I will go and buy my Cobham boys back for £40-£50m than spend £60m on Kimpembe. I've already said Tuchel should have held Romain Saiss on free transfer in his pocket before panicking all over the place for centrebacks
donstan18: You sabi ball, thou you’re always bias towards Jorginho, but you sabi ball.
The fact is Tuchel is only paying lip service to potentially playing a back4 and that is evidenced by him ignoring the DM and chasing one million centrebacks. Failing to plan is planning to fail, and the way Arsenal midfield overran that weakling yesterday is enough excuse for him to default back to his bus parking back 3
BlueMann: The Game of the season contender against Liverpool, when he attempted to head a low ball towards Mendy but ended up gifting it to Mane. Twas an unforced error.
That's OK, less than your average defenders errors per season
dostr4: Boss die the chalobar talk he cost us against liverpool last season.he had a bad outing yesterday, but getting kounde while keeping Cowill & ampadu should be priotised
Which match was that? Cos I remember EFL and FA Cup finals where Chalobah played them 120 mins each time and did not concede
For the avoidance of doubt, Chalobah conceded 16 goals in 31 matches last season, the best record of all of our defenders BY FAR, and that included some massive games and finals
It shall not be well with the ninny lovers and Cobham haters who chased away Guehi and Tomori and now trying to do the same to Chalobah. Chalobah merits a squad place at the very least, and if Tuchel wants to continue his 3 man bus parking, I see no merit in buying superstars and chasing the likes of Chalobah and Colwill away
Exonerate1: Just seen the highlights and I can't stop laughing on Chalobah. To think people here were saying we don't need Kounde.
You can misrepresent all you want.
Chalobah has never cost Chelsea a single goal in a competitive match unlike your Mr bellyache
If the purpose of signing Kounde is just to park bus in a 3 man defence as usual, then we will be very fine with Colwill, Koulibaly, Silva, Chalobah, Azpi and even Ampadu. You don't need superstars to park bus on a 3 man defence and Chalobah has never cost Chelsea a goal in that set-up. If I'm wrong, show me one goal Chalobah caused as compared to over 20 goals we can attribute to Mr Bellyache
FBS: I knew your hatred for fabregas is what is clouding your judgement. Those 4 for Liverpool you mentioned are work horses plus Liverpool play in a different way. Boot the ball to the wings for either Mane or Salah to work their magic and when they lose it, those same 4 will work to retain it. That's their job. Chelsea is not Liverpool, just as Madrid is not but then they have a Modric, City have a KDB. Abeg who do we have? A Gallagher or a Mount? Bro, it's your problem if you hate certain players, what I will not accept is saying we don't need a creative spark. Kovacic on his day is fine. Talk about other irrelevant players in the middle.
Nobody rates creativity more than me but I'm a pragmatist. If you are talking of creative position for this team, you can only be talking about Kovacic replacement and that is a no go. We have bigger fish to fry. Go and ask Zidane how creative he was when Makelele left his side. Creativity starts from a base of midfield stability, otherwise even your creative players will be confused and overran like Zidane without Makelele and Fabregas in 2015/16 that was nearly fighting relegation. Creativity kor, creativity ni
lordfalcao: to lie and make a point, barela suddenly became a DM
Barella is no more than a defensive minded CM. Let's not forget Locatelli
A club stacked with AMs like Chelsea and no DMs cannot accommodate a spineless DM like Jogginghoe that needs two defensive players in front of him to play a back4
donstan18: Jorginho is not a bad player, but for that to be clear, he’ll need to be covered by brutal and aggressive midfielders to hide his uselessness.
This is to tell you he’s not a proper DM, because DMs don’t need players to cover them, they do the covering.
He’s position-less, useless like Fraudvertz and needs to leave.
Jorginho is covered by two DM/CMs wherever he is whether Allan and Hamsik or Veratti and Barella
Which means these eediots want to make Jorginho our creative fulcrum since his presence in a back4 negates the possibility of an AM. . . while the eediots simultaneously complain that Havertz is not played in AM or that we are lacking midfield creativity.
Is that not ment? In the fantasy world of these ninnies, a midfield 3 consists of Jogginho, Havertz and a CM. Where has Jogginghoe done that before?
If Chelsea is serious about playing a back 4, Jorginho would be the first to go.
Exonerate1: Nonsense as usual. Jorginho's best football always been in a back 4 - if anything this 3 ATB limits him.
Jorginho never won anything in club football outside the back 3. Even a blind dog knows no serious team that wants to compete consistently will hold Jorginho as DM in a back 4 attacking setup. The Italy bus parking extravaganza had 2 DMs sitting in front of him, and we saw how that ended with North Macedonia eventually
FBS: You think a DM is our only problem? Open your eyes bro. Can't you see that we are struggling to create chances the moment the wingbacks can't get high enough? Na which idea be that sef? We have no bird at hand and not looking like we will even catch the one in the bush. No Chelsea supporter can be happy with what they are witnessing right now. Not even Tuchel himself.
Chelsea play with 2 central players, a primary DM and a CM. Anyone asking for a creative CM now is simply asking for Kovacic to be booted out the team which is the least of our worries when we have a spineless DM that needs replacing ASAP. Let's get our priorities right in accordance with reality and tackle the problem areas, rather than create problem with players like Kovacic where there is none. There are many ways to play football. Liverpool had the best team with Fabinho, Milner Hendo and Wijnaldum manning their midfield.
The Fabregas you are harking to is a fantasy. In reality, that man was booted for Matic and sent to Monaco where he was booted by Malians
Havertz10: let me explain what I meant, I watched the game attentively yesterday, it was clear from the start that arsenal knew that the midfield was key to winning the game, I like Jorginho but against a proper team, that midfield will be dead, especially with the players that he had supporting him
havertz kept switching positions with sterling and Werner, the few times he got the ball, he tried to play in other players, didn’t always work but I wouldn’t say that he was invisible, I want him to play false 9 freely this season, stop playing on the wing
The major issue for me, was that midfield, gallegar and mount, the suppose perfect duo to play double 8 were just playing nonsense, the amount of times that they lost the ball, lord Jesus
We were losing every 50/50 duel in the midfield, kovavic changed that and play improved in the 2nd half but it’s clear that we have to fix that midfield
Creativity is still lagging but if the midfield gets stable, havertz as false 9 can be a good creative outlet, just have to provide the guy service, ibime forget bants, we have both seen sequences that were orchestrated with havertz as false 9, that goal against Fulham for instance
The issue here for me is mount, get a right winger to pair havertz on the right and sterling on the left, we would be fine but mount and his fans want him to play every game, maybe that why tuchel is trying him as an 8 now but he is still stinking up the place
Save the shalaye. Never has a nigga contributed so little and demanded so much as Havertz. Every nigga must stand on his own two feet and stop making excuses. Mount is standing on his own two in whatever position he's been asked to play
Havertz10: If he is going to play that false 9 role, he will need service
Havertz played wing yesterday as you noted yourself. So who should be providing service? Someone who didn't play 9 still dey vex say midfield no create for no9. . . Is this not ment?
WhoDeyHause: He was bought to provide the service now he has to go to another team to get the service?
That one will keep ranting. Everything he types about Havertz and Mount, the opposite always come true. We are here two seasons later and Mount has won his POTY twice in a row, and even overachieved the XG he set for Havertz last season..Is that not ment?
OhBritannia: If you think after Chelsea's defeat yesterday and with the way Arsenal bullied Chelsea in the match and then after Barcelona won and bullied Madrid. If you think kounde will still go to Chelsea Then you better wake up from your sleep.
You can't go to a team with harvarz as your top 9 when a team with lewandosky as your top 9 is calling.
Skimpledawg: The lamentations Choke. Expectations should be low this season as a matter of fact.
Just watched Raphinha's goal against Madrid now and oh boy, what a beauty from outside the box. We will really miss that foool
Raphinha is a good player. Why I like him is he has good delivery and all his dribbles and cut ins are done with simple efficiency, not dancing all over the place
FBS: I laugh when i read this from you. Nothing phantom in this request for a creative midfielder, it was obvious today. I take it that you don't like Fabrepass but only a narrow minded football "expert" will take Gallagher over Fabrepass. Tuchel's downfall will be his inflexibility. This match was painful to watch and we are not competitive as it is. Even Tuchel knows this.
Being overrun in midfield with a spineless DM? Colour me shocked
It's obvious we don't have the players, especially the DM to play 4 ATB. TT should just kill the idea, let's hold our bird in hand than chase the one in the bush
I remember this. Long throat kill Marina instead.of accepting £33m Dormind were ready to pay which is the same.price we signed him. We've also had bids of £25m for Bakayoko which she rejected. May rain fall on Marina head today wherever she is. .
Roman could have easily done this if he wanted, he could have gone ahead with the proposed plan which was to demolish the buildings surrounding SB, but he didn’t.
The truth is that, the year 2017 when the City Of London gave us planning permit to begin reconstruction on SB was the same year it got intense between the UK govt and Roman. We for dey play our games then at Twickenham Stadium, Wembley or London Stadium, while work went on at the Bridge but all that was placed on hold by Roman, who had halted the project due to strained diplomatic relations between the west and Russia. It was the same year that my guy withdrew his Tier-1 investor visa application.
There was no way Roman who was being targeted by the UK govt then would have threw in billions into a project he will lose to his ‘enemies’ in the future. Looks like a man who saw the future, he could have invested billions into that project and lost it five years after to sanctions.
If he get sense like that, he should have sold the club then than wait till it's too late
benalvino3: it was not Civil then. I know hands up don't shoot and other nonsense. it has always been hidden. it was after Trump, desperation made it so obvious that they do it in plain sight.
Obama conducted himself civil while he is the one mainly responsible for how bad things became. how bad the institute was politicized etc. trump could not be civil because the Media was never civil. before trump became a runner, everyone likes him in the media. which means he was civil and they like his toughness... what you see about trump is a reaction. Even before anyone became a hard fan of trump, they have been called racists and a basket of deplorables. the media stoke the divide, and Obama politicized the institution. the Universities have leftist professors saying the word Truth is offensive.
Will you shut up. Which media was against Trump in 2011 when he was spreading the Obama born in Kenya lie? Which media was against him when he accused Ted Cruz of marrying an ugly wife and Ted Cruz father of assassinating JFK? The eediot came in on a politics of smear and ran his campaign on lock her up, digging dirt on people and dividing society. Civil society was aghast and decided to oppose such a vile human being. And hands up, don't shoot was a civil protest, not a partizan affair. Is it today that black people started protesting in America? When did any party ever lay claim to being behind black people protest? Like I said, you are a born yesterday fool, easily swayed by emotional culture wars that has no place in politics
benalvino3: look at who is talking about the origin of the problem, the drone who said anyone using the word mainstream media is brainwashed, the one who actively supports the people stocking the divide in schools, media, etc.
the one who refuses to listen to how government institutions have been politicized.
You still managed to blame trump
I know you entered politics in 2015 to not know how civil both sides were before the New York huckster destroyed America. The likes of Romney, McCain, Bush, Obama's conducted themselves civilly and so did their supporters. That's why I say any Trump supporter is a child in politics. Civil politics has been going on since you were busy dodging cult boys in UST and hustling for NDDC scholarships. Just because you decided to start following American politics in 2015 as a grown man doesn't mean it's been like this. Next time you see Americans at each other's throat over politics, blame Trump. Stop quoting me randomly BTW
FBS: Is a competent creative midfielder/maestro on our "shopping" list?
Not your mate Dybala!
I always laugh when I see these kind of comments about creative midfielder sha. Shebi na CAM una dey find when we already have Gallagher and Mount. Or is it a CM to replace Kovacic and Kante? How una want convince Tuchel to drop the back 3 to accommodate this phantom creative midfielder in the first place.
benalvino3: GOP candidate was attacked viciously in Newyork by a man who almost cut open his throat with a weapon on stage. what happened to the attacker? He is freed.
This is the Woketopia Zendi talks about and if you are supporting Dems or Libs, you have a mental illness. it's as simple as that.
What happened to the man who Attacked Dave Chappelle with a weapon? He was released as well without bail. before Ibime starts to Drag Celebs, Dave's own side, The Left are the ones who are trying to kill him. they want to silence him, cancel him. the right doesn't care when he says crap about them, Donald trump or Candace Owen. They may make their own videos responding to what he says and that's about it.
anyone with an ounce of sense knows when society is killing itself. it's surprising how the ones who professed to be smart do not see the writing on the wall.
he is lucky there was Hesitation
A man in California a sex offender, almost killed a woman's child with a car as her motherly instinct kicks in, she raised the stroller and shield herself and she puts herself in front of the car, the Guy now went on to Hit another car. this Guy was sent to summer camp as punishment.
you need to wonder why these people love Criminals so much.
You need to STFU and stop mentioning me randomly every time
Politics in Yankee was very civil until your man Trump introduced poison and personal attacks into American politics and made it a do-or-die affair. You could have saved yourself the shalaye above by getting to the origin of the problem as to when American society became so divided with the low-blow politics introduced by the New York huckster
