The problem is that the English media will never leave these boys alone with hype and then allow it to get to their heads, making them lose focus. The only English player not allowing that is Kane and players under Pep ( cos pep is disciplined.

We have players as talented as chalobah in the team, like RLC, Carney, James Gallagher etc. what we want is consistency and not dropping off when it matters. Otherwise, we will keep calling them “talented” until they reach 30. ( chamberlain, Walcott, odoi, chalobah’s brother etc.)


Talents like Chalobah are not that scarce in the academy. The problem is dropping off drastically and EPL is not a place you can afford to be inconsistent with your performance.
Chalobah problem is not cockiness but the opposite ie feeling he doesn't belong. A cocky Chalobah is capable of doing things David Luiz would do, like dribbling through the midfield

Mendy saves that Casemiro header, but y'all are not ready for that conversation...
Any goalkeeper with the reach of a 6 footer reaches that ball

It's bad enough Kepa is only 6'1 but his arm length is like that of a 5 ft 10 man

I remember suggesting him for a midfield role last year and some were ridiculing my take. The guy is good and with more game he will smoothen the rough edges in his game and dominate.
Football is a confidence game. Anyone whose played knows you will sometimes play in teams where you feel on top of the world, while in other teams you would struggle to assert yourself. Chalobah is a work in progress. If and when his confidence clicks, you would see his full technique. I don't think he'll be good enough to be a midfielder for Chelsea but if he can play midfield for Lorient, he certainly has the technical tools to play CB

Chalobah has really improved.
He always had it. Tuchel just killed his confidence after a mistake at Liverpool in January, dragging him before numerous video panels to hammer on his mistake in that game and dropping him cos of that one mistake until injury forced him back in in the cup finals.

There are very few centrebacks that can hold their own as a central midfielder in Ligue1 like Chalobah did. That should tell anyone he has the technical tools, we can see he already has the physicality and speed, the only question is whether he has the confidence (or will be given the confidence) to demand the ball and feel like part of the team. It is much easier playing CB than DM, we only need to check if he is committed to defending which he has shown

This is a boy who has pocketed Luis Diaz and Rafael Leao twice. He made ETH take off Sancho early and Rashford today

I don't think you will see any centreback capable of doing the below in midfield. Chalobah is nowhere near his full confidence yet like Rudiger was in his final season when he would just get the ball and run past players on that left. If you see the way Chalobah would receive the ball in midfield under pressure, turn and run past players at Lorient, you will know he is still feeling like a small boy in Chelsea from the way he plays. What we need to do is give such a youngster confidence, not hammer him for one or two mistakes when our established pros are even making mistakes more regularly. Below is Chalobah playing midfield in Ligue1. None.of our defenders reach this level of technique except maybe Silva.

2 points dropped in a frustrating manner

But God's promise is kept. 3 points is not promised but there shall be no defeat with his son on the pitch

28 starts, no defeat

In 37 games, Chelsea has not lost if he entered the pitch with the scores even

But fear not, as long as Jehovah's boy Chalobah is on the pitch, there will be no loss

One thing I've come to notice in this life is that people hate to hear the truth.

Kanye might be bipolar but he's not mad.....Most geniuses are bipolar and cos of this,they don't talk much....They just act, invent and discover.

I watched the full interview on DrinkChamps and Kanye was spitting facts....It's a pity the Jews control the world.

*The banking world is controlled by the Jews
*The media is controlled by the Jews
*Even the entertainment industry is ran and controlled by the Jews.

Kanye will always be one of my favorite personalities in the world.
If you thought he was spitting facts on Drinkchamps, you need your head checking. It was the rant of a full on lunatic

Please say "zendi is right because you support what zendi supports".

It's not about Labour being wrong. 40 Tory MPs did not support it either. And they did not support it not because it's right or wrong, but because their voters don't want them to support it, and if they do support what their voters do not support they'd not get votes to stay in their lucrative jobs.

Allow fracking in your own backyard, basically, and not in someone else's.
Their wahala. What shall it profit to ban fracking in your own country and buy fracked oil from USA. Germany has immeasurable untapped oil and gas reserves if they allow fracking. Yet being held over a barrel for oil and gas. Anyway I found out the Tories won the vote and fracking wasn't banned. Each field should be considered on a case by case basis, not a foolish blanket ban. Same Labour fought to keep coal mines open 4 decades ago

One of the reasons they threw Truss out was she wanted to make it easy to frack in UK.

As for economic policies, you obviously do not know there is a fundamental difference between those of the left and those of the right. Scroll up and read Ibime's post on the subject and see if they were not a mistake already.
What happened with the fracking vote. I hope they allowed fracking. Zendi is right on this and Labour are wrong

@Ibime.
Change of UK gov within 45 days. What's the real story behind it?
The story is she promised stuff she couldn't pay for and the market hammered her for it

She campaigned on increasing spending and cutting the higher rate of tax, while Rishi Sunak campaigned that we need to tighten our belts and cut spending after the monumental spend during the pandemic. She won because Rishi Sunak had backstabbed Boris, not because her economic policy made any sense

The markets hammered the pound and UK gilt and told her what they thought about her attempt to eat her cake and have it, exactly as Rishi predicted. She had to do u turn on all her policies within 2 weeks, thus looking like a buffoon and losing face among MPs. You know UK being a parliamentary system don't elect an executive. The Prime Minister serves at the pleasure of the MPS. You do anyhow, you go see anyhow.

Havertz10:
That result is an abnormality

In fact the only reason that statement even exist is because he isn’t good enough and doesn’t play enough

If we comb through the league, we would find plenty like that, rest

Result is havertz that has scored and won major competitions for the club back to back
36 games is enough. That's a full season of games.

27 starts no defeat including many massive games

6 substitute appearances one defeat. The one defeat, he came on late in the game after Chelsea were already losing

Don't argue with Jehovah

More Drones Spotted Over Norwegian Oil Infrastructure

We suspect Russian involvement in operating unmanned aerial vehicles that “can be used for espionage or simply to create fear. Russia simply has more to gain and less to lose by conducting intelligence activities in Norway now compared to the situation before the war. It is simply because Russia is in a pressed situation as a result of the war (in Ukraine) and is isolated by sanctions.

We are in a tense security-political situation, and at the same time a complex and unclear threat picture that can change in a relatively short time,” Deputy Chief of the Norwegian Police Security Service (Hedvig Moe) was quoted as saying.
Russia hating on Norway after throwing away their place as energy supplier for a senseless war

They should try it with Norway if it sure them.

Anyway, I think i've seen enough already on Potter to be uninspired. I don't think he's got it. Only a matter of time before he gets axed

I mean constantly switch Sterling from a winger to a wingback plus all dem tactical switches every second; He's not fooling anyone.

Playing Mount - Gallagher in the double pivot and Jorginho further up. He's really lucky Gallagher got injured. I mean 2 headless chickens in the middle angry

Dont know how we survived the terrible pairing of KK and Chalobah. Bad Bad. For those excited about Cobham and what-not. Lampard had those moments too. And No; this is not a biased take
Plenty word about Cobham, give us one word for generational fraudvertz, Mr sabinus.

Companies are still making money as seen in the low unemployment stats

At a time like this when markets are looking for relief, they will rally any positive earnings report from companies

Don’t you think he played a free role and wasn’t acting based on positional instructions from the managers because he was always everywhere striking and assisting?
We are talking 2001 to 2003 when teams play 4-4-2 which is the period of comparison

Then it's Petit and Lampard in midfield with Gronkjaer and Le Saux on the wings, and Gudjohnsesn and Hasselbaink upfront. That was proper CM work, not AM work.

Most Chelsea fans then including myself prefer Sam Dalla Bonna to lLampard in the CM role, and Ranieri will often move Lampard to RW to play Dalla Bonna in midfield. Dalla Bonna was an all action guy with fire shots and a touch of finesse.

So you can't compare that period to the attacking role Mount plays today.

We even had our version of Jogginghoe back then, Slavisa Jokanovic. One jogging DM like that forming regista that opposition just used to run through. Google him.

You so much love Lampard that you don’t want to believe someone will be like him. grin grin cheesy
Not at all. I used to go to SB in that period. I even preferred Sam Dalla Bonna to lLampard in the CM.

Point is Lampard then played the position Kovacic is playing now so that goal record is fantastic for that position.
