I also feel the comment by Guinean player, Encade was just a stunt.

He says they dont like the pitch but that is where they hosted their WCQs games. They are clearly used to that potato farm.

Sadly true.

joelsteron:
Benjamin Frederick has business in this match. Ajayi ooooo

Telll Eric Chelle to ditch that diamond. Abeg

So, na Ajayi caused the 2 goals, abi? Most if you have another intention.

joelsteron:
Observations

1. George actually shouted for lookman to leave that ball. Anyone who knows look man won't argue this.

2. Moses Usor goal exposes super eagles disjointed and lack of unity as a team. Damn, a debutant was all alone for couples of minutes and no support insight.

Were they tired, was it big boysness, or lets see whats he's gonna do? or don't they like him?

3. Akor Adams is at risks of losing his spot cos Chelle I know will definitely pair Moses Usor and Osimhen. I can bet this.

Is Akor Adams the direct replacement for Moses Usor? Is it not Chukwueze?

How dat take concern Akor?

andrewbaba44:
Please he is not

Stop misusing that word ,na so we hear say harvetz na generational talent too

If dem never arrest one Chelsea fan for this thread ,the rest no go calm down

He is actually a very good player. He is being underatted in Chelsea.

TheSuperNerd:
Mubarak Suleiman - from the moment I watched him vs Arsenal and the likes in the Uefa Youth League, I knew another solid Naija talent has emerged.

A strong addition to the U23s.

The Other Slavia lads are all very solid ballers: Ayaosi, Moses, Isife.

There is also Izuchukwu Okonkwo.

He is talented. No doubt.

rooftops:
Bring them in gradually when the team is playing well not starting all at the same time

I concur.

See as 4 players enter change game. The 2 midfielders we missed should have added something.

Man city deliberately bidded for Enzo just few hours to deadline.

I trust club like Atalanta. Dem no go sell.

rooftops:
There shouldn't be anything like team B because most times the team B is always packed with unmotivated, unfit players. Playing all together is a recipe for failure.

I agree with you. It will not help those players. They need to be integrated into the main team as part of main team else they wont be motivated.

popizaino:
The issue is when the deeds of your sentiment begin to affect the team,it will not discriminate. It is all of us that we suffer it. Na make estevao commot make una mind come down.

Watson got ball in the midfield,no Leeds united player on his back but still took the ball backwards while we were are still trailing.

A little effort to try and pass to estevao or welbeck who will get the much needed space and time to wreck havoc on the few men at Leeds back but you were all blind to it.

Estevao is more dangerous in the box. He is better than Neto. I no go lie but him self needs to be a team player and play according to tactics.

nateevs:
Very light weight midfield.

Na wetin BlueCo wan take win league bi dis.

Very obvious the midfield is dead.

TheSuperNerd:
George Ilenikhena has confirmed 100% his Nigerian Super Eagles Switch/Allegiance via his instagram acct. It is done! He is likely in the next list.

Coach Eric Chelle himself liked the post.

He's home.

Oh! I am in support we cap tie him. He is still young.

omoredia:
The question you should ask is can more price be paid for fuel while demand increase? Dangote want to gain on the refinery so expect a price drop cos he will sell-off after the IPO

Whether he sells or not, the value would appreciate.

But I don't think he wants to sell because he wants to increase the capacity of the refinery. Are you aware?

omoredia:
Based on the general economic outlook. If the Iran war stops expect a massive crash. Dangote wants to save himself

Will value of fuel crash anytime soon?

kachistone:
I just wish I knew when MTN sold theirs. I could have bought it. But people are saying this Dangote IPO is over valued.

Almost all household needs fuel to survive. Nothing like overpriced.

Except we no longer buy fuel dem value go drop.

I remembered Otedola invested over 1b in that Geregu power and recouped trillions.

Why? Electricity na needs like fuel.

TheChameleon:
Dangote has been calling me nonstop on Whatsapp video call to beg me to invest.

I might just send $10 million to support his IPO

The ONLY condition, Peter Obi must be Nigeria's President.

Dangote hissed and said " Impossicsnt" .. he hasn't called back since then

Those one na scam. Don't fall for it. They use South Africa lady's voice and other foreign voices to deceive the gullible.

They say pay first before they explain. Dem bi thief.

BlueRayDick:
It seems some of you just watch Chelsea matches and don't understand the rules of the game your team is competing in.

Whether it's arsenal or Charlton Athletic, VAR will not interfer in that particular incident because it is outside the purview of VAR

The rule simply says : "VAR will not review, for example, fouls or handballs in the middle of the pitch when there is no goal or penalty decision.".

How difficult is that to understand for you?

This place used to be filled with people knowledgeable about this sports na.... What happened?

Can you explain how Caicedo received red card last season?

Did VAR check or not? Where did the soul occur?

Don't assume the refeere didn't see it. Abi em tell you say em no see am?

Kikelomogbenga:
I respect Arsenal fans, it's not easy to be that loyal after all those years of suffering and banter. They should enjoy their moment unlike most Chelsea fans that are glory hunters. Few years from now they will all run to support Barca, Madrid or United.

Chelsea fan support Barca, United......krikrikribuhahahabuhabuha! This is hilarious.

The worst case scenario is to comot mind for game and not even watching EPL.

I don't really understand. Which law? That thing has to be amended to allow only private individuals or organization to own a football club in Nigeria.

popizaino:
I am not buying these cheap excuses at all.

We could have signed Osimhen and he would have also gone the way of Enzo Fernandez.

Where is the Mudryk we broke the bank to sign?

Didn't we strengthen with Lukaku and Kai Havertz after ucl? Where are they now?

Arsenal signed Eze but someone who came cheaper than him is starting ahead of him.

Na only shame never make Liverpool axe Writz commot for first xi.

Expensive signings or wage structure of the team has no baring on the fact that Reece James is being ask to come and play in the midfield when you have Barco in the team.

Our problem has always been coaches and nothing else.

For Chelsea,It is the fundamentals that is wrong. Coaches don't identify our strengths and weaknesses to build on it.

Most of them come with vibes and inshallahu. When i suggested Pochettino then,it was from a place of how he carefully groomed those spurs players then like Dele Alli,Rose,Eriksen, Wanyama,Tripper, Hary Kane,Son,Dembele etc but came to Chelsea to do the exact opposite.

None of the coaches BlueCo has employed so far has tried to dare. The only person that came close to teaching us ball was Thomas Tuchel but that one was satisfied being hailed as next pep guardiola than winning like pep guardiola.

Stop mentioning overpriced averageeeeee players when we discuss world class players.

Mudryk, Havertz, and Enzo were average overpriced players. Don't mention them when we discuss world class proven players in top leagues. Apart from Lukaku, all those you mentioned were averageeeee players as at the time we bought them.

That's exactly the problem.

Real Madrid, PSG, Bayern Munich and Manchester city are top clubs because they buy proven experience world class players, not tatas at bogus prices.

The quality you buy goes along way to either improve or reduce the team.

What you are buying is quantity not quality.

See as Morgan take enter the team and added quality to the team.

The major problem with that club is the calibers of players not necessarily coaching problem. Why Maresca run leave you go Manchester City?

Because he knew he will get what he wants.

I am not saying the coaching is perfect but that's not only the major problem.

If coaching is the problem why did BlueCo agree to change the policy before Xavi accepted the offer?

popizaino:
Tbh, i don't know what you guys want blueco to do again?

To sell himself for the coaches?

He has spent, and he is still spending.

There's no transfer window were we haven't scored considerably well.

It is left for these coaches to do well and the fans to demand better from the coaches.

Na so una blame blueco last season as soon as that idiot Maresca complained of CB as if the one he had was not manageable.

Spending reasonably and unreasonably are two different things.

Blueco bought 4 average strikers in the last 2 seasons instead of buying Osimhen.

Wetin be the result? Dem don sell dem except one wey remain.

I am seeing a club that is more obsessed with buying small players for profit though that has changed a little but we need more.

However, instead of Chelsea to increase wages of a good player, they prefer to sell to gain profit. That's not stability. BlueCo must go if we don't win anything this season.

Dem must go, abeg. See as Arssnal dey mock us. Man city of yesterday self dey mock us.

Do you think Mancity would have dominated the league if Abrahamovic was here? I doubt

Chelsea still won the league under the noise of Pep when Abraham was the owner.

This Russian War and changed of ownership just weakened Chelsea.

Osimhen for don dey play for Chelsea tey tey with better established players not did tatas BlueCo dey buy and sell after dem mature.

Roland17:
Strangers to winning? Stop exposing your ignorance by veiling it with “Modern Football”!

I understand you desperately want to win Arsenal even if it is once but make no mistake about it, this is no longer a competitive fight. You’d have to beat me 5 consecutive times before I remotely consider this a fair fight. It is what it is.

Oga! Be calming down. Arsenal started beating Chelsea under BlueCo. That tells a lot.

I don talk am. We need a world class striker like Osimhen.

BlueCo must change that useless policy of not paying big players go wages.

If you don't pay well, you can't get world class players.

drisham:
He was in midfield when arsenal slapped us 3 times last season btw


Off the road jor

Under which coach?

BlueRayDick:
Rice's foul on Rogers was a normal foul that happens in the run of play. All eyes was on Palmer who had the ball and ended playing the ball over the bar. There's no world in which VAR will call the ref to check such random foul that had no element of serious foul play.

The ref did the right thing to break Rice and Rogers' scuffle up. Rogers only got yellow card for starting a fight off the ball. That decision is the correct one every day of the year for anybody wey dey watch ball and understand the rules of the game dem dey watch. You don't go about pushing another player on the chest off the ball like Rogers did and expect the ref to overlook it. It was a deserved yellow card.

Retired referees have stated their opinion about the Gabriel Vs Martinez incidents and I agree with their opinion. You may not necessarily agree with them, but I do. I think Iamoyindamola posted a screenshot of it up there.

Expectedly, that is what a typical fan will say.

Normal foul!!! so there is serious foul and advance foul but normal foul is okay when a player trips another player that is getting into a position that could lead to scoring a goal.

Stop deceiving yourself. If that thing happened in another match or league, Rice should be getting yellow card.

Chelsea needs a world class player like Osimhen. I am dam sure with him, we can win more laurels.

mine3112:
That can never be a red card.

What about the one Rice tripped Morgan behind? Was that a freekick and yellow card for Rice? Yes or No?

mine3112:
That can never be a red card.

What was it? Kunfu on the head when the keeper's two hands were already on the ball.

BlueRayDick:


Do you sincerely believe the reason Arsenal won yesterday's match was due to "bias officiating" and not because Arsenal were the better side in most aspects of the game?

But was that a red card? The kick on the face.

Rice foul on Morgan, why did the referee refuse to check VAR?

airmark:
This is untrue.

Hitting keeper's head with boot is never physicality even in the non-VAR era. Drogba, Terry and multiple Chelsea players got red cards due to being overly aggressive without VAR. Officiating in EPL is just now a tragedy even with the use of the VAR.

We lost yesterday's match due to unavailability of natural midfielders with additional support to the dark arts by Arsenal by the officials. A certain Caicedo booting a keeper's head would have been sent off. Arsenal wouldn't play like that in a UCL and evade a red card. That's never physicality but rascality.

I agree that was a straight red but referee ignored it. That's EPL for you.

Notice how Rice tripped Morgan when he tried to connect to Palmer. That is what I am talking about.

Even that last freekick, did you see what that Arsenal player did that got him yellow card? He distorted Chelsea's flow.

You don't understand. Watch Mancity and see how they will tackle you if you try to pass them.

Aggressiveness does not mean gragra but distorting the flow of the opponent.

Besides, card is part of the game. It is necessary sometimes if you know it helps to protect a lead.

For example, if I am leading a team in the finals and it remains 1 minute to end, if a player is going through to the post, it is expected the nearest player should hack him down.

BlueRayDick:
You guys have January transfer window to get any available midfielder to at least stabilize the team.

We should have done that before the transfer market not January. By that tile, things fit done fall apart.

Anyway, make we dey see.
