Thecassanova:
Who dey partner Gallagher for DM role

Nobody, that's why the midfield was open for a while and Gallagher was struggling a bit. It became more secure when RLC started dropping deep.

All these natural disasters sha.
See the sandstorm that hit China.

Thecassanova:
Tuchel utilizing Drinkwater well enough.

Say no to unnecessary £100m Rice.

Abi na. After all if you no see Rice chop, you go drink water go sleep

Oya ring in the changes boss

We should be ahead tho, but we've been wasteful, especially Tammy.

Sarr and Baker have been very impressive. I like what I'm seeing from Sterling...likes to make some forward spurts occasionally to move possession upfield.

Ziyech a bit sloppy but still creating for us. Drinkwater has been lively. Really forward thinking.

Thanks boss

Where I fit stream this thing abeg?

BlueAngel444:
Line up for the friendly tonight

Arrizabalaga; Sterling, Baker, Sarr; Hudson-Odoi, Drinkwater, Gallagher, Alonso; Ziyech, Pulisic, Abraham


Isn't Baker a midfielder

Yeah he is, I'm a bit surprised too. Sarr is the only recognised CB there.

airmark:
I suspect that TT is sticking to his 3 CBs formation with Kounde's chase. You could see how he tried to use Reecy in that RCB position late last season. Kounde will execute it well.

My thoughts exactly. It seems the three man defence is here to stay.

Guess this is a case of 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it,.

Ibime:
Let's not forget that Rudiger refused to sign new contract and has only.one year left

Well his aerial stats that were posted earlier were pretty impressive, so perhaps he compensates with a very good leap.

Still, I wouldn't want to see him vying for a header with Chris Wood

rooftops:
...am I missing something, the aerial duel won here shows he has great leap which is very okay. My only issue with him is that he tends to drive forward a lot, he needs a calm defense partner

Christensen?

Kounde is not slow.

As for height, well Azpi survived - excelled even - in the League so I believe Kounde can cope. Hope he has a good leap though.

BlueMann:
Baba mi, I'm excited for it. First time we'll be seeing Stamford Bridge at full capacity in over a year.

Also a big chance for fringe players to stake a claim and impress the fans. Expect the likes of RLC to be at the centre of attention, because it seems TT really likes the guy. Hopefully we also get to see the likes oof Broja in action.

Big error on my part.
The game will be at the Vitality Stadium, not at the Bridge.

But I think it will be filled to capacity.

TheLequte:
The defending is comical and the GKs are the worst. They react poorly to almost all kinds of shots.

What gets me is them prematurely coming out od their area to claim an aerial ball, realizing they miscalculated and then hurrying back to the line to concede the goal.

Top quality GKs aren't so common in the Women's game. They might be good at shot stopping, but lacking in other areas.

Chelsea's Ann-Katrin Berger and Man City's Ellie Roebuck are the best in the WSL. Berger dey give me joy

Havertz10:
How can both tuchel and Lampard be interested in rice that is conveniently mount's best friend

You guys are turning the club into a joke to suit agendas

Tuchel isn't interested in rice, anybody that has followed tuchel or studied his history at previous clubs would know that he wouldn't be remotely interested in a barbaric, bland, inept, imbecileee like rice

No need for this, sir. Absolutely no need for this.

Skimpledawg:
Bluemann, how do we see our game today?

Women’s football is comical. Bakayoko go don score hattrick in this USA vs AUS game. Werner Mighty go don miss 20 1v1s.

Lolz, you just have to enjoy it for what it is. If you judge using the standards if the male football you're so used to, you no go too enjoy am.


Wait...

TheLequte:
Werner Mighty go don miss 20 1v1s.

Back in action today

ALEXAPLAYME:
The girls tried hopefully we improve on our next game and win

At least they made the scoreline more respectable.

France up next on Friday.

Comeback? Nwanne they should stop playing with my feelings o

BlueMann:
I heard Sue Bird is picking us apart.

That woman na 40 years o

And Taurasi is 39

Senior women

Roland17:
Also @BlueMann dey are breaking the Naija heavy press leading to easy transition buckets.

And the press was working early in the game.

Oh well, never expected us to win anyways.

Roland17:
That is a huge part of it but truthfully, there is a huge gulf in skill level between both teams.

I heard Sue Bird is picking us apart.

That woman na 40 years o

Roland17:
This is looking like a blowout

Not watching currently, but e be like say na height disadvantage dey kill us
Abi

Roland17:
Haha!

She no defer again?

ALEXAPLAYME:
We are supposed to be leading by now. D tigress need to shoot their 2 and 3 well

I no dey watch, but this is the same complaint I'm seeing everywhere. We're just bricking midrange shots, while theirs are falling in much regularly.

The defence is okay from what I'm reading, but the offense sucks

At least they can actually shoot free throws

And size may be a big advantage for the USA.

We're actually doing well turnover wise but apparently the shooting has been so horrible, it could make your eyes water.

Erm...USA don wake up

Can't watch the D'Tigress but it seems we're doing well so far against the USA. I hope they keep it up.

Na text play by play win am

Roland17:
B. Stewart has been deferring way too much. She has to start pressing the issue.

She should keep deferring biko. We like am like that

DeadPresidents:
Don’t know why Chelsea fans keep taking the troll’s bait tbh.

Na just cruise
