TeslaFC:
Lukaku? Belloti? Lacazette?

Toney isn’t the striker you think he is, especially if you watch his game.

Abraham & Osihmen might work, but that’s a huge probability.

Tbh, Kane is the only sure striker in this list, and Spurs won’t sell. His contract doesn’t help matters too. Won’t mind going all out for him though

Tottenham can sell to Man U.

You guys should stop worrying yourself you can not win the league with a CDM like Jorg, he should be sold and Kante renew and stay.

Chelsea will be very fooolish to sell Kante, all they need do is to adjust his game play.

Ballzproblemm:
let go lol ! if Kante was in Madrid do you think we would have been having this discussion

But carvalja is still Real Madrid and struggled with injury in the past like Kante now. I’m not saying we should keep Kante based off emotion but what he can do when fully fit. After all those years of running from him it is normal to go under the knife so as to return fully fit but this time, he should be used wisely. Casemiro left because of money. He is Brazilian and saw an opportunity to have a great pay rise which Madrid are not ready to give so they cashed out on him.

Ballzproblemm:
let Kante go bro ,this part of what is killing is , you want to let kovacic that is managing to play go,over Kanye that can't see 15+ matches,we need to stop depending on him , accept this

I opined Kova should stay in my previous comment but should be rotated with incoming midfielders, Jorg and Zakaria should go. If managed properly Kante still has three years of top football. He should be strictly used as CDM, no more running to and fro unnecessarily.

Ballzproblemm:
the reason I said kovacic to stay can make a good back up imo ,and you are right about that instant trophy mentality,that is what is Killing Chelsea today ,we need a good team before we can get to promise Land

Yes I said that earlier that he should stay and rotate with Bellingham and Ballera, while Kante is strictly use as CDM like in France, all those excess running to and fro due to weakling we parade as CDM should stop. Kante can still give three years of top football if managed properly.

Ibime:
The difference between Bellingham and RLC na packaging

You are not wrong, I fear any product from Raumdeuter’s league but then again he is performing in ucl. Cheek is Kova junior brother in driving and running with the ball to nowhere.

Ballzproblemm:
through talk , jorginho and Ruben for Midfield na minus , kovacic is still playing with injury

Kova is good in holding and driving the ball, but it is not enough, we need productivity in spotting runs, shooting if need arise and creativity that leads to scoring from our midfield, without this, even if you bring Halaand he will still struggle and then expose to ridicule from fans. I tell you, even if Pulisic is weak he will perform if he play for pep because of method of play or you think Foden is that good that make him productive. Our urge for instant trophies have not really allow us build a team.

Ballzproblemm:
Chelsea fans: boehly na mugu! for spending money any how on quality players


*same Chelsea fans*

Chelsea fans:- OMG our team is filled with mid players

bipolar people

Nothing wrong with the signings so far and the man really know the problem of the team and he is tackling them as they come; first we lost two CB so it logical to fill those positions which he did even if the midfield need readdressed, now he want to focus on midfield. We should go for Bellingham and Barella, sell Jorg, return Zakaria and keep Kante but this time he should be used solely as CDM like in France while Bellingham and Barella control the game, Kova and Mount to interchange with them depending on the formation.

Ballzproblemm:
another uncomfortable truth people need to hear is ,we need someone for that mount position,on days like this that he doesn't perform, not saying he is bad ,but , today on , tommorow off

Thats the disadvantage of becoming a nostalgia club by solely believing in academy boys in a league that most teams spend money in key areas. Midfield is not for kids or potentials if you are really serious to compete for trophies. But anyways, Mount is not actually the problem but our CDM and CM, if we get these two position right Mount become more useful in attacking phase.

Havertz10:
Sterling was unnecessary, tuchel for all his good was very clueless, players he chose and players he bought

Been saying it since lukaku transfer, no top coach will look at lakaka and say I want that to win a major competition, sterling is another, someone that pep couldn’t wait to get rid off, we gave him top dollar for that crap, abi is it mount that even the blind can see that he isn’t good enough, 5 years wouldn’t fix this mess, warned y’all about aubu, they said he can perform

United coach has already started working his magic, united played very well, shame I haven’t been watching them since, Ericsson is a cheat code, I wouldn’t be surprised if they fix the remaining holes January and go on a mad run, they are that good

We played nonsense yesterday, there were no positives, we will get beaten seriously in the champions league when we come up against a top teams

The sooner the inevitable failure that is porter is dismissed, the better.

They think is a coach problem. Quick fix to win instant trophies have affected Chelsea over the years by signing wrong players. Auba is not bad for back up but then again we don’t have creative midfielders. Even the quick fix they don’t do it well, I was surprised they didn’t go for Erickson that will bring creativity since we already have Kante and Kova to work for him.

airmark:
If Potter starts Sterling in our next match, then he won't last and should return to his mid table team before he turns us to one. I don't understand why he started him ahead of Pulisic today.

I was also of the opinion of Broja starting too, so that Auba could come in when tempo is down. Broja was fouled after Pulisic got a corner kick.

Thunder will fire him if he starts Sterling in our next match. Bench was good for Havertz and must be good for Sterling too.

Sterling is just annoying to watch. He wasn’t like this at man city, at least he was making move inside opponent box 18 at city he lost all that all of a sudden, I don’t understand or is he guiding himself for World Cup.

Ballzproblemm:
their problem is they where filled with many mid players, boehly came ,but the likes of omari Hutchison,Zak sturge ,casadei , Eddie beach that basket keeper ,they started dropping good performance,I expect boehly to buy more ,to turn our academy to word class, patience!!!!

Im talking of people complaining on here like they don’t know the team problem already. You have a weakling DM that is breezed past at any move and still ask why you concede late goals. When you are playing top opposition and you score they will come all out to want to equalize, that’s where you need a quality and strong DM to clean up every move.

Ballzproblemm:
look at our youth team, before boehly came in it was in total shambles!!!!,now they're making small progress,they hardly lose,why can't you have patience? why do you expect trophies immediately, instead of good football?, trust the process and keep shut, instead of whining and bitching about tuchel

I don’t what their problem is.

Man U will win, that midfield is an eyesore.

Brighton is strong with the ball.

forgiveness:
Due to injury and fitness, I understand.

it's not injury, he doesn't have clever pass and rarely shoot, he is just good in holding and carrying the ball.

forgiveness:
Kante average?

Kos average?

Kova is neither here nor there in terms of productivity, thats the issue i have with him.

Expert17:
More tears to Cr7 stans.

Messi with a goal and 2 assists.

8 ballon d' or loading.

Ellexy:
A toxic player will certainly breed toxic stans. Toxicity, blind arguments, player worship, deliberate lack of common sense, hypocrisy, arrogance, herd mentality etc.

you are right.

popizaino:
Maybe Havertz is also poor in other football basic requirements and that's why his own fans are wishing they sell him.

Well, if he sold I won’t have problem with that, I’m just saying he is not a bad just unfortunate to be in the wrong club in his early days.

popizaino:
Not a movie person.

Okay, I thought you got that editing pic from a movie.

popizaino:
This portrait will make your work easier bro.

How far bro, recommend movie that is interesting and not a seasonal one for me.

popizaino:
Why did you not make this excuse of quicker transition of the ball for Lukaku ?

Because, overall, Lukaku is poor in football basics, he is not a player for top clubs that is serious. As a top club you can’t rely on a player with poor technique like positioning and first touch. I rate Messi over Cr7 by Miles not because of number of goals but other high qualities that Messi possess so Lukaku can jam bodies and score and I won’t still rate him due to the reasons I mentioned above.

akwesenana:
In other words, he needs to be unlocked innit?

Our midfield need to be addressed before we can actually see attackers doing well, it’s not about Havertz alone. A CDM like Casemiro or Fabinho is what we need; robust with the ball, can shoot when needed and can open the game for smooth counter attack. A CM that can dictate play and shoot too with intelligent passes.

airmark:
Havertz is too soft and slow for now, his game needs to mature and I don't doubt that as he adds more years. That's why I asked him to be loaned out before the season started. Midfield is not responsible for his inability to wriggle out of tight spaces or being clueless in front of goal. Boy is showing laziness.

Why loan our 70 m player when the system of play is majorly the problem. If we get good midfielders that actually know their primary job Havertz will do well. As a midfielder you are meant to spread play for your attackers to have space and cause problem but ours is opposite.

FBS:
You know I have been screaming for a proper midfielder here cos our transition is quite slow and very much predictable.
That said, I do not subscribe to the fact that this is the best that Havertz can play midfielders or not.

He has his fault but he is not a bad player like some people here want us to believe. He is the type of player that strive when the play is synergic because he is a system player. Our midfield pass the ball after breaking counter attack chances, by then the attack have giving up running and had to return to collect the ball, you don’t transition this way and expect your attackers to be effective. It’s not coincidence we don’t have attackers that have scored 20 plus goals since Costa. Most times Kovacic either over hit the ball or under hit it, Jorg pass to Sylver or James to play long passes while cheek run to traffic for no reason and then get confused.

youngZee23:
How many counter passes does he need before he can produce anything

Like he has not produce anything before. He is a one time passer type of footballer unfortunately your midfield don’t understand clever play. Bring Halaand to this team he might even be worse than Havertz and some of you here will blame him rather than the ineffectiveness of midfielders we parade, they play predictable football most of the time.

youngZee23:
Is this also what is making him useless in the opponents 18

Which striker doesn't miss chances, i am not saying he is perfect but he can never grow because of the way we play. Our midfield can't spot runs for quick counter, they have to carry the ball to nowhere and then pass to either chilwell or james, by then opponent have regrouped. Kovacic, cheek and jorg are guilty of this. Havertz is not the type of player that have to carry the ball from midfield to attack all the time before he can score, which is making him tired and become lackadaisical, he is system player.

airmark:
How does the midfield cause his clumsiness on the ball? I doubt if he got drilled properly with slalom poles in his academy days.

Airmark baba since Costa which of your striker have score 20 plus goals in a season, what do you think is wrong? Chelsea don't play quick transitional football and no winger like hazard again to carry the ball. Havertz is a system player that will do well with other top teams that play quick football from midfield to attack, i assure you of this. I will remind you of this if God keep us alive.

FBS:
lol. Who cares? Like you are doing anyone a favor? hahaha.
Can you be honest with yourself for once and admit that Havertz is NOT playing to his true potential lately?
Mount produced one of this best performances not too long ago but we are yet to see Kai.
I try to be objective in my assessment of any player and it's mostly game by game.

Havertz problem is our midfield, Havertz is a system player which is not bad. He will be very good when he trainer to a team that play quick one two football. We don’t play quick transition football like other top clubs because of the type of midfielders we have.

zeusis:
Bar mount and maybe pulisic looking a lil bit sharp these past few weeks, I don't see any attacking threat we posess. Omo we are in for a long thing

Our midfield is the major problem, no creativity, they don’t spot runs and can’t shoot. No quick transition from them. Midfield is the heart and brain of football.
