Eruditor: You people are funny but it is the reality of life.
CFC are not a midtable team based on what? Finishing 3rd and then 1st. I never said they MUST win the league or that Conte had the best squad. I said finishing 10th was a huge drop-off. I hope you get it.
Eruditor: Like I said, you are courteous when you argue so let me extend the same courtesy.
With which eye will we judge City team with? What Pep went on to achieve or what? Raheem of 2015/16 is not Raheem of 2019/20 so revisionism is playing a role in that better squad argument. You are the same person who claimed the other day that Pep's squad was on per with most of the top 4 during his first season. Now you have claimed it was better than Ranieri's CFC that beat invicible Arsenal in the UCL, got to the SFs and finished 2nd. Can you also see that you are also comparing a 2004 squad to a 2015 squad for 2 DIFFERENT teams?
The only effective way to judge teams is their achievements when juxtaposed with others in that time frame that they played. End of.
but you are still the same person that told us that achievement does not show the strength of a team.
You told us that Chelsea finishing in 10th does mean that we had a mid table quality team.
Your case go soon dey like raumdeuter own. It is a matter of time before you contradict everything you have ever said here
Thecassanova: The Mistakes our defenders make are schoolboys kinda errors. They are professional players that learned basic defending since Academy ffs.
We’ve known Christensen, Zouma & Rudiger error prone even before Lampard came. So how’s it Lampard’s fault? Remember Christensen under Conte, Rudiger with calamity Luiz under Sarri. 3 managers tactics can’t be all wrong.
what you remember about them is only their bad moments?
airmark: I thought the mumu don get sense. He was rushing to all the balls without second thoughts, like Boathand. I don't know if he takes ephedrine before matches, everything to him is to rush and use muscle.
Lampard should send Odoi to U23 for now. I hope Willian is not gradually returning to his quiet place.
Sulele04: Se what you to are saying and have a good look at yourself Abraham is a striker he relies on services without service he cannot perform you are clearly delusional to think it is Abraham fault , the only thing he saw was long balls we all know is not a target man he is more of a poacher something like icardi
Ginho and emerson are who you should blame my brother they bring bad luck to Chelsea the sooner lampard realizes this and ship them out the better
this guy, you never talk wetin this 2 players do you
KingAzubuike: People wey still dey support this Abraham guy have zero knowledge about football. He doesn't have the potential to improve at all. If you understand football well, you'd agree with me. Part of the reason I hardly comment here. Most people here are just paper fans who wouldn't even beat an agbero in a viewing center when it comes to in-depth football knowledge.
Thecassanova: Even your Zouma & Christensen you defended earlier this season are not any better
but we are still conceding even when they are not playing. Shouldn't that tell you something?
My suspicion is that lampard don't know how to train defenders and his tactics is exposing our defenders and he has no solution to that yet. Only 3 at the back can save us from conceding goals anyhow now. But, this current team is yet to master that formation. According to Conte, it takes time to learn the formation.
Sulele04: I want jorginho and emerson out of these team. Their mission is to ruin lampard every time they play we lose and play badly, I am sure nah sarri send them make them ruin Chelsea but they will fail and lampard will suceed
are you talking about the same jorginho and Emerson that were helping us to win earlier in the season? The ones that everybody were praising then?
BlueAngel444: There's a difference between being talented and performing. They weren't performing as Mount and Tammy are doing now but make no mistake they were very talented, they just unfortunately had the Mou factor.
there is nothing like the mou factor. They were just not fortunate to be in Chelsea when there was a transfer ban and no pressure to win trophies.
BlueAngel444: No am not, and I don't know why u would think that I am
So are insinuating that Mount beginning of this season was better than KDB and Salah when they joined Chelsea
Don't know what your basis of comparison is, don't cause confusion I'm referring to their time when their youths in Chelsea (or even before they joined)
they were just at the level of mount, and we both know that mount is always starting because the pressure to win is not there and because of the transfer ban.
Mourinho didn't have to go and buy cuardado when he had Salah who wasn't getting enough match time. Imagine replacing Lukaku with old man Eto.
He barely used KDB, as well, 6 months or so.
Anyway the quality of players Mourinho had exceeds what Lamps currently has.
Lets say today our line up is Kepa: Cesar, Ridged, Tomori, Emerson: Kante, Ginho, Barkley: Pulisic, Batshuayi, CHO
How confident would you be that we would win (I believe we would still win)
But in this line up who exactly leads the attacks, those four players Barkley, Pulisic, Batshuayi, CHO replace anyone with a rumoured attacker (apart from Pulisic)
If CHO doesn't up his performance, a good EPL loan could do him some good, Barkley in a way should start packing, same with Batshuayi. These guys are not at Salah, KDB or Lukaku's level when they left.
salah and kdb have already left before cuadrado came, Even though that cuadrado buy na stupidity from Mourinho, when Douglas was begging to come to us.
You are just using the salah and kdb of today to make your judgement. They were not like this then. Den still dey learn ball then. Leave talk.
If Chelsea have quality and matured players and are fighting for title, you think say we go dey play mount, Abraham etc?
BlueAngel444: Relax Lampard did say he won't make the Mourinho mistake
Buying a winger or an extra attacker won't derail Tammy or Mount's career.
Giroud, Pedro and to an extent Batshuayi need an attacking and creative replacement. Soon we will be playing FA cup and UCL having just Willian, Pulisic, Mount, Odio and Tammy for a 3 to 4 man position is not advisable.
Injury, Fatigue.. Besides in professional football these players should welcome the competition.
will he get enough time not to make the so called Mourinho mistake?
spillo1: LMFAO....I am going to ignore your first sentence even tho it's wrong on so many levels and focus on the bold. Shouldn't a glimpse into Sarri 3-year tenure at Napoli show the players that when his system is implemented fully to the core and each player understands his role the system is effective and definitely the way?
Just out of curiosity what if your players decide Lampard system is not the way?
oga, Sarri have coached for over 20 years with his philosophy of football without winning anything and you expect the players to continue following the unproductive way, when they know the productive way very well?
spillo1: There is no correlation. You don't have to be a serial winner to complain about a coach tactics/system.
how can you complain when you don't know how to win? Any the manager says, you will obey so that you can win, since you don't know how to win. But, this was different with the Chelsea players because they having been winning for years and they know that what Sarri was doing is definitely not the way
Ibime: His performance against Barca was better. He had Barca on ropes. Yesterday everyone played well so it's easier to play well. Against Barca, he was one man mopol
spillo1: LMFAO...boss the thing is most of your players are sums of b*itches. Is it not the same players that turned against Mourinho, Conte etc? Ask yourself why Sarri ex players at empoli and especially Napoli have never said anything bad about his system/ tactics?
BlueAngel444: Ya Lamps influence is showing, very soon Tammy will be playing more like Drogba, chest and pass, wiping in outside shots
honestly, if he had shown signs of playing the way he played yesterday initially, i wouldn't have said what I said about him then.
I just hope he continues like this. For me, this is what i want from a player first and foremost before any other thing. Even if you are not opportuned to score, make it easier for your Teammates to play well
