It’s benfica

But still...I know the Badiashile wey I know before oo

Hope he can keep getting better beyond this game

Badiashile is looking good tonight...or are my eyes deceiving me??

Caicedo looks injured.
God abeg oh
Who was that limping just now??

Theuniverse:
I think all this injuries our players day get na exaggerated injuries from the players.
Dem dey Vex for maresca rubbish tactics and losing mentality, they are just removing themselves from the embarrassment and waiting for his sack.
palmer have told chelsea to sack maresca, remember the idiot coach removed palmer from united match, but palmer was veryy angry and threw his gloves to the bench and walked straight to the dressing room.
This latest palmer injury is just a fake for him to rest and get the idiot sacked and also see if the dunce can win matches without him or all the idiots so called trophies na him give the coach.
Fofana, which dirty concussion,him too is faking it, even mumu tosin sef.
Na caicedo and Enzo, Pedro just day save the idiot, if they join the plan,e don finish for the idiot.
as Chelsea go decide who dem go back, the idiot or the players.

I dey always gbadun this egbon

Remember when we used to wonder why Sarri felt he had to always bring on Barkley and it always looked like a pointless sub? Well, Maresca has this obsession with bringing on Gusto and nobody knows why.

I've never seen Gusto about to come on and thought "yeah, that makes sense, Gusto will change the game for the better for us".

Ghooooooost Woooooorkeeerrr!!

This is the conundrum we are talking about

Amethyst101:
Nah, Sanchez will be back.

According to the refs, abi PGMOL, His red card was called for DOGSO (Denying of Goal Scoring Opportunity), rather than violent conduct/serious foulplay which means he has served his 1 game ban against Lincoln.

He will be back in goal this weekend

@Bluemann

EM is always to trying to prove something. He is in a constant fight with someone (most of the time with himself). Why he won't start or give more minutes to Acheampong is very disappointing.

Starts Santos, but still manages to sneak in Enzo. Okay

The shallow pool of squad depth got even shallower with news that Tosin and Fofana unavailable.
So that's us light everywhere. Upfront, in the middle and now in defense. Oh boy.

So Fofana will be out against Brighton, Benfica and Liverpool because Jorgensen punched him in the head

Let’s just hope Caicedo doesn’t join the injury list.

League Cup 4th round draw.

WhoDeyHause:
Na him go keep our next match against Brighton. Omo everywhere no good.

Nah, Sanchez will be back.

As inconsistent as Sanchez is, he will always get picked ahead of this Jorgensen

Lincoln have had 9 shots, and 8 of them have been inside our box...lol

We just dey play useless passes up and down

I may be wrong but Santos is looking like a yellow-per-game guy.

Ah...

Why exactly did we bring back Guiu if he's not going to get any minutes??
I don't understand

I read the rules were changed anyways, so maybe if we get through tonight, he will play subsequent games

Nizaar Kinsella
Football reporter
Chelsea striker Marc Guiu is eligible to play in the third round of the Carabao Cup against Lincoln City on Tuesday because of a change in the rules for this season's tournament.

It appears Chelsea were unaware of the rule change but were informed by the English Football League (EFL) hours before Tuesday's kick-off, after seeking clarification.

Guiu is not expected to feature at the LNER Stadium but will be considered for selection by Chelsea in the competition for future rounds if they go through.

The Spanish forward represented Sunderland in the competition last month, while on loan at the Black Cats.

In previous seasons that would have meant he was not allowed to play for Chelsea in the tournament because he would have been cup-tied - which means you are only allowed to play for one club in a cup competition per season.

But the new rule introduced for this season states players can feature for two clubs in the EFL Cup in the same season.

The 19-year-old was recalled by Chelsea because of an injury to Liam Delap.

Guiu made three appearance for Sunderland, scoring once in the EFL Cup second-round defeat by League One side Huddersfield Town in August.

Chelsea's resources up front have been depleted, with Delap set to be sidelined until December and Nicolas Jackson joining Bayern Munich on loan, while Joao Pedro has started all six of Chelsea's matches in all competitions this term.

One season wonder yen yen yen.

Just imagine if Palmer had a similar season like 23/24 ....
For a Subpar season, he did amazingly well.

The only Englishman in the top 10

Sportsweb:
How do we explain this? Liverpool have conceded more goals than the 2nd and 3rd but sits comfortably top of the table

Ehn

Make "Best defense" dey chase their award nah...

Nothing concern them with that one

After this game, Best defense FC would have conceded just 2 goals, yet dropped 6 points

Arteta go wan ment

andrewbaba44:
Fbs no forget to update one of my boy wey just score for Frankfurt

That Bukardt guy abi?

He scored twice in the UCL too midweek.
Man bagged 18 league goals for Mainz last season

10- man Sunderland currently have 14 shots (4 on target) against Villa. (10 shots, 2 on target)

They went down to 10 men in the 32nd minute , made just 1 sub before getting their equalizer, and now look set to get a point in this game

Where is digzz

Ireti (as you call him) keeps outdoing himself every time
Absolute masterclass by Enzo Maresca in how to squander fan support after a promising end to last season.

forgiveness:
Oga! Tosin coming in simply means Reece moves into the midfield and defend from the wing.

I don't know why you people don't read game. Na so e easy?

Shebi we have all seen how bringing on Tosin (who has been really bad recently too) has helped us win the game

forgiveness:
Who should have come out?

He didn't have to remove him, especially after removing Estevao, and I'm sure he was aware Palmer wasn't 100% fit, holding his groin after the Bayern game.

Neto would, and could have played as a Wing back.

The Tosin sub was completely unnecessary at that point

Pedro Neto (even though he didn't do too well vs Bayern) is literally the perfect winger to have in your side if you go down to 10 men.

He is an energizer bunny who can fill-in as a wingback, but also can get forward and get behind the defense. Subbing both him and Estevao out at the same time when the game was 0-0 was absolutely mental.

BlewMahn:
This coach just mumu today. It's bad enough that he removed both wingers, but he removed them with two different substitution windows. Why u no comot both of them at once?

Add the Palmer injury, and we no longer have a substitution window.

This was such cowardly mentality.

I just noticed this thing sef.
But wasn't that a double sub??

If we've utilized the sub windows, then e don really be...

Ibime:
Look at this joker Maresca, shey we want just defend 0-1?

Palmer is injured

Lol

Nothing for this game again

Just 15 minutes in

Emaprince:
Nonsense

You think you can survive for 80mins without conceding when you set out to defend?

You are literally asking your opponent to keep attacking until you crumble.

Its better to have some one like neto or estavao, who can run with the ball upfront...to gove the opponents something to be wear of, than sitting back and invitano even their goalkeeper to attack you.

Coward football


Now they have scored. And its just 15mins

Oga rest abeg

I can't believe you guys are seriously blaming Maresca

Emaprince:
So we have a red card and this coach decided to remove all attackers abd defend for over 80mins

What a coward

Lol

You people are just funny

Going one man down right from 5 minutes, would you blame him for going all defensive?
