I’ll do a better job than Maresca

This line up should secure the win today.

Madueke and Neto charging down the wings should cause enough damage, then we have Palmer and Jackson putting these mudafuckers to the sword with some excellent linkup plays.

Let’s go boys!

Phant0mStranger:
Line ups are released an hour before the match


So where did you get your lineup from?

KingAzubuike has a Chelsea mobile app on his phone. You should get one

drisham:
Maresca can't win a single match here walai

Permutations choke and that idiot had the nerves to rest some players against Brentford.

We die here.

Ibime:
Impossible to qualify with that record cos Aston Villa, Newcastle and City have sat up. Only Forest might wobble.

Let's try beat Ipswich first then my hope is Fulham are on holiday already, so assess after the next 2 matches. We could win a one off match against Newcastle or Forest to clinch it, but I'm doubtful we even beat Ipswich tomorrow.

Omo eh. See our life.

BlueRayDick:


I no know who lie pass between coaches and Nigerian politicians .

This Enzo post sounds like what a Nigerian politician would say while reeling out invisible achievement of their government.

His choice of words are letting him down. What he’s saying is that this team ticks when you have Nico leading that offense. He brings others into the game, presses more than any outfield player we have and creates chances for his teammates.

The only problem which Nico has is scoring goals, sadly, that’s the primary duty of a CF.

Now if we can get a player who can carry out the aforementioned attributes of Nico and still scores goals for fun, then that’s an upgraded clone.

That’s what the bald one is trying to say.

lordfalcao:
If we will win this match this comfortably. Maresca shouldn’t have gambled that lineup

You’ll think we had Betis or Fiorentina to play. Maresca is a fool.

Same team that defeated Spurs would have been a handful for Brentford.

BlueMann:
Sancho assist. Leyqute u no see as e pass that ball? So exquisite. You could really use that in your team next season.

Realtord43:
Lineup doesn't give any confidence at all

So what’s the logic behind benching Jackson, Cucurella et al, if they weren’t starting tonight?

This Maresca na olodo.

Ihebu4chelsea:
Hardwork over Luck anytime anyday.

Not just over luck but even talent.

Hardwork first.

Android17:
Your posts never infuriate me. I'm always infuriated that someone else agrees with your way of thinking.

I don't even know if you're joking because this is just too senseless to take seriously.

Kdb scored and assisted in a SFs against a better RM team in 2023 (a treble team). Scored in the QF last season.

It is only on NL that people entertain the type of arguments you spew.

Shame.

WTF!

Gucciboy:
Chelsea should swap maresca for Liam Rosenior. Both were signed by blueco group.

A point shy of a UCL spot. He’s done really good with that Strasbourg team.

What I find more impressive about him is the ability to try out new techniques and tactics. Those tweaks are what really makes the difference between a good manager and a dumbass.

It’s two consecutive GWS that we’ve had to come from behind to nick a win. I wouldn’t say that is impressive because we could have lost both games.

We want to stay dominant and to win our games convincingly without having to wait for the last fixture.

However, this is still the stuff Champions are made of, not to throw in the towel, never to give up.

Who’s next?

raumdeuter:
Oya Emaprince start your frog jump before I count 3

Whats the name of this punishment you will use one finger to touch floor and raise one leg

I don see the picture. Number 9 first then Number 13

Hehehe

AirBere:
Isn't this list incomplete? I mean your main guy isn't there.

Batch C

lordfalcao:
why you no add sesko, Rodrigo Muniz, Watkins.


Abi belotti and jovic don retire

Relapsed. Those ones go follow supplementary list come

diggz:
Fair enough! Na your guy start the snide remarks and insults here. Gucci only put mouth after Nateevs senseless responses to my frustrations that’ day.

The guilty party here is your guy

Make we free that one jare.

diggz:
And I was the brother Nateevs referenced in that post

TBH, I wasn’t even following the duel between you two. What caught my attention was this below:

Gucciboy:
Chelsea are about to miss out of top 4 and you are saying he's complaining too much. Are you stupid? Why not tell us you are Manchester united fan? Rubbish

See, this was so crude that I had to encourage nateevs to return fire for fire, as I won’t even take it if we’re to leave punditry and start hurling stones.

This issue isn’t anything serious IMO, disagreements happens and contrasting views are respected. What isn’t acceptable na insult or snide remarks. I go follow you go dirty for that one.

nateevs:
You and your brother have the opportunity to discuss your passion without insulting me.

I welcome all criticism, even tough ones. Leave the insults alone. If I change mind now, some will be asking me to calm down.

Diggz for the records, here’s the post I quoted, which was nateevs response to Gucci who asked him if he’s stupid.

Nothing concern you for my post, as I wasn’t making reference to whatever you posted or whatever beef you and nateevs get.

popizaino:
I feel Joey Barton should be here.

Rudiger is more of a psycho than Godin.

nateevs:
You and your brother have the opportunity to discuss your passion without insulting me.

I welcome all criticism, even tough ones. Leave the insults alone. If I change mind now, some will be asking me to calm down.

Calm down ke?

If person chook you dagger, matchete the person. I no dey take chances for this faceless forum. I won’t let NL give you the rare privilege to hurl insults at me and get away with it.

Mbanu! Eye for an eye.

Vischy:
The irony of this post is top level. 10 players scoring more than 200 goals shows laliga is farmers league. You just mocked your league

Hence I brought up the Ronaldo instance. Dude was shooting himself on the foot.

No be league wey strong dem dey score less.

popizaino:
Unfortunately, everything you said is what makes the modern game very predictable and not threatening enough,just one way footie that requires those attacking wingers wanting to cut in and play R2 like Robben when they aren't build for such. Even Robben earlier played as LWF before making it as the RWF.

The obsessions with MSN,BBC Robben Ribbery lewandoski,Salah,Mane Firminio esque kind of attack is fueling such predictability.

Madueke movement and his inability to easily turn side makes him less of a threat. You can't be an inverted winger when you lack this.

Just because Ronaldo or messi did it does not mean valencia or mata could do it simply because the later posses the same dominant foot as the former.

And Most of you Chelsea fans do not keep the nuance of how we score but who scored. That's why you still find it strange that i can be advocating for Madueke in the LWF position. I can give you countless examples of how we scored from having these players where in their rightful positions which has been more beneficial to us in difficult games

I doubt you have a clue about what you’re saying.

How’s using the inverted wingers a predictable attacking pattern and how is cutting inside the only attacking option for them?

There are three-dimensional threats inverted wingers pose when charging forward – they can go wide, cut inside, or create space for overlapping defenders. That’s unpredictability purely defined.

You can’t compare that to just being confined to the sidelines like traditional wingers and making nothing but runs.

Ronaldo left the EPL, moved to Spain and made their his playground.

Such a tough place to play

popizaino:
Ralphina has been showing everyone how it done even in 2025 but you're all focus on trying to make malouda play like messi just because they are both left footed.

Baba we’ve gone past that era. Modern footie demands versatility and unpredictable attacking patterns.

Inverted wingers are teams biggest threats, and I mean nearly every single team you see their games.

When you have a player playing on their “opposite” side, it maximizes their ability to cut inside and strike with their stronger foot, this is more effective than being confined to the sidelines and asked to make darting runs or make crosses.

This thing no be rocket science.

popizaino:
My point is that Madueke will be more dangerous from there than the right. The RWF seems to me like mismatch and waste of talent.

And how is he gonna do it? Run past his man, then whip a cross into the box?

Is this 2002?

nateevs:
You want to move Palmer to the LW permanently because of how we scored yesterday? Or what's the point?

In Ibime’s voice “You no sabi watch ball”

Emaprince:
Remember when Lampard was the gaffer at everton and they were fighting relegation...

yes ..deja vu, right?

We fight with out blood now !!!

You get luck sha say 4 of my players didnt play..it would have been game over since.

And we eventually won despite trailing by over 10pts on Tuesday. Champions stuffs!

Be humble, sit down

Massive win.

Ibime:
I love this Djed Spence guy, always have. I don't know why Conte did him dirty.

That boy is solid. Not giving any of our players the room to cut in.

Lmao!!!

Sanchez amuses every game day. A Pant + Dida in one man
