Its when a striker is poor at his duties that you will be looking for other things to credit him for. When Giroud was useless at scoring we started hearing about hold up play

At the end both Chelsea and France sent him to the rightful place which was on the bench

Gabriel Jesus is towing the same line, his fans will say he is pressing, he is hardworking, he is linking up, now they have started shunting him to the wings soon when City get a better striker he will find his calling on the bench

Firminos failure in front of goal is the reason Klopp started looking for a place to fit him. Lewandowski played under the same Klopp, started as a support to Lucas Barrios while Lewandoski improved he was moved up and became one of the best strikers in the world, Firmino regressed they started crediting him with linkup and now crediting him with bench

Firminho has his mentor in that bag of beans, Benzema. Both never scored 25+ league goals in a season.

raumdeuter:
Like Suarez said show us your numbers, An attacker should have numbers to show

Go and burn your reliable source, whoscored's office down for that rating.

raumdeuter:
Hazard 85 goals in how many seasons, Abeg how many goals Salah don score in the same EPL

raumdeuter:
At least you can see the source behind this

Your most reliable source.

Exonerate1:
Can't blame him, he's trying his best with the half decent chances our other attackers create for him. But why doesn't he drop deep and participate in build-up rather than just being static upfront all game?

Just blame the coach for not spotting it and leave Lukaku.

CAPdan21:
Dem wan start to drag lukaku for other people failure...Salah plays with firmino, jota and origi who have different interpretation of the no 9 position but we nor dey find excuse for am...apart from lukaku not Chelsea attacker has up to four goal contribution but it is the problem of the stagnant striker

Later they will move to Tuchel.

Ibime:
What concerns Lukaku with drifting wide.

You bought a target man and expecting him to play like a false 9.

Certain strikers ain't got time for that like Drogba, Lukaku, Ibrahimovic. Give em the ball in the central area and see that strength is also a method to overcome opponents, not just evasion. Those relying on Lukaku to drift wide before they know they can play football should learn to dribble and beat a man.

Lukaku even drift to the right side, they complain because of Havertz. Must he drift to the left side before they know he has drifted?

Just replied Hensben before reading this. Why should he play far away from the goal? What is the function of those playing behind him especially against teams playing low block?

hensben:
Yes, he is asked to stick with opponent’s defenders and receive the ball like Giroud. He should be allowed to play freely.

There's nothing wrong in the instruction if players like Havertz, Ziyech, do their jobs well. That's why i miss an in-form Pulisic.

Ibime:
Stop talking rubbish. Did he have speed at Verona? You are the ignorant one for not recognising Klopps system relies on fast and mobile DM, not joggers like Jogginghoe. Of what relevance would Verona in a placid Serie A in 2014 be to the fast pace of today's football and the need for Liverpool DM to be fast enough to cover the fullbacks and also allow Salah and Mane to stay in the opposition half with little responsibility? You are clueless.

Very clueless.

Illimitable:
Are they the same ones UAE authorities revealed few weeks back?




I am glad you saw the intensity at which both teams played. Ole’s team is incapable of this. This is why Salah and Mane will always have space to operate.

Their midfielders steal the ball during transition and send the ball quickly to the forward players. The play is at a neckbreaking speed.

Ole is 6 tiers below Pep/Klopp.

Head to head, i don't think you are right. 6 tiers bawo?

BikeMan:
Lol. Bar the City game, mention another game we defended. Man knows the kind of resources at Chelsea and he’s playing to their strength but you people are not satisfied with being top of the league.

Do you understand my view?

OJURONGBE1:
For what its worth, i sincerely appreciate what Thomas Tuchel has done at Chelsea but he should let this team play free flow football and stop playing to suit some systemic players with 7defenders.

Look at how enjoyable this Man city v Liverpool match is.
Not some drab defensive boring game we played against City despite our array of attacking talents.

Array of inconsistent or injured attacking talents right? Kante, Pulisic, Mount were missed in that match.

Roland17:
Is there a better player in the world right now? I mean right now?

I fancy Haaland more though.

See foolish Psg's central defence without Silva.

Havertz10:
what ibime said is rubbish

Havertz excelled coming in from the right last season, we could all agree that it was his best position

Some people say it's false 9 but I prefer to use the euros and latter stages of the champions league to judge him because he was unplayable

Preseason he played in that position and got a goal vs arsenal

Next game, he was played on the left, he got an assist but the assumption was that ziyech had to play so havertz was shifted to the left cause he was more dynamic

Against arsenal he was played on the left again, that's when i mentioned it here but tuchel reverted and played him on the right against liverpool, I thought that he played well and could have gotten a hat trick before half time self

Then tuchel started playing him on the left again and I was confused, brought it up then user09 explained that lukaku likes the right channels, I noticed that it was true and knowing how valuable he can be as an asset to our club, I knew that we either had to change formation to accommodate both him and lukaku or we sacrifice one for the other, Lukaku is promoted as the star player, would he like to be benched? He can't perform against top opposition and havertz dominates them and even bullies some small teams into submission

There have been at least 5 games that I watched were havertz could have easily scored a hat trick

Believe me, none of you is as critical of havertz as me, if I notice that he wouldn't work for us, I would deactivate this moniker and propose his sale

Nobody is above criticism, I like tuchel, was even suggesting that he is given a long deal but this season asides liverpool game, he hasn't impressed me, I expected expansive football, plenty goals and fluid play

Who are you by the way?

Havertz played RW against Everton last season, and was bundled out later in the match. Stop this RW nonsense talk.

OJURONGBE1:
I tell you!
I really do not understand their play pattern.
May be Lukaku should drop deeper like he did at inter Milan to get the ball and start targeting the goalkeeper rather than carry them along in his play.
If not that Barkley has become a shadow of himself, the two of them had a decent run at Everton. Kovacic , Mount, Havertz & Werner are selfish suegbe.

Kovacic selfish?

BikeMan:
After all these, you still went ahead to modify the post, LMFAO! A COWARD THAT CAN'T STAND WITH HIS WORDS. You're beating chest here but you don go edit post.

September 18, Legbegbe said Chelsea is not a contender but he's here talking about last season, a season Chelsea won the UCL for that matter.

Tuchel will fail, Tuchel will fail, ok we don hear, when will Ole succeed?

By December, I wil be here with screenshots, you can modify a post but the internet will never forget

Bloody scummy!

He thought adding 'THE' to his moniker will block his L from showing.

TheLequte, swallow your 'title contending' L and let it sLide.

BikeMan:
Wee you keep qwayet?!

Sebi Chelsea is not a title contender because Ronaldo was tapping goals in for you? How has your mind changed so fast, it’s not even December yet?

LMAO! Bloody scummy!

Na Shisha cause am.

airmark:
We can still get some decent players at reasonable fees, for a quick fix.

Dunk won't be bad from Brighton and his fee won't tear our pocket. That Getafe boy as LB is still ok for me or any of Unlimited's LBs and 30 to 40m will cover that. Some decent keepers will slap their coaches to force a move to Chelsea, once that No. 1 jersey is guaranteed.

And Brighton are enjoying these 2 guys i had wanted in Chelsea, together now. Dunk and Cucurella.

popizaino:
You shall know I was talking about our Spanish right and wing back?

Not only you typed Azip, i think Donstan did too. Was just wondering.

popizaino:
You wonder why we have problem breaking down teams and why we need too many touches before we score ?......look no further than the imagine below.


Jorginho glady retired the ball to the back instead of picking azip with a perfect pass. Jorginho needs to leave this club ASAP.

Azip, is that what they call Azpi now? I have been seeing Azip since.

Bville02:
At gun point.. pick one loool.

Skimpledawg:
Beautiful run Chilwell

Nice pass by Kova too. Cassanova would not see that one.

See as ball dey move quick. The sluggish ones benched.

lordfalcao:
saying jorginho is responsible for that goal shows you know nothing and never kicked felele talk more of leather size 5

What Ibime educated you on and that Jorginho lacks, was exactly what Silva stated below.

Your football knowledge is in negatives no be today.

Almajirihunter:
Coach done vex

One of the 'Leprous 5', even said Tuchel blamed Kovacic for the goal. Now Tuchel started the same dude and benched Jorginho and their Fido Dido Havertz today.

Their next move is to start pushing #Tuchelout. Awon dindinrin.

donjazet:
You will continue to choke in your hate and bad belle while he keeps making his name.

DonJorginho

lordfalcao:
The blind and the one eye always Reason together..

I am not surprised, you have never been intelligent

The blind here, is you and this is not the first and definitely won't be the last time you will not see a blunder obviously committed by a player. I remember how you blamed Luiz for an error made by Rudiger against Roma.

Were you born without eyes?

donstan18:
The question is; Will Jorginho close down?

Close down ko Close up toothpaste ni.

Ibime:
Nothing like critical or non-critical. Good DMs snuff out situations while escorts always contribute to them and start playing word games about who was more critical. Even in the days of Mikel, we always argue whether goals were his fault or that of the defenders. When good DMs come on the scene, no more arguments, showing what the problem always was in the first place.

Kovacic is the biggest culprit for that goal followed by Jorginho but a good DM in Jorginho position would not even allow a Kovacic-Chiesa situation to develop. No goal is the making of one man alone. Kovacic could also claim he fell asleep assuming Jorginho will deal with his zone effectively.

This is even tenable since Jorginho is up there for Balon d'or and everyone must have trusted him to do the needful in that situation. I don't know what Jorginho's excuse would be not to have smelt that danger.

popizaino:
That is the same part I bolded I didn't even see yours before I bolded that part.

You don't even need to have played football before you understand what Ibime explained there.

Lordfalcao, Dayo and the 'Leprous 5' have signed pact to always reason like dolts.

raumdeuter:
None of the outlets blamed Jorginho for the goal conceded like you were trying to do

Show anyone anywhere that blamed Jorginho for the goal conceded
