"The only way Nkunku can play" as how?

Defensively Nkunku is a liability so having him, Palmer and Enzo in same line up is sure way to lose games. So a solidified midfielder to pair wit Caceido is needed. Nkunku was supposed to be starting instead of Jackson.

Ibime:
You've started jumping out the window without knowing the players attributes again

Later you will deny him like Apostle Peter

Well, if he doesn’t do well I will criticize him, no player is above criticism.

Ibime:
Touch looks a bit heavy on few minutes of highlights I've seen

Gallagher lacked that final third cleverness if not he would’ve being the best box to box to pair up with Caceido

andrewbaba44:
Wetin Joao felix do self ,poor guy

He has been decent for you guys ,who loaning him to Milan ?

Na wa oo

We are signing another Caceido in Essugo, it’s the only way Nkunku can play while Felix become surplus to requirement.

The only way Nkunku can play. Welcome Essugo

A Chelsea fan who witnessed the greatest champions league robbery of the 21st century is typing this bollocks.

This one is bad too but Madrid are just worse. Madrid have robbed Bayern three ucls by cheating. Cr7 won’t even be mentioned near Messi if not for Madrid’s fraudulent activities. We all can see how useless he is for Portugal in tournament. Ronaldo only had one genuine season that he was really good which was 2007/2008 for Man U, the rest was stat padding in dubious way.

UncleHaba22:
If na wetin u wan dey watch bdis na u go tire
There was one R. Carlos use hand catch ball ref say nothing happen

Na why I Dey always attack cr7 fan trying to talk down Messi’s achievement. Most Ronaldo’s goal in ucl for Madrid were offside and diving for pk.

raumdeuter:
Should I deploy Ogun on your head

We are talking of Kova here not Enzo

nateevs:
Proud Kovacic Stan here. One of the biggest mistakes we made - selling Kovacic and replacing with Enzo. A Kovacic/Caicedo midfield right now would have been strong.

I tell ya, kova was always driving the midfield with Chelsea and would’ve done better in current Enzo’s position.

Sportsweb:
E no go ever better for Mateo Kovacic.

He spent 4-5 years at Chelsea but wasn't scoring this much. To make it worse, wasn't shooting outside the ball like he's doing at City

Its a chelsea thing, we excel when we play conservatively, most times, it was good for the team but bad for most players including Kovacic. I believe that pattern of play is what this current owner want to eliminate by overhauling the team and signing ball holders in every position.

lordfalcao:
if I show you Epl strikers missing lesser hard chances than that, what will you say now?

I mean that specific chance. This time, Jackson didn’t miss and didn’t even try to. I know he is not a fully established player yet, he should be shooting from there is my point.

Kimbeast:
Maybe this angle will paint a better view. Take note am not absolving Jackie of blame but Palmer pass was just ridiculous.

Palmer put the ball in that empty space for Jackson to run to and shoot the ball inside the net, that’s how to position the ball for easy goal

Kimbeast:
Spread to ball to this position? Take a look at the position Jackson was able to get that awful pass into control.

Jackson didn’t get to the ball in this position even at that, good striker will still score from there, Ederson was already unsettled.

nateevs:
Colwill is 21.

Reason he shouldn’t be starting against top teams.

bisqit:
look at that haaland goal, if it was miss Jackson it would have been a lost course

You wan kill Jackson to score that type of goal. Person wey go dey count legs until opponents defense regroup.

bisqit:
All he needed to do was tint his body to the left to enable him place the ball with his stronger right foot. Ballzproblem2 and drisham should continue supporting mediocrity

Another option for him since his left leg is dead. Strikers are scoring this type of chances on every match day, they will score one this weekend also.

Colwill has always been rubbish in big games since he came here.

lordfalcao:
even the people that claimed to play football cannot see that the over hit pass bounced before Jackson could catch up with it.

Ndi I played football.

Jackson is awful as a striker bruv. He ought to be on the bench if not that Nkunku couldn’t adapt to new tactics/formation aside 352 formation. Nothing wrong with Palmer’s pass. I don’t want to refer you to OGs, go watch other Epl striker this season and see the angle they are scoring from unlike Jackson. A striker that can score from tight angle that one na striker.

swiz123:
Palmer should have scored that goal 💯 or at least square the ball like a professional player. Blame him first before blaming Jackson for not being a Wayne Rooney which everyone here knows he's nothing near to that standard.

Palmer's stupidity cost us the game, simple.

Palmer is an attacking midfielder with sense so he did the right thing Jackson made that pass awkward with his movement after seeing the pass, he look scared before even getting to the ball. He is awful in front of goal. Nkunku, Enzo and Sanchez have to go for us to really compete for any trophy. I mentioned these three because they were meant to be first 11. Colwill and Jackson need to be on the bench for proper signings like Isak and Tchouameni.

Kimbeast:
Stop looking at fake still images that doesn't show you the pace of the ball. Here's the highlight of the game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJKOBsBMvcg?si=I7Or3Rbe70jXO0ss


Fast forward to the Palmer pass and screenshot the exact moment Jackson was able to get that ball under control. That's how you would know how ridiculous that Palmer pass was. Take a look at Jackson position in both screenshots. Palmer pass took Jackson to Armageddon.

If you play football before it won’t take you seconds to know that Jackson doesn’t have sense and instinct as a striker. Nothing wrong with that pass because Jackson wasn’t ahead of Palmer so the later did the right thing to spread the ball it just take a left leg to score that type of pass. If as a striker, you need an excellent pass to score then striking is not for you. Jackson didn’t trust his gut and left leg was the problem.

airmark:
He was afraid of missing an open net, maybe because his legs are not straight according to Ibime.

If we fail to sign a better striker this January then the Senegal juju dey strong.

He is a bozo and using chelsea to learn how to be a striker. i don't blame him though.

airmark:
He didn't face empty net unlike your wasteful Jackson.

I will easily score this goal with my left leg. Ah Jackson! Na wa!

Ibunkun1:
That Colwill na another pretender for that defense

Cowill is soft rio Ferdinand. Maresca is beginning to get on my nerve with his arrogant attitude.

This is someone that call himself a striker in professional football, I mean, what’s difficult in using his left leg to score this goal without even thinking of holding it. SMH

Without the ball Enzo is not mobile, his game will suit la liga more. I want to see midfield of Tchouameni, Santos, Caceido, Palmer and Lavia next season.

Btw, Palmer shouldn’t have thought of passing to Jackson and go for the goal.

Last season, Poch dropped Sanchez and we became stable to a certain level but Maresca insist on playing him this time, this alone is enough to shake already shaken defense.

Colwill is not all that to be guaranteed first 11 shirt, Tosin would’ve done better in this game; his passes and threat in set piece would’ve helped.

From here, I expect three winning streak. No excuse.

Both struggling teams but maturity won the game.

forgiveness:
Enzo should just go like that? Are you people wishing to build a world class team or what? Tchouameni for what?

Tchouameni is equally good too.

bisqit:
what's your thought on caicedo playing rightback

With Fofana beside him he was good there against Tottenham.

We have Andrey Santos it is better to let Enzo go end of season and get Tchouameni. Enzo is good but he will flourish more in la liga than in epl so for his own good he should move on.

bisqit:
he also relegated chukwuemeka because he doesn't like his face when the boy can play

Emeka and Madueke have attitude and work ethics problem. Most coaches don’t accept that.

drisham:
As how?
Enzo is off limits and shouldn't be touched pls


And not for someone like thcouameni

Caceido will take his place while Tchouameni play as number 6.

I’m in for this swap. It will be win win for both sides.
