nihilistjnr:
That's not what you said yesterday sir



Chelsea is not a local club. We leave winning the league to the likes of Man City.

Also can you please give me my change from the 1 million leagues?

nihilistjnr:
Sir you said



I CL > than 1 million league titles

But you're complaining that we haven't won league in five years.

Oya subtract 5 league titles from the 1 million and give us our change sir

raumdeuter:
He played 8yrs for Chelsea

lordfalcao:
which club submitted any official bid? Show us

Let’s see if there’s any reasonable club that bidded for him

Ibime:
How will big club come for someone who had injuries for 1 year

He already got his £35m move to Napoli subsequent to to 2017

lordfalcao:
top clubs are enquiring the availability of rudiger..

Manolas at his supposed prime is sold for 2M

At the age most of his mate are cementing regular football time. He is back to his native country..

Have some shame.

Manolas will reject his nonsense top 50 footballer, to make uefa squad of the year

lordfalcao:
you mean the most foolish post on Nairaland’ below?

Why is this blend of sharwama and burger shipped home to his native country for 2M

No wonder you rushed to delete your eyesore posts

raumdeuter:
One Chelsea legend has this to say

"As they're off celebrating like they've won the World Cup, Manchester City are racking up a 16 point lead on Chelsea where it really matters: the Premier League. ... I don't buy £100M strikers to win the bloody Club World Cup."

lordfalcao:
[s]we always know you to be foolish..

This is one of your numerous dense football knowledge below..[/s]

donstan18:
“Chip against the bar”

lordfalcao:
[s] you are asking a rubbish question..

Under who will a defender improve before? A coach or a barber?

You don’t know players do improve when you were yelling he is a scam

Tell us who manolas improved under to be sent away on a paltry 2M euros[/s]

lordfalcao:
we are talking of players who were on the pitch in ucl final, and delivered for us the opportunity to play the super cup and cwc..

Below is airmark giving the board first hand information to get manolas

Griffon:
Boy is with Gombe United, made the NPFL team of the week last weekend. Na still way to move him offshore we dey find.

Griffon:
So Tammy Abraham has a younger brother who is playing professional football?

The resemblance no be here.

lordfalcao:
I know when we signed rudiger, I was one of the people here, who knew he will come good for us

People like airmark and co were bringing gif where he was dribbled by perisic here to ridicule him..

They where even telling us how Roma scammed us by giving us rudiger, and keeping manolas.

Fast forward today, manolas was discarded like a garbage for 2million euros to his native country.

Rudiger, well we know the finals he has beasted and trophies he has helped us achieve

philip0906:
My guy, [s]just keep quiet abeg, lmao! You’re literally sweating over a coach who’s won 3 trophies in just 1 year while you sit down to form “a fan correcting Tuchel”. You’ll soon show us an email sent to Tuchel that shows airmark analyzing why Havertz should not have been selected.
[/s]

timbros:
Lukaku is number 2 in PK duties. [s]No one is arguing that fact. But does being number 2 make him immune to missing PK? Even Jorginho as number 1 misses PKs. I don't know what you are on about Lukaku scoring the PK. I don't do assumptions, I face facts. The fact is Havertz took the penalty and scored. Lukaku could have scored and could have missed, that's assumptions.
[/s]

timbros:
And if they scored, will it be Havertz fault? What if Villareal scored the few minutes TT brought him in for PK duties? Whose fault would it have been? If it was TT's intention for Havertz to be in the pitch for shootout, it's the right decision. You need your best players for penalty shootout. And Havertz is the best left on the pitch.

timbros:
And that Segedinho's post makes absolutely zero sense. Our attack have been blunt from 1st minute to the end of the match. It was not as if the attack was sharp when Lukaku was on the pitch. If it was that sharp, we should have been 3 or 4 goals up before Lukaku left. Havertz is not solely the reason for our blunt attack.

philip0906:
Even if you like, bring an article from the 80s, it doesn’t change the fact that you cannot know more than the coach. You thought you did something with that? Lmao!

You’re just an armchair Nairaland analyst. Stick to that and let those experienced in it, do their job.

philip0906:
[s]Havertz scored yesterday, you’re still hung on needless probabilities and pasts.

Secondly, a coach is paid millions of euros to do these things. They train with these players everyday and know their capabilities while you’re far away making assumptions.[/s] Like I said, you can’t know more than a coach.

[s]Thirdly, no one said he was left to score a penalty, you’re just a trying to be clever by half. I clearly stated why: His goal and assist ratio in finals was enough to let him see out the game and he ended up netting the penalty.[/s]

timbros:
Exactly why you shouldn't be too confident of this or that player will score. All of them can score or miss.

timbros:
We can even say that TT intentionally left Havertz for penalty in the match. Maybe not for regular time, but shootout. Seeing that the first and second penalty takers aren't in the pitch, it is logical to leave the next best penalty taker in the pitch seeing that the game is heading to shoot out.

TT knew what he was doing.

Segedinho:
Now that lukaku is off..

Who is stagnant at the other end.


Cos attack has been blunt

timbros:
I thought the senseless gamble you meant is Havertz taking the penalty. My bad. I get what you mean now.

Havertz might not be spectacular in the game but he certainly wasn't the poorest player in the pitch. We lacked creativity as a team, it's not a Havertz thing only. But because Havertz have this reputation here, everybody will naturally attack him.

Kante had a stinker of a game yesterday, but because he is loved by everyone, no one talks about it. Go watch the game again, the number of times Kante lost possession or made a wrong pass in the midfield is uncountable. Of all the posts you quoted, it's only one person that mentioned Kante.

Havertz reputation will always precede him here. So the attacks is not surprising.

And Lukaku is not immune to missing PK so you can't say for sure that he will score. You are just speculating. Same way I can tell you that Lukaku, in that situation, will miss. All speculation. Fact: Lukaku cost us Super League against Bayern in 2013. So leave that talk of Lukaku would have scored it.

We see players literally shying away from moments like this. Havertz stepped up and won the game for us. Take it or leave it, that moment defined the game and Havertz stepped up and delivered. Give him props for that.

On a side note, come out let's talk about this guy...

philip0906:
This is preposterous. Firstly, Lukaku didn’t play any penalty so you can’t be too sure he would have scored…players miss penalties.

philip0906:
Secondly, you’re not smarter than the gaffer. Coaches who win trophies, usually do so by looking at important metrics and always maintain what they deem as the winning “model” which includes systems and players.

philip0906:
Havertz has been involved in 2 finals with 2 goals and assists, no coach would haul him out for the sake of hauling him out…Guess what, Havertz got us the winning goal which justifies his being left in the game.

Amoto94:
Does it matter?

Amoto94:
The main reason why Lukaku was subbed off was tiredness which will affect the team shape. Penalty is not a child's play and don't tell me that Lukaku would've scored it because the last time he was given a PK against Bayern he missed it during a final.

timbros:
Penalty is not for just any player. That is why teams have players given that duty. In Chelsea, its Jorginho, Lukaku, Havertz and, I think, Werner.

Mentally weak players can't take penalties. Especially in this particular situation. Almost 120mins, tired legs, tired brain, in front of intimidating opposing fans.... Give praise when due. Dude is just 22!

timbros:
And that bolded is just laughable. Why do you call the decision of Havertz taking the PK a "senseless gamble"? He is Chelsea's number 3 PK taker, and number one on the pitch that moment. What made it senseless, and a gamble? Do you train with the group to know who are the best PK takers?

donjazet:
Another rubbish display from havertz in quick succession.

NinjaXmetahuman:
Havertz is not just creative.

No vision at all.

Ibime:
Emotional response to a penalty

Bros played nothing

DExponential:
Disgusting match. Havertz and Kante should be stripped naked and flogged.

Amoto94:
It is obvious that you don't rate the coach so you will look for every reason to vilify him. As for PK being awoof it's a lie that's often repeated because it has a lot to do with psychology. As a taker is facing goalkeeper directly he's to decide where to place it without the goalkeeper saving it this requires a nerve and quick decision making if a player failed to do this within the shortest possible time he will miss more than he will score, this is why you see players shying away from PK duties because it's not for the mentally weak. Had PK being awoof Chelsea would have had 3UCL trophies in their cabinet.

TalabiAudu:
Guys just Google 'Chelsea Fc' and see

Amoto94:
You never liked him so you will question his decision even when it's the right one. The player he left on the pitch scored the winner.

Griffon:
The only player in our history to have won everything that is to be won.

King Dave! Captain Reliable!

macjireh:
Fraudiola is still winning local trophies while Tuchel is going nuclear...
Raumdeuter wat ya say

BlueMann:
Your captain
