He is still developing and must not be rushed. You will know a natural striker even at a very young age, compared to an accidental striker that lacks basics in front of goal.

Jackson you mean.

BlueMann:
Not kind of. He is dangerous.

Unfortunately, the light bulb is not always on

He is dangerous but unserious.

airmark:
Any decent striker will be banging goals every matchday in this Chelsea team.

If only they know Jackson is not clinical in front of goal. Jackson wey go trap then count legs before shooting. Marc Guiu don’t need any loan, he should continue with Chelsea, in two years he will be starting in epl. He has the physique, agility and scoring instinct, only lacking in maturity which will come with age.

Cucurella is not tall but very good in aerial ball/duels. Same with Caceido.

Btw, Man U fans go think say this tournament easy seeing how Chelsea second team dey breeze pass teams until they play in it.

Chelsea target by January, he is 18, a goal poacher. I liken him to Lewandowski.

raumdeuter:
How many seasons has Chelsea been dealt with injuries cos Its been almost 7yrs since your team contested for the league

But we won ucl and other trophies prior to the sanction, transfer ban happened too.

Raumdeuter you see what injury can do to a team. Pep complaining of injuries to his players same thing Chelsea faced coupled with club sale saga. Ancelotti was hit with injury last season, went on to win ucl and la liga. Pep should stop complaining, this is the time to really prove what he is actually made of and not whining on every press meeting.

kizolo:
These players CANNOT implement any managers style be it prime Pep or Sir. They can only try to play in the managers style for a while but they will always go back to default. They don’t have stamina to run or skills to keep the ball. Counter is their default style. Bunch of non technical players. Make them sell like 80% of them

This is what you get when insist on continuous use of ferguson’s idealogy and style. Your club refused to move on from him even when epl have evolved from kick and run. Your club first mistake was allowing SAF to choose his successor. His style and tactics is no longer it for top clubs. There is a reason Mourhino faded too.

The three witches

I would have preferred Isak but for his injury history.

Me too.

raumdeuter:
Below is my response to you

This a normal fan reaction. I was really excited when we got Enzo to replace Jorginho. Enzo was having off field issue.

Arizoner:
Saka is both davido and wizywizy. Saka is world class. Forget the trophyless club he is playing for, he is A+ list or Is it becos he is black? The vinicius and mbappe you are mentioning, saka is miles above them and very consistent but because the world overrates them, you think they are superior to their counterparts

Saka will crumble playing for Real Madrid. I like Saka though but he is not world class, he is just a good player.

Bombblacks:
Stop acting like underdogs. You have spent more than a billion. Anything less than a title challenge is failure.

How many outgoing players coupled with slimming down of wages. You and Carragher are up to something. Nor be by force to Mount title challenge we are just thinking of next game and not the title.

Enzo5:
lol you mentioned casadei twice, he isnt a bad player to keep.

Honestly happy about our injury record this season, asides for r.james.

Selling sterling won't be easy with the way arsenal are massively devaluing him. January window is coming and only emeka is rumoured to be leaving. My prayer is we buy a quality CB and possibly a CF while offloading the excess. We bought players we actually never needed, they have to buy what the team actually needs

You can’t blame the board when you look at the problem surrounding Chelsea then and the team was underperforming, we just needed anything available to help. Now that clarity is coming back it’s time to start offloading, from next summer transfer

Enzo5:
let Nkunku get a run of games before we start looking for another option much less from Germany.

No to German league players. Inside ten na one Dey good.

MorataFC:
Estêvão became the youngest player in history to win ESPN Bola de Prata Aposta Ganha Award, the only one to achieve the feat under 18 years of age. A record that stood for almost half a century.

The best young talent in the world… 🧬

We are eating good this days. Where is Raumdeuter. Is Enzo still a flop? I knew something was wrong with Enzo and it wasn’t lack of talent. I watched him during wc and saw an astute midfielder which made me happy when we dished a weak Jorginho for him. He is just starting. His wife should just stay in another apartment with the kids, feeding allowance won’t be a problem. We have to cook hard this season and seasons to come.

timbros:
I don't know why you will connect my name to names that "insulted" you last season. Either you were not insulted or Timbros never insulted you. Try to correct that statement. Thank you.

In the Sheffield and Burnley matches you are refering to, can you please for a second focus on Chelsea's defence for a moment. I didn't say forget about the attack entirely. Just for a moment, forget the attack and focus on Chelsea's defence.... If you can do that, I'll be grateful...

Burnley has the worst attack in the division. They had a red card. Have you asked yourself how on earth Chelsea's defence concede 2 goals against such atrocious team? Not one fortunate goal o, but 2. Two! Infact once Chelsea score a goal, all the Burnley 10 men will CONFIDENTLY COME OUT and equalise. Not once, but twice!

And you want me to turn a blind eye on such defenders? No nah! Its very wrong. How can you allow the worst attack in the division down to ten men to attack you at will and score goals whenever they like?

Why must the defence swear that they will concede two or more goals per match no matter who the opponent was? Were you not here when they were on that run of surely surely conceding two goals or more per match?

Please show me a season Chelsea conceded 63 league goals after 38 matches. Sixty three! And you want me to be happy with such defence.

The problem was Pochettino’s tactics, our midfield was always open without the ball or whenever we attack, there was no balance between defense and attack.

Caicedobets:
They said Saka is as good as Palmer ..why is Madrid not after saka

Saka is good while Palmer is world class is what rivals don’t understand. Saka is a B talent, he is heading the likes of Bowen, Foden and co while Palmer is A list with the likes of Vinicious, Yamal, Mbappe and co. In football, eye test comes first before any other rating and Palmer is superior in that regard, including stat per games. Palmer can play in any condition and still shine not so with Foden or even Saka. With the way Arsenal pushed for the league last season, replace Saka with Palmer and they will be epl champion. Palmer’s talent and play make the team formidable with his enormous offensive talent and varieties. If only South Gate was brave enough to start him instead of Foden against Spain England will be Europe champion by now. Palmer is one of the reason for Chelsea’s come back, he is the revelation of this new era of Chelsea.

Saka and Foden are like Davido while Palmer is Wizkid and Burnaboy.

BlueMann:
He has a point tho...it's possible Neto battles Sancho for that LW spot, while Madueke and Estevao battle for the RW spot. Of all the wingers, Mudryk is the least assured rn. Things may well change before the end of the season.

Exactly. We just need a quality striker and CB next season. Mudryk seem not to have future here.

BlueMann:
Sunday was Gusto's best performance in a while

Thats what competition does to a player.

airmark:
Even Maresca asked him to be more brave but one Starchandbanga man said he was praising him.

Some get eyes they can't see and walking around with empty brain. A striker that Raumdeuter rejected for his team because of his low quality, is who we are rolling drums out for.

Shame.

We are getting a quality striker next season for sure. Gryokeres or Isak which do you prefer.

airmark:
We will fix that next summer, i believe Maresca has seen enough of Jackson.

Jackson with his low IQ.

Singapore1:
Palmer & Jackson has been sh!t ngl

Palmer and Jackson are something else today. Jackson doesn’t belong in the starting line up in the future, he doesn’t have sense.

Casuals: Salah>Hazard because of number of goals

Professional footballers, me and football experts: Hazard>Salah due to eye test and all round play.

Same casual: Iniesta and Gerrard> Lampard due to eye test.

Professional footballers, me and experts: Lampard=iniesta and Gerrard due to eye test and all round play/stats.

Sportsweb:
Disasi first defender to score for us in the EPL this season

Disasi is good at set piece but turn like trailer and slow to react is his problem.

People don’t really understand these things. Saka is a good player while Palmer is exceptional because of eye test first and then statistically Palmer is better too. For example, even if Lukaku score 1000 goals I still won’t rate him because he is a limited footballer according to eye test.

airmark:
I noticed this recently when he shrugged off opponents in duels.

Yes he did twice and the composure to score that goal. If it were to be before he will lose balance with his first touch. His athleticism improved overall.

nihilistjnr:
Moving him away from that pivot really seems to have changed his game.

I still have nightmares from that Moises, Enzo, Gallagher midfield

He was moved from there before but this time there are more spaces for him to move vertically and he is getting stronger with the ball.

Enzo beginning to match the physicality of epl, that was my only issue with him. That separation from his partner really worked. The union was really mentally draining him.

airmark:
Overperforming for his price tag is not the argument here. Today i expected him to score more than a goal because Villa's central defence hasn't been doing well, and as predicted he got the chances. Solanke scored a brace against them, and with Sancho and Neto playing i expected Jackson to feed off that. He wasted those chances to score a brace or 3.

Chelsea need a reliable striker who will push us to the next level and Jackson is not the one and like i said earlier, he can be a backup striker at best. Today he should have scored like 2 goals and propel us to 2nd.

Jackson still bottling one on one and can’t even score from mistake yet people are hyping him because of one goal. We still need a point man next season.

Rodrygo should be priority next summer transfer window. Ship out Sterling, Mudryk and Sancho(not our player).

Someone here said Mbappe is greater than Thiery Henry. lol 😂
