Chai I don miss!

Any talking point ?

Nothing much, except there was physical gbas gbos everywhere. I think there was an incident involving Maguire and Kamil Glik right before halftime. Grealish chop fouls tire, na small thing remain for am to fight

Was more impressed by Poland. Lewandowski was really good. England were mostly average - even Kane that scored a stunner had a below par performance.

Poland vs England was a physical war.

Copa America vibes.

Havertz on the bench. Thankfully that means he's shaken off his illness.

[quote author=ALEXAPLAYME post=105610061][/quote]No shaking.

Na Liverpool sha go suffer am pass.

Talk your own and don't wait for ibi.me to confirm something before you agree. Did you wait for him to open his eyes before you open your own eyes to watch the game on the TV ?

He said what I was gonna say, hence I said 'as Ibime said'. I didn't (and don't) wait for anybody to confirm shit. I evaluated both and reached a conclusion which was the same as what he posted.

The reference was harmless. No need to bitch about it.

Anyways like Mr Ibime said, I'll take Azpi since were talking bout this past decade.

thorrvik55:
Azpi that is low-key like Aaron Wanbisaka when he is in an attacking position and is only good defending 1v1..

Most of his crosses are either over hit or they don't get past the first man

Prime Ivanovic - Good 1v1, good defending setpieces, good attacking setpieces, good when he pushes high up the pitch

Azpi lowkey like AWB in attack?

popizaino:
Who was a defensive beast ? Pls dont let us revisit Ivanovic's case. I did not chose Azip by mistake, Ivanovic will not even make my bench.

YOUR bench...

@ Popizaino

Concerning that Bielsa - Leeds ball possession scenario you cited, I personally think that it was as much Guardiola's tactical approach as it was Bielsa's. What I mean is that, I feel in as much as Leeds dominated possession, they did so only because City let them do so. Guardiola prolly felt Leeds would go toe-to-toe with them, and decided to tweak his usual possession based approach into a more counter attacking one, in order to exploit Leeds' high risk system.

While Bielsa and Pep are both heavy on possession, Pep has a much better squad that should be able to execute the possession based football better that Bielsa's squad.

So for me, Leeds had >70% possession after 40 mins only because City allowed for it to happen. It Pep meant to drag that ball possession with Bielsa, Leeds for no see pass 35-40%.

Lukaku and Werner on fire...things you love to see.

Hopefully this marks a turnaround in form for Timo. After all, his barren run started in one of the International breaks last season.

Wait, Kounde removed Sevilla from his Insta bio?
E don reach like that?

Meanwhile Broja scored the winner for Albania today

Havertz10:
was mount the only sub that came on? How many goals and assist does he have? or his impact is intangible as usual

He did win the penalty which Kane converted to make it two...

Just pipe down chief. Not every time is for trolling.

timbros:
Champions League final.

Chelsea 1-0 Man City.

96th minute.

Mahrez shot.

How many of you guys have a mini heart attack this very moment?

Bros!!!!!

I remember this moment vividly. My heart missed a couple of beats, no kidding at all.
Could literally hear my heartbeat right after.

Tension no good oh

Segedinho:

Damn...Mr Reliable

Ihebu4chelsea:
tuchel isn't impressed!!

Yes, Tuchel isn't impressed...with Senior man Alonso for getting dispossessed by one big small boy training with the first team for the first time

Ibime:
That Kelechi 2nd goal just too much. Nothing like a striker that makes time slow down in the box. Senior Man Kels was.my pick to replace Costa that year when everyone was dragging Morata and Lukaku

And Uncle Rodgers will still bench him for one Ayoze Perez next week

Be like na to comot from Leicester be the best thing for am.

OJURONGBE1:
I hear say this boy is 16-17years old
He's 6ft tall already while i am edging closer to 30 but i am just 5.7ft
O'boy, nature cheat me for stature.

E
He's 19 o

eitsei:
like there aren't people who don't like Harvertz too

Eggzactly.

But thankfully he's been getting lots of love recently cos of his UCL winning goal, plus he had a good Euros outing.

Mbuyamba training with the first team

Havertz10:
which twitter Cowry?

Follow Chelsea related topics, visit Chelsea twitter page, wouldn't take you more than 50 seconds to find a disparaging comment concerning mount

People say that i hate him here but honestly i'm very nice compared to some Brits that have seen the fugazi of a player that he is

First of all, the bolded is cap

Second, the guy was talking about posts or threads which intend to demean Mount in order to praise Havertz, or vice versa. He didn't say there aren't people on Twitter or other platforms who don't like Mount.

erusen:
yes Mason mount and Kai havertz are mutually inclusive on this thread ,I won't bring up mount in discussions about havertz outside this place.lets pretend that people who want havertz or mount to failure here don't do it because they want to hype the other.

Hmmm...sadly you do have a point. Not everyone here is like that tho...I for one don't hype one to discredit the other, and vice versa.

Would be nice if less people jump on the bandwagon.

Havertz10:
All this fanfare over an old man, i'm not an ageist but nobody is really bothered about Ronaldo

Ronaldo is 37, it's poetic that it's in the premier league, that he scored the least amount of goals in his career that he wants to come and play his no pace football, they will retire him quick

Ronaldo will be underwhelming at united, the excitement among united fans is a good case study of why unread people shouldn't have voting rights

Have you sat down to look at the coach, team dynamics and plotted a path that will lead to full utilization of a Ronaldo with no pace in a fast paced league, you don't have a holding midfielder, errors everywhere too many to mention

He wouldn't score more than 20 league goals and 8 will be penalties

Ah! Uncle Jude dropping an epistle in the manure thread!

erusen:
ibime I have 3 simple questions for you
1.did mount perform better than havertz in the euros?
2.how was the team built around havertz
3.was havertz responsible for Germany humiliation.
No wahala ,as flick don come we go revist their international career next year

Na wa o...but wetin bring Mount inside the matter now
Are they mutually inclusive?

Y'all/we can hype/discredit one without hyping/discrediting the other...though I'd rather we support both of them

BlueAngel444:
heard Kovacic had a great WC qualifier game

Heard so too, tho I no watch.

But him and Jorgo should still beware

Griffon:
Mehn, Niguez looked very sharp in Chelsea's training. Perfect control, quick pass, and physical agility all on point.

Jovacic beware, King Saul is here

Na wa o. See as dem launch objects towards Sterling.

Wonder what was written on his shirt

Hungary have really stifled England, gosh

Meanwhile; somewhere in Seville...

Apparently this my bros dey PARA...so angry, he isn't picking calls from Monchi or Lopetegui

thorrvik55:
Wetin sup?

Him and his coach, Vahid Halihodzic, have been having some sort of a back and forth.

The summary is that (I think) Halihodzic thinks Ziyech feigned an injury and was generally unimpressed by his behaviour, hence he left him out of their (Morroco's) squad for the upcoming WC qualifiers. Ziyech seemingly responded with a laughing emoji on Instagram.
Halihodzic recently made some statements about Ziyech faking injury even when the medical team deemed him fit, and also said he refused to warm up because he was disappointed to be a substitute and stuff like that.
Ziyech has now responded, saying : “For the first time in my coaching career, I have seen behaviour that disappoints me. A player who refuses to play a game, admittedly a friendly, on the pretext that he is injured. The medical staff made several examinations and said he could play. He then refused to warm up in the second half because he was disappointed to be a substitute.

Ziyech has now responded, saying "Next time you want to speak SPEAK THE TRUTH THEN...!!!", adding a clown emoji at the end

Safe to say he won't be playing for the Atlas Lions anytime soon. At least that means we'll have him here when the AFCON is ongoing. And it's also good news for the Super Eagles, cos it means one main rival is weakened

Capaldi:
.

Was this statememtt made before or after Morata was signed?

E fit tay before we see Ziyech play for Morroco again o
