European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by hensben(m): 3:04pm On Jul 09, 2025
Both players lack the maturity and mental sharpness needed at the top level. Rather than keep waiting for potential that may never fully develop, it may be smarter to cash in while they still have value.

Why not just sell Madueke and Jackson? These are two players who have consistently shown poor attitude and underwhelming performances on the pitch.

Madueke often plays with his head down, lacks end product, and seems more focused on flair than effectiveness. Despite multiple chances, he hasn’t demonstrated the maturity or discipline required at this level.

Jackson, on the other hand, has struggled with decision-making, finishing, and positioning. More concerning is his body language and attitude when things don’t go his way.

BREAKING: CHELSEA TEAM

Sanchez
Gusto Chalobah Tosin
Caicedo Cucurella
Neto Palmer Enzo Nkunku
Joao Pedro


Strong line up
Nkunku is lazy to track back while Gusto is prone to error. Not strong enough against a Brazilian side that are known for hustling and bustling of the ball.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by hensben(m): 7:01pm On Jul 08, 2025
Maresca seems to be underestimating the opponent again by starting Gusto and Nkunku.
Why not start with James and Andrey Santos, take control early, and then lock the game down in the second half once we’re leading?
It just feels like we’re making things harder for ourselves unnecessarily.

*Fluminense completed the group stage unbeaten, before defeating UEFA Champions League runners-up Inter Milan in the last 16 and Al Hilal in the quarter-finals.*

*Fluminense are unbeaten in 11 games across all competitions (eight wins, three draws) keeping six clean sheets.*

*🔗 Chelsea FC*
It’s Maresca’s lineup that will determine if we can beat Fluminense.
The right setup and strategy will be key in a match like this.

That’s just it.
Below is a post from one frustrated Chelsea fan about him.


My submission
Madueke is undoubtedly talented, but football isn't just about individual skill, it’s about how that skill contributes to the team. His tendency to hold onto the ball too long, lack of awareness to team work, etc etc .
The goal of any player especially a winger is either to score or create assists . Even if you complete a thousand and ten dribbles in a game, it amounts to nothing if there’s no end product. Until Madueke starts playing more for the team and less for personal flair, it will be hard to fully rely on him in a serious setup.
Add that, he always looks moody and uninterested on the pitch. It’s hard to rely on a player with that kind of attitude, especially when the team needs full commitment.

you want to keep lavia for finals?
Lavia isn’t fit yet to start the semi-final. He’s still working on his recovery and isn’t fully ready for that level of intensity.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by hensben(m): 4:33pm On Jul 07, 2025
Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke are two footballers Chelsea need to move on from if the club truly wants to progress. Their decision-making and overall contribution in the final third have been frustrating. The attack would function much more effectively without them in the picture.

Na you go buy them? Clearing our deadwoods remains the hardest task in this TW.
Players who aren’t wanted are generally easy to sell because they’re not on high wages, except for Chilwell and Sterling, who are on big contracts.

Timbros and co wasted my time arguing nonsense for months, now they have scampered for safety because of the impending vociferous attacks. grin
This is why I gbadu your football knowledge, and you really have time to be arguing with them. If only they know number of chances our midfielders create to be wasted by the likes of Jackson and Madueke. SMH

Because we look stronger with this set up. It will be very good in knockout games against decent or top side.

so you will sit and watch garnacho miss chances upon chances as a chelsea fan
Garnacho will serve the team better than Nkunku. Moreover, he will not be starter because Gittens is coming, except he improve.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by hensben(m):
If only Maresca could start this line up against Benfica we will win;

- Sanchez
- Caceido(inverted RB).
- Tosin
- Colwil
- Cucurella
- Lavia
- Enzo
- Palmer
- Neto
- Madueke( if only Sancho is still here or we already sign Gittens).
- Delap.

Ofcourse, we still need a more experienced striker as our main striker. Delap should be starting at the World club cup and not Jackson, still.
Sure.

Appropriate picture to inform Jakujaku Jackson that he has been replaced in front of goal.

Timbros come outside, I'm about to be appointed at Chelsea. grin
He is replacement for Marc Guiu but can bench Jackson too so we still need a first team striker.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by hensben(m): 11:54pm On Jun 04, 2025
Nuno Mendez is currently the best left back in the game followed by Cucurella.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by hensben(m): 5:59am On Jun 01, 2025
Any difference between Delap and Broja?

A relegated EPL team makes more than Barca and Madrid combined. How exactly is the 2nd biggest league In Europe this poor despite having two goats for nearly 8years. La Liga has to be more marketable than this.
Football politics from way back between Real Madrid and Barca caused it.

When I said Enzo will be moving to Real Madrid to replace Modric some peeps in here said it’s hensbenic take. His move to Real Madrid will be win for both sides. Enzo pattern of play suit la liga better while we get another CM because of a truth I don’t really fancy Andrey Santos.

Salah is rated ahead of hazard ,his numbers are too good to ignore ,he pass hazard for everything aside pure football

But I won’t lie ,I don’t enjoy watching salah sha
Yes on nairaland he is rated ahead of Hazard by few. We are saying same thing
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by hensben(m): 11:28am On May 20, 2025
Never seen any player idolizing Salah but on nairaland ‘he is better than Hazard’. I guess late tap-ins and penalty rarely show the whole game’s performance.

If they are serious they will qualify ,only 2 points behind Chelsea and 3 behind city

They will surely pick up 3 points against Leicester in their next game

I believe the last game against Chelsea will decide at their home ,Chelsea are the favorites ,but never say never
At this point we just have to keep on winning our games, no room for depending on others
