Goodbye Bitches..!

Lolz...congrats and good luck

One thing I like about real Madrid is their automatisms in the middle third. Their combination, one touch plays which seems to always free a spare man in that middle. They pull it off quite well.

Omo the Jorginho own shaa

But BTW pulisic is a bastard.

Pulisic...has tired me

I make no excuses again

Unlimited22:
Three moments of madness over the entire tie.

One from Mendy, one from Kante, and the killer blow from Kante and RLC.

Not to mention the big chances missed across both legs.

Android22:
Read the below. It tells you who intercepted the ball from Kante and why he could is what I was saying to itsrm.

Pardon me if I'm not getting it, but let me try to clarify...you're trying to say:
a. Who gets it - Marcelo
b. Why he got it - Cos he likes to operate higher up the pitch than Mendy

That's what you're implying right?


Lol, there's no assurance that Mendy wouldn't have been in that position; its not like he lives in his own half and they were chasing the game afterall.

But all of these would be academic if only Kante put enough height on the ball, something which he had more than enough time to do. That is first an unforced error from Kante before anything else.

Unlimited22:
What?

E muzz me

Five big chances, with four of them missed

Just imagine.

Android22:
That is like saying if someone was marking Rudiger he won't have scored or if Carvahal did not fall Weiner would not have scored. The substitutions forced Kante to make a mistake.

How? The substitutions caused it that there wasn't enough height in his intended pass? Or how do you mean?

KingAlabi:
Cause I didn't check up on you?

You know what? No mind me jare. Carry on with the trolling.

I noticed something. There were too many instances when a pass comes into an area where there are at least two Chelsea players, with each one capable of reaching it. Alas, a lack of communication ensues and they end up leaving it for each other, losing possession in the process.

Also, that cross that James gave Havertz...how many times did we see that from the right wing? That's where I felt RLC at WB would hurt us; Azpi or James would've put in more balls.

Exonerate1:
Benzema is also fasting so end that nonsense talk. He was at fault for both of the goals we conceded and Kovacic carried that midfield

You praising Kovacic?

You??

Roland17:
Spot James in the run up to the goal and his position when Vini got the ball and after the goal was scored.

James was lost positionally. He has struggled to keep up with Vini..

He matched up pretty well with Vini. That was probably one of the very few times Vini had that kind of space with James not around him.

In any case, the turnover was the main problem.

KingAlabi:
Bikeman howfar?

Izzou how you dey alright?

Have some shame nigga

It wasn't to be at the end

But what an effort. Ultimately undone, as we were in the first leg, by errors.

Roland17:
James and RLC were horrible there

That was Kante not James

We tried abeg

Werner!! I love youuuuuuu

Alonso!!

RUUUUUUUUUUUUDDDDIIIIIIII

He's been busy

Didn't create as many chances as I would've hoped.

James has definitely fared much better against Vinicius than Chris did last week. Shame we've had to use him there; we would get more crosses from the right if he were playing wing back. Havertz has been too wide in any case, maybe he and Timo should swap so we can had a taller target to aim at.

Mase!!!!!

That pass from Kovavic was more like it...vertical and incisive, instead of all those sideways passes.

Who has the assist?

1% chance, 99% faith trending

Officially entered "anything wey wan sup go sup" mode...good for the heart

Gentlemen, allow peace into your hearts.

andrewbaba44:
He wasn’t hyped ,calling someone the new Messi doesn’t means any hype.

Same bojan that could not even make the Spanish team and you think he was hyped

Na serious hype be dat...in fact, that is the hypest hype that can ever be hyped

drisham:
Fantastic
James show play RCB while loftus play Wing back what do you think?

Depends on the formation...there's the possibility of Tuchel playing a back four to give room for more attackers since we're chasing the game, but it's risky. So he'll probably go with a back 3.

There's a bit of a dilemma there; playing James at RCB means losing an important asset in offense considering his crossing and shooting. At the same time, Apkororo cannot be allowed to run riot like he did last week. So either James plays RCB or he plays RWB with Azpi (most likely) at RCB, but James will be instructed to keep a keen eye on Vinicius - unlike last week when there was too much space between him and Chris, something which was a tactical error seeing as TT took the blame for it.

I would prefer the latter but if Vinicius is still finding too much joy against Azpi or whoever plays RCB, then he can move James there.

RLC at wing back is not something I would want against Real Madrid. Let one of James and Azpi play there.

Lukaku out for tomorrow's game.

Azpi back in the squad; quite a rapid recovery from covid.

donstan18:
Chelsea Vs Liverpool 2-2 was more interesting

That game was madness. Especially the first half.

Unlimited22:
I love the way his words flow into one another, the way his sentences layer one on top of the other like butter.

It is like listening to a waterfall. Magic.

Unfortunately I'm watching with Martin Tyler on commentary duties. That man is too bland. Takes the life out of goals. Almost zero passion.

Loved Kovacic today

BTW, Roland17 ngbo?

Forget Lampard's win first, how your side?

Crazy how Werner could've had like two hat tricks.

What a lovely day it's been... Goals flowing, Lampard W together with an L for the scummies, and an L for Arsenal.

Wouldn't mind Spurs winning tbh.
