Benfica presenting tactical challenge for Rafa.

Their 3 attacking midfielders switching positions and disrupting our shape.

Meanwhile Ramires, Oscar and Mata unable to pose the same threat to their backline.

It's obvious we are overmatched on attacking options.

This is where I will bring in Mikel to slow them down by receiving the ball from the back4 and fending them off. Will also take off the Ram who is playing like a real ram.

jackbauersballs: Lol

Lekki Crib....with what money?

Which song did he sing and what show did he headline?

Inheritance na him Dr Sid dey label as hardwork.

hephem: Abeg lay off Mikel joor. How many goals did makalele score in his entire career?

Sharrrraaaap!!! Does Mikel produce 1/10th of the defensive stability Maka produced?

Whether we talking strength, ability to shield the ball, showing for the ball, decision making when receiving the ball in midfield, first touch or passing aability, Ramires is dire.

Most times, he puts Chelsea under more pressure defensively with his poor decision making by losing the ball foolishly. Most times, instead of attempting a pass, he will try and make a foolish run through the midfield. Half the time, this results in him being dispossessed and putting pressure back on the midfield and defence.

Given half a chance, I wil sell Ramires or convert him to right back. As far as his goals record, 23 goals in 160 odd games is nothing to shout home about, although most will admit that Ramires is most likeliest to score in the big games when Chelsea is under pressure because of his pace on the counterattack.

Ramires na wash jor! Is he a midfielder? Highest they can take him as reserve right back.

It's been over two years they've dropped him.

If any central midfielder should be complaining, it should be Fernandinho of Shakhtar.

Rafael is simply paying for his bad attitude at the Olympics.

Real Madrid have just made an approach for Ancelotti

Which means Jose is about to become a free agent

Y'all are missing the point.

Forget about comparisons with other midfielders.

Coogar said Lampard is useless at what he's supposed to be good at.

Now that the stats show he is on top of the list for assisters, we at least know "he is not useless"

So what is FernanDUD's next excuse?

Mata and Hazard are useless at what they're supposed to be good at?

List of Premier league all-time assisters is there for all to see.

http://www.statbunker.com/football/ktg/index.php?PL=ktgalltime&Code=EPL&statType=assist

Lampard is the highest goalscorer and highest assister in Chelsea history. Bow down biatches!!!

This Lampard must be wonderful. Not only is he the greatest goalscorer, he is the second highest assister in Premier league history behind Ryan Giggs.

nateevs: Any lies you like make you add join. I don tire to dey follow you argue.
Meanwhile I sent you a PM. Just wanted to tell you to take it easy.

Your PM is the very first Nairaland PM to go straight to my spam box. I think gmail knew exactly where to send it and I'ma leave it just there - trash!!

jackbauersballs: Looks at Ibime's chronic again

Too many seeds.

You didn't need nateevs to blow that high

Na amateur like una dey kolo for weed. That is not chronic my friend even though it looks like it. I don't mess with chronic. The THC content in chronic is 20 times what I'm smoking here. The ninja wanted to sell me purple haze, but I requested a regular batch. I want to feel irie, not get bleeped up like chronic would do to you.

Everything I've said above is true of Nateevs. He was jumping for joy when we signed Benayoun and creaming over Marin on summer tour and always shouting why isn't Marin playing. . . till he saw Marin playing and learned why.

All the other stuff I've typed is indisputable. Everybody knows it. The only one where I have used some powers of deduction is that Nateevs must be a small guy in real life which explains his distaste of players who have physical strength.

debosky: Take it easy man. . . .let the kidney stones op heal fully.

Take it easy? Jah bless, me easy mohn! I'm in Jamaica celebrating Bob Marley day. Just bought this from a yard man yesterday and the ninja Nateevs was blowing me high.

https://i41.tinypic.com/2ypbxnc.jpg

Which one does he want to deny? He thinks we have the memory of a firefly

When will this eediot stop forking talking?

Now denying he is not a Torres fan when we christened him shekpe keeper because of Nateevs constant preaching that Torres plays better football than Drogba

Now backtracking on his views on Sturridge and Lukaku. You can't whitewash your history here bro. It was with emotion that this dude attacked Sturridge everytime he stepped onto the pitch because the pressure on shekpe keeper was too much, he did not want any other striker to threaten his loverboy so he attacked Sturridge at every turn. Now he's preaching that "nobody saw how Sturridge and Lukaku would perform." We all knew their quality and have been shouting it here for over a year. Everyone knew that they are better than shekpekeeper except emotional loverboy.

Now laundering his image by distancing himself from being a Lampard hater. Even telling us recently that Lampard is the best first time passer. Yet same dude spent months telling us Lampard is hindering shekpe keeper, yet when MaZaCar failed to ginger shekpekeeper, he spent some further months telling us shekpekeeper only likes first time pass. Which one is it? This dude is confused

Someone who told us "RDM failed, not his squad", then came back at season end to tell us Benitez is working with a worse squad than last year.

This dude better be quiet right now and stop staining these pages with his backtracking and image laundering.

Those of us who've been here long enough know I fell out with this dude over Lampard issue. There is no defeat he didn't blame Lampard for and no player he didn't tell me is better than Lampard, from Diego to Pastore to Seydou Keita to Modric. I remember one particular tantrum the eediot threw start of last season because we didn't sign Pastore and "are stuck with Lampard for one more season."

From Lamps to DD to RDM to JM to Ballack to Sturridge, this dude hates everyone who's been successful at Chelsea, whilst loving every failure from Torres to Scolari to AVB, and even creaming himself over Benayoun and Marin.

I told y'all, Nateevs weighs 65kilos and is 5ft 7 in real life. He always has something against players with physical strength, while loving ninnies and poossies to high heaven. Any footballer who has some physicality is an abomination to Nateevs.

But seriously, this dude better be quiet right now, he's blowing my high!!!

Please make una leave Nateevs and his obfuscations. I am waiting for him to admit he has been a real eediot over the years but instead he keeps obfuscating issues with new arguments. Soon enough I will quote every nonsense my man Nateevs wrote about Lamps, Drogba and RDM on this site. If you don't know by now that Nateevs knows nothing about footie, you are on a long ting.

You what?

I just touched down in Jamo today. About to hit a beach party to celebrate the great man.

We gon chase those crazy baldheads outta d town. Yahmon!

chelseabmw: Who would ever thought this boy would become Chelsea’s all-time top scorer 12 years later?

Thanks for the picture.

When this boy joined Chelsea, I preferred Sam Dalla Bona in our midfield to him!

Frankie, the greatest!!

LAMPAAAAAAAAAAAAARD!!!!

I just stepped off the plane after a 10 hour flight, logged into my wireless to see if we beat Villa and my boy Lampard has fulfilled my wish for him this season

4 years ago I had an argument with one vapid Lampard hater on here who laughed to scorn the suggestion that Lampard can play at top level till 35.

Take a bow Frankie, the top scorer and assister in Chelsea history and undoubtedly the greatest Chelsea player of all time.

Fire burn haters!! How can your most hated player be the greatest in your team?

Who is this mischievous guy pulling DBRs leg?

This is how it should be done. . .

You know your sheet is wack when you have to explain line by line

Even the most complex subjects should be able to be put in verse without annotations

This is why we frown on ninjas explaining their punchlines in battle raps. Same goes for topicals

How you phrase your sentence is what prompts understanding. I remember one of my former boss who always used big grammar but the way he phrases it in a sentence would allow you to understand his meaning instantly. Same goes for rap. If you have to explain obscure concepts then your build up is faulty.

Streetwize spat indepth scientific concepts on here without once using annotation

lalaboi: Wanna know why people hate benitez?? Benayoun

When RDM made subs and tactical tweaks they all made sense, whether moving Ramires to right back or the wing or bringing back Kalou.

When Rafa makes substitution, it's to give people heart attack over Benayoun or Torres matter.

dayokanu: I think you would be irked more by a top striker who hasnt scored a league goal in the year and its May already

Leave matter. Torres just gave the ball away 3 or 4 times on stoopid dribbles in the last 5 mins of the game wey want give man heart attack, Dem just discharge me from hospital for kidney stone, Torres want send me back.

Same goes for Ramires giving the ball away twice in the last 5 mins due to lack of technique,

Meanwhile, what's up with Rafa and Benayoun?

No qualms. Win against Villa will settle the matter.

Abeg make una tell Seun to remove these new rules and regulations when man dey post.

sephia: Mikel is not a Chelsea material. Melchiot was a far better player than our mediocre DM. Lord knows how he still manages to get a Chelsea shirt. I'm looking forward to when a sensible manager will come aboard ad ship out all our dead wood.

Mikel has only survived so long at Chelsea due to lack of manager. Same goes for Paulo Ferreira. These guys win their contract from Peter Kenyon and Emenalo when no manager is around.

Any manager that's been around long enough will start phasing Mikel out.

Avram Grant dropped him. His assistant Henk Ten Caate actually fought with Terry cos Henk used to shout at Mikel everyday to speed up.

Guus Hiddink dropped Mikel

Ancelotti dropped Mikel in the last 3 months of title winning season

AVB dropped Mikel

Rafa is dropping Mikel

Any manager given longevity and transfer say will sell Mikel, the only question is who will buy him?

nateevs: Argument attempting to draw parallels while ignoring crucial facts like who had a bigger, better and more experienced squad of players. Who had an easier run in the cups. Who was loved vs who was hated from the outset etc.

Another shameless eediot on the loose.

So your beloved Emenalo spent 80m to produce a worse squad than last season

Same players you lambasted when your Portuguese eediot was managing them. You even told us after West Brom defeat to "see the rubbish players complaining about being dropped for the 3-1 Napoli defeat.

Whoever knew that Nateevs would miss Kalou, Meireles, Bosingwa or Drogba so much. Afterall you spent most of your time on here belittling those players, now all of a sudden they are better just because you want to hate on RDM.

An eediot opening his mouth to compare quality of opposition in Cup runs. Name one big team Rafa has defeated in Europa Cup?

debosky: You're free to say that, but, unlike RDM's 'pick it up in the middle' wins, Rafa took Chelski all the way in the Europa League.

You are a big eediot, a massive doofus, a conceited failure who only revels in the sound of your own voice.

RDM picked up a 3-1 defeat in the second round against Napoli and turned around to an implausible victory, then defeated the mighty Barca and Bayern, bringing the most magical moments to this club.

Rafa also took over in 2nd round (with no deficit) and saw Chelsea through the minions of Bucharest, Prague, Kazan and Basle and a self important obnoxious eediot who loves nothing better than the sound of his own voice is typing nonsense.

Lets not mention FA cup with 5-1 win against Spurs and a good win vs Liverpool whilst Rafa was busy throwing away club world cup.

Mr eediot, how are your "colleagues" at Wellington?

FBS: ^^^ninja STFU
how and why does that give you sleepless night?

Please ignore the eediot.

Chelsea was facing relegation before Benitez saved us, we bloody ingrates.

When Benitez came:

We were in Carling Cup semis. He threw it away.
We were in Club World Cup. He threw it away.
We were at the top of the league competing neck and neck with Manure and City. Now we're supposed to be grateful for competing with Spurs and Arsenal?

Or should we be grateful for beating a bunch of Pragues, Bucharest, Kazans and Basles?

mikuz: No more old school/Biggie style of rap please. We are in 2013 and not 1991 for crying out loud . . . Some Laurient Gbagbos need to be told that!
Infact what won't we here from him? No be only kama sutra like Jacob Zuma; e remain small e for tell us say en dey give modus operandis to Bangladeshi babysiters like Mahatma Gandhi.
Jacob Zuma ko Isaac Zuma ni . . .

lol. Be careful how you joke o! Some unenlightened ninjas would start taking it serious.

One ninja with no grounding in HipHop said I sound like Biggie. I did not bother replying him cos he has no grounding in HipHop and had no clue what he was spewing. I was gonna ask him if I extend my words across the end of a bar like only Biggie was known to do, or whether Biggie used multisyllables frequently or much internal rhymes. Frankly, when an eediot is talking, they are best left to it.

The ninja said I sound dated, I would have asked him whether im supposed to sound like 2Chainz or lil Wayne. Or did he not know that we had rappers that rapped like them in the 1990s and early 2000s. We used to call them wack. New dop.e is the old wack.

What happened to Thunderstorms big collabo. I wanna see the results jare.
