abeg let person hear word ,player wey you don watch once for your life you don dissect finish,X factor or Y axis Bruno fenandes not get,na pk my guy tey dey survive

You are wrong. And for the record I don’t judge players base on stats, I watch them to know their dos and don’t.

airmark:
I pray for injury not to truncate his career.

I can see determination to excel in his eyes too.

I don't want to call him the new C. Ronaldo yet.

Amen to that.
The guy is talented, determined and serious( what I so much admire in footballers)

Havertz is naturally a shy/reserved guy. He is not one to shout and scream all game (wot u call passion ). He does his talking by his performance on the pitch. He is a bit like Ozil in that regard. His body language might seem like he is uninterested at times but it's far from it...

I understand what you’re trying to say but my statement wasn’t referring to shouting as passion but the will to want to make something happen on the pitch is what I am talking about. This wiliness is not about talent but mental determination to want to cause positive change,it is called X factor and what I saw in Bruno’s game. Pogba lack that reason the club have been spending in same area to unlock him. Havertz kind of has it but still on the potential stage for a club like Chelsea and he is still very young. Havertz is good no doubt and will come very good if managed properly.

Nezzjnr:
Wtf does Pogba has to do with this Hensbrain

Why didn’t you ask what Bruno has to do with that. Try to be open to criticism, it helps on your way up. Irrespective of banter here I’m a football fan before been a club fan so I can call out any footballer when stating my opinion kiddo.

English players always have relax/passive mentality except Sterling, maybe Kane so filling your team with them is equal to not expecting trophy any time soon.

babatundey5:
Looking at werner game at brighton playing from the wings will limit his run, cos he will has a lot of defending to do, playing him with giroud require a 4-4-2, where he can always run into space available behind the opposition backline.

You have a point. 4-4-2 is not bad either but the player to execute that is not available except Havertz’s play will be limited again. Maybe 4-2-2-2 will work. Mount and Havertz to play behind warner and Giroud.

BlueAngel444:
beast like chamberlain, shaqiri, lallana, that RBS former winger dem buy, .

is it today u knew Odoi plays more like an attacking midfielder than a forward

Odoi is young and can be taught by Klopp at this age, you know he like to catch them young. Those guys you mentioned have passed learning stage for Klopp to teach basic. Lol

schurley:
You really drawing a conclusion of Havertz ability after just one game?
I think it's too early for that calm down small

No, I’m not. It is what I have noticed in his game since his days at Leverkusen. But like I said he is still young and has great personality for his age, that alone will probably help him going forward.

spillo1:
LMFAO....This is straight up bullshit.

Pogba go off mentally, he doesn’t have leadership on the pitch. He is the type that when his team is loosing he is the first to have a brain fart to worsen the situation.

To be honest, Havertz is just like Pogba, they don’t bring that X factor into a team rather ice on the cake type of play. Bruno is better in that regard. I love serious and determined footballer with talent, that even if you are having an off day on the pitch your present will still be felt. Havertz is serious and determined but his play is too soft, he should try to go hard a bit(he is still young though so I will excuse him for now irrespective of his signing fee). On the other hand, pogba play is hard but he is not psychologically matured, hence the lack of X factor in his game.

Loftus cheek play like nothing is at stake, a mid table team mentality. His positional sense to receive the ball is/was average, can’t move into space to receive the ball, can’t drive the ball forward properly when with it. His off ball movement is average too, can’t win the ball back from opponent.

My preferred line up against Liverpool(4-2-3-1 formation); kepa; Azpi sylva Zouma Chilwell; Kovacic Kante; Mount Havertz Warner; Giroud.

Lampard should be telling Odoi to always try to attack when with the ball instead of passing backward. He is a winger for f sake. This is why I like coaches with man management skills. If Klopp handle a player like Odoi he will turn beast, he is too relax for my liking.

timbros:
Are you sure "Costa" will play normal? Won't he flop?

Of course, your instincts are usually correct

capitacee is the most pained yoonited fan currently. Her/his rant is more than laisisi own.

Loftus cheek na dirty. Na English media dey fo.ol chelsea board to still keep him till now.

raumdeuter:
Salah has played just 1 game this season and he is a couple of goals from matching some of Drogbas season in goals
Drogba wey play 9 seasons in EPL and scored single digits in 4 of those
Fact is that Drogba onyl scored more than 12 league goals in 2 out of 9 seasons

I don warn dem make dem stop this Drogba EPL hyping else his nyansh dey ready to be exposed

Was Drogba penalty taker like Salah?

spillo1:
Name just five unknown players please?

I mean to say normal player that would end up adding massively to the team; JS Park, Vidic, Evra and so on.

patrickmuf:
When we were trying to sign Ighalo, I said we should rather look at Inngs but folks here shouted the idea down. Inngs later went on to have a magnificent season...Low profile but will do a job when called upon and won't complain a out being on the bench.

Sometimes, we don't want to talk just so we don't start an argument that will drag on for days here. Look at Leicester, how much did it take them to assemble that squad? A fraction of our squad's worth but they play very good football...See Castagne that was signed to replace Chiwell, dude played RB and was excellent yesterday bombing forward at every given opportunity but Ole opted for Wan-Bissaka for 50m...

I don't think Leicester City have missed Maguire at all and how much did we pay? 80m...SMH!


Ole has to do better this season even without further additions if not he should be shown the door...

Under SAF, Man U were known to sign unknown players that usually do well but this days they just sign one over hyped player for outrageous fee and it started with pogba.

Kimbeast:
I see no scenario that mount won't be a certified starter. Mount may have to rotate in and out sometimes with Kovacic.

Against small teams mount will be used, Kovacic will be used against big teams.

raumdeuter:
My problem is that I know that Lampard was the coach who first played Pulisic in Chelsea and he ended the season trophyless

Total signings under Lampard is now over 400M and he must win this season else he is a fraud

He first played Pulisic but he is not his signing. That’s the point.

raumdeuter:
Lampard signed
Pulisic $88M
Kovacic $50M

And he couldnt even make top 3

Lampard wasn’t the one that sign Pulisic and Kovacic. What’s your problem nigga.

raumdeuter:
Just like Lampard who got Pulisic and Kovacic and didn't win a spoon so....

Lampard was not the one that sign Pulisic and Kovacic. Whereas, pep signed those players in his first season and didn’t win anything.

Prectega:
No jokes

Sun? Lol.

Godx:
It's more than jazz. I am beginning to suspect something shaddy with how Chelsea sell their players and the bogous amount they claim. Selling costa for 60million when it was clear he wanted to leave and Chelsea were ready to sell as well is shaddy. 60million for oscar as well. Something is not adding up at all.

See Jealousy for broad day light.

madrid5:
Bayern are wise unlike Madrid,man u, Barca,Dem nor dey waste money and it works(they are champions of Europe for instance)

Not that Bayern are too wise, they do transfer with relaxed mind because they are not in a competitive league.

raumdeuter:
Did Lampard tell you that? Pulisic and Kovavcic already gelled so he must win like Pep did in his 2nd season

Pep spent in his first season and didn’t win so..

Lana1:
Pep flopped his first season but he never finished outside the top 4 despite spending £200m in a season like Conte

But Conte won epl without spending 200million

CapitalCee:
Losing a best player who scored 1 goal a season. And ghosts UCL.

So let me ask you.
Didn't Man u lose Lukaku? a striker who scored 34 goals last season and Man u Highest scorer for the 2 seasons he was with us. Ole have to replace him with an 18 year old academy boy. Is that not a constraint?

Didn't our Captain Antonio Valencia leave? Didn't Vice captain Young leave? That ole promoted another academy boys Williams and injury prone Tuanzebe to fill their position? Is that not a constraint?

Oles best player was injured all season and immersed in a transfer saga. He only played 1/3 of the season. Was that not a constraint?

Bruno as best player last season came only in February. Was that not a constraint? Moreover when Ole signed Bruno, the transfer ban on Lampard has been lifted.

The squad lampard inherited finished 3rd, while united finished 6th. So Lampard had the better squad + Kovacic and Pulisic+ a group of young stars scattered all over the world.

I think you should check you dictionary for the mean of the word constraint

How did you loose lukaku when you chased him away from your team. Stop been irrational and be logical. Hazard was a key player for Chelsea and if the club have their way they would’ve asked him not to go unlike Lukaku.

DExponential:
On you. Wasn't it you guys that said that he hasn't won a spoon, has a heavy first touch, doesn't score against big teams etc. Now he has left a HUGE hole that can't be filled by Ole. Same Ole that chased him away . Scummies sha ☹️

Scummy don’t put things into perspective before talking.

Lana1:
You think say Lingard sef no wish to win Balon D' Or?

No be managers Conte and Pep be? Managers of two top teams expected to win the league. Conte was even defending champion.

Yet "Pep Fraudiola" won the league while Don Conte spent 230m to finish 5th.

Pep overhauled man city to win the league whereas Conte did with Moses and Alonso and with a team that finished poorly previous season.

Is this a joke or what?

Go check yourself

raumdeuter:
Owen won balon dor before Messi

How does this correlate. Owen won European ballon de or not world best. Figo won it that year.
