That Liverpool draw was not just any loss, it was a psychological one. That was when everything began to fall apart. I'll certainly watch tomorrow's match but I'm not expecting anything substantial.

Hmmmm....

mostob:
Our season died after that Liverpool draw. Make we put mind for next season.
Heard Rice is coming.

To me, it didn't die after Liverpool's draw.

It died after Westham draw and We're almost burying it after Southampton draw.

Just like Lazarus, we need Jesus to help us and resurrect it when all hope is lost — tomorrow

And as for change in formation. I think we need to change formation to get anything out of that game tomorrow. Pep Guardiola 3241(but what sorta weird formation is this bikonu) will certainly decimate our 433 hands down.

I'll go for 3421

Ramsdale

Holding
White
Gabriel


Saka
Partey
Xhaka (Jorginho— if Xhaka's not available)
Tierney


Odegaard
Trossard

Jesus


Saka to play wingback the way he did it against Chelsea last season, while Tierney to play the opposite wingback. Unfortunately, Zinny will miss out cos this won't be his type of formation

Partey and Jorginho to hold the midfield only if Xhaka isn't available (this kind of formation isn't alien to Jorginho at all, and with Partey by his side, his defensive frailties won't show)

Trossard and Odegaard with the creative elements while Jesus(I just hope he'll be clinical) to stretch the defence


Martinelli, Nketiah and Zinny can come in later on.

NB: I know this won't happen sha cos Arteta is someone who's always strong to his principles no matter what but I just hope there's a change tomorrow

And as for Viera. I don't know what he does In training for Arteta to select him over Trossard or ESR. I think Arteta should be more daring and take all games with all risk.

Not starting Trossard (because of any possible injuries or sort) or Jorginho against must win game In Southampton is bad judgement. A Trossard or Jorginho will give us more grip In that Midfield compared to anything Viera would have offered us.

Well, tomorrow is another day for us to still see if our season is still alive

Tomorrow is the D-day.
I just hope and pray we win but if otherwise happens, I believe the team gave their best this season and it was a good ride all along.

Anything that happens to this team tomorrow, I truly proud of them and appreciate them. I've not really been happy or looking forward to sweet wonderful football for a long time than 2022 to 2023!!

Na Dem Sabi...make Dem play heart game join... inasmuch as we concentrate on our finals, o pari

Lol... Naim sure pass

mostob:
To think I already wrote them off when their star 'couple' got injured eh...
And their first goal yesterday was delicious.
Thy will play either PSG or Wolfsburg in semi.

Lol... Mead and Viv shebi?

I think Blacki signing have been a masterstroke this season. Omo, most important goals, it seems she Sabi score am. I read she went through a purple patch these past few months but overall, she's been good and she is chipping in with very important goals .

Make them give us PSG, e be like say Wolfsburg sabi comot us wella

Bombblacks:
Webb only referred United in 47 matches over 10 seasons. That is 47matches over 360games and the record is 29wins, 12Loses and 6 draws. Where do you people get all this wide and absurd conspiracy theory from?

Eye test Sir

afrodoc2:
People are now renovating history.

Without Webb the record is 8-3 EPL titles in Ferguson’s favour.

Without English refs the record is 4-0 European titles in Ferguson’s favour.

Levels dey. Just that Ferguson and Wenger are now pals

Na wetin make dem pals be that na, both are great.
Both of dem good but one was highly favoured. Both of dem dey levels

Oh boy, I just weak

havertz..10 is shameless

Imagine stanning Havertz of all players with all your might!!

iamoyindamola:
Update !!!!!
Partey and Tierney were both in training today

Hallelujah!!!

andrew444:
He is doing a very bad job ,plus he is adding emotions

Dude will always talk down on any striker linked to Chelsea because he feels harvetz position is being threatened .

Chelsea never even Dey interested in osimhen ,just because of some suggestion from some fans here ,man begin talking down on osimhen immediately ,he is not talking down on osimhen because he is a bad player ,he is because he fears for harvetz .

Dude don’t even care if potter will even drag chelsea to relegation ,as far as harvetz is starting games ,he is satisfied with potter and will sacrifice his left balls for Chelsea to give potter a new 25 years contract

Imagine someone boldly saying only 20 players have scored more goals than harvetz ,No be the whole league be that

Dude is the worst football fan out there ,not just worst Chelsea fan ,stanning culture don take over him head

The guy dey always amuse me with him takes. Nowadays, he's sounding more like a troll when it comes to Havertz matter and like you said, he's adding emotions to it. Surprisingly and ironically, he prides himself as someone who isn't looking at things emotionally.

Imagine person coming last in a class of 37 and you claim na only 36 people pass am. How many people wan pass am before?

Nothing surprises me with Jude when it comes to Chelsea matter again as long as Havertz starts. This is person who wished for Chelsea, his club, to lose UCL final just so to pass a point but when Chelsea won he still uses that same UCL he hoped they lose to brag about Havertz better than other WC players. Makanaki something

Person wey talk say Jude no be Chelsea fan isn't far from the truth. He's just a Havertz fan masquerading as a Chelsea fan. Nothing concern am concern Chelsea and every player who's a threat to Havertz (either or Chelsea or being linked to) must be made an enemy of the state

larride:
Which yeye rivalry is that between SAF and Arsene.

The record is 13 -3 😂

They should’ve inducted SAF alone.

Without Howard Webb and ref favouring una, it would have been closer.

EPL knew this, reason why they have to acknowledge both

Havertz10:
He isn’t a 9, that much has been established

And even at that, if you tabulate stats for 9s in the league, he is number 7

You're so doing a bad job in defending Havertz Tbh!!

Who is Chelsea no9 if not Havertz?.
And how can you use 7 goals to brag about a player who's playing top 9 for a top club called Chelsea?

Just keep on writing about Havertz off the pitch thesis.

Ibime:
There are 20 clubs in the league

So if the 20 ahead of him represent the main no9 in each club, he dey toe last

That stats make me laugh walahi!!!

Imagine being a top club as a top 9 and you're still saying "only 20" players pass you for scoring.

What is "only" about that 20??

mostob:
We did it.... Barca and arsenal already in semi...
the other pair will play tomorrow.
Edu and Arteta were at the Emirates stadium to support the girls.

Make sense!!
I never knew we could turn it around!!

Big ups do the girls!
Seems arsenal senior teams dey vex this season

mostob:
But why em no leave the ball for Tierney?
Make the guy get small sense o else we go table his matter.

BTW heard Haaland is injured

Lol.. no mind am, I just believe say Xhaka(our avenger), is on a revenge mission

As for Haaland... Why do I believe it's sort of mind games by Man city so that he won't play in internationals?

BlueRayDick:
A tackle doesn't need to be malicious before person shout na. Just one careless tackle sef can end a player's footballing career. U no remember that pickford lunge on Van Djyik that sent him to the stands for almost one whole year

Lol... Maybe I used Malicious Instead of reckless (which should have been a better wording).

But yeah, it's just a coming together. Rodri wanted to take a shot in the air (leg level tho), Tierney quickly poked the ball away from him (as a sort of clearance), thus the latter's leg was at the receiving end instead of the ball. Even Tierney no shout nor vex. He knew that he was just unlucky and that's part of ball

So yeah, I didn't see it as reckless unlike the one he did Odegaard the other day. That was pure recklessness

mostob:
It doesn't mean. Why Rodri? why not someone else? So Tierney is injured?
Chai... Tierney and Partey injured, Tomi out of the season....God abeg

Lol... It could be coincidence na

Btw, I'm not really sure Partey own is very serious. I feel it's precaution. If he didn't make it to Leeds(due to him needing all the rest), then he'll surely make it to Liverpool.

iamoyindamola:
Also the one against odegaard too

That looks malicious and a very bad tackle.

But the one ystdy doesn't look like one. I watched it ystdy and Tierney was just unfortunate

mostob:
Who saw that Rodri's tackle on Tierney yesterday?
The guy get agenda seh.... to swear for am dey hungry me.

I think Tierney was just unlucky ystdy with that tackle. I don't think there was any malice from Rodri ystdy

Hopefully, Tierney injury isn't serious

Ihebu4chelsea:
Are you new to this thread? Dont you know Havertz.10 again??

There's a reason I answered Havertz.10 with that reply. Na you wey reply me you suppose dey answer this question wey you ask so

MorataFC:
na only Madrid we played against nao.
All our group games are against Madrid, the round of 16 game is against Madrid, the quarter and semi-final matches are also against Madrid.

MorataFC:
That guy is an havertz's fan, not Chelsea's.

Lol, he's just proving it more with every single posts of his here

Ihebu4chelsea:
Havertz Played a crucial role against Madrid during our last Ucl victory! I dont really like him. But he can be serious in such games.

So you mean ONLY Havertz is the reason you guys have hope of beating Madrid?

He played a crucial role last time against Madrid, fine, But is he the ONLY ONE?

let's pretend Kante(one of una overrated players according to him) wasn't more instrumental than Havertz

Havertz10:
The only reason, we Chelsea fans believe that we stand a chance against Madrid is Havertz

Admit it or deny it but we both know that it’s true, guy delivers in big games

Did it against Dortmund, Since he joined Chelsea, we have consecutively qualified for the quarter final and he always plays a role


Andrew would come here and be capping, if Barcelona had Havertz, they would still be in the champions league.

I'm not sure you even believe that lies too

odizeey:
Apart from. 🤣🤣

I bully you abi I no bully you. Now wey Quatar don buy us more bully to come.

See as e dey sweet you to type am

Thank God say e no fit be reality

odizeey:
Shey na today I don dey bully you?

Apart from Van Persie, how many bully you don bully me with?

andrew444:
I remember when Ronaldo fans tought Portugal will win the World Cup after they demolished Switzerland 6-1 ,they even all agreed he is useless and that it was time the team carried him to the World Cup

I remember how Argentina was so useless that they couldn’t beat Saudi Arabia ,suddenly the World Cup was rigged for them ,same Argentina that bottled the lead against Netherlands

No kind stupidity from that fan base wey I never see

Confused people

People who didn't know the WC was rigged until the last kick of the final pk shootout after Morocco don eliminate their idolo

I remember last season and previous seasons under Arteta where once we concede first it's literally over for us. It's either we lose that game (90% of the time) or we draw the game(10% of the time). I can remember us doing a comeback last season Once (against Wolves 2-1) and once against Tottenham the previous season (2-1).

I remember this season when I dropped a pix during preseason about how Arteta was working with the team on how he made them to play as if they're 1goal down with 15min to go. We could see how it's yielding dividends during the season.

We've been the team that hardly do comeback wins to the team that had the most comeback wins in EPL this season (5) (2-1 Fulham, 4-2 Aston Villa, 3-2 Bournemouth, 3-1 West Ham and 3-2 Man u).

We've also been the team to score 90+ winning goals the most (4) (against Aston Villa 2ce, Bournemouth and Man u).


Kudos to Arteta, the coaching staff/crews and all the players!!!

Appreciation!!

Hopefully, they all come back stronger without injuries and more Motivated after the intl break. This is the most intense and more pressured period

COYG!!
