Its like Arsenal fans don't know what they are saying

Roberto is the best RB in the world

RB wet dey attack like a 10 and defend like a 5

lordfalcao:
The scouts identify talents and targets, submits to Emenalo (who is like Abromovic eyes on the club) Emenalo in turn submits to Abromovic who makes the final say on who to sign or not. maria in turn takes over and complete the Deal.

I don't see the much Emenalo does to warrant blame.

BS
Emenalo doesn't need to inform Roman about Bodji and Hector before turning them down
Emenalo is not meant just to Submit!! He should scan,check and watch the player because submitting to Roman is like giving your consent and we all know Roman trusts him

No wonder Jose went to Roman personally to ask for Costa and Fabregas to prevent any Emenalo foul play

Abi Roman knew who Miazga was! If he wanted someone to just pass Info from scouts to him,he could have appointed Linda ikeji at least she handles information well
There is a reason they call it TD

lordfalcao:
he is not the one that signs... go and read the article nihilist dropped.. mourinho identified Costa and Luis for reason best know to him he was the one that gave the order for Luis be sold..

what are you actually saying?

Who identified Miazga,Baba,Hector and Bodji

lordfalcao:
blame ibime, he made most of all here believe Emenalo was the Main culprit. but Nah I am seeing a different picture to this!!

Talk for yourself...Ibime didn't have to blame him before I know Emenalo is useless


Ibime also convinced millions of CFC fans on twitter?

Bimffo:
Nihilist has a point. Marina is in charge of player transaction, but who recommends these type of players? That should be the TD. Right?

Na still Emenalo signings na....When we say Emenalo signing we are actually saying the signings Emenalo brought to the team,Marina na just to price market na

So Marina has no fault whether a player is a hit or not

Waow!!! So Ballack is 40 today

Apart from the Eagles stars he was the first player I adored...
I remember during the 2002 WC,anytime I asked my Dad about the scores and he mentioned Germany's scoreline I will always ask him 'that Ballack again?!

We went to a friend's house to see the final at 12 noon but the Idiot already got suspended, pain me die......Though I missed Ballack but I saw Ronaldo,That game is one of the very few live games of Ronaldo I saw

Ballack on a free transfer is one of the best deals we have ever done

Nihilist:
Emenalo does not sign anybody at Chelsea.

I only posted that picture to show Bimffo how different people pose with players at our club. I said it back then during my argument with Ibime that the main guy that signs players is Roman Abramovich. He's the one that makes the decisions.

Regarding your question about Hazard. Let me leave you with a quote from Rudi Garcia - then Hazard's manager at Lille.



Hazard himself claims that though he didn't speak to Roman that day, the call actually happened.



Hazard is a Drogba signing mate...

Good then.....
But if Emenalo doesn't sign anyone,who signed Djijilobodji and Miazga?
Because those look like a TD signing

Nihilist:
This is why you need to research what is going on before you make blanket statements.

Piet, take it away please...

Cortouis



Lukaku


KDB




All 'Emenalo signings'

OK you are right...
I saw what you did there MR

The crux of the matter is Hazard,you intentionally jumped to the others
Buroda Nihilist,is Hazard an Emenalo signing?
Yes/No

Nihilist:
So who is the Emenalo signing now?

Only one club we have Emenalo signing, Jose signing, Conte signing, Marina signing, Piet de Visser signing, etc.

You genuinely believe that all these people are signing players for Chelsea at the same time?

Lukaku,KDB,Courtois and the rest are Emenalo's
Hazard na Roman signing,just like Torres

Hazard no be Emenalo signing

Bimffo:
Emenalo was born in Aba na. The guy is Aba made, I swear.

Ordinary Kalou, we can't replace.

Why did we buy Willian in the 1st place?

Ancelloti is a really good coach...

Gone are the days we used to have Belleti,Kalou,Alex,Bertrand and Josh Mcheran (can't even remember the name). .Thats a perfect bench there

Then the same Roman that can't fire Emenalo fired him and we started hiring Scolari and the AVBs and with them came players like Mata,Oscar,Ramirez,Luiz and co

Our XI under Ancelotti ehn.....Defenders that don't actually defend and equally good on the ball,we are talking about Alex,Terry,Cole,Belleti
Midfielder that do their jobs effectively, no ninnies, no useless dribbles, no show offs..... Tackles,pass,mark and score,No time
And forwards that don't waste time,either cross or shoot...

We didn't played tiki taka and we didn't have players with very very good techniques but we score A LOT... The whole team na goals,The Belleti probably has more goals than Willian in less apps

Ball is about goals jare...Right now if the chance doesn't fall to Costa then we are screwed, back then na only Cole no fit score, the chance can fall to anybody else and I wouldn't care

Ballack and Lampard were the best in their style just like Xavi and Iniesta were the best in theirs,We held them for 180 mins with malouda and Anelka on the wings when Barca had Messi and Henry

Roman should better pack his money and spend,I need that midfield again...apart from Hamsik,KDB,Nainggolan and koke,I can't think of those kinda CMs in football right now

Bimffo:
I am not suggesting we play 4 -Diamond -2 with this set of players o.. We can't even try it with Kante, Oscar, Matic and Fabregas.

I was just remembering how we played then. And Yes The diamond formation don't accomodate Wing players.

Barca replaced Abidal,Alaves,Messi,Xavi,Eto and henry nicely
Bayern got another Robbery in Coman and Douglas

We can't even replace Kalou

Emenalo was appointed in 2010,that was the last time we had a good squad

Bimffo:
Hmmmm.. Its not about the Best player. Its about who is getting the Job done.

WTF!!! The person that sanctioned the sale of De bruyne should be given a reserved spot in Hell after Death.

De bruyne got 39 assist since we bought Willian.

Na KDB and Salah pain me pass....

When I said Willian is a useless somebody and should be sold months back they all came at me...
How can a human being have 11A in 101apps This is a guy who took over 60% of our set pieces over that period
Willian has 2 great chances to pull one back when it was 2-0 but the guy better than musonda and Moses threw it all away

I don't just understand

nateevs:
Locking up shop, that 11 will work. Offensively, apart from counter-attacking system, that is disaster waiting to happen.

The only thing I blame Conte for is sticking with this 4-3-3. If he's going to fail, I will prefer he does so, doing what he knows how to do. I think we should be inventive and risk a 3-5-2 instead.

Zouma Terry Azpili/Luiz
Kante Chalobah
Moses Fab Hazard
Mitchy Costa

Best set up for now.....But we both know Hazard can't/won't track back

Bimffo:
Maybe the Tactics are faulty because there are no real personnel to execute the tactics. Your combination of Kante - Oscar - Fabregas maybe too offensive and the work load will be too much for Kante.

The 3rd goal on Saturday for Example. Everyone was out of position except Kante and he got turned like hot amala. Even the 2nd goal. Kante was coming to help Fabregas after Fabregas had become "Aja Arin." And Kante slipped again.

You remember our game against Real Madrid during Pre season, Oscar partnered Kante/Matic (Can't remember), and some of us complained here that why would Oscar patner a 4, but it was pre season, so no problem.

So the question now is in a 4-3-3 formation, won't Oscar sleep off and füück Kante up when we are caught on the counter.?

Fabregas = Creator.
Oscar = Runner.
Kante = Destroyer..

Why can't we think of.?

Fab = Creator.
Kante = Runner.
Luiz = Destroyer.

And we can even draft Chalobah, if he continues to impress.

I don't trust Matic and I don't trust Oscar..

I remember the Second leg against PSG and the game at Etihad,Both times Luis looked like the best DM ever.....But Zouma won't come back and just return to being Zouma,Playing Luiz has a DM in front of Cahil makes no sense when you could just Bench Cahill and fit in Chalobah
If we have a confirm defence no reason not to play him as a DM

Bimffo:
Batshuayi and Costa patnership for 90 minutes will be cool. They gonna give any defence a lot of problems..

One of the several times, you would appreciate Ancelotti's time at Chelsea.

4 - Diamond - 2.

There is a difference between Lampard-Ballack-Essien-Mikel diamond and Hazard-Fabregas-Kante-Moses diamond

Diamond don't usually fit wingers

I remember Carlo even had to change to 4-3-3
Lamp-Ballack-Essien
Anelka-Drogba-Malouda

Bigkesh Big Keshi
Commander of all things youth.
Mr. Our youth will finish top 10 in EPL
You have now joined 442 gang.
Lewis baker is now suddenly midfield saviour. .

Issokay. . . issokay. . . . isssokay

Let me assume you are serious
M only saying Baker is better than the useless Oscar and Matic and even though he is not close to fabregas he is way better defensively

If you recall correctly I have always been part of the 4-4-2 gang....I think I had a discussion with Griffon why 4-4-2 suits us better

And yes our youth is better than the rubbish we have in the first team

4-4-2

Azpi- Terry -Luiz -Alonso
Chalobah- Kante
Moses- Michy- Costa- Hazard



Lock the shop all the way till January......Moses and Hazard on the counter

Hazard doesn't give Full backs headache again,since he likes drifting to the middle he should be moved to the right and Let Moses' pace and directness really help on the left
Michy and Costa with the goals,Michy just needs to finish better

Chalobah,Alonso and hopefully Zouma will go a long way in improving the defence

And to think Lewis Baker would have easily solved our midfield problems....more defensive than fabregas and contributes way more with the ball than Oscar and Matic



This is our best team.....Nothing less

raumdeuter:
Less that 12 months ago Slaven Bilic,Mahrez Kante, Payet, Vardy could do no wrong

Itumo?

Our problem started when the Mourinho dynasty was ageing and Roman wanted a change of style only to entrust the project with Emenalo,and later on Mourinho..

We need someone with football brain up there,maybe from Barca or Bayern or something
We are the only big team using Defensive full backs, 2 DMs,A defensive winger and a 10 that must mark or tackle..

We were suppose to rebuild this summer but we gave Cahill,Iva and Willian new contracts.... Foolish TD
Pep said we need 10 new players,I think we need 13

Call me crazy but apart from the usual waste we should sell,I would bin Hazard and Costa if that means I will get Auba and Icardi/Dembele

Someone will come and tell me Andreas isn't better than any of our CB, Cahill inclusive... I laugh
We chose Salah over Griezman,Cuadrado over Costa...That explains it

How can a club still have Willian on the wings in a 4-3-3 after spending up to $100m on wingers in 5 years ...Salah,Cuadrado, Marin,Pedro,Schrulle,Moses......That's enough to sign one quality Winger that Musonda and co can back up


We are a poorly managed club

dopeJemi:
Bigkesh, remember when y'all claimed to have stolen Pedro from us? And even made a movie about it with blockbuster pictures

Buhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

You know that movie was made by Aba boys right.....Just like the player,it was a pirated copy

nateevs:
Bros abeg siddon. You didn't remember tactics on the day of the Liverpool game. You were screaming play Fabregas, play Fabregas, as though, that's all he needed to do to get back to winning ways.

Emotional ninjas are screaming over the place, instead of keeping a level head and analyzing historically.

When I was screaming two three, years ago that JM is killing Chelsea with his tactics and filling the team with uncreative elements, y'all were screaming pragmatism.

Now you are hailing Pep. You forgot the same Pep said Chelsea needs 10 new players. In case you don't know, he meant creative players - the type JM never liked.

Hailing Pep but failing to note that Conte is compromising on his principles - 3-5-2 & 4-4-2 - and playing 4-3-3 instead, to accommodate the crap we have.

Sit down and watch carefully mate.

We conceded 2 against Liverpool without Cesc so he isn't the problem

We tried building from the back but with Cahill and Iva that's almost impossible, I can't count the number of times Both of them misplaced a pass

Conte's Idea is clear and wonderful but the team selection is a big problem for him

He has a team good enough to execute 4-4-2
Moses and Hazard on the Flanks
Bats and Costa up top
Kante and anybody except Matic

If Jose is guilty of playing Power over Sense then so is Conte
Willian>Moses?
Matic>Fab?
Iva>Alonso?

Conte and late subs

FBS:
Second half come back loading....

3-5-2 needed

Michy and Costa

Alonso hazard fabregas kante Willian

Chalobah Luiz Cahill

Of all teams...Arsenal for goodness sake


Managers have problems ooo,so Conte will tell me Moses,Chalobah,Oscar and Alonso don't deserve to start

But Conte is s better tactician than Jose


Nonsense

But Willian is better than Moses

I don't pity Conte....no be me day play Willian,Matic and Iva

chrisley024:
Blind is my MOTM

Hererra man........

Someone just compared Rooney and Young to Muniru and Ambali

Diademk07:
Good performance from us so far.

However, what some are failing to say is Leicester 2-man midfield and their defence hasn't been only awful but also sluggish without Okazaki nor Kante to do the pressing in the middle. Fusch, Simpson, Huth, Amarte, Drinkwater were godamn horrible as part of the back 6! Only Morgan has been decent in there.

The fuch,Simpson, Huth and Drinkwater that won the league with 1/8 of LVG's budget?

Dabbing header

Lana1:
Seems Mourinho doesn't trust Pogba as a 10.

Leicester are gonna defend and hit on Counter,if you wanna break them you can't use Pogba as a 10
