NewDelhi: Lampard Sha. Same way he started and ended last season. Use one formation and tactics today, use another one tomorrow. And you expect a team to gel well and get used to each other this way?
To put the icing on the cake he even captain Silva.
Disturb: Donjazet you did very wrong bringing that picture here.. Some of us saw the topic on front page but dodge it because we didn't want to see any troubling image..
I wonder why you delight so much in derailing.. Your joy na make argument de here 24/7.. So that you go de type your useless big big grammar
I wonder who deceived you that being well cyber-versed equates intelligence
Why are you attacking him?
Nobody has the monopoly of bringing off football topics here.
You can always scroll and pass if you don't like it.
airmark: What's the age of his first choice striker before Chelsea bought Morata?
After splashing money on Morata and wasted, do you think Chelsea were ready to buy a young and effective striker that will take a lot from the purse again?
In fact, only Giroud was above 30yrs among more than 10 players Chelsea signed while Conte was here. So i don't understand the 'Conte always likes old players' view.
With the bolded, do you now want to agree that all Chelsea signed when Conte was at Chelsea were his choices or what the board got for him instead?
At Chelsea, Conte wanted niangollan, who was already 29 or so at that time.
airmark: Were Lukaku, VVD, Alex Sandro old when he wanted to sign them for Chelsea?
I only thank God Man utd were stupid not to have signed Conte.
His first choice after Morata failed was Dzeko, second was Giroud.
That I said he likes old men does not mean that he does not sign young players too, but when you look at his average desired players you will find out that old men dey always come up.
It is not like signing old men is bad. It just depends on what you need. Why is it being an issue?
hensben: That’s because he came from Italian league where old players are mostly played and strive. The league generally is not financially strong. Even Juve that win their league go for old players sometimes or they do swap deal. His first season in Chelsea was it old men he used in winning the league. The problem with most of you here you don’t put things into perspective, you just go with raumdeuter’s twist and turn football logic just to win argument.
oga, we no dey quarrel. Conte like old men. That is my observation of him. There is no need for shouting up and down.
BlueAngel444: apart from Pirlo how many old men Conte been sign, abi no be him sign Pogba way Fergie ignore how many old players 30+ join am for Chelsea
hensben: Inter have no money to sign quality players in their peak and Conte is a coach that love to win at least domestic trophies so it is better to sign quality experienced players that have passed their peak.
leave this talk. Conte like old men. He likes experienced old men.
Ibime: And Lampard will leave a short one slow escort on the pitch while playing with 10 men. The whole point of Jorginhos game is possession football. You don't keep him on with 10 men when the aim of the game is closing all overloaded spaces with the fittest legs. Lampard is a learner.
nateevs: The problem we have is that everyone has been arranging best Chelsea 11 since the summer, salivating at the prospects of heavenly football, and expecting everything to click from the outset -.hit the ground running essentially. The display of lack of patience is staggering.
I have always felt we will not see 1st gear football until about 10 games in.
I mean we've started to see people break ranks with Lamps even with only 2 games in. Pulisic, Ziyech, Chilwell, Silva, Mendy, and a fully integrated Havertz yet to join the team, and people are already making conclusions.
The thing is just annoying me. The Chelsea fans impatience is beginning to annoy me to much.
Just 2 games in and everybody is already lamenting.
macjireh: thank God for d coming of VAR,,if it were now,,chelsea would have won ds game,,but clattenburg was used to commit an unforgivable sin against Chelsea and d sin still hurts manure till date...dats Y u guys will never win d EPL till rapture will take place
BlueAngel444: well that's definitely not the style we played last game.
Someone pointed out that, Lampard went for a 4-2-2-2, with RLC playing an unfamiliar position upfront, while some say he was a 10. Wonder why he experimented with a player coming back from injury that favors the left side of the pitch.
What ever it is he has on his mind he better not hide it against Liverpool.
‘Ruben obviously has been out for a long time and even his return to play was pretty broken by the lockdown and the restart when he was just available to play a few games,’ said Lampard.
‘So we certainly have to give him a bit of time on those fronts.
‘It’s a position [No.10] that Ruben can play for us. We’ve got injuries with [Hakim] Ziyech out and [Christian] Pulisic out as well,’ said Lampard, on deploying Loftus-Cheek in a more advanced role.
‘They are players that will come back and give me lots of options, so it was interesting for me to see Ruben in that number 10 position, he can certainly give us lots in those areas.'
MaziAlaye: I remember Ibime saying something like this. Watch this footage of two Tulsa Police officers getting shot in a traffic stop, unfortunately one of them died. so don't be quick to condemn police officers in escalating situations because they too fear for their lives.
Although, if he was black, as they call it, they wouldn't have argued with him that long before using all manner of force on him. Not to talk of when he mentioned that he had a history.
But in all, I care less about how the police handle known criminals like this cop killer here irrespective of whether he is white, black, green, yellow, etc.
Now, see how this guy is a cop killer, if when he is being hunted to be arrested he is shot in the process, people now start protesting for him.
If I am a colleague of the killed cop, and I am part of the team sent to go arrest that guy, I will shoot him at any slight chance.
CapitalCee: I was so sure he will flop. My instinct are ussually correct, it fails me only very few times. Ziyech and werner will be very good. Costa and chilwell will play normal. Kai will flop. Kepa will be forgotten soon.
Get this now my guy. Anytime you see supporters making excuses for any player, saying he is played out of position, the system dint suit him, give him time. Walahi that player na otu. The player I saw today is clearly out of his depth. They want to divert attention to RLC. Like we wont notice
did your instinct also tell you that Pulisic will flop?
popizaino: Our idea of mediocre players differ so I won't answer in respect to that but history which tells me Italy usually beat Germany when it matters most .
popizaino: Yea ............he lost to bayern,but my disgust with him was the manner at which he juventus lost.His team never looked like putting on a fight in both legs.Even the much maligned Wenger did better with arsenal against this same bayern in one of the legs.
Pep guardiola is going to win another ucl without messi when messi himself is able to win 6/6 in a year without guardiola and score 91goals in a calender year .
popizaino: Far from that .......His pattern of play was already a suspect for me during his early days at juventus, and he confirmed it by losing 2-0 at allianz arena in 2013 without attempting a shot on target save for pirlo's free-kick.As an azzurri supporter who have a phobia for allgemeine football the stupid man still went ahead to lose to Germany in Euro 2016.
oga, leave that talk. Em no even add. Make we just assume say dem dey born some ladies like that, even though I no believe am, but if na so, na only football girls wey dem born like that dey see do for their life? Because dem plenty for football.
Ibime: E get two Dutch players for Arsenal, Miedema and Roard wey impress me die. If they played for Chelsea, we go steamroll everybody.
I just dey read all these players bio dey laugh. They are all dating each other, for example Pernille is dating Chelsea captain. Even that Arsenal team, that Miedema dey date her teammate.
I pity the manager wey go dey manage all these emotions. Within the same team, like 8 girls fit dey date each other. If wahala dey for house or them dey cheat with other teammates, dressing room fit scatter.
