Make them stop Maguire from head abeg.

Like the one he defended abi

We can call any player we want and ask for one player to replace another. But I'm sure that will only lead to another set of complaints

CapitalCee:
Go and watch city game. Their players are very very good on the ball, and dont misplace passes and i think thats what pep priotises. VDB will be a very good player for sleek interplay but Ole doesnt have that kind of gameplan, his own is pass when you like and in sha Allah. Thats why he hasnt been able to find a role for VDB.

At the end of the day, it all comes down to what is being emphasized in training. Fred, Pogba and Bruno can do that but we don't see that in matches. I'll praise Pep for what I see in City first before I call any player. Same with lfc

The quality of our attacking play is unsurprisingly low. Passes either rushed or poor.

MRTA7:
I like what Neville said after the Liverpool match. The team is not far enough in their development of having a winning/championship mentality to take advantage of Liverpool's difficult moment. The team is still developing well mentally but they're not there yet.

Yea they're not there. Hopefully they get there soon

MRTA7:
Exactly, It could happen to any team really. They could also improve on last season which seems impossible or falter. No one ( Even us fans) expected us to be where we are now for a reason. And even with us being top, City and Liverpool are still favourites to finish ahead of us. Less than 2 months ago most were calling for Ole's head on a spike. ( including me). So while he's doing well and I'm very happy that he is, Liverpool would feel they have plenty of room to improve due to injuries and City know if they win their games they go top.

I don't even think we will win this league come end of season. We're still some way off. I just want us to play very well and put up dominant displays every match day. We have no business dropping points against some certain teams. If we do, it should be because we're extremely unlucky.

MRTA7:
I didnt say I believe that, I'm just explaining what the facts show.

At some point, even with a full squad, they'll struggle to break down teams. It happened to City last season. Players will lose form. I'm not under any illusion that what they achieved last season will be sustained this season

afrodoc2:
They are mutually exclusive. You can believe our squad should be doing better and still believe that Chelshit had a better transfer window than us and that they had brought in better personnel than us over the summer.

Of course Chelshit had a better transfer window. We also had better transfer window than them last year. No arguments there

MRTA7:
Its somewhere in the middle. We're top because we've improved drastically by over 10 points at this time last season but Liverpool are also nearly 20 points worse than they have been in the last 2 years at the same stage.

I'm not sure why you believe LFC will continue to sweep teams away like they did last season. I mean are they supposed to be like that forever?

GloryIsaac:
Pfft. Ok

Good thing Liverpool lost Van Dijk and Gomez to injury sha, else all these league table talk for dey gutter.

With City losing KDB for a while, and Werne Mighty keeping clean sheets.

Lfc defense have been very impressive, where they've found little joy is in their attack.

City do drop points even with KDB. I'm not sure I understand your point here. I mean we beat them home and away with KDB last season.

See ehn it's fine that you think we don't have players and these set of players are punching above their weight. I don't just agree with that, never have and never will

GloryIsaac:
This performance is simply paper over the cracks, that shouldn’t be hard to see.

Fergie faced the same issue in his final years at the club, but his tactical acumen saw him through. After he retired, the club collapsed, and still hasn’t recovered after 7 years.

The squad Fergie used to win the league was the same squad that finished 7th the next season.

The cracks still exist, we shouldn’t get carried away, and there’s really no need to debate it.

Just give credit when due, and bash equally when personal mistakes are made.

Nope I don't agree. We have Fred, Pogba, VDB, Bruno, Tom and Matic in midfield. With the right combination, this should be a solid top midfield. Rashford has been here a couple of years. His quality is not debatable. We have Greenwood coming in, which some swear is one of the best finishers in the league. Cavani has great movements and still has a lot of goals in him. Our defense including the goal keeper have some quality. This team, playing the right football and tactics should be exactly where they're now or around there. No magic has happened, the quality is proportional to the position on the table.

GloryIsaac:
It still stands. The Glazers are business men first, so don’t be deceived by the team’s current performance.

It took a miracle to get Fernandes in, clearly because the club was desperate at that point in the season. Cavani and Ighalo were both signed under similar circumstances, desperation.

If the club has to always find itself in a place of desperation before doing any deals, that tells you the kind of owners it has.

So that Ole wasn't supported isn't an issue anymore?

afrodoc2:
At the beginning of the season almost everybody here was envious of Chelshit’s transfer window and their squad and people were lambasting either Amaka or Woodward for our lacklustre transfer activity.

But now that we are near the top of the league and Lampfraud has driven Chelshit into the bush our squad is suddenly much better than theirs.

Nope not me. I've always believed in our squad. I've always believed we're underperforming and these set of players can do much better

hoopLA:
Pull ke?

Is it a payloader?

E shock you?

patrickmuf:
We have the better keeper, defense, midfield and attack but one dunce will come here to spew utter gibberish...

You know when you buy players and everyone automatically believes that those players are better than those present before

patrickmuf:
Chelsea squad is better than ours? How exactly?

Another excuse cooking up for Ole...

I don't know how one will look at both squads and claim they have a better squad

hoopLA:
Hahaha bros Ephesus.

Succumb not to the Temptations of the belly,for thou art a man of God.

Lessons learned. If you look like a shekpite, you're definitely a shekpite

hoopLA:
Double standard, flip-flopping, arse-licking, agenda bearing as well.

Everything but the real truth in here.

But but it's not Lampard fault that marina went to market with her ass instead of head. Oh I forgot, Lampards pull was a vital ingredients for all the transfers.

Lmao

BlueMann:
Crisis meeting to be held by the board today (apparently).

Don't be shocked if Lampard gets the sack.

That's not a way to treat a legend. There will be no Chelsea without Lampard

hoopLA:
Na dat fufu you dey always chop.
Repent,bros Ephesus.

Omo na pounded yam o

I can swear that na one shekpite set me up

obainojazz:

Chelsea omolomo

They feel safe in the distance

afrodoc2:
Omo i had to head out and make money. Man does not live by party alone or by shaming those who do not wear paynt, or shaming those who worship those who do not wear paynt.

On my break now and will read through all the pages. I trust that the party was ga lagaju.

The shamelessness on display here is shameful, I won't lie

So all those tantrums about not supporting Ole in the transfer window and giving him what he wants nko?

Can't believe I slept through a pandemic here. Well I'll be back for the after parte

iamJ:
ibm computer man no go like this your statement ooo

Spell ibime name properly ffs

Panther7:
Really? I didn't know that
Thanks

You're welcome g

KingAlabi:
Tre......, In the mud yet again

You mean trevor019? The one that's a clown?

Panther7:
"lower passing accuracy" sounds better

We can have successful pass rate and failed or unsuccessful pass rate.

Oasis007:



Airmark, do I need to remind you Arsenal is 2 pts behind Chelsea?

You mean assnal could end up above chelshit this week? Lmao

airmark:


Eph12 was typing in tongue.

I can't hear you from the top

Panther7:
which one be worse successful

Calm down read am slowly

Pogba had a worse successful pass rate than Bruno in that match but some trevor012 guy will be making noise here.
