box and be forming activity in the midfield.

What faulty premise? Sterling, worst case finished 4th in class. Okay? I'm not defending the player. I agree that he should be producing what Palmer did to keep his salary at CFC but the treatment of the player is unjustified. It is brash, uncouth and unprofessional. It is setting a bad precedent. Can't you see it?
What I see is a wake-up call for other players not giving their all. Nobody is beyond banishment, as you can only stay if you are delivering up to expectation.

Fraudiola should come and take him away.

What's funny about this is that you just posted two pictures showing two instances where Sterling could have isolated Jackson for a tap in on goal, taking him to 16 goals for the season. Meanwhile, if you dig deep enough, you will find at least 4 extra instances where this could have happened across the length of the season.

You have inadvertently made an argument that a better 'support cast' than Sterling could have had Jackson scoring 19/20 non-penalty goals last season. grin grin grin grin

Full circle.
Well, maybe because he understands that Jackson is wasteful and his legs are not straight, that's why he didn't trust him.

If Jackson couldn't score the empty net below, then there's little support cast can do for him.

Alhaji, you have confused me with someone else. I never joined your attack v defence debate, even though I did acknowledge that Timbros' stance trumps yours by a billion light years.
So, where's the confusion?

nateevs:
Me I no chop any L. My argument has always been simple. It is financially profligate to spend £80m/90m on the likes of Vlahovic and Dovbyk (and all these other yama yama pipu you keep recommending) who offer no significant upgrade over Jackson. For that manner of money, dude should be coming with 25 non-penalty goals per season minimum. If we listened to you, we would have Vlahovic on the books now, and you will be telling us we still need a top striker.
Egbon, Dovbyk was never 90m or 80m. I don't know where you manufactured these fees from. Can we say it's a function of your love for the wasteful Jackson to continue to miss our scoring chances until we throw him away like Morata that you also backed wrongly?

All I wanted is a striker better than your Jackson, in front of goal. If Dovbyk, Osimhen, Guirassy, Gyokeres are yamayama, then what should we call your Jackson, whose legs were said not to be straight? grin

Even that Santiago whatever that Nottingham want to buy for 30m is significantly better than Jackson, not to talk of the likes of Osimhen, Gyokeres, Dovbyk that have hit 25+ goals in a season. Even a juvenile like Guiu seems to look more decent than Jackson.

nateevs:
Second argument was that if you like, spend £120m on Osimhen, if your support cast is shite, then in the best case scenario, Osimhen will score 30 goals and finish we still finish 6th.

Similarly, and to buttress Timbros' point, if you like line up with Halaand and Osimhen and each score a goal every game, if you concede twice as much, your strikers count for naught.

So na you dey imagine L o. I no know wetin you dey talk.
Last season we created the same number of big chances as Arsenal but we missed them significantly. Your Jackson had the highest xG among the strikers in the league but was shambolic. So, it's not a matter of any support cast, unless you want the support cast to always dribble the keeper and give Jackson the final pass before he can score.

Against City, Palmer and Mudryk/Neto were not that effective as they were not given enough space, but the only striker that could deliver the goal, as usual fired blanks and also rushed into offside position senselessly to score illegally.

No sane coach of a top club will go into the season with Jackson and Sterling as starters. Sterling has been axed, next is to get a replacement for Jackson. We want to compete for Epl trophy and not just to make top 4. We are not West Ham or Brighton.

You win. They don't play the same wings though and Sterling was 4th give or take - like I said - not that invested.

You know Maresca used the player all through the preseason and communicating this to him a day to the season opener proves it was not tactical?

Hope you know Maresca is creating an impression that will discourage other players from wanting to play for him. He is effectively losing the dressing room?
It's not about any win, but correcting the faulty premise you are arguing on.

I posted it several times long before now that a serious coach would chase Sterling away from his team. Fraudiola wasn't a fool and Maresca must have seen the nonsense he played for us last season.

anyone is currently better than sterling. Man lost his passion.

But why Felix and such long term contract too?

May be they are hoping for one good season and quickly cash out or something.
Eating like elephant and working like sloth, shouldn't be tolerated.

I want to know what they want to do to Mudryk. I don't mind if we sell him and get a prolific striker.

I can't imagine at the end of TW, Nottingham forest, Aston Villa, Newcastle, Spurs, boasting of a quality striker than Chelsea.

I am not that invested to do the maths (checking starts and subs in games). Raheem had 8 goals in 31 games. Noni had 5 in 23 or so. I think Noni has 2 assists. Did not check Raheem's. What's your exact point?

I hope you are not one of those that thinks he is being frozen out for tactical reasons? You know it is because of the Felix deal your club was forced into, right?
Take your time and do the maths before making false claims up and down.

Madueke was more productive based on your own stated metric - G/A per minutes.

You can ask Fraudiola to buy your useless burden of an attacker, Sterling.

So you did not know what I meant when you were responding?

Sterling's G/A per minutes played in the EPL is what I was referring to.
