My statement doesn’t change that

I am rooting for Spanish teams doesn’t mean City shouldn’t be favorite against atm

You beat Madrid once and e don turn woto woto ,you best Villareal with pk and e don turn woto woto

Better change your dealer

An example of woto woto is the 7-1 Bayern Gave Chelsea

If supporting madrid against Chelsea means I hate Chelsea then so be it ,because everybody must support Chelsea

You don’t know history then. Go search chelsea vs Real Madrid in a competitive game and come back here to tell us what you saw.

tonididdy:
Honestly I knew Chelsea would face madrid... I just didn't say it here.
Nevertheless i'm not suprised.
Remember we still have same set of players from our "dirty money"

They say dirty money like which billionaire money clean. Smh. It’s just hate they have for Chelsea. But I’m seeing this to be a blessing in disguise at the end of everything.

Kloppo:
Campaign against chelsea .....

"Uefa,English fa,British govt and the world hates us"

Maureeno was right,why will others have easy draw except us

No one even complained. It’s a good draw for both teams.

Sorry this is shalaye from you as usual.

obonujoker:
Bro.... Ronaldo is more than goals.

Cr7 is mostly goals. He is not special like messi in other statistics measure.

Leyqute:
Olodo.

Someone said Ronaldo is playing in a talented Portuguese team. I asked him to point out the talents in the team when he won the Euros.

At this point, you jumped in like a tetherless cow asking if he scored winning goal yada yada

Was that the point of the discussion?

Olobe

You are the fool here. You are trying to exonerate Cr7 in the tournament they won when he was not the highest goal scorer, wasn’t the best player in that tournament and didn’t score the winning goal against France. Then you jump to number of goals he has scored and then I talked about Bican in that regard. You are the one switching. M u g u.

Leyqute:
Awawi.

How many star players can you see in that picture? Look at it again and come back and answer me.

Cristiano Ronaldo came into an ageing Portuguese team. Star players like Luis Figo and Rui Costa were nearing the twilight of their career at that time. He had to shoulder the team’s responsibility by himself.

I still remember the joke about Portugal’s default tactic in the 2010 World Cup being “pass to Ronaldo”. Lol.

CR7 has scored 115 international goals for Portugal (the most by any player) and you can bet your hairy ass that 70% of those goals were scored with a team of average players.

If Ronaldo were nearing his peak at this time when the Portuguese team is more robust, trust me he would have scored way more than 115 goals.

I asked you a simple question you started writing essay. Google Josef Bican who mammoth number of goals does that make him the greatest player ever. It’s unfortunate you guys have limit a player’s capability and ability on number of goals scored.

Leyqute:
This is Portugal’s Euro 2016 winning squad. How many “really good “ players can you identify?

Was it Cr7 that score the winning goal against France, was he the mvp of the tournament or the highest goal scorer?. The coach should be applauded here for being tactical in that tournament not Cr7.

FirstbornWds:
Just imagine the sense of entitlement. Who are you to tell anyone who to support?

So because he had/has a history with the club, he automatically is better than the S.I unit of football itself? Come off it bro.. See the light and stop slaving in this junk of mentality that you are forcing yourself to inhabit. Honestly, it'll do you no good.

Even some players that have played with Ronaldo in the same ManUtd shirt prefer Messi. The likes of Rooney, Paul Scholes, and Beckam are all legends of the theater of horror (sorry, dream) yet they haven't for once been shy to admit that Messi is better. How much more you, who is just one of the many fans that the team itself MIGHT not recognize.

Nobody made you the judge of the matter here. So it's better you just stick to famzing your favorite in peace while the real fans who can see through the veil, continue to savor their preference.

Someone said without form Cr7 is benteke while messi KDB.

Amoto94:
Tuchel as n.1 target to be next ManUnited's manager is just a fake news. A speculation.
Tuchel has only one thought on his mind: to be close to Chelsea. Today and in the future. A great manager and a great man even in difficulties. He deserves total respect.
Class act as always. Angelo Mangiante

How about we swap Nkuku for Werner. Nkuku, Pulisic, Havertz, Zyech, Odoi, Lukaku(maybe) and Mount next season will not be bad. Gallagher, Tchouameni, Kante, Jorginho and Kovacic in midfield. Sign one established CB to replace Christensen.

OUT: Werner, Saul, Christensen and Kepa(sign a replacement).

A40:
Still waiting for the Brunosexuals to run come apologize to me. I warned them in advance

This is why I don’t primarily rate players based on stats. It’s deceiving and don’t tell it all about a player. Bruno best position is SS in traditional 442 formation.

Na wa

raumdeuter:
Klopp had massive injuries, Half of his squad was gone and he had to compete against a team like Man City, Chelsea, Man Utd.

This Madrid and especially Barcelona are almost at their worst, everyone dey flog Barcelona they couldnt make it from their CL group, they were outplayed by Galatsaray at home. Barcelona at this point is terrible. Sevilla is even topping them

You are contradicting yourself bro. If you think those players simeone raised are now elites and should be doing more why can’t we say same for Barcelona as a team since xavi came have improve and should be doing more too.

raumdeuter:
Based on the team of Depaul Griezzman, Koke, Kondogbia, Felix Gimenez Correa Carasco and Oblak

That team has more quality than what Barcelona is parading

Lies. Stop twisting.

raumdeuter:
Messi was also booed out by PSG fans. News said he is looking for a way back to Barcelona

I don’t have anything with messi, he has proven himself for decade and half, and no longer in his peak days so he can be excused.

Segedinho:
It is becoming annoying.

The fool is saying we are buying players from other clubs...

He even cited Ashley Cole forgetting Gallas.

As if we never sold matic n Mata to man u.

Nonsense

They just want things to remain the same way. Whichever way they see it Abrahimovich did epl cultural reset with Chelsea.

Abrahimovich changed the traditional structure of epl for good.

nihilistjnr:
UK government announced yesterday that they are considering using the Chelsea football club hotel to house Ukranian refugees

Like bruh, whasup?

I'm actually really sick of this campaign against the club

Rival fans who are political appointees pushing Boris against Chelsea.

Segedinho:
See hatred garnished with jealousy....

I told you guys UK Government sanctioning Chelsea is as a result of hatred and envy from rival fans who are political appointees.

raumdeuter:
Last season when PSG was disgracing him or 2020 when they were collecting 8-2 from Bayern or 2019 when Liverpool was humiliating him

Measi as a player shined last season not team success or failure. Meanwhile, Neymar is finished at the age of 30, booed and asked to leave next season. From Messi’s shadow to mbappe’s.

raumdeuter:
Messi was also booed out by PSG fans. News said he is looking for a way back to Barcelona

At least messi shined until this season. What has Neymar done for psg after leaving Messi’s shadow.

raumdeuter:
When did Messi leave his peak, Let me know that year. Hopefully you wont tell us Messi peak ended the moment Neymar left

Neymar is been booed out of psg by fan.

raumdeuter:
Why is the same Messi not helping PSG and dropping a disaster class.

Since Neymar left Barcelona Messi has been chopping disgrace upon disgrace

Messi is no longer in his peak.

raumdeuter:
Shebi you dey se Neymar on the field for PSG and even scored this weekend In the CL they were kncoked out by Madrid, Neymar had 2 assists vs Madrid, When was the last tie you saw Hazard in Madrid shirt? Even small boys like Rodrigo Vicinius Camavinga dey play ahead of Hazard

Hazard the serious footballer is about to be chased out of Madrd the same league Neymar conquered and won the CL

Messi helped him, he had quality players around him at barca.

Raumdeuter Neymar will be chased out of psg by end of season. I told you he failed at psg. Whereas, Hazard conquered the league with Lille. Neymar the unserious footballer

donstan18:
Slow, sluggish, lazy and fragile.

But I’ll pick Berbatov over Fraudvertz because he’s a better finisher and also very serious despite his weaknesses.

You’ll hardly see him play like something isn’t at stake.

Where was Berbatov when he was 22?

Ibime:
Getting your second choice does not mean the manager did not rubber-stamp the second choice. It is quite rare to get your first choice. Many factors are at play including finances, the players wishes and the selling club stance. TT has already told us severally that signing Lukaku was an easy decision for him. I tend to follow managers statements on signings because we are known to have board signings without manager buy-in.

You ought to know by now TT is a smart man and he handle situations very well for the interest of the club so you don’t expect him to come out and say Lukaku was not his signing. He had issue with psg board because of this so has learnt to handle any situation concerning the board or owner.

nateevs:
For me, it's the price tag. Yes he can play elite football, and yes he's probably suffering from slumped confidence, but it's what happens when he's not scoring that matters to me.

For £100m, you buy elite-level dynamism, which sets the player apart the moment he's on the ball.

Elite-level dynamism is what you see in their tactical play, technical awareness, and as I always say, their technical ability on the ball. It's what makes them go to the right channel, left channel, midfield, and destroy opponents, bring their team mates into play and improve overall technical structure of the team, even when they are struggling in front of goal.

This elite-level dynamism, Lukaku lacks. So when he's not scoring, it is not good to watch.

At the emboldened, that’s what make a player elite. Lewandowski, Benzema, Kane possess all this. Even in the past elite attackers possess these qualities. Lukaku is slow with the ball, like a trailer turning.

Roland17:
Are you sure you have followed Lukaku’s career because this is reading like recency bias. You can make a good argument that Lukaku is not a good fit for Tuchel’s system or not playing his best football because of a myriad of issues, including self inflicted issues but saying Lukaku can not play elite football is absolutely false and blasphemous.

Personally, I think if Chelsea/Tuchel/ Lukaku put the work in mastering and tweaking the tactics, Lukaku can be successful at Chelsea but I doubt Tuchel has that time, especially at this critical point of the season and that is why he is sticking with what works.

You already use IF in your statement which prove that he can not play elite football. Someone that can not hold the ball properly, only rely on pace and power, mid table level.

OhBritannia:
That's how you know a club that means business.
Can't you see the way, we pressured our ex president to resign?
We pressured many executives to resigned, even took some to court, they are only happy they escaped jail.
We sack our coach, let go of many players, bought xavi and bought new players all within under 6 months and here we are in great condition better than ever like the Barcelona of Luis Enrique.
This is how you know a football club that's serious and now we are seriously fighting for Halland of Dortmund to sign for Barcelona.
It doesn't take hard to know clubs that are ready for the future.
It's not like i hate Manchester united but how can you spend close to 1 billion pounds in almost 6 years and not win a single trophy?
How can you have the most expensive squad in the world and end up in Europa?
Omor nor be juju be that?

Sentiments and obsession with English players as chore members of the team led to their failure. They did opposite of Barca.

Ibime:
Tuchel signed Lukaku, end of, like you advised him to.

His unreliable touch has been known about since he started playing. It didn't stop anything. Apart from that, all you are seeing is lack of confidence. A nigga who shot himself to top 20 EPL all-time goalscorers by the age of 26 is not as clueless at striker work as some would have you believe. Nigga is just at his lowest confidence following that interview on the back of injury.

He was second option because options were limited in the market. That aside, he has never be a clutch player like we know elite attackers for, he either score when the team is leading comfortably or against weak opponents. Rarely do anything against top defenders. He is a mid table striker. If at all, he only strive in counter attack set up. Most of his goals for Belgium are against San Marino, Luxembourg, Cyprus, etc.

Ibime:
Someone should please statpad for Chelsea. We can't be seeing Neil Maupay in goalscorers chart with 8 goals and none of our strikers there

Lukaku scored 27 goals in his first season at Manure. Name the last Chelsea striker to do that, you'll have to go further back than Diego Costa

Infact help me name the 2nd highest goalscorer at the last World Cup

Like I said stat is deceiving. His game play is average and disrupt Tuchel’s tactics. Now we can see the board forced him on Tuchel to be starting. If not anything this crisis relived Tuchel of that burden. Lukaku lack football basics. Clutch players with technical abilities does it for me, not stat-padding and the team will be suffering and lacking tactical structure.
