Silentgroper:
Make we no lie .


PSG player were already fatigued ...

Even nuno Mendes no show today and for some weird reason him no bomb forward, at some point it looked like he was playing a back 3 ..
.if Enrique has allowed him to bomb forward supporting kvara, game would have gone differently..

Chelsea annihilated them. Give us the credit. You think he won’t want to go forward but we were just too good in this game.

BlewMahn:
Na him get am, forget

Palmer deserve it. Dembele is not fit to be crown ballon d or.

We are Champions….Mehn James shamed me today💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

lordfalcao:
gusto can match him in speed and energy levels more than James. Then James can offer extra robustness in our mildfield. (See him as our Fabian Ruiz) in this game..

Which Fabian Ruiz? Same James that don’t understand midfield patterns is who you are banking on. We have lost this game before it even started.

Thecassanova:
I’d start

Sanchez

James - Colwil - Tosin - Cucurella

Caicedo - Santos/Lavia

Palmer

Npedro - Jpedro - Jackson

Jackson npedro assisting James cucu & pressing high up. Solid midfield with a solid palmer & pacey wingers for counter attacks & JPedro as 9. Long aerial balls from Sanchez towards jp or Jackson in wings. We should not try playing from the back at all. Replace Jackson with Madueke if available.

This game is a great test for Maresca.

This one think say na Bournemouth we Dey play; Enzo and Palmer in midfield against psg? If Maresca play this midfield against psg I go know say him nor get in-game understanding.

The real number 11 heir going forward.

Katcall:
Nkunku i saw risk his leg to score the winner against benfica is not lazy

So Benfica and PSG are the same in terms of quality. You don’t know their strength lies in wing play and midfield.

Gucciboy:
Maintain a four defense, den deploy caceido, Enzo and lavia in midfield. To go band for band with vitinha, Joao neves and Fabian ruiz. Then play palmer Joao Pedro and Neto up front.

4-3-3

Is Lavia fit? Will Maresca not go with lazy players like Nkunku instead of what you just said?

Katcall:
whats your thoughts on Jackson playing on the wing

He doesn’t have that ability to play as a winger, even Nkunku is more useful there than him.

diggz:
Aside from Madueke and Delap, Jackson is one of the most affordable attackers in our entire squad. He is not Haaland, Kane, or Lewandowski, but he is one of the few forwards who can consistently chip in with 10 to 12 goals a season, along with a few assists. Below is a screenshot of his PL stats. Make of it what you will.

Nkunku and Madueke should go then…

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.

Ballzproblemm:
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.

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.

MorataFC:
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.

Enzo5:
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.

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.

Ihebu4chelsea:
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.

Katcall:
Players to be sold post CWC
Madueke, Jackson, Sanchez, Broda shile, Sterling, Veiga, fofana, Guiu, kdh, Felix, mudryk

Wait, how can Mudryk even be sold if he’s banned for 4 years? 🤔

My line up against Fluminese;

GK- Sanchez
RB- James
CB- Chaloba
CB- Tosin
LB- Cucurella
CDM- Caceido
CM- Andrey Santos
CAM- Enzo
LW- Palmer
RW- Neto
ST- Joao Pedro.

CAPdan21:
Make we hold you responsible if this one nor perform as e don dey sweet you again...

You didn’t update me about Enzo again. We made top 4 and won a trophy and Enzo is balling.

This Joao Pedro’s signing sweet me for body.

airmark:
Timbros and co wasted my time arguing nonsense for months, now they have scampered for safety because of the impending vociferous attacks.

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

Ibime:
Formation is OK except for Badiashile inclusion

Ireti always does something infuriating even after getting some things right

Pep spirit is in him.

rooftops:
You and maresca na the same WiFi una dey use... How do you carry your best midfielder to another position when you have three right backs if i am yo add josh

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

teeshet:
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.

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.

airmark:
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.

airmark:
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.

He is replacement for Marc Guiu but can bench Jackson too so we still need a first team striker.

Nuno Mendez is currently the best left back in the game followed by Cucurella.

Any difference between Delap and Broja?
