timbros:
Stop mentioning me unnecessarily.

This was you mocking me for calling for balance in the team.

Did you just wake up? I thought its "just fix attack. Period"?

Yes in January, fix the attack first.

kingBolton:
The issue with Chelsea is that almost all our departments have their own problems, to simply put it, our squad is badly assembled.
Let's start with the attack, how many of our attackers can hold on to the ball without turning it over to the opponent within seconds ? We can't recycle the ball or hold on to it for a minute without our attackers trying something stupid and gifting the opponent an opportunity to counter. Look at other big teams in the league and the profile of their attackers and look at chelsea's , who is the 1 V 1 dribbler like saka, doku , grealish , kulusevski or diaz that can pin back a defender or that will make a winger reduce their attacking intensity when playing us to help out his defender? Who can the defenders launch the ball to like Kai, halaand or Nunez to relieve them of pressure without
turning the ball over immediately? When most of us here keep saying attack should be prioritize, it doesn't mean we want our defence to be neglected, it just means the number of changes we need in our defence is small compared to our attack.

Sorry for any typo.. typing from my phone.

This is exactly what Timbros have sworn not to understand.

popizaino:
You can concede under any circumstances against any team,what shows your strength as a big team is the ability to always come back in rare scenarios like this. Don't let agenda get the better of you.

I don't know why he always love to defend our wasteful attackers. That's how he was defending Morata when he was sinking our team with numerous big misses. Maybe he is not even a Chelsea fan.

popizaino:
Repeat this for timbros,it seems he doesn't hear at once.

Timbros must be living in a cave to be arguing blindly consistently.

raumdeuter:
Why not avoid conceding to a 10 man team

It's disappointing but the likes of Sterling and Jackson don't have the quality to rescue such situation. They should be replaced with upgrades asap.

timbros:
Like score 7 goals and concede 6 before you win, abi?

A smaller team that goes one man down defends deep. Defends with their life. Breaking down such defence is very hard. You have no business conceding against such team. But we conceded, not once but twice. It's almost as if Burnley intentionally waits for us to score and immediately stroll to our post and equalise.

I'm not sure you watched the match.

Barcelona failed to beat us that year with a man down and 2-goal lead. We scored 2 goals after Terry was sent off as Messi missed a PK. After the match, Fraudiola didn't blame his defence but rues the inability to outscore Chelsea.

Rest.

raumdeuter:
BTW why won't you take Kai Harvetz the current Arsenal striker who has even scored more goals than Gabriel Jesus

Goals per match stats is important. You should know this.

raumdeuter:
All those teams managed not to concede 2 goals despite playing against 11 men while Chelsea who had the easiest task couldn't do that

Yes disappointing, but we could have done a Newcastle and still win. Our attackers are consistently useless.

timbros:
Must you score more than two goals before you win a relegation team that is down to 10 men after you have gone a goal up?

You should even score more and against 10 men. Arsenal would have scored 7.

Apart from Palmer all our attackers yesterday should be flogged.

raumdeuter:
Did any of Liverpool Arsenal or City concede 2 goals to them at home when playing against 10 men

That's inconsequential, as the 3rd goal was all needed by those teams and they got it unlike us.

timbros:
Liar.

You know you always type erratically and goof anyhow.

Liverpool didn't need to concede to them to win them by the same 2 goals we couldn't win with.

A liar will always think everyone is like him.

timbros:
With 10 men?

What is it about comeback you were saying earlier?

You don beg me to rest too much. But na you suppose hang your L necklace and rest.

The point is, unlike Aston villa, Liverpool, Arsenal, City, our attackers failed to score more than 2 goals to secure victory against 10 men Burnley.

timbros:
Why will you concede in the first place against the worst attack in the division that is down to 10 men?

Is that how great teams defenders do?

You even say comeback Airmark didn't watch our match. Later he will accuse others of checking scores online

Liverpool, Arsenal and City also conceded to them but unlike our useless attackers, theirs scored more than 2 goals to beat them.

Rest.

raumdeuter:
Gabriel Jesus has barely played this season and Harvetz is their top striker. I'm sure you remember Harvetz the same guy you blamed for Chelsea striking woes up till 9months ago

Every Arsenal fan will tell you Gabriel and Saliba have been way more important than any Gabriel Jesus or Martinelli

Why not add Saka, to complete the joke?

timbros:
You cannot shift this post.

We have never talked about transfer window. Whether summer transfer or January transfer.

Check my stand again. Improving the team in not only buying buying buying players. Me and you never argue who to buy and when.

Great teams, after conceding, have the attacking prowess to come from behind and win matches. Even scummies have done it this year, not to talk of City, Arsenal and Liverpool. Because of our useless attackers like Sterling and Jackson, we find it difficult to do comebacks and even failed to consolidate on early leads.

Newcastle showed what is missing in our attack yesterday.

raumdeuter:
See wetin Saliba and Gabriel did to Arsenal I will say these duo were the most important Arteta signings

Arsenal does not have a reliable striker and they are competing

I will take Gabriel Jesus as a striker, than Jackson. I will take Saka or Martinelli and fling Sterling at you. Next?

andrewbaba44:
How was sterling a world beater under pep ?

World beater?

How many times did he enter Fifa world best XI? Never.

timbros:
Airmark is wrong. He says our team doesn't need balance. If we fix attack, everything will be alright.

I have been preaching balancing the team since day 1. Airmark even mocked me for saying we need balance in the team.

Feed your eyes in the screenshot below. Take note of the dates those posts were made.

January window, clubs use limited funds, hence the post. Rest.

timbros:
Liar.

This has always been your stand below...

So in January window, priority should have been on attack. Rest.

timbros:
Should I show you our injury list that same January?

Sterling and Jackson injured?

drisham:
Palmer has 30G/A ..not bad for his debut season in the top flight

One would think he is the one collecting 300k+ per week.

timbros:
So it is this morning you realise we have injured defenders?

Shebi you don't know we have defensive issues when you posted this?



Do we have surplus 9 defenders that we had to loan Maatsen or do we have injured defenders? Can you stay one place for a second?

That was posted in January window, when we needed to resolve our major problem - attack.

Rest.

timbros:
Slowly but surely we are getting there.

Priority should be on attack. That has always been my stand, while we expect injured defenders to return.

If we have 100m to spend, the bulk should be spent on our attack, not 50/50.

popizaino:
Say no more.

Is the missed chances not part of match details? What is wrong in rushing to post it here?

Only Timbros is blind to those things.

No serious club will put Jackson as their top striker. Sterling will fail trials like Boathand, if he returns to Liverpool.

timbros:
Ask airmark that always talk of LiveScore

You check stats and results on LiveScore. Obviously, you don't watch most of our matches.

timbros:
Shut up Mr man.

I make my analogy. Make yours if you want to.

I specifically gave examples of teams that scored two goals nothing more nothing less.

Spurs two goals.
Chelsea two goals.
Bournemouth two goals.
Aston Villa two goals.

All of them got a win except one. Why did that one not get a win? Go figure.

If big chances missed is metric for a bad striker, Haaland will be the worst striker in the league.

The Isak you are talking of, is it this same Isak that have missed more big chances than Sterling that you so love to malign?

Your analogy is foolish.

As usual, Chelsea are among top 4 teams that create big chances weekly but we are missing them in loads. That's why we are where we are.

We have defensive issues, and one could blame it on injuries to Reece, Fofana, Chilwell. What's the excuse for your great Sterling, not to have scored the third yesterday?

timbros:
Go and convert the 10 big chances before you have hope of winning a match.

Erling Haaland, the best striker in the league have missed more big chances than Jackson and Sterling put together.

And he converted half chances, that's why he is better than your Sterling and Jackson.

Both half chances and big chances, your Sterling and Jackson are experts in throwing them away. I think you admire wasteful strikers, I remember how Morata's big misses excited you.

timbros:
Did Newcastle score 2 goals?

They were trailing 1-3 and they scored 3 more goals to win the match. You win a match by outscoring your opponent.

Newcastle didn't get the number of big chances we got against Burnley, but they won. Ask yourself, can Jackson bench Isak? Can Sterling bench Barnes?

No serious club will put Sterling to be leading the attack.

timbros:
Why will I mention 3-3 match that ends in a draw, a result that Chelsea got?

Are you okay like this? I was mentioning teams that score 2 goals AND WON THEIR GAME. Which of Sheffield or Fulham scored 2? Which of the won their game?

Why didn't you mention Newcastle that conceded 3 goals but still won? You and Raumdeuter, can only deceive yourselves and few dolts.

timbros:
Misfiring attackers that have been consistently scoring 2 or more goals per match now?

Scoring 2 out of 10 big chances. LiveScore ambassador

Unlimited22:
Liverpool 2014, Chelsea 2005.

City 2018, City 2020.

Chelsea 2021 UCL, Chelsea 2021 league.

Make una leave this argument abeg. If you like bring Eibar Messi and Noodle hair Ronaldo.

Parade clowns in your defense and you will still drop enough points to lose the league.

We've already conceded as many goals this season as we did in all of last and there's still 10 games left to play.

The point is, we can say we missed Reece, Chilwell, Fofana, Lavia due to injuries during the season. What's the excuse for our misfiring attackers?

popizaino:
What was the final results of Newcastle United match today?

Which of the goals conceded was a fault of porous defence?

I didn't get to see today's game but from highlights we conceded the 2nd goal on the 80th mins,10mins is still enough to score one more goal and seal the game if we were actually a big team.

Timbros is terrible.
