i just like the fact that even if they win everything else, the best they can claim is a double.

No FA Cup no quadruple.

No FA Cup no treble.

God bless Will Grigg again

for me, the only thing that is sure for them is the league and 50% the league Cup.

For ucl, even if it is us that they meet, they will still go home.

If I see this man today, I will still kill him.

He is one of those fantasisers about the beautiful game and wanted to do his bit to support "beautiful football" that night against the anti-football Chelsea.

Barcelona only had one shot on target that night.

Lol. The other day, I watched the highlight and it was painful.

Nihilist:
mehn God bless will grigg.

killing dreams of a quadruple and treble with one shot!

are you serious? Don't tell me you ever thought that man City will get the quadruple?

They are not even sure of the carabao cup self. Don't be surprised to see fa using the cup to bid arsene goodbye, the way they used the fa cup to secure his job for him last year.

How much he collect?

go ask am

This man can never say that he didn't see that eto handball. It is not possible.

He collected money.

Ibime:
Please I see you putting Barkley and Fab4 as CAM in your team and leaving out Willian. Have you forgotten WillyWilly is a CAM by trade?

yeah. I forgot that. If he can mark hard and the passes to the attack quickly, he will be the best for the position.

For those calling for four at the back, know that it has been almost a year since we started a match with that formation. Testing it again against Barca is not a good idea. Remember that it was easy for us to change to back three last season because we had enough time to train on it before games. Even, if you check the match against hull city (first match it was used to start) you will see that the flow was not there and the match was just won due to our superior talent and fear factor.

Another formation i may go with is 3-4-1-2 with hazard and Morata upfront and Barkley behind them. Dd and kante pairing and Barkley the link between attack and midfielder. Barkley helping in marking and releasing to hazard or morata once he has the ball.

Ibime:
My formation against Barca is 4-4-1 with Azpi as the 11th man with a brief to follow Messi anywhere he goes:

____________________Courtois

Moses____Christensen_____Rudiger______Alonso


Willian_______Kante_______Drinkwater_____Hazard


____________________Morata


Azpi as spare man to follow Messi everywhere.

We have no chance, but this is the best I can think of.

to be frank, i prefer the 3-5-1-1

--------azpi--------------Christensen-----------cahill------------


Moses----drinkwater---fab---kante------------zappacosta

This system worked for us against Liverpool, Manchester United, City and Atm. It can work for us against Barca. No need to man mark Messi. All the players should just come back and defend and all should attack when out of possession and in possession respectively.
I can't trust alonso against Barca and I think conte shares that sentiments. It can be sensed from his changes in the second leg against ATM.
Zappa did a great job that day. I loved the way he was dribbling and cutting in to shoot. Such attacking threat from defence is needed against Barca.

"However, while people say Conte could have managed that situation better, Costa caused a lot of problems and it will have been difficult for the manager to forget about him not wanting to play in a title run-in. If you're in Conte's position, you're not going to accept that. It's then up to you to replace him with quality.

We had 20 shots at the Bridge, of which eight were on target and three found the net. Only one of West Brom’s eight attempts tested Thibaut Courtois .
On his full debut Olivier Giroud had a game-high six efforts. The goalscorers Eden Hazard and Victor Moses had three and four respectively.
Hazard was influential throughout. He made five key passes, the most of anyone, and completed five successful dribbles, a joint game-high figure alongside Pedro . The Spaniard was also the game’s top tackler, winning the ball on five occasions, and he contributed three key passes, too.
Our central midfield partnership of Fabregas and
N’Golo Kante won four tackles apiece.
Overall we enjoyed a 57 per cent share of possession, and we had an 83 per cent pass completion rate, amounting to 487 successful passes out of 585 attempted.
Our top passer was Cesc Fabregas with 89, and he was joined in the top five by Antonio Rudiger (53),
Cesar Azpilicueta (52) and Hazard (also 52).
When it came to clearances, Rudiger and Andreas Christensen made the most with six each, and Giroud, Azpilicueta and Rudiger all won four aerials each, the most of anyone in blue.
We have now kept seven clean sheets in our last nine league games at Stamford Bridge.

PSG's squad is the second most expensive in world football according to the CIES Football Observatory (behind Manchester City) and includes the world's most expensive player, £200m forward Neymar.

The investments of the English clubs over the years seems to be paying off now. Unfortunately, Chelsea is declining. Pity.

Mbappe still making decisions like the kid he is.

This kind of open match is where you see the wonders of hazard.

Neymar teammates let him down, but i blame him for not taking the shots when he had the chance to, instead he was passing. That is what you get when messi and suarez are not your teammates.

Why can't chelsea have a marcelo? Even if that player will cost hundred million. E no concern me, sign him.

Chelsea better not do like PSG, that will score first and can't continue doing the scoring.

Chelsea needed their leading light to produce the goods to bring their losing streak to an end, and the Belgium international didn't disappoint. Hazard's goals have dug Chelsea out of many a hole before, and his continued ruthlessness was the difference at Stamford Bridge once more. Hazard has now scored with six of his last eight shots on target in the Premier League.

Do you sell processor?

Burrr our darling Belgian is also using ucl as an excuse bros......

he must ansa questions in an interview nah. Abi you want make em no talk something?

Eden Hazard believes Chelsea's problems this season are partly due to the team having to spread their energies over several competitions, with the Champions League particularly taking its toll on the Blues

Hazard citing extra games as a reason for Conte's side finding life harder this term. "I think the Premier League is difficult," the player told ESPN FC. "It's hard to win every year. Last year we didn't have the Champions League. This year we have less time to be ready for the games. Every week there are three game

trash! In 2015 that we won the league weren't we playing in the UCL?

diggz:
Why shouldn't you? If you are capable of creating an entire new rule/rules for how we grade players and leagues from that of fifa and uefa, why can't you do something as simple as completing your own requirements? Why must you depend on people's sense to help you make your asinine logics whole?

lol. Oga pity for am. Take it easy on him.

airmark:
I always enjoy reading fans' comments whenever these players post. See advice for morata below.

No joy

eph12:
Was it Emenalo that asked Conte to send Costa sack letter?

No be costa dey Chelsea the time we finish for 10th? The club and team dey get fundamental problem, una dey here dey disturb person with costa. Costa my foot.

raumdeuter:
From places you cannot reach

lol. I pray never to reach there.

BlueAngel444:
Why don't you have confidence in him

i have listed those already. You can go back to check.

raumdeuter:
That's what association with airmark causes.
Among defenders, Rudiger will be one of the fastest and definitely faster than Christensen that you have faith in.

If there's something to knock Rudiger of, it's definitely not speed

then from whose association did you get amala turning, goal post shifting and the 'i no go gree' strong head?


Before I forget , where did you get the 'nairaland is my world mentality'?

Ibime:
Some players have acceleration over short distances like Romario while others may be slow to turn and slow in the first 10 metres like Usain Bolt. Maybe Rudiger is like Usain Bolt.

exactly
That should be the case.

Nihilist:
Rudiger is one of the fastest players at Chelsea if not the outright quickest...

hmm. Then my eyes have been deceiving me.

The truth is, I don't have strong confidence in him like I have in Christensen. A little above average in potential, from what I have seen. Unless he improves.
