But Mourinho is a complete A -hole.
Every single player he sold has gone to become hits. Two of the players he discarded he bought again at manure.
It is unbelievable that a single manager will dispose of salah, KDB, Lukaku, Mata and co because they were not expensive enough for him.
That is an astonishing number of talents to throw away in less than 5 years. He could not even include a buy-back clause.
Imagine how terrifying Chelsea could have been if Mourinho had not return for the second time, or if we had conte much earlier when KDB was still here.
The special one, no he is not. He is nothing but a cheque book manager.
What a cancer.

Oga, some players were sold during Mourinho's time that were not supposed to be sold for any reason. This players include Salah, Bertrand, Mata etc. Of all the sales, it is that of Salah that pains me more, because, he was even doing wonders while on loan at Roma, yet he was sold.
Mata was an established Chelsea player, yet Mourinho sold him.
Bertrand was to replace Ashley Cole, but he was still sold.
Cech's own is even somewhat understandable, since courtious was giving conditions to Chelsea and the club didn't want to lose a young promising player like that.
These are the some of the players that i can't explain their sales today.



But, KDB and Lukaku are not part of that team. It is just like coming tomorrow blame conte for the departure of chalobah if he starts shining tomorrow, when both of us know that there is non of our midfielders he could have benched. So, the best thing is what he did by going to a place where he will get more education and training. This is KDB and Lukaku situation. Both of them were not ready when they played for Chelsea.

In fact, KDB has no reason to make noise. This nigga was given the rare opportunity to prove himself and he fumbled it. Do you know what it means for the manager to start a player in the first three matches of the season? This is what Mourinho gave to debruyne in a position that had willian and shurrle fighting for starts.

The most provoking is that the nigga started to tell the manager that he does not deserve to stay on the bench, when he has not done anything to to prove otherwise. Just imagine! In a club like Chelsea! Does Chelsea look like Wolfsburg to him! The worst is that he started pointing to hazard being his age mate and playing. As if he can do what hazard does for Chelsea on the pitch.

It is good for him that he left to go and learn ball elsewhere. And, thank God for him that he has learnt well and improved a lot, but never should he or any of us make any case for him at Chelsea. The same for Lukaku who was immature and technically inept.

I rest my case.

That's difficult for many to figure out. I remember when i analysed some 'striker, go and kill yourself' passes that kdb gave, that dayo dropped here. The receivers of most of those passes, had not more than 30% chance of doing anything tangible with them. Hazard would rather not waste that power of possession and switch to plan b.

What i am happy for is, he is closer to goal mouth now. Only injury can stop him, as i notice some opponents are now targeting his ankle.

e no go work for them. My man is not having any injury.

"We are in the same situation as everyone. It was difficult for Manchester United to play at Chelsea. It's not only Tottenham that struggle to compete with the big teams away from home.
"We need to do many things. We need to win trophies, we need to build the new stadium, we need to build the squad, we need to play young players."


I see frustration here for poch.

airmark:
It's good that you posted a gif, later some brain-fatigued dolts would be saying that hazard only dribble, pause and play, no through passes from him and all that.

hazard has never been a blind player. Once he is in the midfield and spots a good run from a player, he is taking the pass. That is his game. But, he likes play such pass when he feels there is a higher probability that it will get to his player. If not, he holds to the possession and dribbles till he finds an opening.

I just laugh when I see them saying that he doesn't know how to pass. Passing is a big part of his game. Without his passing, he will not get the ratings that he is getting. He will also not be raking in the number of chances he gets.

dopeJemi:
let's take a look at the following scenarios:

can a society reward a politician with chieftaincy title only to condemn a young man who gets inspired by such?

are you better in moral assessment than a thug who attacks when his rightful admission to study at a college was given to your unqualified self through a dubious and nepotistic process?

is your benefactor uncle who calls himself a contractor yet diverts money meant for road construction/maintenance thereby taking numerous lives better than an armed robber?

generally, no group of people hold the monopoly to sanctify and moral judgement, laws, religion, rules, norms, values ET all, are all subject to changes, what is right in Vegas is wrong in Tehran after all

in Nigeria, the difference between what is legally right or wrong only depends on who you are, who you know, who get caught, who the public supports and not by the actual act itself, our society continuously glorify Criminals today(as exemplified on social media). their urge to fight, beg to be heard, seen and noticed by the same people who pop champagne at clubs with their entitlements and destiny is terrifying

I am perhaps of the opinion that it is illegal to be legal in an illegal society. so here is my question.. will you join the corruption/dishonesty trend if your life depends on it??


ibime, nihilist, diggz, sinizia, funlord, leyqute, lana1, raumdeuter and those I am forgetting to mention, I really need your opinion on this

firstly, I will not do anything that will make my life depend on any leadership position in this country.

But, if somehow I find myself in any, if the corrupt system tries to make it difficult for me to lead my Godly life. I will quit.

What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul in hell.

No wonder Jesus said that, 'it will be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
But, there is an assurance that,' with God all things are possible '

Abi Wenger don dey enjoy the benefits of poor refereeing. No be when e go against am now, em go begin cry like baby.

raumdeuter:
Hazard is a black hole who sucks creativity out of the team. If they dont get rid of him they wont achieve anything. Chelsea wont win another CL if they depend n Hidden.

lol. Oga raumdeuter! I salute you.

raumdeuter:
The type of quality football at the world cup that knocked them out or at the euros that crashed them out to Wales and Robson Kanu

and where was KDB when all these were happening?

raumdeuter:
You remember one wise man who told everyone here that football is a sport for young people and the riot that followed.
Some tools even gave us examples of basketball players and this same Italian team.

Can i ask why you are using 30yrs as a benchmark and not 45 or 52

and how old were the ones conte took to quarter final last year?

Eruditor:
Of course his rating will improve - he is a very good player.

Same way Isco's rating has improved. But Isco is not WPOTY and nobody is calling him that.

But look at what people are doing on here.

so, you think isco can't win world best or baloon d'or? Is it because of messi and Ronaldo presence that is still holding others.
Is it not, Iniesta, ribery, nueur, Neymar, griezzman and bale that have all made it to third one time or the other?

Eruditor:
You can list them out for yourself and be honest.

you are doing the listing. Continue and don't be biased. Also, try to use statistics where possible.

Eruditor:
Again, I believe Hazard is a great player. If you can bring any post of me calling him Ikedia or anything, then your question will be apposite.

you didn't answer the question.

Eruditor:
I have never insulted Hazard and truly believe he is a top player. But he is a bit overrated going by some things people say here. For e.g, Hazard will not become WPOTY playing in RM or Barca as some have said.

If Neymar did not become it, Hazard will not become it. The argument therefore that he needs better players around him (like those teams) to take him to that level (of CR7 and Messi) is fa fa fa foul.

but, do you believe that with quality players around him, he can increase his rating above what it currently is?

Eruditor:
Au contraire, I was asked who was "most" talented between the 2. I simply listed out the "talents" and numbered them to see who had more of it.

If Drogba defends better than Messi, does he score better? Dribble better? Pass better? Read the game better? Score freekicks better?

Does he have more gravity i.e the ability to pull players to himself thus freeing others around him?

Does he have more acceleration? Speed with the ball? Decision-making? Craft? Guile? Flexibility?

I am sure you know where I am going with this.

so, after checking all the skills, you thought KDB have it more than hazard?

atheist5:
you are a very big f00l for what you just wrote,i thought i could ignore your rants today but i underestimated your foolishness,look at this idiot so hazard at 22 should be leading chelsea in his first ever season,you be mumu hater,just go collect your school fees,dont let hatred for hazard give you mental disease because the bumman dont give f7cks about your existence

i think hazard was 21 when he joined Chelsea.

Nihilist:
Google is your friend Bro. Rashford was not the only academy striker for Manyoo.

please don't be a hypocrite. Rlc left Chelsea to go and get more game time. He has been working hard ever since and preparing himself for the moment. So, whether some players were not available or not, has nothing to do with the chance Rlc got. He got it because he has been working so hard for it for years and the talent has always been there. This is exactly what you wanted us to believe in the case of Rashford. I don't know why you are changing now.

Again, Rashford got his chance because all of the senior strikers for United were unavailable then and also the players ahead of him in the academy had been loaned out.

I hope you will not tell me that Ampadu is better than Rlc because the former is at Chelsea while the latter has been loaned out.

Nihilist:
My opinion on Rashford vs My opinion on this RLC are as different as chalk and cheese, indomie and spaghetti, tombo and champagne, speedboat and canoe, torchlight and halogen lamp.

There were at least 10 if not more strikers at the time of Rashford's debut. LVG did not have to play him. The competition at a club like Manyoo is so great that LVG could have conceivably turned to any other striker In the ranks.

The fact that he chose a 17 year old who would go on to do time very interesting things on the pitch was not lucky...they knew what Rashford could do, which is why he was in the squad.

You can't compare that situation to the England situation where the talent pool is so meagre that the manager is forced to call up Lewis Cook, Jack Cork and Jake Livermore.

Choice is the difference. One manager had choice. The other doesn't.

i am not arguing with you o. But, I will like to know the 10 or more strikers that where ahead of rashford which were available during the time he got his debut?

Nihilist:
Nope. There are 2 reasons RLC got called up:

1. Southgate managed him at U21 level and has a lot of faith in his abilities from his performances at that level. Not a bad thing, but not current performance based either

2. The spate of withdrawals from the England squad for this round of friendlies - Henderson out, Winks out, Alli out, Delph out, Drinkwater out, lallana out.

just look at the England midfield in the latest squad - Jake Livermore, Jack Cork and Lewis Cook are in it. If Lewis Cook with only 8 EPL appearances over the last 2 seasons got called up, it just shows how desperate they are for bodies going into the Brazil game.

I certainly don't think RLC has done anything this season to warrant an England call up, but desperation is a factor. Then again, this is England we're talking about sef...

yesterday you were the one telling us that luck did not play a part in rashford getting a chance at united. Now, look at what you are saying about a Chelsea academy product. Do you have anything against those boys?

Try not to have a reputation like one of our brothers here o.

raumdeuter:
KdB was not in French league then. Developing oneself is a major part of football, Most of the thing C.Ronaldo is an expert in nowadays, he didnt know how to do them well at a 20.

BTW Where was Suarez when Mikel was setting records at a young age in FIFA competition

i was addressing the issue of talent.

Even so, what was kdb winning in the league he was playing in then? Or is no awards in the league he was playing in?

Eruditor:
Hazard got into the national team before KDB that is essentially why he is the captain. Age bracket is moot. And to get something (PFA player) before someone else does not make you better (KDB was not there when Hazard got it). Owen was Ballon d'or and Henry was not but even Owen will tell you Henry was better than him as footballers.



This is easily KDB. He has "more talent".

Shoots better with both legs.
Has better vision.
The better passer.
Defends better.
Taller.
More durable.
Has more assists over the course of their careers in the EPL.
Plays more positions.
Reads the game better.

Hazard is only quicker and the better dribbler.

chai! Nothing wey person no go see. So, because say kdb don take time develop em self, em don get talent pass hazard. Nawa. Where was this kdb when hazard was setting records in ligue 1 at a young age.

Nihilist:
None of that is my business bro.

Pat Nevin played the game at the highest level for Chelsea. I choose to align with his opinion as expressed.

lol

Branzy:
the guy will settle in.. he will grow in Chelsea.. yu guys are just impatient

that is what I pray for, since he is already with us. At least, for the sake of our champions league campaign.

Nihilist:
The only Ewa we acknowledge is Gbegiri

i knw say u go dn happy as u see this article. Bt, u shld knw that pat nevin is just trying to support a chelsea player by emphasizing on his positives and ignoring his negative which he initially stated.

Honestly, bakayoko is just doing exactly what ibime said he wl do. No stability in midfield. "fight and win bk possession, lose it again wt sloppy passing, and d cycle continues. No calmness and stability to the midfield".

Just look at hw kante does it.

In the midst of storming performances from everyone else in the side, I was also intrigued by the 23-year-old Tiemoue Bakayoko’s contribution. He did give the ball away more than was comfortable and he got booked again, but we could see in that performance a power and energy that could well become an unstoppable force in the months and years to come. There were many who questioned the release of Nemanja Matic to United and I understand their point, but in reality having watched them face up against each other I think the younger man in blue (including the hair) clearly won the battle on the day and there is a very good chance he is the man for the future. His breaking into the box from deep was extraordinary, leaving everyone else in his wake and although he didn’t finish that well, the important thing is he got himself into those incredible positions. In fact he probably got into more scoring positions than any other player on the field on the day.
His heat map shows how much time he spent getting into the opponents ‘D’ just outside the area.
It all goes to show

Antonio Conte on Christensen: "He is the present and future for Chelsea." #CFC






But sky commentators are savage ooo..


When Mourinho was writing on his piece of paper or booklet, this is the discussion between the commentators.

Commentator 1: What is he writing on the paper?

Commentator 2: He is probably asking himself whether he parked the bus at the wrong area!!!

The first half was a very difficult one for us*

Especially in the midfield where it was mostly 3 vs 2 (Kante, Bakayoko & Fabregas *vs* Matic & Herrera). *Numerical advantage for Chelsea* �

Again, they *out powered* us with the strength of *Bakayoko and Kante* making Fabregas free to move around the pitch. *Creating further space for Bakayoko to surge further forward* As evidenced in the number of chances he had �.

The numerical disadvantage in the middle had to force Baily to move out of positions so many times as he had to *man-mark* Hazard. Since Herrera can't make Matic to be left alone to man-mark Hazard. *A tactic that worked into perfection for us the last time we met them*.

The space left by *Bailly* made *Morata* to be able to receive the ball and freely operate within our half. Which was quiet *different* in their half. *Lukaku* was *man-marked* by *Christiansen* with *Kante and Cahill* always shielding the ball from him before he can even receive it. Making it *3 vs 1* in most situations.

In all Chelsea had the greater share of possession as well as chances n the first half *(dominated us)*

*The second half*

The second half obviously changed the face of the game as Mourinho opened up right from the start *(which is very evident in their goal-counter attack)* as Mourinho will say *THE THIEF*

This made us to push further higher on the pitch to try and equalize and thus in effect made us very vulnerable at the back with Chelsea *constantly hitting us on the counter*

Although they had their defense very *compacted,* we had a couple of chances of which we were *a lil unlucky not to have registered a goal*

We *missed* our strong men in the middle although *Feillani* was later introduced. But as we all observed, they had *closed their door already* �

However, Chelsea *(Morata specifically)* could have brought the *game to bed* with his numerous chances *squandered*

In a nut shell, I think the game sold out well and it was a *well deserved* win for Chelsea

*Congratulations Chelsea* ��

*Chelsea was baptized in Rome to come and kill the Devils in Manchester*

..��������

Without a doubt, we missed kante. Conte shld neva play yoko in a two man midfield again. I think he is beta off in this formation we played today.

Hazard did'nt impress me today one bit. I did'nt like the way he played nd d multiple chances he missed.

Morata was doing wel with the hold up and link up play, bt he missed a lot of chances. I think he needs to improve on his shooting.

Alonso seriously needs competition for his position.

I love christensen. Dazzol.

I always believed that with kante returning, our winnings wl return. I love that nigga.

EvilMetahuman:
who doesn't

The guy is a genius abeg.
