Whenever pulisic is fit, he's always firing. Nobody can have issue with that. He is a better goal threat than many attackers in our team. I hope tuchel starts using him regularly enough.

He is mentally weak even when very fit. Jorginho look weak physically but he is mentally strong. Loftus cheek still plays academy football. Odoi think he has arrived and refused to up his game, he should watch vinicious, all thanks to Bayern tho for that deal. Christensen is another weak nigga, he is easily subdued in a tenacious game, this is why I prefer Chalobah to him in that RCB.
My take : Next season Barkley and Loftus cheek should be sold, bring in Tchouameni and Gallagher. Sell either Pulisic or Zyech, sign Chiesa. This January bring back Hazard, sell Barkley and one other fringe player.

first he deleted his twitter account, man child cant handle criticism now he is using his agent to force the club's hand, they should sell him quickly, the sooner we see the end of this disastrous transfer the better things become for all parties involved particularly Chelsea, sell him january to anybody that is willing to buy even if its china, i dont care but get that person out of my club

Chelsea should do a deal with Tottenham for Harry Kane.

Good to bench Lukaku, he is not way forward in this club. Chelsea always get it wrong int he process of getting it right already, I mean you are building technical play already why sign a brawn striker with average technicality and poor pressing with no movement. This is why pep spend much, he doesn’t tolerate physical players with little technicality.

LibertyRep:
The Pope will be opening himself up for ridicule by this statement.

Someone who fornicates and the other who killed for rituals are both sinners, but one is clearly grievous than the other.

Isn't the Pope right to some extent?

Regardless of what he says or did not say, some have a closed opinion about him already.

Sexual sin is not a serious sin is what he said, he didn’t say it’s not a sin. Just as you said Hatred is a serious sin because it can lead to destruction.

Ibime:
Christensen should be offered £70k highest and told to F off if he doesn't sign.

Man is not a leader. We have been carrying his fragile confidence for 4 years, he can only fool people under Tuchel community defence

I have being saying it here, he is easily subdued, can’t withstand pressure. Sylva and Tuchel improved the performance of this squad. Individually, most of them are not good enough.

dostr4:
klopp same eleven? i have seen ox ,konate, minamino, tsimikas even milner a bit etc since the last break play, but ours its injury , what causes injury nd mistakes then? some players are just suffering burn-out atm especially the defence & midfield ..hoping he rotates in the ucl.

Aside Chalobah the defense are not even getting injured like the attack. Salah, mane, VVD, Arnold, Henderson play almost every game for liverpool. Tuchel do rotate the team it’s just that injury happened.

dostr4:
i think we will do well if lukaku drops inbtw the lines sometimes, instead of just being just stationed as the focal point, because teams will just mark u out or stop balls from getting to u..but our major issue is the team is suffering from fatigue

Its not fatigue but injury. Liverpool almost start same eleven on every match day. If there is anything Tuchel has being good at rotating the players so far. Next season we have to strengthen the team in this area; a quality winger like Chiesa, Tchouameni or rice and then a CB. Lukaku is not Tuchel type of player, this is why he could not use Giroud further last season, a swap with Tottenham for Kane will not be bad or get Lewandowski and then sell Werner.

Lost my mother 2 weeks ago, soon be back. Thanks bro.

Sorry bro. My condolences.

Trevor012:
Trash

m u g u.

I don’t just like easily subdued players. Chalobah help more both in defense and in play that Christensen. Christensen and Pulisic are easily subdued players due to their mentality. Rudiger has being struggling lately, probably because of absence of Chilwell who help both in defense and offense.

Trevor012:
Thunder will fire you. Why can't top manager Tuchel use him? Why can't Tuchel see his quality?

Is it every top manager that play ball possession and gen gen pressing. Ogun and thunder kee you. F.ool.

Trevor012:
Yet you said Pep will buy him. You are not normal. You are a confused bot

It is possible and pep will sign him, is it same thing. Didn’t I identify his weakness in my post. You are just fooli.sh. Get out please. Stupidity runs in your vein.

Trevor012:
You are a useless hypocrite. Thunder will fire you for ever criticising my darling Sir Ole for letting Lukaku go . You are not normal

Is conte not a top manager. He is not suited to ball possession and pressing play. Conte should come get him, give Kane.

Nezzjnr:
Same you that trolled us when you bought Lukaku??

You are mistaken me for another person. Btw, You guys have not done anything tangible since lukaku so shift with your Man U.

Chelsea will never learn. Why go for Lukaku, why not use the money to sign Chiesa since he is on loan at Juve.

Amoto94:
Asinine remarks are rarely seen or heard in the past but with the advent of internet and social media you hear and see them nowadays frequently that you will go weary countering them. Mount is an attacking midfielder like Bruno Fernandez though he can play as a Central Midfielder but he's ineffective and inefficient in that role because he lacks positional discipline to play that role effectively, and Modric is a CM midfielder that can play as an attacking Midfielder but he's at his best in CM role. The influence of Modric is miles ahead of Mount, in fact he nullified England midfielders in Euro 2008 qualifiers and World Cup 2018 as a CM midfielder, his ball distribution allowed Marcelo and Carvajal to bomb forward and wreak havoc in Madrid 3peats

How can you even comparing Modric to Mount in distribution and experience. Mount is like Modric in terms of influence to their respective side, doesn’t mean they are equal just that Mount possesses modric’s charisma and aura for their various teams. Mount is still young so inconsistency is expected. At Mount’s current age Modric was still in an unambitious club.

Amoto94:
Football Blasphemy!

Modric is better due to experience over the years, however Mount can be better that way too if he push hard. He has the mentality and aura to be there in three to four years time.

You're no physio, so ask questions when you're not clear on something rather than wallow in your ignorance.
Do you even know the extent of his injury?
Guy, you need to read more & become versed not just sit at your TV screen.

I understood it’s not same injury but both are back but lukaku is just being given a rest due to probably mental tiredness, I’m only saying if he is that important of a player he should’ve started since his return. In other words, Tuchel can do perfectly well without a 105m euro player. Imagine how Lewy was being rushed to comeback last season due to his importance to Bayern.

This is what I mean when I say Mount’s style of playing influence games which is paramount to winning, it’s not about stat watch football to know who is who.

OJURONGBE1:
Aside being so prejudiced towards a fellow black man like you, what else are you good at?
The coach confirmed that the lad is not 100% fit hence his bit part role since he resumed training.
Did you say Lukaku only score against small teams? Did you watch any of his games at Everton? Even at Man utd where he didn't have the best of time? Yes, he may not be gifted technically but his power & ability to score goals is very impressive.
Is scoring against Chelsea, Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal, Juventus and host of top teams he scored against in his national team a small feat?
Guy, i am tired!

I know you go emotional and call me names I never even thought of. I said Lukaku score against small and struggling teams. Havertz is more useful to this team in that false9/number 9 than lukaku and Werner, he is more suited to the way Tuchel play. If Lukaku is too good he will be rushed to the side but Tuchel already see what I am talking about too, he is just giving excuse to beat the media concerning lukaku by saying he is not fit yet. Both Lukaku and Werner got injured same day while Werner has played more games since their return lukaku yet to start. In as much lukaku is a goal scorer he has so many deficiencies as a quality player which is not suited to big teams that want to compete for trophies.

donstan18:
He’s just like a normal striker now.

That’s what I mean, he’s done being the player he use to be and his loyal fans must always understand this.

When he’s not tappin in, he’s very useless.

I understand and it is due to age. If not that Ronaldo is very competitive in nature he is supposed to be playing in a lower league by now due to his age.

donstan18:
Where has he taken ManU to in EPL?

What did he do against TOP teams this season?

Ronaldo is finished!

Do you know what it means for Jorginho to rank 3 places ahead of Ronaldo?

Ronaldo is not finished, he is not that player anymore due to age. I admire his mentality. His obsess with messi is what I don’t like, trying to belittle messi’s win is lack of sportsmanship because messi always talk good about him.

OJURONGBE1:
So, we paid £98m for a striker only to keep him on the bench to accommodate one german Luis Garcia?
Which kind bad investment advice is this?

First and foremost, do you even know the primary role of a false 9. And who told you chelsea bought Havertz for scoring purpose primarily, he was bought for attacking play generally which he is doing good so far, except the inconsistent part which is normal due to age. Nor be every player be messi wey start being consistent at 19.

Amoto94:
Hensben for the first time in a long period of time you made sense in your description of Havertz, he has this strong mentality with an ice-cold killer instinct about him. He is a roving player who plays with his head and likes to play a one-touch football.

Thank you comrade.

Ibime:
Make una free hensben

I believe he meant Havertz is mentally strong at the coalface i.e when the pressure is on

Aje you Dey motivate me.

OJURONGBE1:
Why would you keep playing him as a false9 when you have a striker who's capable of getting double figures with the right support?

Why would you even sign a £98m striker when the coach had a german atilogu to play a false9?
Does it make any business sense?
Lukaku just came here three months ago and he was fatigued upon arrival & eventually got injured, which kept him out for a month. Does that make him a flop?

Yes it make business sense because players were sold to get Havertz. Lukaku is only good at power and scoring against weak or struggling teams. He is technically average, can’t control the ball properly and lack intelligent movement. He only suit counter attacking coach in a slow league. In this Tuchel system Havertz is your best front man if you don’t know. You guys only interested in who scored or assisted, you don’t do eye test on overall play on the pitch and how that play is helping the team. Football is a team sport. Tuchel already saw lukaku’s deficiency to his tactics. If Lukaku is so important to him he would’ve been starting since his return from injury.

OJURONGBE1:
No, its an idiom used to describe industrial action.
Before it became popular with football commentary, it was used to describe protest or strike actions by unions.

I know but it can be use in football world too. Are you aware Sarriball is a football word now. In football, you can generate any term to describe whatever you want to talk about, whether borrowed or not. You can chose to be informal(using play-words) with words when analyzing football.

OJURONGBE1:
So, we paid £98m for a striker only to keep him on the bench to accommodate one german Luis Garcia?
Which kind bad investment advice is this?

Do you even know how football works, what do you mean we paid 98m pounds only to keep him on the bench, how is he on the bench. How many goals lukaku score before him injure? So when you invest you expect return with just a deal. So when you build a house for rent you expect to get the money in one year. Na wa. Who score ucl goal, nor be same Havertz.

If I say Jorginho is not known for Hollywood pass you guys will still be confuse. Na wa

When you are been called to analyze football on tv, these are the words that make it interesting . Every profession have their own words.

Lana1:
"Mentally strong with cold face" is a football terminology?
Wow. Teach us ur ways sensei

It simply means he is not phased in big games, him nor dey subdue to big games, he is very important in any big game.

Unlimited22:
Mentally strong with cold face.




Nah, personally, I feel that this boss just enjoys trolling US here. No way One person can have that many silly opinions in one brain.

No I am not trolling. If you understand football terms you will decode what I meant. It simply means Havertz is a big game player, he is reliable in big games though still inconsistent due to age. Nor be every player be messi wey start to shine at the age of 19.
