unfortunately I have to crush your dream , Chelsea pulled out of ugarte race

Your own self no too much for a contract yet to be completed

BlueAngel444:
The self proclaimed GOAT of football retires



BREAKING: Zlatan Ibrahimović has now decided to retire from professional football with immediate effect. Incredible player, incredible icon. 🦁👋🏻

A rich career spanning well over 24 years. Embedded in that incredible career, he plied his trade in 9 different clubs across 7 countries; Sweden, Portugal, Italy, Spain, England, France and USA.

Respect!

BlueAngel444:
Would never imagine that Chelsea would be comfortable selling Mount, Havertz, Kovacic in one window

At least we will rest from the weekly combo of Mount & Havertz fans, whereas nothing of note.

BlueAngel444:
why Ampadu dey ur list, wetin him do u? And I don't see Chelsea selling both Mount and Gallagher at least not while players like RLC who can deceive managers preseason stay

Lack consistency.

Gone on loan to four different teams, not convincing and yet to make a mark to have cement a place in Chelsea's first team.

Coupled with the switch from England to Wales, it is not it jawe.

BlueAngel444:
Ugarte is limited but young and will improve that's if he doesn't miss games due to cards

I also want to see Casedei and Santos in the team but we also wanted to see Gallagher and I know Chelsea had a bad season, I still hope this young midfielders still come good, Ampadu including as long as RLC GTF out of Chelsea

Aren't you tired of their ugly display

We can no longer continue with those young oldies (Gallagher, Mount, Ampadu, RLC, CHO), we have seen them all. Nothing new.

Ibime:
Casadei is giving Lampard vibes in the U20 World Cup. Timing of runs is perfect. The real space interpreter.

AM is the only position for him. Nkunku can also play wide to accommodate.

Did you also notice his aerial quality?

Both his goal and assist against Colombia was from a header.

Capaldi:

Bohley first gem. This is the person we should be thinking about adding to the squad next season on full time basis not someone like Odoi.

Also considering that among the trio of Enzo, Ugarte and Caicedo, non of them can give us that attacking flair as they're much more of defensive than attacking.

Hence, Casadei is a must inclusion.

Capaldi:

Become Good in what aspect exactly? What exactly is Cho good at? He went to Bayernliga and scored 0 goals with 1 solitary assist. Cho is a bang average player that should have been sold a long time ago. We are very good at keeping deadwoods and loaning them over multiple years instead of selling once and for all.

I am actually dumbfounded. With all the chances in this world granted CHO?

FirstbornWds:


Lol. The guy go turn Cheslea to Swansea in no time. Who knows... Him and Boli fit day hatch plan.

Personally, i am not convince with the ability of Ugarte coupled with his indiscipline and reckless tackles. Perhaps he might be worked on since it is a personal choice of Pochetino.

That said, nothing should stop the incorporation of Cesare Casedei into our midfield personnel in this coming season. We have a gem in our hands.

nateevs:


This has been debated over and over. I don't know why we continue to make this an issue.

As a matter of fact, Poch plays predominantly with a 4-2-3-1... And If you want to be nuanced about the starting position of players in that set-up, that will be 6 defensive-minded players. Same number of defensive-minded players in a 3-4-3. Difference between them being that extra defensive-minded is in the centre.

But you don't hear people screaming about 6 defensive-minded player in a 4-2-3-1, because they see a back four.

It might not be an issue to you but it is to many who have grown tired of such set up.

In a 3-4-3, there are 6 defensive players and sometimes 7 depending on the choice of players. Additionally, there are 3 center backs and 2 full or wings backs as the case may be; making 5 defenders practically.

However, that isn't so in a 4-2-3-1. I need to say here that it is not as if i am rooting or perhaps raising hopes about the arrival of Pochettino. It is a no as i am not totally convince with his CV.

Summarily, expected slight deviation from that of the past is pleasing enough.

Amoto94:
Rickie Lambert on Poch: "He’s the manager who I say is the best manager I’ve come across, by some distance as well. His man-management is second to none, and his tactical side and attention to detail is second to none. I think the fans are going to love him, they’re very lucky."

Lamba.

Seeing is believing

Capaldi:

The summer should be straightforward. Pochettino plays with a back 4 and we currently have Chalobah, Silva, Fofana, Benoit and Koulibaly. Keep colwell, sell Koulibaly and Chalobah. If Silva wants to go back to Brazil let him leave and get that France-german center back from Southampton for cheap.

Enough of this 5 defenders and community defending.

This is depriving us another slot in attack.

Borntosmoke:
Lukaku pls avoid this useless team at all cost!!!

April isn't the only month in the season

One wonders how Havertz continue to be a starter for every coach considering the level of bashing from Nairaland.

Though, there are inadequacies in him but his positive contributions outshines any inadequacy.

nateevs:


Don't mind these guys. People think unconscious bias and subsequently racism only occurs in a White coloured body. But this is plain racism on display. If it is English it cannot be good. Even Amodu sef join.

Imagine such nonsense coming from people who support a club that produced Joe Cole. You watch Foden, Rico Lewis, Saka, Bellingham, Rowe Smith and continue to say the English players are below average. Which kain rubbish?

Go to the youth leagues and see what's coming up. Watch Mendel Idowu and tell me he's not something special.

Repeating the same nonsense every week.

Why won't I?

One is growing frustrated everyday with the shit they offer. The growth that supposed to be seen in their overall play is what we're experiencing in terns of frustration.

A player will be termed good if possess a blend of skill set, technique and hardwork. Most of these players are bunch of hustlers lacking football skills.

Mount contributes nothing to midfield play - he always wait for chances creation instead of being chances creator.

Loftus-Cheek, the less said the better.

Gallagher can still be seen in his role, orchestrating play in midfield. However, still average.

I am reminded of Hudson Odoi who nothing is been heard of him in the Bundesliga.

For Graham Potter, Chelsea owners have left us with no choice than to live by the beginner coach.

Almajirihunter:
I'm beginning to buy this British boys mediocrity theory, Gallagher and Mount are just like their elder brother Henderson, they have very low ceilings

Having Mount, Gallagher, Loftus Cheek in midfield and Potter as coach speaks a lot about our present position.

Disheartening we still have people clamouring for these lowly lots.

ImDStar:
Which of the youths?
The ones in irabiji or Lagos?
One thing I've come to discover is, majority of the people supporting Tinubu are the ones outside Lagos and brainwashed that Tinubu built lagos.

It's either 50/50 or Obi wins Lagos with a very slim merging.

If not for threat from Tinubu's agbero to the market women, Peter Obi would beat Tinubu with wide merging.

Abeg stop this merging, allow them go their separate ways.

In proper perspective and expression, the difference in margin between Asiwaju (Ordained winner) and Peter Obi (Ordained loser) will be like heaven and earth.

This kind of picture is depressing for Obidense

I just hope they will not die before the arrival of death

Honestly, I somehow feel Todd has been talking to Graham this whole while and has been receiving his affirmation to the signings we all thought they were making for Tuchel. No surprises, he also plays Tuchel’s formation... It looks more or less like the sack was planned well before now. The Zagreb show was just used as excuse.. And you can't tell me some of the players don't know about the plan and deliberately downed tools to hasten the sack

-Joe Cole

Did he truly say this?

Shut up

Don't abuse the magnanimity of an elder o

donstan18:

“Miss road appreciation”

You’re not in any position to tell me when and how to appreciate a manager I want to appreciate. No be you to tell me who to appreciate and when to do it.

Truly, I don't have any legal right to tell an adult what to do and what not to do. But It will be disservice to you to watch you derail, jettisoning appropriateness for inappropriateness owing to your reservation for Tuchel.

How can you reward a child that failed in class and ignore the child that comes out in flying colours?

You can't do this and we elders watch you effortlessly.

Agba ki wa l'oja, ki ori ọmọ tún tún o wọ

donstan18:

So when are we discussing Di Matteo>> Mou because of UCL and SPENDING??

Appreciating a failed manager in the face of a sacked winner is a miss road appreciation and that is the discussion.

Don't shift goal post.

donstan18:

Yea, Di Matteo >>> Mou

UCL without Spending like Mou.

Thanks

Tuchel >>>>> Lampard
Mourinho >>>>> Lampard
Di Matteo >>>>> Lampard
Conte >>>>> Lampard
Ancelloti >>>> Lampard
Sarri >>>>> Lampard
Benitez >>>>> Lampard
Hiddink >>>> Lampard
Vialli >>>>> Lampard

So let's see where your ink will take you to appreciate these managers, then if you're still left with ink which I strongly doubt, you can appreciate your tested and trusted failure.

donstan18:

Yea, Di Matteo then is deserving of GOAT status over Mou for winning UCL for Chelsea without SPENDING like Mou.

Unthinkable that one will tag Lampard, a trophy less manager GOAT and rank him among title winning managers.

Tuchel, Di Matteo and Mourinho added to our laurels, and so the unforgettable.

donstan18:

My post has nothing to do with your GOAT Tuchel.

Just appreciated Lampard for doing what most managers can’t do even after spending.

Since the appreciation is Chelsea related, Tuchel is more deserving of it for lifting the UCL without spending and has eluded a certain manager even after spending a country's budget.

Let's prioritise weighty attainment and decorate it with weighty appreciation.

donstan18:
Argue till tomorrow, Lampard will remain GOATED for comfortably making top4 with championship academy boys and qualifying Chelsea from UCL group’s stage.

To many of us as a fan, winning that 2nd UCL trophy is a great service than a top 4.

A great tangible and bragging right bequeathed on us by Thomas Tuchel.

Hence, Tuchel is more GOATED in Chelsea's history.

Kovacic did EVERYTHING in that midfield.

He was faced with the dilemma of no midfield partner to exchange passes with. His good for nothing midfield partner, Mount is always in the opposition box waiting for others to create for him when he ought to create.

Check the circuit image shared, Mount is always the fourth man in attack.

Mount supposed to be added to ritual materials to safe us from the rot.

Mount, is that a player?

Mount finishing that match remains a mystery to me.

He neglected his midfield responsibility
Isolated Kovacic all through

Mount contributed nothing while he involved in more minutes than Ziyech and Ziyech is the one called out.

This thread reeks of bias

Yesterday's beautiful performance again clearly shows Tuchel is tactically outstanding and always do his part.

Failure on the part of our attackers to be clinical is always the hitch.
