The new found love for Jorginho on this thread no be here, I need that guy babalawo

It's a beautiful tale Not just on this thread, but on various media and forums.

Funny, when you remember that he was getting booed by his own fans in the Stadium some two years ago

Anyways we're set to sign Lauren James from Man United women. One of the most highly rated youngsters in England, she won the young player of the season in the WSL last season and finished United top scorer (I think). She will be the costliest transfer in WSL (abi na Chelsea) history.

We're stacked in the front line, but James can be used in both attack and midfield, especially seeing as Hayes is in charge and is good as utilizing players in different positions.

Lauren is 19 years old.

And last but not least, she's the sister of our very own gee, Reece!

What's more? She's the last Manyoo player to lay hands on the UCL title

How is this possible abeg??

Damn. Different gravy.

afrodoc2:
I like the way Livramento plays the position. He has the technique of a midfielder. I think the others are better athletes though.

That guy is another versatile player. Can play virtually anywhere on the right, be it right fullback, wing back, right midfield or right wing. There's been arguments on whether he should continue as a full back or moved to the wings.

Not surprised both Jorginho and Hojbjerg made the list. Both deserve to be there.

Pro escort and anti escort, can we call a truce now?

Amoto94:
I am happy for the guy as well injuries wrecked him and his stature didn't help as well he was too frail to shield the ball and goes to the ground easily back then. The player I'm looking forward to is Dujon Sterling he was better than James as a youth player and injuries did him bad when he went on loan.

Ahh, I had forgotten about Sterling. Omo we dey produce right backs oh; Sterling, James, Lamptey and now Livramento, another guy I'm looking forward to watching.

Ibunkun1:
Geez, no be Musonda I dey see so?

Yup, he's back, looking fitter than ever!

His story is a touching one sha, heard he was told to forget about playing football again. Dude was very highly rated then.

I hope he makes it big, whether at Chelsea or elsewhere.

Meanwhile I'm looking forward to seeing the likes of Mbuyamba, Guehi, Sarr and Gallagher in preseason. Mbuyamba amd Guehi especially

Amoto94:
I watched their game against Argentina during FIBA 2019 they missed several shots and defensively they were poor, this time around they seemed to have improved especially perimeter shooting.

Spot on about their perimeter shooting. Heard they got 60 points on threes against the USA

Amoto94:
Nigeria male Basketball team defeated Argentina after defeating USA previously, they've made significant progress from their performance in the last FIBA. I hope they won't quake when the Olympics begin.

Absolutely fantastic from. The D'Tigers, beating two top teams back to back. USA also lost again, this time to Australia 91-83 or so. Seems the US are not in form.
At the same time, this one na just exhibition. O hope, like you said, they can keep up this form when the tournament proper starts.

I believe we play Australia next.

Ibime:
What is Pulisic doing there? I thought USA were playing Gold Cup?

The USMNT's squad at the Gold cup is weakened, cos most of their Europe based stars like Pulisic and McKennie excused themselves, due to the timing of the competition.

Pulisic sef has been trending for the wrong reasons. Pesin wey dem wan chop raw simply because of a stunt gone wrong, after he fell on a Goliath fish (or sum like that), an endangered fish species, while joggling a ball on the edge of a boat. His dad said he's even recieved death threats. Na that one off me.

I'm not surprised that team of the tournament list is fake. People no learn from 2018 world cup, when one controversial-as-hell list was released

Our preseason will start in Ireland later this month...there isn't really any set date (or even opponent, I think) but we might play one or two games there.

The one I know for sure is that we'll be playing Arsenal and Tottenham early August, before the Super Cup against Villarreal.

The friendly in Ireland will likely be executed by fringe players, since most senior players that went for the Euros and Copa are yet to join the preseason.

hensben:
Mount played LAM for Chelsea last season due to tuchel’s formation. His role has not being defined yet.

I agree on his role not being very clearly defined. I look forward to seeing what Tuchel will do this season - if he plans to continue with the back three, or go back to a back four.

Havertz10:
why hasn't he done it again at the euros? Kane isn't good enough?


Which striker is good enough to unlock mount's creativity?

The question was about what part of Mount's career is comparable to that of Sancho, and I gave you the answer

Havertz10:
has mount excelled?

Which part of mount's career is comparable to sancho?

The part where he provided the assist for the winning goal in the Champions League final.

Ibime:
Mount played on the wing yesterday.

Which part of 3-4-3 formation do you not understand?

Even the middle third was occupied by Kane dropping deep.

The drifting I'm talking about did not start yesterday. Yeah he played on the wings, so perhaps I was wrong to say it was the reason he was anonymous. But I have indeed noticed before now that he has this tendency to either move too wide or too high, instead of maybe utilizing pockets of spaces in the middle more often. Might be tactical, but I've noticed it even before now.

Havertz10:
If havertz started that Fa cup final game, we would have won it, anybody that supports mount being the creative hub for Chelsea is evil

when your country or club needs you, top players are able to switch into another gear to have an impact

They said that we need kane, that timo is the person holding mount from getting 100 assists

We have seen mount playing with kane did he produce the goods? how about a final with the expectation of an entire nation behind him, when I said that havertz created that goal against city, you thought that I was hating, watch the replay, mount isnt creative enough to plan or orchestrate a play like that, mount is a marmite player, it's no longer an argument about his abilities, it's obvious that he isn't good enough, some people just wouldn't accept that their wrong, they would rather watch other players suffer playing with him than accepting that he is a squad player, mount's days scamming people with vibes will soon be over, the whole world has seen why more than half of Chelsea fans dislike the guy, Tuchel is aware, he kept sending him deep into midfield, tuchel knows that he isn't good enough, that's the truth, you wouldn't push a creative player back if you think that his talents are better utilized in the attacking 3rd


did you know that havertz was the first Chelsea player at the euros to give his shirt to a fan but he sent someone, he didn't do it for attention, he was asked for it and he sent someone, doesn't do things for clout or vibes, serious footballer

You're still on about that Havertz goal. It's shit like this that make people tag you as a hater.

No one can downplay Havertz's role in the goal - he saw the space, made the run and of course scored it. But to continually downplay Mount's pass as an 'aided assist' simply because Havertz stretched out his hand is crazy.

It was a sublime pass and a fantastic assist. Lovely assist by Mount, lively goal by Havertz. End of story.

Also, your last paragraph is premium okoto, and shows you will go any length to make Mount look bad. Imagine dragging him because he gave someone his shirt

That thing about Mount drifting is true. It's something I have noticed, and it's the reason he was as anonymous as he was. He drifts out and stays on the periphery a lil too much, when he should be drifting INTO spaces in the middle third of the pitch. It's a shame, because he possesses a fantastic halfturn and him making himself available in those pockets of spaces would lead to some quick transitions up the pitch and benefit his team.

However, it IS something that can be corrected and learned as he continues to develop. That's why while I recognise that it's a problem, I do believe it can be rectified as he matures. I've watched him for three years, and he has made improvements in different facets of his game, and I believe he will continue to get better from here.

What me I sha don't agree with is when one says things like there's nothing remotely creative about him, or he can't make a through pass to save his life, or he cannot improve. These are simply not true. In fact, they're very false. There's plenty of room for improvement in the playmaking aspect of his game, but saying he offers nothing in that regard is too much of a stretch.

I feel this very season will be very defining for him, and the other young guys like Havertz. He's got to show that he can be THAT guy, and while I believe he has the tools to be THAT guy, he has to start showing it.

Funny how a few of us warned about Italy right from the beginning...

donstan18:
Sancho must flop.


He will and must flop.


What a waste!!!!


This is what I came to say....
