ThierryJay:
You must be joking

Pippo was UCL top scorer in 02/03 with 10 goals and Milan won the UCL that season. He then scored around another 20 in domestic competitions.

A 30-goal season that brought in both UCL and Serie A trophies is what you call meaningless??

What brand of Semo are you smoking..D

You are still dropping meaningless epistles in my mentions.

PDPGuy:
Leicester City receiving £160 million for both Fofana and Maguire has to rank up there as one of the biggest heists in football history!

Up there with the 155million we got from Mount and Hazard.

ThierryJay:
Inzaghi that scored 10 UCL goals alone in 02/03 season? This your stats is giving agenda vibes o.

He scored 10ucl goals in 02/03 and so flipping what? Luiz Adriano scored 9 champions league goals in 2014 playing for Shakhtar. Stop dropping meaningless stats in my mentions when I was pointing out his league tallies.

diggz:
Oga abeg I no know about Klose and co o. Abeg make you no disrespect my Filippo Inzaghi bros lol

Inzaghi was dropping Chris wood numbers .

raumdeuter:
How many strikers do you have currently that score 20 league goals per season

List 10 of them

You are asking me a senseless question. List ten of them like I care about whatever you have going on.

Hyping up strikers that only had one 20league goals In their entire career some even none. Klose, inzaghi, Crespo, Salas, Owen, lmao. Death of strikers my dogs ass.

Nostalgic merchants glorifying strikers like Inzaghi, Wright, klose, Jardel, Zamorano, Salas, Crespo, Roy Makaay, Trezeguet etc. Those are the names that shows strikers are dying lmao. Nostalgia is a bad thing.

Realtord43:
It time Chelsea say goodbye to our doctors, King James, Fofana and Lavia.

James as the next 6months to prove himself or we find a solution. Fofana is already turning into Mason Mount for us.

swiz123:
I hope that will be enough to convince Leverkusen to give us Frimpong.

I 100% prefer average defending and beastly attacking abilities in a full back. Who cares about outdated full backs when we should be spending 70% of the game balling on opposition half.

Frimpong has a release clause of 40million so we don't have to sell anyone. The problem is Enzo likes his fullback to invert which doesn't suit frimpong or any other attacking fullback. Even Gusto is stifled in this system.

Recce James look leaner in recent training pictures. That's a good sign.

Altern8tor:
U are not getting my point,,I'm saying it's d lessons Poch learnt from the first 18games he used to get better results in the second half of the season....if we are to extrapolate,,we can safely say d second half of the season for maresca could be better than the first half of the season under maresca.... Even if we end up with d same stats with the first half of the season,,we have done better than Poch

You are still not getting it. We should just leave at that. No point arguing over two rookie coaches.

Altern8tor:
Don't mind him...it took Poch 18games to understand how to play Chelsea,,he wants to compare with maresca that hit the ground running...d difference between each coach has be visible

Who is comparing who to who? Are you guys dumb or what. Reason I hate pointless arguments on nairaland were people can't even read properly. Someone made a statement that we were in 10th position and hardly winning games before Maresca. I brought out stats that showed pochettino last 18 games is identical to Maresca. Difference is visible yet Maresca is not outperforming a useless pochettino he took over from. There's no need wasting my time.

nateevs:
You are capping. Why don't you use both their first 18 league games for comparison?

This is not a serious argument.

Refer to my other reply. You made a comment overrating Maresca impact trying to paint him as a savior.

nateevs:
Bunch of fucking ingrates turning on Maresca. Imagine. When we were languishing in 10th last season, you would have been lucky to be in contention to win any game at all. Guy put us in title contention in under a third of the season with tactical flexibility, we dey blame am.

This is the form table for 2024.

Pochettino 18games, Maresca 18games with identical win, draw and lose record. Pochettino with more goals scored while Maresca with better defensive record. Just like pochettino before him he hasn't done anything unique.

Altern8tor:
Last Ke,,Pls use d first 18 league games let me check something.... That is a better comparison

Did Maresca take over from pochettino after his first 18 games or last?

The reason I highlighted our last 18game was to show the form we were in before Maresca took over.

drisham:
I checked to confirm it isn't boss

Go and read my post again.

drisham:
Is this true?

Although I remember saying us being second is largely due to most of the top teams fumbling

100%. Our current record is identical to pochettino last 18league games.

Maresca has been mentioning a number of times now that Madueke is not training well. Saying he scored and thinks he's arrived. It means exactly what some of us think and been saying for a while now - he's got poor professional attitude in training, and rightly, must not play.

Guess what

Last 18league game of last season under a useless pochettino: 10 wins, 5draws, 3L

After 18league games this season: 10wins, 5draws, 3L.


You are overrating Maresca impact.

I can boldly tell you non of our winger is as hungry or deadly as Neto. Blame Maresca for misusing him.

Neto was forced to defend all through thanks to the useless Gusto.

It's looking like another PFA player of the year and golden boot for Salah. Greatest fumble of all time.

City in crisis 6L in 17games. La Liga champions in October 5L in 19games.

We can't miss out on Wirtz.

Nairaland posts are your evidence for a player we have been scouting before Tuchel even landed at Chelsea. You all really need to do better.

diggz:
Nah... I no gree bro... 1000% Tuchel signing.

Fofana has been scouted by us since he was at St Etienne. There were rumors going as far back as 2 years before we signed him. He was a player the club had complete info on and wanted.

Unlimited22:
He was a good tactician and man-manager bit his recruitment?

Chukwu ekwela ihe ọjọọ abeg

Don't buy into that nonsense narrative. During his time Chelsea signed Lukaku, Cucu, Sterling, Koulibaly and Fofana. 60% of those were Club signings especially Lakaka and Fofana.

When it comes to fullbacks Cobham remains undefeated. We have had Lamptey, James, Aina, Hall, Maatsen, Livramento and now Acheampong.

Realtord43:
Bundesliga Tax. He is not even better than Nkunku

Nkunku is just a slightly better goalscorer and maybe finisher. Passing and dribbling Omar is looking better. He has that German gene of playing football.

Vischy:
Real Madrid are bottlers, atletico Madrid is watching from the corner and by Sunday they go top of league.

Barca always flogs Atletico Madrid. Don't put your hope up. They are the ones I want to win the league but it's not going to happen.

I have been following this Omar Marmoush and am impressed. Goals, passes, good dribbler, skillful and also can take a mean free kick. Nigga dives a lot tho and little sample size to actual judge so he might just be having a one off season plus Bundesliga tax.

Vischy:
We were told Barca won laliga in October after trashing real Madrid so what's happening now? Who are the bottlers and who's bottling the league now after 9 points gap?

I warned you all about flick but you were blinded by wins against Bayern and Madrid. Flick ball always starts so well untill it crumbles. He did the same thing with Germany. If Madrid didn't have vibes and inshallah as a manger they would be at least 6 points clear by now.

WhoDeyHause:
Forget noni would automatically be our right winger for years if he switches, that guy has been cooking from youth levels with them palmer, bellingham and musiala, he can be selfish and annoying but he's good.

Good at what? I really don't get what you guys see in Maduks.

drisham:
Switched allegiance from england to Nigeria and won the African best player a year after, kudos to lookman


If olise, madueke and co like they should continue warming england bench

Olise plays for France and that bum Madueke should not even try it.
