Roland17:
I am wary of having ESR/ Odegaard/ Jorginho on the field at the same, considering we don't know when Partey will be back. With Partey, on the pitch, I will be fine with it. In need of a goal, I'd rather ESR because he has an eye for goal and can also create scoring opportunities. I wish Odegaard will attempt more shots, especially when we are in search of a goal.

Xhaka has always struggled to run with the ball, it is one of his weaknesses and it was exploited when he played a double pivot. He has had a rough time since Partey's injury. I mean the entire team has struggled without Partey but Xhaka more than anyone.

Mehnnn, Partey is really the one holding this team Jara.

That Xhaka struggling to run with the ball is what is really limiting us. On many occasions where there's spaces in the midfield, if only Xhaka would run with the ball into a dangerous zone he'll draw out a defender who's marking one of our wingers thus making that winger free and a potential big chance will be created. Instead, he'll just throw the pass from that Midfield. There's a reason why we mostly create more chances and we're more deadly on the right than left. Aside from Saka being good, Odegaard is also good in carrying the ball from midfield to opponent's final 3rd.

The thing with Odegaard is that, he doesn't trust his right foot. Odegaard in Jorginho position would still have passed cos that ball will fall on his right foot. I just hope he starts working on it though

I for call e name but my Courier service line is expired

Lol.. you for hire na.

Enough courier service line dey full ground

KingTom:
We didn't do anything, if anything we missed the chance to be title contenders or at least pretenders with our performance in those two games. In any case, Jorginho is doing a fantastic job at assnal don't you think?

He is really doing a fantastic job

Ellexy:
Tuchel's Otem has caged Potter and rightly so. Chelsea never see anything.

Tuchel's Indian Otem bundus.

mostob:
Yea... I want Jesus and Partey back ASAP...
We need to keep pushing.

Once those two comes, my hope will high 100% again.

Roland17:
I'd like to see ESR get some minutes, preferably from the middle when Odegaard comes off. The man has an eye for goal and we need that more than ever now.

I'd prefer Esr to replace Xhaka.

Odegaard loves running with the ball and try to open up spaces and unlock defences, same thing with ESR. Xhaka hardly runs with the ball nowadays and it's limiting our games recently. Plus, ESR is goal hungry

I don't know if it'll be lightweight but Partey, ESR and Odegaard triumvirate when looking for goal will be the truth

ThierryJay:
Sorry for barging into this argument, but you need to match apples with apples. While you are right that Arsenal led City by 8 points after 18 matchdays, Jodera is also right with his assertion.

The fact is that Arsenal did not bottle an 8 point lead, they bottled a 5 point lead instead.

This is simply because City had played one more match at the point of overtaking Arsenal.

To put this in better context, imagine that after matchday 18, Arsenal for whatsoever reason did not play the next 3 games at all while City played and won all three(9 points). It would be wrong to say Arsenal bottled an 8 point lead in that instance because City being top is on account of playing more games.

Thank you for this big time. You just put it succinctly

MorataFC:
I wonder how many people just dey deny Potter now,
A quick reminder:
1).
Someone said we should give Potter time and that the poor form he is experiencing now is due to failure of having Pre-season with us (CFC), so the advice was that we should allow him to have pre-season with us before we can judge him.
2).
Another one said Potter is still using Tuchel players, so we can't judge him with Tuchel players, so the advice was that he needs to get his players that will understand his style of play.

Which one be "someone" ?

Why you no just call Popi directly with direct Xpress courier service?

Ellexy:
[TweetChelseaUK] Thomas Tuchel has THREE times more Premier League wins this season for Chelsea than Graham Potter. He was sacked a week into September.

Potter is going no where though, he's the chosen one for the job.

And person talk say Na Tuchel be the lower version of Potter wey Chelsea elevate.

The otem wey make and elevate Tuchel, make him come pick potter call oo

Roland17:
If you ask me, na who I go ask?

[quote author=donj.azet post=116439506]Mark my words, in 16 months, we would be right here again. At this very moment, wondering, why did the club hire a clearly inexperienced rookie to manage a champions league team?

We will forget that there were some people here who thought that an English rookie manager was the most capable hand to replace a UCL winning manager.

Supporting Chelsea na psychological Battle.[/quote]Wise words from Don J. And e no even reach 16 months

That second paragraph is so spot on sha

Lana1:
You never supported? Lol.

Blud thinks he can lie unprovoked







Motherfúcker said we should mark his statement





Cook what? Your man never even had gas blud. I hope Boli sticks with him tho.

I repeat, even Peter wey deny Jesus no do like this quarter

The guy and double mouth na 5&6

Roland17:
Short people should be supposed from using that saying because there isn't any difference from when they sit and stand.

That was the problem with Poppy's quote.

Are you saying Popi is short?

No oofeense

Shegzdave:
E too hot for them that’s why they ran back to their position😂

Leyqute:
Chill guy.

Just keep it warm.

Everyday for the thief. One day for the owner.

Lol .. na so!!

You never still answer Kokane oo

Trevor012:
😂😂

Even us as a rival fans love the inspiration Potter gives us.

Thank you Potter

Trevor012:
Name anybody 😁

Na popi and Hens.ben own I go like see

FirstbornWds:
He even quote you join sef. The myopic aba-made Fabrizioing analyst don day get selective amnesia.

Lol ... The audacity for him to deny it after his daily epistles for the past 3 months on how Potter is the best thing after ego.

Truly, Failures have no brothers

Roland17:
The humility with which he replied you was it for me

But don't be deceived, just give am 5 hours or less and he will revert.

Even the humility shock me make I no lie.

Anyways, I expect "in Potter I trust" soon from him

Trevor012:
let's go back and run it 1 by 1😁

I dey await your evergreen receipts sir

Ballzproblem2:
I never supported him I only said we shouldn't judge him early due to injuries but now he has no excuse ,Potter out!

Lol... That's not true and you know it. You wey even talk say Potter is tactically Smarter than Tuchel and that he's better than Tuchel aside from trophies. You that was ready to drag people if Potter cook cos you believed potter must cook.

I no just dey digging mode today sha so just enjoy your groove

mostob:
Elephant merely comot the tree go buy hotdogs and Pepsi, Dem dey shout. Now,the elephant is back on the top of the tree o.

This season, our bottling spirit is doing everything possible to take away the title from us but GRACE no gree am.

I just hope we go on with this winning run onwards. And I also hope Jesus and Partey will be back by next week biko oo 🙏

Leyqute:
Keep the spot warm for us guys. ✌️

The thing no warm last week?

Abi charcoal don finish for your coal pot?

kokaneprodigy:

Mgbo Leqyute... How far na

Ballzproblem2:
unlimited22 shebi you were stanning potterball I told you he wasn't that good

between you and unlimited, who is stanning Potterball pass??

Imagine? If Peter wey deny Jesus no reach this extent

Tufiakwa gi!

Roland17:
You do realize the embolden has made my point effortlessly? It also conflicts your original position and buttresses my point even more about the use of matchdays/ weekends. After matchday 21, whether outstanding games or not, based on points available at the time, Arsenal were on top of City by 8 points.

Jodera, you are complicating this thing and it shouldn't be this hard like you making it out to be. Infact, I just deleted my entire response because you just made my case.

Lol... I dunno why you're not seeing my point sha but let's just disagree to agree

ObaIgwe1:
I told you the last time that I am yet to be convinced they are following a clear template, is not just overbiding anything Arsenal or ManU price. The 1st thing is to define the style of play you want and then find the right players that can fit into that style. They have good players no doubt, whether they fit well with their style of play is another. That is the difference between Arteta process and this Chelsea process.

Looks more like Boehly instead of Potter was the engine behind the purchases.... But still to early to conclude, so 🤞

Lol... I thought with their purchases, their game play and results would improve even if their result are mixed but I thought wrong.

There's no even hope In their play sef and they only try to chase game when they're losing and time is almost up

ObaIgwe1:
No one can blame our boys for the draw against Brentford we know the match was sold by a sworn enemy, reason I didn't ask for forgiveness for that match.

I'm not even angry with the boys, I'm angry with the Var officials. If they've done their part correctly, we would have been 4 points ahead instead of two.

It's now that dropped points is even paining me more

ObaIgwe1:
You either look at the table at the end of a Matchday or Gameweek.

Like Jodera, I also prefer to check our standing at the end of a Gameweek. It makes no sense celebrating a lead after a particular gametime like you want us to see earlier today, when your opponents are yet to play in the same matchday or gameweek.

Thank you very much. Iamoyin.damola, I hope you can see my point

I wonder how we'll be jubilating 3 points over Man city today when they were yet to play their game later in the day or week.

Roland17:
My argument and position is not predictive or futuristic, it is purely based on facts.

Games are calculated by "matchdays" in European football, at least I know and not "matchweekends", that is the first and perhaps the most important thing to note in this debate. No one ever debates the EPL, including TV analysts using weekend 1 or weekend 2, they use Matchday 1, 2 and so on.

The irrefutable fact is that after matchday 21 and having played the same number of games, Arsenal led City by 8 points. Any point accrued in future games is another matchday, except the game is an outstanding game which wasn't the case.

But it was an outstanding game na. (ie man city Vs Tottenham)

I don't know about you but games are analysed purely by the present points accrued or garnered. It doesnt what Matchdays or matchweeks. If EPL analyst wants to analyse (which is mostly Fridays or Saturdays), they will do that with the present points on table at that time(not minding whether there's an outstanding or not).

It's simple, the reason we were level on point with Man city was because we had an advantage of 5 points.

ObaIgwe1:
lol.... from the look of things if Xhaka go back to his old sef then Partey and Jorginho will make more sense than Partey and Xhaka.


Hmmmm... so Forrest achieved what we couldn't 🤦‍♂️

Football is unpredictable, hope we can forgive our boys for the match against Everton, else we can accuse City of bottling their advantage too.

I'm even more angry for the dropped points against Brentford than against Everton.

With had 2 genuine points dropped not because of our own doing but because of Refs incompetence. That hits hard

iamoyindamola:
Are we ahead of city with 3 points and a game today or not
Just answer that

We're ahead with 2points.
Next week we'll still be ahead with 2 points when the next round starts. That's my point
