And why did Oscar miss that? Due to poor first touch.

Spurs go begin melt now.

When they play big teams, they start with IGG till they concede, then they fall apart.

Kai!

Costa for finish the game there.

Dieeeeeegoaaaaal!!!

Great run by Eden!

Spurs done start their IGG again

We dey come for owambe.

Make we knack Spurs first

mithel:
you no dey tire for this line ...smh

Why I go tire?

Wey your fellow Chelsea fans go see legend like Lampard, begin dey tell us say Gerrard better pass am. Some go dey debate Lampard issue everyday for 6 years telling us Lampard is the biggest problem in Chelsea. Some go dey shout make Ramires, Mikel or Oscar replace am for team. Every loss or draw, them go find way to bring graph to show why Lampard cause am. When shepkekeeper no fit score sef, na Lampard fault.

Why I go tire?

I hope we are playing Everton soon. Looks like Martinez is trying to lose his job before the end of January.

And Lampard keeps proving some ninjas wrong since 2008 . . . .

Lampard moves above Henry to 4th on all-time EPL goalscorers list.

Sunderland give us another goal abeg.

mithel:
YES WE CAN....i go swear for lampard if he score today

Lampard, bastard!

Biased English peeps

Referee done already dash Liverpool 2 penalties for dodgy handballs

To add to the 13 penalties they gave them last season

But to give Chelsea penalty na wahala, despite the fact we camp in opponents box all game.

Every election, GEJ will send one train, then you hear nothing till the next election.

Same as 2010.

So what?

Yam is not a cash crop.

We shall see!

nateevs:
Hehehe. Embracing top of league despite claiming we could do it without Hazard.

Sitting on top of the league because of the likes of Hazard - a player you claimed we could win the league without.

Not sitting on top of the league because of Andre and Willian. Which proves my point.

No Hazard playing today, 3 pts dropped. End of story. This is why it was a huge error. The league is not won yet. We could still lose Hazard. And we don't have strength in depth from wide positions.



Don't be disingenuous. How do you suppose Andre and Willian would have propelled us to the top of the league with 0 and 1 assists respectively?

You make bold statements claiming Andre will score 10 goals if Eden gets injured. Tell us why he isn't doing it now.

According to you, Stewart Downing is not better than Andre but only because he flopped at Liverpool. See the numbers and prove me wrong.

Alright lemme ask you a question.

Given the choice of another central midfielder or another winger, which is more fundamental?

You forgot the only game we lost this season is the game which Matic missed.

The same way City won their games with Navas and Milner when Silva was injured is the same way we would win when Hazard is injured. The same way Schurrle changed the game against PSG when you were crying doom when Hazard got injured.

Every top team in the Prem has one World Class winger only. It's not fundamental that we should be any different. We've got other pressing priorities.

There are many ways of winning games aside Hazard dribbles. I'm still wondering how Fergie was winning league consistently with Young and Valencia.

nateevs:
I am confused. In one argument, Andre is only suited to big games. Earlier on, the argument was that Andre is not suited to possession football. I reminded you that over 90% of our games will be possession football. You don't disagree. Yet mysteriously enough, you think Andre will score 10 goals if Hazard is injured. How is he going to do that when you accept he is only suited to big teams? City, United are the two teams we will probably park the bus against. Schurrle will magically find 10 goals. See logic.



Secondly, why are you creating a situation that makes it look as though Hazard is in Schurrle's way? Rhe right side is up for grabs because Willian is only marginally better. Andre gets opportunities to nail down a spot by scoring the 10 goals you claim he will. He doesn't. He hasn't. He keeps getting subbed for Willian. Somehow though, when Hazard is injured, Andre will score 10 goals. Why he is not doing it now?

Thirdly, you are making a fundamental error. The Football of last season was totally different from we play now. You realise and you are being disingenuous with your analysis. Andre's numbers from last season are meaningless. What matters is this season. And he is not good enough. Willian has 1 goal and only 1 assist all season long in the PL, Andre can't do 5h1t about it yet we are supposed to believe he will somehow become brilliant overnight.

Lastly, Andre has 0 assists in 438 minutes. How can he possibly have better numbers than Hazard mathematically or otherwise?

Leave this long yarns. I don't want you to start putting words in my mouth or drift the conversation away from your initial argument.

I only stepped in when you made the ludicrous statement that "going into the season with our wingers was the fundamental error of the season". A statement which qualifies you for Yaba left.

When asked which team has better wingers, you started mentioning Townsend and Downing - a winger who went a full season for Liverpool with zero goals and zero assists. I think you must have drunk too much sherry this Christmas.

You are still to tell us which team have better wingers. I would like to check their position on the table. If I ask you to give me Milner or Navas stats this season or last, you will be counting on one hand, yet think that Schurrle or Willian are fundamental problems.

In past seasons, when I've said a fundamental error is going into a season with Mikel/Ramires/Torres as first choice, you see Chelsea struggling to qualify for Europe whilst Nateevs thinks MaZaCar can win the league.

When Nateevs says not signing wingers is a "fundamental error", you see Chelsea sitting ontop the league.

Failed Emenalo philosophies on repeat.

nateevs:
This is Southampton, not City or United. If you are not showing your metal against Southampton, when is it going to happen for you?

The irony of this statement when Schurrle is the one who scored against City.

Like we said earlier, Schurrles game is suited to the big teams cos he's all about the counterattack.

coogar:
schurrle is a poor man's stewart downing.



ibime, stop pulling stats from your arsē - hazard doesn't have 4569 mins from 13/14 till date and i dunno why we are even adding last season's stats to mitigate for his extremely poor performance.

is schurrle good or not?

Go to whoscored.com, pull the numbers and get back to us. Your stats said 4556, mine said 4569, a difference of 13 mins. How much difference does that make to his average - a hundredth decimal.

nateevs:
So this means what? Schurrle is better than Hazard? I won't even go into that.

Ninjahs be trying to make seem like Andre is unfortunate. If he is given minutes he will blah blah, if he is given minutes he will build a castle.

So he is given minutes like today, he is soo atrocious, JM takes him out after 45mins. If JM takes you out after 45, it's because you are very poor. This is Southampton, not City or United. If you are not showing your metal against Southampton, when is it going to happen for you?

Everyone accepts that everytime Andre is given an opportunity, he never shows what he is made of. Yet ninjahs continue to say if he is given minutes in the side, he will be better than Hazard.

So can the Andre fans tell us how we solve this problem?

Stop being facetious. You were the one pulling numbers to tell us Schurrle and Willian have only contributed şuch and şuch number of goals and assists. I told you not to try using numbers on Schurrle cos if you do, you'll find his numbers are outstanding. That's all this is. No be me go squawka go dey pull nonsense stats to use against Schurrle. We are not illiterates here.

EPL stats 2013/14 till date:



Hazard: 4569 mins, 21 goals, 11 assists minus 6 penalties

Mins per goal scored or created = 175.73


Schurrle: 1746 mins, 10 goals, 2 assists

Mins per goal scored or created = 145.50


Like I said, don't talk numbers if you trying to downplay Schurrle.

coogar:
you must be very silly!
what's the meaning of stats per season to march 2014? does the season start or end in march 2014?

hazard assists or scores - assist counts too - something schurrle seems to struggle with. schurrle is the most hopeless winger in the league & i am talking numbers.

Give to one of your stats apps and fetch us Hazard and Schurrles goals and assists and total minutes last season make we calculate am. Remember to minus Hazards penalties.

Without even calculating, I can tell you there's nothing between em, and not surprised if Schurrle is ahead sef.

coogar:
8 league goals in 1328 mins is 126.33 min/goal?

you should be shot for lying on a public forum.

I'm giving you the stats as per season to March 2014. Ain't got time to get technical with you. Even with those numbers you quoted, that's a goal every 166 minutes, better than Hazard even without penalties. You get the gist, no ninja should bring in numbers into Schurrle yarns.

coogar:
ibime, are you an idïot?
schurrle has 2 league goals in 421 league minutes - how does that translate to 126 min/goal?

If you see Demba Ba and Torres in the list, use your head. That is last season's stats.

Niggas know not to call Schurrles name if we talking stats. That's why I no bother to answer Nateevs.

For example, Schurrle scored 9 goals last season playing less than half the minutes. Thís season, 3 goals in 500 odd minutes - which is a goal every 2 games.

Schurrle scores 15 goals and more standardly every season in his career when starting.

If Hazard injure today, he will score 10 goals before the season is up.


Player. mins/Goals

Aguero. 113.00. (best in Premierleague history)

AndreSchürrle. 126.33
SamuelEto'o. 183.5
EdenHazard. 197.50
FernandoTorres. 278.75
FrankLampard. 279.20
Oscar. 287.5
DembaBa. 320.00
Willian. 603.50


If you take out penalties, Schurrle would even jump above Aguero and double Hazards goal output per minute. Who does Nateevs think he is deceiving jumbling stats together?

I done already flog Intelligensia with 8 point hit and 2 players left to play

nateevs:
A winger's job is to stretch play for midfielders and strikers. Correct! So which of Scurrle and Willian stretches play for midfielders and strikers?

Schurrle was on for 45mins made no single cross, never stretched play and was anonymous. Replaced by Willian, and again, for 49mins, Willian made no cross or stretched play.

It was not a game for Schurrle. Southampton parked the bus. There was nothing to stretch.

Schurrle comes into his own when you are a goal up, or when you are playing a better team and sitting in your own half. He holds his own defensively, and he runs from your half to the opposition box in 2 seconds and scores. He did it against PSG, he did it for Germany in the World Cup when they were ahead, and he broke the World Cup with his counterattacking. He is in the top10 of goals-per-minute in Premier League history.

Willian you play when you want to keep possession and still be solid defensively.

There is no fundamental disadvantage in Chelsea's wing play.

I would replace them with a ninja like Sanchez, but there's no fundamental weakness with them. The no of wingers on the market who would upgrade the team by replacing Schurrle and Willian can be counted on one hand.

Not to mention ninjas like Traore, Thorgan and Piazon. We get them boku. Wing play is not a need, it's a want.

That said, I would take Sanchez and Sterling if they are available, but there is no fundamental error in not replacing them.
