Skimpledawg:
This Bellingham is a menace

Remember I called everyone out for calling him packaging. You don't captain a top team (or any team sef) as a teenager and call it packaging.

Boy is performing wonders at this early age. Amazing.

Super Portable doing his thing.

Capaldi:
All Sungballagher does is run around. His quality on the ball is practically non existent.

Actually he was good in a couple of games but oh well...it is what it is

Whatever happened to all the pre-season ginger?

imo we saw and called it early that one single counter - Brentford would be smiling and they got exactly what they wanted.

Mbuemo was balling all game and got his assist and goal. He ran the full length of the field - attacking and defending.

This group of Chelsea players seems not to understand that winning is IMPORTANT and to win, you have to shey kini? Score goals.

SMH.

And to all those pundits posting and writing nonsense on X on how we have arrived and bla bla bla...hopefully e don clear for their eyes now.

Tueh!

Khayceeofficial:
Omo make Tiago Silva do leave this team when season ends.

raumdeuter:

Egbon Nihilistjnr probably somewhere just chilling.

Khayceeofficial:
Sterling looked like someone disinterested in this game all through... We don't have a striker
Jackson should be playing Futsal. This dude is a fraud. Another £30+m in the drain

Poch don begin give players like sterling, Sanchez, too much room to relax. Now to clear de zerbi relegated that idiot to the bench for a reason

Omo, this stupid team no surprise me but the 2hrs wey I waste watch this game na him dhe piss me off pass

Me don take NBA new season dey enjoy myself. Boli, Mauricio and his boys no go come kee person.

That said, I know we will get it right eventually but gonna take some time.

Jodera:
Na why F.BS wan dey use Oraimo cord to wipe anybody neck wey dey talk xG

me I'm cool bro. We have higher xG today sef so no le le. The 0 - 2 loss apparently does not count. xG is all or nothing.

KingAzubuike:
Chelsea no be team wey dey comeback. That spirit is long gone in the club. I'm afraid this game is over. Its so painful to watch how low this club have gotten.

It's the Boli effect. Simples.

nitrogen:
Estamos aquí!

you don wake up?

30 mins to make things right.

NinjaMetahuman:
Starting to look like we need miracle to win now

A miracle + 1.

oh phew...!

Palmer really dictating game play.

team is missing that final ball. Come on Chelsea.

dangerous.....one counter and Brentford will be celebrating

Mbuemo balling well for Brentford...


But we need to make this possession count for something.

End to end stuff...Me like it.

Sterling...not sure that was the best decision..its 3 v 1 man.

amodu:
Duo of Enzo and Mudryk not in matchday squad.

We understand Enzo's absence.

What happened to Mudryk?

It has to be something serious, because according to most of the pundits (no, not our esteemed resident pundits ) they said Mudryk has turned a corner.

It has to be something serious.

popizaino:
Unpopular opinion:

The reason why Chelsea project failed with our previous coaches was because of that good for nothing player called Kai Havertz.

oh really?
haba Popi.

Turnovers and turnovers. New theme of the season?

Interesting to see the amount of turnovers from all the teams from last season.

The opening games have been nothing but exciting.

Grizzlies tried and with Marcus Smart coming into the fold and showing some leadership and defensive (even though it felt as though Nuggets were just toying with them) they might be able to ride out the storm.

Rockets could have probably won the game against Spurs until Victor Wembanyama happened taking it to OT and yep, they (Spurs) did not look back from there.

Dee. Fox having a good game for the Kings so far against Warriors but still early days.

All close call games really and some with the inaugural NBA Cup coming up in November, it's SHOWTIME!

Waiting for the Nuggets game....wanna see who go first beat them. They look very solid at the moment.

EyeCumInPiece:
Dey play.

Apt.

Early days but seems Ange is doing something right.

Time for Mauricio to kick start his Chelsea career.

El Shaarawy is one intelligent player....his assist for Lukaku's goal in the EL highlights that fact. He placed the ball exactly where Lukaku would have expected it, on a plate so to speak.

Good on him.

The refs though...how can you have 2/3 people watching one single ball and they mostly miss the obvious fouls and then when challenged call it marginal? Like

You couldn’t avoid the Wemby hype even if you tried.

If you watched an earlier game on opening night, you saw a countdown to the Wemby debut in the corner of your screen. And if you watched the Wemby debut, you saw him sitting on the bench in foul trouble with his stat line still attached to the scoreboard.

It’s inevitable.

But no matter how bright the light shining on Wemby gets, we can’t let it dim the journeys of others.

Last night, another 7-footer made his debut on that same court. He outscored, out-rebounded and outplayed Wembanyama.

His name is Dereck Lively II, and his story is even crazier. Because while Wemby was driven by the hype, Lively was driven by the pain.

12 years ago, Wembanyama was just getting discovered in Paris. He was covering over 30 feet of distance with two dribbles and two steps at just 8 years old.

That same year, Lively’s life took a very different turn.

“I went to the edge of the stairs and peered down. I see my father black and blue, lifeless on the floor. My mom was over him with her phone in her hand screaming for help to 911. It was too late. He had overdosed on heroin. You never get over it. Whenever you go in the living room, you feel it. The spot where he was on the floor was darker and the rug was a little flatter.”

Dereck carried his father’s heavy name on his back all the way to the NBA. And as tragic as his story is, it prepared him for anything.

Last night, Lively came off the bench to play with Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. By halftime, Head Coach Jason Kidd made him the starter. And by the end of the game, it was clear the Mavs found something special.

🔹 16 points
🔹 10 rebounds
🔹 7-8 FG
🔹 1 block
🔹 1 steal
🔹 The W

Lively’s career high at Duke was 13 points. Took him one game to break that number in the NBA.

Dallas needed a big man who can protect the rim and be that lob threat. Now they have one.

But for Dereck Lively II, he just needed an opportunity.

And now he has it…🤷🏽‍♂️

Story for the gods.
Boy just started his career with just 1 game into the regular season but hate don already start? Why? Just 1 game in, 1 freaking game.
Is it his fault that the media is hyping him? Does he look like a lazy player to you?
Lively had a great game no doubt but let Wembayama be and enjoy the game.

Thank goodness for Basketball, I just dey use am cool temper on CL days.

Boli you do this one.

And Damian Lillard to Bucks looks like one good piece of business. Man was electric in his first game.
