The UCL winning goal alone would live in our memories for years to come.
I was critical of him all season due to his lackadaisical attitude from the start but he picked form towards the tail end of the season with some good performances. I hope he gets better.

What do you think of the news below?
CHO for all his talent can't seem to have a manager who trust him enough.

The board will be stupid to. Sell Ziyech now.

Ibime:
You mean Kjaer that was 2 on 1 against Lukaku and still got ragdolled. 2 on 1 is not being exposed. Does he need 3 men against Lukaku and leave the rest of the pitch exposed?

From what I saw, Denmark had the better of things but two moments of magic saw Belgium through

Exactly what happened. Because the Danes bettered them in everything. That is what quality players give you. They use few chances to make a difference.

Hazard scored many spectacular goals o

Actman05:
Ok, but I don't think the average fan had a say in these decisions.

lol. Who be fans. The guy just dey talk tụfuru tụfuru..

Actman05:
Senior man even in hindsight, fans can only talk but the final decision rests with the board.
KDB was sold by Mourinho.
COURTOIS forced a move.
LUKAKU'S loan was made permanent by Everton and when everyone thought he was coming back the board went on to sign Morata.
But it's the fans that sold Belgium's golden generation. Peace.

Mourinho did not sell KDB. He requested to leave and his request was granted by the board. It is simple as that. Mourinho does not have history of forcing players to stay or keep them on the bench to truncated their progress. If you want to leave, you leave.

Lukaku in the way he was then was not what Chelsea needed. If not that Costa started misbehaving and left and the Morata that came was a goat, we wouldn't be talking about Lukaku.

With all the Belgium golden generation talk it is only kdb and hazard that are the real creative players they have in their team.

How did memphis miss that?

Actman05:
So it's Chelsea fans that sold KDB, COURTOIS, LUKAKU AND HAZARD.

Thorgan, too.
He is talking with hindsight.

When did Lukaku suddenly become a speedster?

BlueRayDick:
Well, other teammates were not asked about Giroud's comment.....Mbappe was asked and he explained his own side of the story. You don't expect Mbappe to lie, do u?

You miss the part where Giroud feels he has misbehaved and reached out to the boy to apologise but the boy was feeling like what I don't know. Even the coach got involved and wanted to settle issue, but you think Mbappe should be explaining, and talking about not lieing?
What happened to saying that everything has been settled.

Havertz10:
the difference between a star and a moon is unfathomable, stars give planets life, a moon is locked to the gravity of it's parent planet and enjoys all the benefits while assisting the planet with it's own small gravity

lewandowski is a star, giroud is a moon, I watched that world cup and nobody in their right senses will say that france deserved it, they played negative football and relied on counter to win games, the game against belgium was a disgrace, absolute robbery, they didn't give player of the tournament to france because none of them deserved it.

Which kind ridiculous comparison be that, nobody will remember giroud when he retires

Stop talking nonsense. When did counter attack style stop being a style of football? Leicester did not deserve their league title, too?

BlueAngel444:
Giroud isn't one to make such a complain except it is glaring obvious, secondly, Mbappe doesn't deny that he acted in such a manner nor does he apologize for it, instead he defends himself. Then even without his name being mentioned he responds with press and ignores him in training. There's more to it than what we read.

A striker cannot be open repeated times and you don't pass when you can.

If you compare the kind of service Benzema was getting and wasting to the the ones Giroud got.

Exactly.

BlueRayDick:
Maybe u should see it as a case of Mbappe being bold where Giroud decides to act as a coward.

Giroud did wrong going to the press with such issue instead of taking it up with his teammates. He acted as coward by making such blank statements ; mbappe on the other hand knows Giroud was talking about the attackers/midfielders (himself inclusive ) not passing the ball to him as frequently as he would’ve love..... so he took the bull by the horn and called him out the same way he did his teammates.

Initially I thought Mbappe was wrong to have gone to the press saying all that , but when I knew Giroud started it ......mehn I think Giroud deserves what he’s got.

Giroud would have controlled himself and not say such in the public for the sake of the team, but is Mbappe the only teammate or attacker? Why must he be the one to talk about it in the press conference?

timbros:
All I see here is guilty conscience.

According to your screenshots, Giroud said "certain individuals". Since when is Mbappe's name "certain individuals"?

Mbappe should grow up abeg.

Exactly my thoughts.

BlueMann:
Meanwhile Sarri wants Kepa back. Lazio looking to bring him in on loan, and they'll pay half of his wages.

Can God just answer this prayer?
Will be so happy

seankafor:
I just received a call that my dad just passed on..

Well, death is a debt everyone must pay so am not much surprised it's my dad's turn to pay up... Although didn't fathom it could be this early

Anyways I believe he is in a better place now

my condolences.

chic2pimp:
Absolutely Bro. It was just the shock that's all. Never seen anything like it.

Me, too. Never seen anything like that. I was just thinking about his loved ones, trying to be in their shoes, and I couldn't imagine it. God!! I thank God he survived.

chic2pimp:
Oh good gawd not Erikssen.

Not even, not Eriksen. Nobody deserves to pass through that. Imagine how the family will be feeling.

God!!! Let this not happen. How can I unsee this?

Havertz10:
both city and psg have had good runs in the competition over the last 5 seasons compared to most teams

But I was referring to psg in particular, corrected it

You are still wrong

Havertz10:
you will just pick one angle and run with that

i'm talking about how difficult it is to qualify for the champions league

it's a challenge for most top teams compared to back then that only a few teams got it regularly


City and liverpool had to amass those crazy numbers cause that's the requirement and level of performance required to win the league these days

while they were amassing it, how many points were others getting?

The main reason Chelsea and the rest are struggling to make top 4 is simply because they are no longer strong and consistent as they used to be.

Havertz10:
Manchester city and psg have made it to the semi final repeatedly over the last few seasons, I don't understand what you are talking about, winning the champions league takes more than money, even with all the talent, you still need luck

Are you in an alternative world?

donstan18:
I actually agree with him that Chelsea had better players then, but I think the league became tougher lately.

which tougher. Man City and Liverpool running away with league while others watch on. 25 points gap at some point.

Havertz10:
Some old men wouldn't evolve

Celebrating mediocrity of the past

Dating back to the 1950s

2000s was one the least competitive era of premier league football

Top 4 strandings remained relatively unchanged and the gap between the top teams and the rest was vast

We are looking at real data, that one keeps talking about what he watched

My friend stop talking nonsense. Anything you did not witness in football you should not talk about it.

Many things in football contribute to teams not winning trophies. Great teams have passed and failed to win trophies as expected of them.
Little mistake in football and you lose the trophy or chance to advance in a competition.
Coach is another thing.
Imagine a great squad like that of Manchester City getting whooped every now and then by underdogs. Imagine getting flogged by fucking Lyon and Tottenham bottling company. Chelsea and Manchester United, and Liverpool underperformance is the reason Manchester City won last season league.

If epl teams are actually putting up any kind of challenge, how can man City and Liverpool be amassing the kind of ridiculous points they are amassing these days? 96, 97,98 100. Just imagine. Which Okoko does not know that Man it'd, Arsenal and Chelsea are now shadows of themselves.

Havertz10:
based on your logic only academy players are good, all transfers bring flops, maybe they should even cancel transfer windows entirely

I wonder why Chelsea didn't follow your guidance and maintain the same team that got smoked 7-1 by Bayern

Hakimi is the best rwb in the world, james is an irrelevant dunce compared to him, they aren't comparable on any level, stats and otherwise

If he is acquired, James should pack his bags

When he begin flop now and James continue him good work you go begin write long Epistles about Hakimi and probably get a new Hakimi moniker, and start attacking James that may dump his ass to the bench.

popizaino:
He is not smoking anything, he is just realising that he has been buying scrap in the name of world class players.

Tell me something. Wonders shall never cease!! Eeee!!

MorataFC:
Na only Morata u fit mention? What of Lukaku, what of Salah?

Madam, talk your own leave my own nah

popizaino:
I stopped following transfer news about 10years ago when the news of Edwin Dzeko to Chelsea was flying around. Man I did some mumu mumu thing and was ready to fight anybody that tells me I was only dreaming. I had Edwin dzeko transferred to Chelsea on my console just because I was following his news passionately only for him to end up at man city . Since then I don't follow transfer news again. No be una go kill with hbp.

Na Morata Bleep me up.

swiz123:
Kane might offer short term success but in business, long term success is always the goal. Also, as a businessman which Roman is, he will look to buy someone that has resale value just like Hazard.

You want him to buy Kane for an outrageous fee for his age knowing fully well that Kane will fizzle out in 3 or 4 years. Look at it as buying an expensive Machinery that you will have to depreciate by a high percentage due to its fickleness so the financial statement will reflect a true financial strength of your company.

As you a fan, you don't care about this but the truth is, Roman will run his business to maximize profit and minimize cost.

You mean, like the Kepa business?

I don tell una make una rest with all these things. You have no say in the signing. Just rest. Na all these things una dey do dey cause all these unnecessary arguments for here.
When Chelsea sign this Haaland now and em begin flop instead of you to accept say em don flop, you go begin write long Epistles on why he will come good and everything.

All club to sign player come. If em flop, you bash. If e do well, you hail. Simple. I stopped following transfer news and discussing incoming players since 2-3 years now.
Anything wey club like make dem sign, e no concern me. My own na to watch match, support players wey dey do well or try their best to do well. Flop and don't look like coming good, I bash you. Na my own be that.

arukwe123:
170m for 27yrs old player with injury problems. No way

Is it your money?

ablejesus26:
Idiot so you also approve killing of people's sons, fathers and mother who picked up a job in the security to feed their families??.
Ezi.

You are a fool. ESN is in the Bush chasing Fulani murders away.

Goat, you approve the killing of people's loved ones in their sleep by Fulani murders for only being humans. Idiot.

Tinubu wants to be president, so the dead ones are the sacrifices... no one must complain lol

He will get the shock of his life. Abiola's case will be small.
