Griffon:
His shooting is his biggest weakness, bar that, he’s a very decent forward esp off the ball.

You rarely find strikers who occupy the defenders. An effective occupying of the defenders drags them out of position which ultimately creates passing lanes and spaces for the likes of Palmer, Madueke and Neto to exploit and score.

Jackson does this effectively, the only reason you’re not seeing us scoring so high is because those ninjas NJ creates spaces for are either profligate or play with hindsights. This is the singular reason why myself and the likes of nateevs and Ibime believe NJ isn’t entirely the problem upfront rather his supporting cast.

Weeks ago we saw Dembele playing as a false 9 for PSG. He only had one job to do - drag the defenders out of position, while Doue and Kvara carries out the damage. If na some Einsteins for here, they’ll be clamoring for Ronaldo de Lima to lead the line, forgetting that football has gone past the stage when traditional no9 is everything.

Jackson in either of Barca, City, Madrid, PSG, Arsenal etc is great asset. If you know you know.

The boy will cook in a team with a good attacking band.

Maresca should try moving him to the left

Amethyst101:
I think our games are spread out nicely

Don't use alternate accounts to access Nairaland after being banned. If you do, make sure we don't find out.

April may looks very tough NGL and it's a crucial part of the season

Capaldi:
We have been watching the exact same boring dross for 65% of the season. Sit in a 3-2-5 and pass it around. No intricate movement, no running in behind, no fast interplay in the middle, nothing.

We are not ready for the champions league at all

We are going to get cooked every week

Omo just saw the body cam footage of netos goal

Yeah professional football is not the way we see it

airmark:
Neto can shoot well, Jackson can't .

Shooting with how many goals


They are both below Chelsea level

airmark:


Jackson no dey Chelsea again?

Him and Jackson no difference actually

Two nonsense players

Una really expect the team to magically change and begin play like psg overnight



Una really get high hopes for this team sha

Gucciboy:
I don't want maresca to underestimate any team and we need a strong start.

Strong start for lafc?

Till Dem go give lavia or James serious injury


All these American plumbers wey no sabi ball

lordfalcao:
So make we sell your goal sense Neto.. 😏

Everyone know neto is trash and our worst attacker by far

Na agenda no go gree make Dem talk true

He doesn't decide games , he's not him

40 characters

lordfalcao:
he say na fabricated. 😂

But that Felix deal is the most needless deal of 2024. We [b]have no business making [/b]that deal.

Was literally needed so the Gallagher deal would go through


But it was a very useless deal tbh

BlewMahn:
Palmeiras got better as the half wore on...Estevao with a big chance missed. Alright performance from him

Didn't do much

But was voted motm anyway

Group A has to be the worst

Silentgroper:
Would African clubs feature in the CWC ??


I'd like to watch eyimba face off with Chelsea 🤣🤣🤣

Make Dem use Chelsea shine small

Al ahly an African club played yesterday

AirBere:

See competition with over the hill Messi, Busquet, Ostari(38). Trezequet that couldn't cut it at Villa was moving like prime Neymar some hours ago.

Yesterday the manager of Auckland City(New Zealand) complained that some of the players couldn't travel because they have other commitments meaning they have other jobs. Some see football like side hustle in that country but they'll be playing Bayern today lol. I'll be surprised if they don't concede more than 7 with zero corners today. Part time footballers Vs Bayern Munich. Hmmm

There's no way you can compare this competition with the UEFA champions league. They're not mates.

What is worse is they are playing it in a non footballing nation


The good thing is , it happens every four years so it's definitely going to improve overtime

StarchAndBanga:
Android17 have some shame. This time last year it was Foden u used to compare with Palmer. Since ur man 007 served u premium L you've switched to Yamal..

Palmer is HIM, no amount of shalaye from you would change that

This here is the reason I stopped engaging him on that convo

Kilishihunter:
What was he talking about when he was getting dragged with the youngest to lose this or that last season? Or should I talk about those jobless morons and their many supporters that tried to fabricate the lie he falsified his age last season with an edited version of his birth certificate before they were fact checked? Ansu fati 2.0 or I'm a patient hater also began last season too
Messi that doesn't talk got trolled and hate watched every season, Pedri too so all these ones are excuses to hide their main motives whichever one it is

He should chill out

Every footballer on earth gets dragged , even the GOAT messi

Yamal is talking too much and that's a fact

Giving too much vini vibe

Kilishihunter:
That's not the center of our discourse chief
You were insinuating yamal's contribution isn't all that from your argument with Android with his meagre 9 goals and I simply told you he also contributed with 13 assists the highest in the league before you switched it to he's playing with lewa and Raphinha as if they scored in every match, the next top playmaker was Raphinha with 10 showing you the spread, every cup we won or didn't win he had a major contribution that's why he's the one mainly getting dragged through the streets after Spain's loss to Portugal last Sunday

Don't spin this

He is being dragged because he failed to keep his mouth shut

Maimakawa1:
Bro there's no player like Palmer in Man City currently, whether you agree or not and any right thinking person knows that Palmer will achieve a lot if to say He's currently in Liverpool or City team.
So forget about your agenda for Palmer, because if you noticed Palmer is becoming more and more frustrated in Chelsea matches because of the wasteful forwards they have

I have heard you sir

We are making excuses for palmer as he doesn't deicide games
And Oscar bobb is better than plalmer


Allow me rest

Absolutely no mention of foden


See the way he dey hold on to lamine yamal , who everyone knows has been world class this season



Ask him where foden was when real Madrid raped them he will keep mute

LOL

Singapore1:
Android na City fan. no una wey dey entertain his ridiculous take

he will do anything to discredit chelsea player

I see it to he honest
I told him that would be the last time I'd reply him
Claiming Oscar Bobb has a highly ceiling than palmer


Absolutely ridiculous

VicThory:
They get[b] some teams[/b] wey nothing concern with Europa talk about Conference league. This is not something to brag about

I see some London teams but I'm still searching for the Elephant on the tree

Kindly list those teams abeg

Una dey try undermine Chelsea achievement

But when top teams like Liverpool, Barcelona arsenal and co dropped to the Europa league they failed to win it

nateevs:
Anyone can isolate any arguments, leave out context and appear to be on to something.

Context is checking to see if Yamal will be as effective playing alongside Sancho, Neto, Madueke and Jackson, then a discussion can be had.

Palmer that was playing under a very poor Poch in his very first flight in the PL, and was literally Mr Chelsea.

I agree with you 100%

i was just trying to point out some factors

In all of this I blame, maresca , Jackson and our useless wingers

Imagine the disrespect

Android17:
if he could decide it against Betis [b]he should've done so before. [/b]You're making excuses. That's the difference. Lamine didn't want an excuse. The greatest players don't because they believe in this principle and I also live by it

"If it is to be/ it is up to me"

It is a 10 word sentence made of words made by 2 letters. That's my mantra. It has helped me in life.

So palmer has not decided multiple games before??

Alright sir this is the end of our conversation.

Android17:
A child will crawl before they run. Lamine was crawling under Xavi. He is now running. Messi was not always the best player ever. He had to grow. If Palmer is that guy, he would still be at City but he is growing so we need to see that change.

Winning mentality is beyond a coach. If it was, Foden wouldn't have been EPL POTY last season. KdB and Haaland got hurt and all of you on this thread said Arsenal will win the league. They didn't because Foden said NO and started deciding games.

I respectfully disagree sir

There's a difference between lamine under xavi and under a competent Coach

He didn't decide games under xavi, he went to the euros under a competent coach and started deciding games. Bagging the most assist in the competition

Palmer should stay at city and waste away just like Oscar bobb right ( who you claimed have a higher ceiling because he scored a single goal)

Put palmer under a competent manager then we will have a conversation


This is someone that decided a final for your team by the way

Android17:
It wasn't even a Palmer vs Lamine discussion in terms of talent. It was in terms of winning mentality. I was implying Palmer can and should be willing his team to win even without being the top scorer and I used the Conference league final to give an example of a moment where he did it.

Where was lamine yamal winning mentality under xavi sir?


Or when he scored in 2 finals for your club he didn't have winning mentality?


Person dey play under 2 mediocre coaches you say he no get winning mentality

Android17:
Nah. I'm even surprised you fell for it. The conversation was about Palmer and his lack of winning mentality as CFC's best player vs someone like Lamine who took it upon himself to decide critical games for Barca like KdB, Zidane, Salah etc did for their respective teams at similar moments. KdB didn't need to be top scorer for City to decide that Newcastle game in 23-24, where City were down 1-2 at St. James' park and needed to win to mount pressure on AFC. He came on, equalized from nothing, and then assisted Oscar Bobb to win the game.

That dumb illogical guy was trying to define Lamine's impact by his number of goals. I was trying to show reasonable people why that just makes zero sense.

Someone that carried a mediocre team from 12th position

Same person that decided the conference league final with 2 assist


Na the clowns in charge of Chelsea wey no buy proper attackers I blame sha

raumdeuter:
Gravenberch moved to an EPL team coached by Slot

Konate moved to an EPL team coached by Klopp

Aubameyang moved to an EPL team coached by Emery

Son Heung Min moved to an EPL club coached by Pochetinno

Kdb moved to an EPL club coached by Pellegrini

All were succesful

30% success rate

Compared to the 70% flop rate

airmark:
It's not possible to lose what you don't have.

Replace Lewandowskii and Raphinha with Jakujaku Jackson and Neto, tell me where the 45 goals from the duo would have come from to help Lamine win the league?

You type a lot of nonsense as usual.

Agenda don make you disown your pikin😁😁

popizaino:
Best attacking midfielder in the world versus M.Gusto.

Na, so kai Havertz starts. Make i no talk anything.

Lower your mike comrade


I can not be move by a Bundesliga player moving to a team that isn't coached by pep

We will be there next season

Aushtwirtz una

Capaldi:
Has Palmer ever gotten 15 assists?

Has Palmer ever scored 15league goals without penalties?

Has Palmer ever been a key player for a title winning team that went unbeaten in a league season?

Has Palmer ever won outright player of the year in any league?

When it comes to talent, Palmer is not on the same level as Wirtz. Palmer is good, Wirtz is top class.

Na Liverpool player make you throw our Starboy under this bus like this

What happened to rivalry 😤



We will be there next season Sha

He must outperform palmers numbers

Capaldi:
Liverpool got the best attacking midfielder in the world for just 20milllion more than Chelsea and Arsenal spent on Declan rice and Enzo. What a steal, if Liverpool add a striker then they are capable of back to back. We are getting left behind chasing underage prospects.

We have the best attacking midfielder in the world

And we didn't have to break the bank for him

Price tag doesn't always equal talent
