Mourinho is losing it. No normal coach would blame his physio for attending to a player who showed signs of distress

Yes Mourinho is losing it. . . because the board are frustrating him by failing to address obvious weaknesses he has identified and requested upgrades for.

I pray we don't lose to City next week otherwise he might become more irritable with the board like he did in 2007 when they gave him Boulahrouz and co to work with.

Wetin concern Mourinho with questioning the professionalism of a Doctor who studied upward of 10 years to know her field? Even if Hazard was not injured, you do not attack the integrity of someone of that field out of respect for the discipline she comes from. . . dem no born you well to do that. . . any doctor would be highly offended by a non medical person questioning their Medical knowledge just because he knows one or 2 things about footie

But sha, remember we could say the same about Pep and Dr Muller last season . . .

Torres also went for 50 million quid. Sheva went for 30 million. Carroll went for 35 million

If Sterling was not English, we wont have even heard of him.

David Luiz went for £50m
Lucas Moura for £40m
Douglas Costa for £30m
Hulk for £30m
Bernard for £25m straight from Brazil
Danilo for £25m
Oscar himself for £25m straight from Brazil

Brazilian hype is realer than English hype. . . so abeg make someone give us £25m for Oscar. . . dem no gree.

what's rubbish?
Sterling played a decent game . . . Reece Oxford did too!
Sterling is not worth more than 10m
shut the phuck up granpa!

At your age I already had First Class honours to my name, whilst you are busy struggling with National Open University Nigeria after failing to meet JAMB cut off.

That I am older than you is only of relevance if you have achieved anything in life in comparison to me.

Wetin concern my age with the fact that you are still writing NOUN degree while hanging out at Warribloods barber shop in Area? I never did that at your age dumbo. Keep it up.

Out of those 50 passes, only 11 were forward passes.

What kind of AM plays 4/5 of his passes backwards?

Now, let us even look at the 11 forward passes sef.

https://s21.postimg.org/6pt2tnnxz/image.png

As you can see, only 8 of those were successful...and they are all away from the box

The ones that he tried towards the box failed. Remember Sterling historically has poor passing, and I've highlighted it to you before.

A 44 million pound winger that is passing to the wing...Olorun oba o

0 chances created. Only 2 shots in 74 minutes. Both in the box, but his lack of clinical finishing was exposed again

Do I need to add that Sterling made the fewest passes in that 5 man midfield?

Or that he played like a grade 1 ode.

Is this the guy you keep comparing to Oscar?

"Everyone thinks they have the most beautiful wife at home(Except for Ibime )" - Arsene Wenger

At the end of the season, someone dropped £50m for Sterling whilst Chelsea could not sell Oscar despite putting only £25m on his head. Men lie, women lie, numbers don't. End of story.

Get lost . . . .wetin concern my age with you chatting rubbish? . . . if you achieve 1/5th of what I have at 32, your village will sacrifice 5 cows as thanksgiving.

JigsawKillah:
Not surprised! Se na Ibime. Even if he was the worst player on the pitch, you'd still give him points.

You must be mad or blind. Either you dont know football or you specialise in chatting shyte. Kindly explain what rubbish he played. He played seamlessly, very neat in midfield, linking the triangle with Silva and Toure, made 50 passes in 74 mins with 86% success.

Better people are watching footie, you are busy chatting shyte.

But don't you think we need fresh legs in the defence as it looks shaky at the moment? Terry's no more at the peak, Ivanovic is running like an old yokohama tyre, any injury to cahill may bring us to calling inexperienced player to shield the keeper. Once Chelsea shows interest in players, the team will build a skyscraper under the price, it's unfortunate.

There are 10 defenders we could have bought for sub-£12m that would do a good job.

Aldeweireld was £11.5m
Fabian Schaar was £5m
Winston Reid was free
Joe Gomez was £3.5m

Needing defenders is no licence for mumulity.

Can you explain the logic in selling Ryan Bertrand for £10m and buying one fresh-out-of-Ghana boy with VAT on his age for £21m? Even Jordan Obita would do a good job at left-back for £5m.

Even as things stand, if we make no signings, Nathan Ake and Christensen would provide enough depth.

Believe you me, stregthening the centre-back is not Jose's idea. He keeps complaining about it codedly even. It is that slimy Technical Director pulling the strings this transfer window.

It did not take Saturday’s draw with Swansea for Jose Mourinho to know Chelsea have a difficult season ahead. He has been hinting at that for weeks now, dropping little messages of dissatisfaction into his briefings, chipping away at the idea that his team is unassailable and does not require improvement.


So the slimy cuunt Emenalo has hijacked Chelsea transfer policy again. He wants to take us back to his failed policies of RDM and Benitez days. He can convince Roman to cough £55m for Stones and Rahman but Mikel and Ramires cannot be touched.

So Baba Rahman is worth 21m after one decent season? Jokers

They would say they are saving money by not buying midfielders as we have too many, then go and find 20m for one unknown kid with only one year decent record in Europe, and 30m for Stones.

Penny wise, pound foolish eediots

1. THE BOY WHO NEVER CRIED.

There was this funny boy in my primary school then who never cried,yet offends like everytime, teachers would take turn to flog him just to see tears but to no avail, a new male teacher in school who claimed he wanted to "break his jass" and thereby flogged him severally, Unclad, in front of the class ended up with swollen hands and couldn't come to school for days,in short, the boy never cried!

Na me be that. . . . all through Primary and Secondary school. . . . all the teachers tried to break me but none could. . . .

Tufiakwa. . . . get thee behind me. . .


Thank God for the 3 points this week. . . . .if you are lucky enough to get 3 points in a week like this where anyone can beat anyone, chalk it to luck.

Oscar had a good game today. That left wing is his best position and suits all his qualities. He should play there the rest of the season. I don't want to see him central again.

Ipukulubiye signing in. . . . make I go check my scores. . . .

Nihilist:
2. Ivanovic. It was obvious to anybody who had at least 1 eye that Montero was absolutely dangerous. Yet Jose did not rein in Ivan's calamituous runs, and as such Montero had a field day


4. Cahill and Terry. How many times did we see Siggurdson slip in those throughballs between that pair. Time after time Gomis found a gap between the two, and if not that the noobsaibot wannabe tried to chill the ball instead of shoot first time, we might have lost this game. He found so much space he had a goal disallowed.

5. That was the first team that won the league last season versus the Swansea we beat 5-0 last season(Plus Ayew).

2. Ivanovic gets roasted by any quick tricky winger. Me and nateevs have been saying it that Ivanovic is a weak link at fullback

4. Why should Sigurdsson be getting his head up to pick passes between centre-backs if not for a lack of midfield to close him down. The problem there is not Terry or Cahill, the problem is the midfield in front of them. Yes, Ibime will blame it on Mikel, Ramires and Emenalo.

5. The Swansea we beat last season had all their holding midfielders injured and suspended, as such they played 4-4-2 with Sigurdsson and weak-arse Tom Carroll as their holding midfielders. Why won't they chop 5 goals with such midfield? These are two different Swanseas.



Anyway, I done talk am. Chelsea would need a miracle to get anything out of this set of players this season.

AirborneLacer:
We are wasting time bringing in a top central midfielder not just because Mikel and Ramires are around but because we are monitoring Loftus' progress.

Bertrand Traore just got recalled and Jose is already talking about using him as a back-up Lb (more like a joke meant for Christmas).

What nonsense is this? Are Mikel and Ramires not marking space?

It is better to have one Witsel than have Mikel and Ramires marking space meant for young ones.

A midfield 4 of Matic, Witsel, Ake and RLC is better than Matic, Mikel, Ramires and RLC. Ake and RLC would be closer to the first team with one solid midfielder ahead of them than two useless louts.

BTW, if I could have a convo with RLC, i would give him a hot slap. Does he think he will always be competing with non-entities like Mikel and Ramires. He will not buckle up and work hard now, is it when proper midfielders arrive that he will sit up? By then it would be too late.

One more thing, Traore started his career at left-back. That's where i first saw him play at the U-17 World Cup 5 years ago.

bigkesh:
Which of the youth players are they trying to integrate??
Ramirez and Mikel are still blue,how will cheek and colkett play? Boga won't play, Musonda?
If we are selling the idiots and not buying the same quantity, then we can think of integration.....
I can give two different lineups from Midfield to attack without a single youth player....No space for them,the deadwoods are occupying the space

Correct talk. I have said it, Chelsea only needs 17 senior players and rest youth. . . as long as those senior players contribute rather than marking space.

Instead you have 23 players. . . the bulk of them are the useless Mikel, Ramires, Cuadrados of this world just blocking space.

Salah did not play badly for Chelsea except one or two games, which when you only get 15 mins every 3 months make it look bad. No, he looked a threat most times he played for the Chels.

Who is horrible is Cuadrado. His own is a different grade of horrible

nateevs:
Bro. Under normal circumstances, this will be the case.
I said this right after the second pre-season game.






3 games later and the same problems exist. We are 'one major injury to Hazard or Matic' away from a disastrous title defense. I had high hopes for Pedro and at least one other midfielder. Instead, Jose blocked the sale of Mikel and persists with using Ramires in every game when it is clear he absolute tosh. Even worse, we are trying to spend £25m on a defender.

And now we are using Victor Moses? Seriously?

Jose did not block the sale of Mikel, Emenalo did by putting £10m value on his head that made Fernebace recoil. A ninja they were willing to give away for £3m to Italian clubs last summer. How can Jose block the sale of a ninja he has no time for, a ninja he constantly benches and a ninja who he prefers Zouma in midfield over? Only Emenalo is protecting that useless lout, just like he offered him 5 year contract late in 2012 when Chelsea did not have a manager to decide on Mikel's future.

The only one I will say Jose joined Emenalo in foolishness is the Ramires issue. Real Madrid made a 30m Euro bid in August last year and Jose said "Ramires is going nowhere". Foolishness.

Despite that, I have read numerous reports that Jose is prepared to sell Mikel, Ramires, Cuadrado and Oscar. Who is preventing all these sales? These motherfvckers are blocking our progress in vital areas of the team.

Honestly, I will never write off Joses managerial skill, but I will say that he would have to be a miracle worker to get anything out of this useless bunch this season. As Jose said yesterday, Max Gradel, Wijnaldum and Cabaye are good enough to play for Chelsea. What he should have said is "even Newcastle, Palace and Bournemouth are working with certain players that are better than some of the rubbish I've got in my squad".

Nihilist:
Ramires is a liability in a central midfield. He just gave the ball away for a 2 on 2 and clear shot on goal

Fvck Ramires and Mikel, Fvck anyone who tries defending them.

Fvck Emenalo for godfathering his useless redcap brother, and having zero clue about central midfield requirements.

Fvck Jose for not selling Ramires when Real made a bid on deadline day last year

Fvck Dyabman for saying Ramires rocks

Hey Mr. Former president.













Isn't he rich enough to own a private jet abi which kain question the OP dey ask.

How would he be rich enough to own a private jet if not for corruption?

Someone who went from middle management in OMPADEC to Government.

Is it OMPADEC money that would afford him a private Jet or money stolen from Government? Have you checked Governors and Presidents salary recently?

So that fool Ramires is still at my club?


One of the tactical points was that Cesc Fabregas was used as a no.10, Oscar was dropped to the bench and Ramires slotted in alongside Nemanja Matic. The idea was to get Fabregas into the game more, reduce his defensive responsibilities and get him impacting the play again. He got an assist for Diego Costa’s goal as a result of this tweak.

Ramires though was very poor and it was his inability to keep hold of the ball in the first half that caused Chelsea problems as they didn’t manage to keep possession ticking over. He lost the ball too routinely and was unable to hold it.

Ramires, as we can see above, misplaced a number of passes and completed just 60% of his attempted 30 passes in the tie. It was a very bad performance from Ramires who didn’t command the midfield at all. He didn’t control the ball nor did he win it very well for Chelsea. He was sort of stuck. Two tackles, no interceptions and one clearance was not very impressive for a defensive midfielder.

This has become recurring theme. Ramires did well in a 4-3-3 under Carlo Ancelotti and later under Roberto di Matteo but in the 4-2-3-1 formation he has no obvious role. He’s careless on the ball and often gets it trapped under his feet when running and is not a good enough passer to fill the ball playing role of the two. He’s been used as a utility man but in truth it is because Chelsea do not have a good enough back up player in the defensive midfield area to cover for Fabregas or Matic. Ramires should be sold in the summer and a specialist player brought in. He is not good enough for this formation and for where Chelsea want to go. It’s time for them to let him leave and for the squad to be rejigged a bit, even if Mourinho envisages a quiet summer.

So Danny Rose is now better than Ryan Bertrand?

What NNPC needs at this time is a seasoned petroleum engineer with commercial aptitude, that can think outside the box.

All other contemporaries of NNPC like PedeVesa of Venezuela, PetroBrass of Brazil, Q8 of Kuwait, Statoil of Norway, Saudi Aramco, Sinopec of China, etc, have all added value to their countries, by actively buying out oil-related assets around the globe to increase the foreign exchange earning capability of their companies/countries, increasing local refining capacity on their home turf while remaining good examples of well-run commercial enterprises.

Such an engineer should drive the establishment of modular refineries to increase refining capacity at home, while pushing for the successful rehabilitation of existing ones using local expertise, as was done recently. Such an engineer should also place premium on the exploitation and commercialisation of our gas reserves in country, to drive the Gas-To-Power Programme and other such projects.

Would a corporate lawyer be able to balance all these? I strongly doubt if Kachikwu has expertise in this area.

A contract lawyer is just as needed with all the crooked swap arrangements that NNPC have in place. A lawyer first needs to unravel the rot in the organisation,

And the clowns running our technical department will find £30m for John Stones while ignoring our most glaring weakness to protect Mikel and Rami.

This week Fabregas said the only way to improve on last season is to win the Champions League. This would certainly require reinforcement in his own position, with memories fresh of how Chelsea’s midfield was overpowered by Paris Saint-Germain, Fàbregas himself resembling a man trying to run the wrong way up an escalator in his pursuit of Blaise Matuidi and Thiago Motta.

On Chancel Mbemba - Newcastle's latest signing.
This one is quite long

This is why I hate signing African players. I dont want any African player near my team unless he is bought for peanuts.

Imagine signing Baba Rahman for £18m. Sorry to say, all West-African players should come with 50% discount, because you are most likely buying a tokunbo with altered mileage.

From an accounting point of view, you can't invest in an asset with indeterminable useful life. That's how we ended up carrying Essien and Geremi on £5m and £2m per year respectively for years and couldn't shift the toxic assets off our hands.
