Countries that rely solely on crude are in for some wotowoto.

China can no longer be relied upon for rapid infrastructure expansion which is energy and commodity hungry. Chinas property market is in the middle of a monumental collapse, leading to a credit crunch. It will have a big knock on effect on commodities.

Crude Oil is at $85 today after China demand slowed 9% YoY in August

Most commodities are slowing down

Those predicting $300 crude may end up defending $50 with the way the world is tightening

Potter is a good coach, the unknown is whether he can handle the pressure to win every game.

Brighton last season went to sleep in February after securing their Premier League status and saw out the rest of the season with draws and losses. You don't get the luxury of going to sleep for even 3 weeks in Chelsea

nateevs:
I am deeply gutted to have lost Billy Gilmour and then this happens.

Deeply gutted for Levi Colwill and Hudson Odoi.

Cobham ambassador

BlueMann:
In their first 6 games, #Chelsea have covered the least combined distance (450.95 km) of any team this season. #CFC ranked 7th this time last season.

If you rank all PL players by distance covered, a Chelsea player doesn't appear until Marc Cucurella, who ranks 120th. �

This right here, is part of the problem. And it was conspicuous especially against Leeds.

It's been clear that preseason fitness work was ignored, same mistake Mourinho made in 15/16

raumdeuter:
When compared to rivals, Arsenal spend the least and with this seasons spending if Arteta had started like last seasn and dwelling around relegation he would have been on the hot seat

Spending money puts pressure on you to deliver. You cannot ask for money, be given and now come with excuses

You don't even follow spending.

Arsenal spent more last season with signings like White, Odegaard and Tomiyasu. They simply have the patience of Job

BlueMann:
Wow. Things are moving quickly.

Wetin happen

nihilistjnr:
This is actually hilarious.

As in Hilario!

I thought that nigga Japa with Roman

His only ever role was as a spy for Roman. He's somehow translated that into 15 years of salary

FBS:
Like every single attacking player was played out of position. Such a mystery we struggle to score goals.

The player that suffered most under Tuchel is Pulisic. I don't remember the last time Puli played left wing since Madrid semi-final in 2021, which is the only position for Puli.

I refused to join those castigating Puli cos I saw what he can do in that position during lockdown and for USA. Anytime you see Pulisic these days it's either at RWB, right wing or somewhere else. That does not suit his dribbling style

swiz123:
I appreciate the Job Tuchel did at Chelsea, every true fan should be grateful.

But then, the new management needed competitive in all fronts and Tuchel's tactical mind doesn't seem to work against teams that sit back and sadly, most teams we play against sit back. He couldn't proffer solution to the conundrum and had to go.

We are an ambitious club and must stay so no matter what.

You will finally agree with me that Tuchel was a bus parking manager.

End of the day, Tuchels poor relationship with his attacking players and the way he suboptimised them in favour of defence came back to bite him.

He could have struck a good balance by having a strong and robust midfield and DM that would allow Chelsea commit more to attack while maintaining defensive solidity.

popizaino:
Was he sacked when he won the league ? How was that football we played in 2010/2011 called beautiful kwanu ? The same season we signed Ramirez ? you are joker. Don't distort history some of us have firm memory of what happened pls?


He won the league in his first season and lost to inter milan in the round of 16 in the UCL and the following season we were someone abysmal in the league,if my memory serves me right we even lost to Arsenal for the first time at the Emirates in the league,he still lost UCL quarter finals to a bitter rival Man united but some way, some how,he would have won the UCL for us because he went on to win the UCL with real Madrid 4years later. If you are emotional about sacking Tuchel then it is your problem but don't start distorting history.

Chelsea 2010/11 fell apart when Ballack left and they imposed Ramires on him, who was an Emenalo recommendation. Our midfield was horrible after that

Lets not forget how his assistant Ray Wilkins was sacked without consulting him, Emenalo was made his assistant who he did not want (and shunned), and a washed up Torres was imposed on him halfway through the season

Nigga really suffered from Roman meddling that year

Trevor012:
Na Aubameyang I pity for pass

Na that signing baffle me pass when combined with this sacking. That signing was the utmost symbol of backing for Tuchel cos club won't go all out for such an old and expensive player unless the manager really wants it

donstan18:
Bohely you can do this....

Round this shiit up!!!

Arrest him for fraud.

I think the Saudis may be the power the throne

The way broke Boehly was splashing cash when he doesn't have it looks like it's not investors money but a country money. They even massively overpaid for Chelsea at £4.2bln when Manure is valued at £3.75bln. This sacking looks like what a Saudi prince would do. How do you go from discussing new contract with a manager to sacking him in 2 weeks.

Boehly should reveal the power behind the throne abeg

This Boehly is mad sha.

Why give the man £250m to buy his specific players only to sack him after transfer window closes

Man is moving mad out here.

Did someone say Hazards 5th goal from open play in UCL?

Who be this Mudryk at Shakhtar?

Book of Banternation

Chapter 6 verse 9 - 18

9: Then the word of the lord came through his Prophet Larride, in the land of the shekpite saying; Listen to me ye children of Shekp for the lord of banter has sent me to you this day.

10: Then the people of the land of Shekpite did gathered in the square from their elders like Ibi the son of Ime, Nihi the son of Li, Balo the son of Rus, Iz the son of Zou and all the descendants including Sege the son of Ed, Don the son of Stan and all their families

11: Thus prophet Larride began to give them the word of the lord of banter saying; Ye have enjoyed your years of plenty, Ye have rejoiced in your plenty and scorned your neighbors who live in the land of Assnal. Thou says the lord of banter, this is just the beginning of your travails, you will go to battle and return empty handed, the basket of thy keepers shall be filled with goals.

12: Thou shall see your northern neighbors from the land of Manchester succeed and win trophies but your land shall remain desolate with cobweb just like your neighbors Assnals. This shall come to pass because thou had transgressed against the lord of banter.

13: I have heard rumors among you, rumors of protest like TuchelOut, verily I say unto them, this shall not happen until your once trusted commander Tuchel has turn your land into ruins.

14. This shall be so because thou hath followed in the teachings of the mad man Don the son of jazet who led a crusade against the one that brought you many victories and glories, ye hath insulted and disgraced him out of your land, therefore shall this disgrace follow you until you atone for your misdeeds.

15. Thou shall banish don the son of jazet from among you, purify yourself with ash and sack clothes maybe the lord of banter will have pity on you in the next five years. But be sure of this, say the lord of banter, your suffering shall be much and well televised

16: Ye have also been following in the teachings of one who call himself an Apostle of the lord of banter, Skimple the son of Dawg, thou says the lord of banter, do not listen to him as he will lead you astray, send him forth out of the temple and let him eat with the mechanics at the bus stop.

17. When the children of Shekp heard these words, they rend their clothes into 2 and began to wail saying "Please save us lord of banter, do not deliver us into the hands of our neighbors lest they mock us" they put on ashes and sack clothes and cry day and night but the lord of banter ignored them because they must suffer.

18. So prophet larride went out of their land, went his way and sharing the words of the lord of banter.

You done come again

Last time you gave scriptural prophecy we won UCL

Ziyech should be fined one months wages for those freekicks and body language

So TT is really playing Ziyech as a outside winger that can't dribble to spam low percentage crosses?

Fofana is somewhat of an Otu on the ball today

I did not expect this level of technique for £70m at all

Koulibaly is overweight

Who brought Ziyech on in this game abeg? Whoever made that decision needs a hot slap

This Sutalo guy in Zagreb defence is balling

See clear pass wey Havertz miss.

Whoever called this guy no10 needs brain scan

Unlimited22:
How do we always look like we're a man short when we're attacking?

Because we only attack with 3 and defend with 7

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Boehly should arrest Tuchel immediately.

Sacking him would be a total loss
[/color]

swiz123:
Anyway, when will ibime accept his L that Jorginho and Alonso made us play 5 man defence.

So far Jogginghoe has not been replaced, the 3 CBs continue. It's a shame that he is even losing his place to CMs

Havertz10:
Indeed, I wonder why Tuchel keeps shifting mount deeper into the midfield

why is our best attacker treated like that despite being our highest goal scorer and 2 times player of the season

Guy is not good enough, sell him yesterday already

Bailly Opinion supersedes evidence against Mason mount?

Because he is a midfielder first before an attacker, and the guy Jogginghoe ain't performing

Havertz10:
Been saying this for years and it’s not just united, even the blind can see that Mason mount is trash but they still promote him because he is British, ironically England manager is also clueless and plays him too

https://www.nairaland.com/7319044/bailly-man-utd-should-avoid

Bailly is talking about Maguire and has been making these complaints about Maguire for years you somehow managed to link it to your clubs two times player of the year. He even said such nonsense doesn't happen at Chelsea. Na wa for you oh

benalvino3:
Centrica, UK's largest gas supplier, seeks billions in additional short-term financing in case the energy situation deteriorates, FT reports.

This is normal if you know anything about business. Suppliers keep enough cash flows to restock inventories at normal rate of business at normal prices. If suddenly asked to fill up storage immediately at four times the price, they won't have cash flow on them for that volume at that price, yet they have a government mandate to fill up volume. It's like a business being asked to grow in size by ten times overnight, they'll need a loan to do so. They'll still make record profits, what they don't have is cash on hand to fill up those levels of inventory.
