hensben:
Pogba is Dele Alli with skills. They re not known for controlling midfield but running into dangerous area to score goals as a midfielder. Poch know this reason he is playing Alli behind Kane instead of beside Dier or Winks. One of Mou down fall was to be playing pogba beside matic instead of behind Lukaku and two his tactics is outdated. No player of this days want to be chasing the ball for 90 minutes defending 1 goal up.

Hazard is Zaha in Chelsea

Leyqute:
What did he say?

Here

"You can't say they are stronger now to in the past. It doesn't matter the manager during the week - they can win the matches."

​Gomes talked up the impact Mourinho has had on his countrymen but insisted he would not seek his advice on how to beat United.

He added: "He's a great coach, it's very difficult to achieve what he did. I don't know what happened [at United]. I respect him and, for Portuguese coaches, it's important everything he achieved, but Manchester United decided differently.

Vanguard quoted happeningnownews.com lol
They couldn't do their investigation?

See that stupid Reading coach talking nonsense. We need to show them the difference

You should threaten the school with court action. Get a lawyer to draft a letter to the school

I just knew nothing could stop City from winning. They were very desperate for the win

My money is on City. They will win this match

TeeBabss:
Bosses

Even world cup winner follow for flop of the year?

ChristineC:
that guy with his head really looking like jonjo is a dingbat. he always attempt career-threatening tackles against Man United players. little wonder he can no longer even make the first eleven for a team like Newcastle.

Lana1:
This is why a team shouldn't revolve around one player. When one of the star men is having an off day, others should be able to step up.

Na why i dey pray make person help me give Hazard FC one small 3 weeks make he use am hold body this new year

Hehe you wan kill them be that. Na to close stamford bridge till the dancer come back

larride:
The problem is that Jorginho is not creative enough.

I don't think he's not. He will be more creative if his first thought is not to give a wrong pass

elampiro:
Linderlof actually won 1 tackle. Who composed this kind of stat.

He did very well though, but again he was moved to RCB after a very poor outing in LCB last weekend.

Even Jones that they said did not play well, also won 1 tackle.
Linderlof 0 interception. Jones 2 interceptions won. I actually saw those two times he intercepted after Shaw had been displaced. But I don't know if people do not watch ball as I do. Jones still had the highest pass accuracy in the game apart from Lingard who had 100%

Lindelof is the best ball playing centre back, that is not disputable. But at the moment he is now where near our best centre back if everyone is playing at their best with fitness.

so you're counting pass accuracy for someone that had just two passes?

I felt Pogba was off last night and the stats confirmed it. I guess Jonjo and some more players were placed on him through out, because he not only had low amount of passes but even with that his pass accuracy was just too low compared to his midfield partners. Glad others could step up

elampiro:
I tire for them o. The truth is, with scores at 0-0, we looked more vulnerable on Luke Shaw side. It was like a matter of time before one of the run behind him got well utilized. Most of the crosses from the right were stamped against Valencia's body in only his first game.

Now this is not true. Atsu or what is name was having fun in that side.

By the way I'm not impressed at how Newcastle had a lot of shots even with limited time on the ball. They caused a couple of problems, too much for a team that was dominated

elampiro:
I am talking on the options we have and their current form, consistency and game maturity.

Yeah and I don't think most supporters would argue about that but if we're to get back to being a force, we will need to do better

dubylhover:
Yea..you're right tho... But is it only me but I still demand more maturity from rash,his decision making is still suspect,he often runs into traps and should know when to pass when on the ball,I hope ogs works on him well...we need to win spurs to send a strong message

Yeah Rash has a lot to learn. I believe OGS knows this and his working on it. He finished that goal calmly yesterday, but he has been known to rush it recently. So that's an improvement.

We need that Spurs win and we will get it, fvck spurs

afrodoc2:
All valid points, fellow Bluuus.

1) Recall Baba Rahman from his loan to replace the inconsistent Alonso.

2) Recall Bakayoko and Lewis Baker from their loan to play double pivot.

3) Sell Kante, he does not fit Sarriball. Sell Jorginho, he is a defensive liability.

4) Sell Hazard, he does not want to be here anyway.

5) Recall Miazga and Omeruo from their loan to play as ball playing CBs to replace the error prone Luiz and Rudiga.

6) Finally play Willian in his natural position as a fake 9.....erm false 9 rather.

My 2 cents.

UP BLOUSE!

For life

odizeey:
these ones are fake fans. See how man utd gave mourinho 2 and half years and he got them trophies. Why can't we Chelsea fans be patient.
Up Chelsea.

well we can always get Mou back immediately. I'm sure he'll be glad to be back. he has some point to prove

Elampiro, about Lingard, he's better than the options we currently have, especially Mata. But what about outside the club? Are there better options or he's irreplaceable?

dubylhover:
But but he played with shaw who is very attacking na...I'm beginning to doubt shaw seriousness oo..he has been just there in our last 2-3 games or so...do we need another serious lb?

Nah I think Shaw is good. The two just need to work more with each other. Another thing is that I don't think Shaw has faith in Martial defensive drive. If Shaw is caught higher up the pitch than Martial, does he trust Martial to hunt down and cover for him in case there's a counter? I don't think Martial can do that often. For this to work, the attack has to be perfect, no one should lose the ball carelessly. Now this is where the job is. The whole team still need to work more on this. Those careless passes should be cut to the barest minimum. Most of our attacks should either end in goal kick, corner kick, throw in or goal, so that our fb can get back in place

I think Martial needs his fb to support him in attack. While he's trying to get the ball in field, he should have someone distracting the defenders by running down the line. Most of his options yesterday was to bass the ball backwards

Didn't see the first half but could confidently stream the second. If na Mou I won't even bother

Hopefully, one of these days, we'll get to see our fb high behind enemy lines, pulling crosses into the box or playing one two with wingers. For now, nothing special with what they're doing. Probably not fit enough to rub the length of that field or coach asked not to because the defenders and CM left behind are not trusted enough to cut out attack should there be a break

BikeMan:
90 mins of passing around and losing the ball unnecessarily. Bin this smoker mhen. YES!!

Do you still maintain your stand that he has zero tactical knowledge?

kodded:
na the same small team draw with una

That was Mourinho's team

As it stands, Matic Pogba Herrera trio can't be replaced in that team. I'm even scared to think of what an injury to just one of them might do

slimghost:
Things I learned from this game.

1. We must bin Valencia. Dude is done.
2. We need a quality CB to partner Lindelof
3. Lindelof is easily our best CB
4. Mata should be sent to the bin if the right wing is his preferred spot.
5. Marcus should remain our first choice Striker.
6. Herrera and Matic are both important to this team.

Gbam

Well they all have to be tested so we know those to bin. Mata just prefer the simple life. Give me I give you, no daring moves, no trying the extraordinary except once in a while

Yes. "Liverpool fans are calm on social media"

Both u and Welbeast no get any atom of sense for head.

I think agree with this guy sef. WTF is Viera

afrodoc2:
I go like see Zaha and Pius combo. Dey go dey do take ons competition.

Pius will be frustrated out. For the first time, he will play in a team where he is the second best player

patrickmuf:
My concern, when he plays in a team that keeps the ball often, what then happens? Another Kante situation?

Exactly! Though I heard he can shoot and run but in how assured is he in possession, that's the main thing

To be honest, I have been enjoying watching Matic on the ball. He is always looking to pick a forward pass, especially the harder ones. Has an eye for through passes. We need somebody like that as the holding MF. I like Ndidi without the ball, up and about. But what happens when we're in possession which we expect to be more than our opponents? I need to watch more of him to see if it's those backward, side way passes he attempts at Leicester.
