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.

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

See better Jehovah boy dem throway keep idiots.

SMH

My boy!!!!!!!

The build up to the goal was just awesome.

I hate to say it, that was Maresca ball.

nateevs:
Caicedo is unreal I swear.

Glad he’s come good.

I can recall when nearly everyone here was talking down on him, it was just a matter of time.

Which kind gengen press be this?

lordfalcao:
We underate cucurella alot.

Cucurella is currently top 5 in left back now

Cucurella is tactically fit for any position you want to play him.

One of the top, aggressive and strong 1v1 defenders at left back.

You have your reservations for Cucurella whilst I have mine for Kerkez. Both have been good players for their respective teams, but the stats I just threw out clearly shows you which player has been better this season.

I expect strong resistance from Spuds, but we can nick a win with this lineup.

Good to see Palmer and Jackson back in the lineup.

iamoyindamola:
Yes

Thanks man. I can’t just lose to Emaprince of all managers

We go fight this fight till 90 minutes.

Ihebu4chelsea:
Of course, Kerkez is not better than cucurella. We don't appreciate our own. If we must get any player from Bournemouth, it should be Hujsen and semenyo.

lordfalcao:
I cannot even take kerkez over cucurella

You two are good Chelsea fans I actually love their modest style of commenting on this thread, don’t ruin that growing legacy by reading comments and learning from a football neophyte like airmark who doesn’t know zilch about tactics or football dynamics in general.

Check through his history of posts since he signed up on this forum, 95% of them can be attributed to “my prick is bigger than your prick” esque debates, which are usually accompanied by needless insults and unnecessary personals. He doesn’t talk football but only documentaries on comparisons of teams and players, that’s his forte.

Now back to the cruz of the matter, the only area Cucurella has trumped Kerkez this season is on tackles, bar that, the kid is head and neck ahead of him in overall performance.

Maybe Chelsea are equally stupid to be eyeing the Hungarian as a potential replacement/upgrade to Cucurella, whilst Liverpool, Spurs, and Arsenal are all keeping tabs on him according to CaughtOffside.

lordfalcao:
I cannot even take kerkez over cucurella

You say?

As this stands, Shey Hudson is getting automatically substituted by Mbuemo tomorrow?

Because I just had to check the rules again to confirm.

AirBere:
If the idea is to play Santos, Enzo and Caicedo in a midfield 3, then Enzo should be the deepest as he knows how to control tempo better than both. Deep Lying Play maker alas Jorhinho, Carrick, Pirlo, Kroos style. Since he's the slowest and can't really attack at pace or enough power to win back possession up top via pressing.

I think It should be Enzo deepest, flanked by two work horses in Santos and Caicedo. If Enzo can't do a job deeper like he did with Argentina in the world cup then he should be sold. He's very poor in attacking areas, lacks pace too.

I totally agree with this assessment.

We know he’s the short one in that midfield and needs a minimal defined role than the other two.

Gucciboy:
Yeah he's combative and physically ready for dm role and premier league football but he's got a lot of room for improvement.

For Andrey Santos. He's fully ready. One of the best midfielders in Europe.

He's a goal scoring midfielder, a box to box midfielder and a defensive midfielder. 3 in 1 modern midfielder if he's a Barca player he would be getting balon d'or shouts

Next season should be Andrey x caicedo in double pivot.

I think we would be more dominant with a midfield triumvirate of Andrey, Caicedo and Enzo.

That’s a midfield of two runners and one stroller (sic) that can recycle possession. For all Enzo’s laziness, I think he has the abilities to keep the ball and prevent the opposition from gaining possession - something Caicedo and to a lesser extent Andrey aren’t great at. We can easily see our team, breaking up opposition play (Caicedo/Andrey), winning possession and swiftly getting the ball away from the immediate area of attack (Enzo), to any of the attacking players who is in a deeper position, allowing us to restart the build-up from a different area of the pitch.

This would make us look quite unpredictable and dangerous when initiating an attacking play.

Then Palmer should be permanently moved to the right wing and allowed to go shine. A new right-footed left winger should be a top priority for the club, Sancho isn’t the man. If only we had snapped Kvaratskhelia, but then there’s Wirtz or Musiala we can break the bank on. I rate the two highly for the LW position.

Then a bid has to be made for a new striker as we have been found out in that area. Hincapie and Guehi won’t be bad choices for the CB partnership, as Colwill, and that teen boy deputizes. Is Kerkez available? That would be an icing on the cake for us.

The rest of the deadwoods should be placed on a Black Friday Sales on Temu.

Jorgensen
James - Guehi - Hincapie - Kerkez
Caicedo - Andrey - Enzo
Palmer - Jackson (Phuck Airmark ) - Wirtz.
