[quote author=B.O.S.S. link=topic=210299.msg3258167#msg3258167 date=1229982540]I'm not sure if Nigerians are not prepared to welcome a true reformer but understanding the fact that Nigerians have been dissappointed times without number, then you'll understand where they are coming from if someone with good intentions come their way.

I think someone from a different community (or probably even another country) and who has been tested would rather be trusted as compared to a full blooded Nigerian.[/quote]We will get there but there is a lot of sense in what the previous poster said. Well said B.O.S.S but the person must be ready for a hard fight.

Yoruba, oh Yoruba, what a language. I'm loving it.
But about this Benin stuff?

I cannot but concure, Mikel should take thing into his hands and go forward and spray those defence splitting passes we say at Holland 05.

I think what JM saw was that Mikel can hold on to the ball and na war to pry it away from him, and this prompted JM to post him to DM.

If I were Mikel, had take the odds and go ALL OUT. Once the manager sees this, bang, deco can go and rest.

I know lalaboi and nateevs may not agree with me, but I tell you, had we gone with 2 men up. Chelsea would have nicked 3 points. because looking at it, we played 10 men and had a draw. we were supposed to win yesterday. for me ooo

                 Cech
Bosingwa Carvalho Terry Cole
Essien Mikel Lampard Cole
          Drogba Anelka

Drogs is not what he used to be, falling down but he still got it. He came in, and at least we were winning freekicks in the opponents half. something that never happened during the first half. You could also see him defending, clearing ball in the Chelsea's box 18. haba can't you guys see.

They played 6 men midfield, but shege, what are long balls for. All it would have been needed was to throw the passes at Drog and we all know he has excellent flick ons (both head and leg) and that would split any defence or midfield. Anelka would be there to do the necessary tap ins.

Personally, I'd like to see Mikel go up front. He is young and got the energy. I'm a JM man but why the heck did he convert him to a DM. That is not his role. Yes he can hold balls and rarely loose it, but he should be doing that in the opponents half and not Chelseas'. maybe I know sabi football, but I certainly don't like what I'm seeing.

Moonstone:
Let me not talk yet . . . I need to rejoice.
Where's lala, Omo Ibo and FBS?

@moonstone, I dey, and yes you can rejoice but it aint over yet until it is over. As long as the sky still remains blue, CHELSEA will succeed.

presido1:
cap down for man United for beating LQ with 10.

pls refresh my memory, for how long did manure play with 10 men?

Cristalz:
So Chelsea had to grease the palms of a linesman to save them from Everton

Another draw. Lovely.

see you! stop hating pls

we tried no doubt, kudos to the boys and manager

goodnight ppl, a draw is not bad, chelsea chelsea chelsea!!!!

@nateevshow do you hope to push them back?
oh my yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
was pieenar offside before kicking cech?

cech, winch!!!

pulled a string maybe,

nateevs, can we discuss this after this game, becos right now kaai, I dey feel one kind, abeg,
but again, are we not a man less now? why not take the game to the opposition?

LPS on the double, common CHELSEA!!!!
thats a freaking hand ball, where was the ref? kai, oh, FA!!

lalaboi, nateevs, you guys didnt see what I saw, now there is no way Drog and Nico can play up front,
you guys have forgotten that even when needed, Drog plays defence, but now what do we have, nothing.
Drog is a fighter and had he started the defence and midfield of everton go don tire because there is an extra deadly man to mark.

for me oh, lamps, deco and ballack had no buziness together on that field,
shait, everton don't even have a striker and we are struggling?

dont mind the referee, he has a betting slip in his pocket!

I fear for the ref oo, hmmm,
lailai boy, can you see what I mean, had we gone 2 strikers up, terry wouldnt have even needed to come and make a challenge in the middle, no be this same formula we use against WH and it didnt work?

what is it with refs nowadays, that aint no red by any means, kai, a yellow + warning at most.
mikel to defence, wonders shall never end,
common Chelsea show your character!!!

yes it was dangerous, but man, kai, ohhhh

what is it with refs nowadays, same for ade yesterday, you can say I no shait about football, but a RED?

shey you see where anelka come collect ball, ? at the center circle,

agreed but we can always create a hole because one of the strikers will drag them away, i don't know if you understand what I mean? since we don't have 2 joe coles in the teams.

better play, now I can go and pee

I hear but kai, we need 2 strikers up front, that is the only way to keep Everton at bay.

I dont like wat I'm seeing, are these guys nervous?

chelsea chelsea chelsea, blue is the color!!!

lalaboi:
yea cheap one, what about work permits?

u play too much football manager abi! lol

hhahaha, manucho no get work permit through wuru wuru ( yeah he was sent to some funky club in greece) ? but anyways, the best and I have said this earlier is to get a home grown from the little boys playing. we just need someone to ruffle some feathers on the wings, thats all.

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=196587.msg3257486#msg3257486 date=1229973276]The funniest thing is i predicted this situation 2 YEARS ago when JM was still @ Chelsea.
It seems your days in the SUN are over.
Roman lost large amount of money to the credit crunch and Chelsea FC on it's own is not raking enough revenue to ease Roman's burden.
Perilious time ahead.

I see Everton taking all the THREE POINTS.
If Saha, Cahill and Arteta starts, Chelsea would stutter.[/quote]cash issue has nothing to do with tonites match. i know you peeps are hating on us, but no worries, we got it locked GBAM!

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=196587.msg3257438#msg3257438 date=1229972551]Cash is the issue here not players(materials)!!![/quote]na him I talk na, cash issue? but if roman and LPS carry head go brazil, I tell you they will find a blazzing winger for cheap. Then by the time he (or she  ) plays 2 seasons, they can increase the price. i.e if he decides to leave. no yawa.thats how its always happen.
I repeat again, we need a winger and more importantly, an element of surprise.
I'm just hoping we win tonight.

we must qualify. AMEN!

well said, ibime. Chelsea needs a winger on both flanks that can beat defenders with his eyes closed. That was what JM used Joe Cole for and he got the best out of him. Now Joe Cole is a certain starter for england.

Afellay is good but has not been very consistent in my opinion. Abeg make them go to brazil or portugal go buy (this will be cheaper) a crazy winger who doesnt give shait about the hype of EPL but can at the same time deliver. It a gamble but sometimes pay off. na football.

the secrets of JM success was that no one really knew his style (or rather they didnt pay any attention to him) but when other EPL managers started hearing when, they begin to shiver, by the time they know was up, 2 title don land for ground.

The element of a positive surprise is what will give us the title this season. as of now, I can't see any.

Benzema will be great, but kaka? well if he will be committed, why not. but isn't Benzy cup tied?
