mostob:
And to think they once had Werner and Lukaku. Tuchel na one Kain coach.

Lol.. they still had Werner bros

As long as Werner, Havertz and ziyech make 2/3 or all of their attack, EPL will mostly be happy. Na just Sterling wey dem sign don add small stuff to their attack

mostob:
If Sambi is half as strong as Partey, he will be a perfect replacement but the guy too soft

Exactly. That role is too demanding. E no need soft person at all

Until Sambi bulks up and start showing presence in defending, it'll be difficult for me to accept that he'll replace Partey easily

mostob:
Thank you. The Kuli wey Chelsea buy, we saw wetin he played yesterday. We don't know if na Maguire pro max we will later buy and by that time, we will be regretting selling Holding.

Lol, it's not as if Arteta or even Pep haven't paired same legged players in CB before. As long as we've White, Gabriel and Saliba, I'm Okay with anyone as 4th choice CB. We have other pressing issues at hand to be worried about 2nd choice Lcb

mostob:
the reason Sambi is not playing is his Physique and frame. The guy na baller. He will probably deputise for Xhaka because Arteta said he is looking for a new role for Sambi.

I know this, you know this, Arteta knows this, but Mr Spy still sees Sambi as Partey's replacement

Roland17:
I don't see how Arteta spends 35M on Zinchenko, only for him to be a bench player. ZInchenko is a more reliable and technically gifted player than Tierney but Tierney is a better defender with pace.

I have a strong feeling that Arteta may employ the 4-2-3-1 formation he used yesterday along with the bulk of the starters to start the EPL season.

Me too. I feel that's our starting 11 especially against crystal palace. There's a reason only Saliba and Gabriel where the only ones that completed 90min and that's a strong message.

I'm really positive about this season.

iamoyindamola:
If na me I go sell Tierney before he turn diaby and leave tavarez

Na another thing sha, but he's good sha. If he can be a backup to Zinchenko no problem. At least, his injury and over reliance on him will reduce.

I also like Tavarez too oo, he just needs to work on his concentration and positioning and get his confidence back. If he resolves those three issues, he'll be a very very good Lb

Spy360:
Xhaka na wayo man. The more quality players you bring to bench him the more his quality improves. Xhaka was lord of the field yesterday.

I don talk am since. Reason why I no dey always count Xhaka among people to loan/sell. The Kain "anointing" wey the guy get eh, e too strong

Roland17:
Una see this Saliba matter, I neva ready to table am for here. I even chop all kinds of insult and cuss on top this boy matter for here, receipt full everywhere.

Make my boy just carry this form enter EPL season fees, the kain dragging wen I go drag some of una for here!

Lol ... Wahaleux
All these pending violence sha

Spy360:
I agreed with you that he can play the no8 but I disagreed that he can't play no 6. He can. He only needs to add some weight. He has the technical and football intelligence to play it.

Well, at least he's proved that he can play 8 which I suspected and underwhelmed in the 6 last season.

Till he adds weight and have that presence (which he lacked last season against Southampton and Brighton) before I'll agree. Till then it's 8 for sure

, see the deleting

I like that move. Na this kinda LB we need abeg. E be like say Tierney time for bench don dey reach sha

Spy360:
You know say dem nor dey respect me for this thread. When I see talent from far I know while sitting down.

I said it here that the boy will be Partey's backup. His intelligence and footbal sense is there. He only needs to bulk up and not be bullied.

But Jodera will not agree.

You know ending of last season (like 1-2weeks after end of season) I vehemently said Sambi can't play Partey role (base 6) but with his skillset he has he can comfortably play one of the double 8 role especially Xhaka role.

There's a reason why I asked you what position he played when he played against Orlando and that's because I read it was one of the double 8 (Xhaka role) he played. Yesterday, he played same role again, so I read too. Even Arteta acknowledged he'll be one of the double 8s in one of his quotes after the Orlando game

Why I've not even called your notice to it is because I hardly watch preseason games and I wouldn't want to use hearsay to back up my points.

No worry, we go enter this matter when season starts properly

Spy360:
You see why I said no need for Holding? I can't see him play this season if both Saliba and White stay fit. Anyways, let him stay because of my friend Mostob.

Lol, I still don't agree. Europa group stage holding and either Saliba or White (depending on who is 2nd choice) will pair with him. Plus there's 5 sub rule. White can play RB, so Holding is this necessary

mikuz:
Keep track of how Chelsea fans are reacting to this loss

Their performance this preseason have been poor not just against arsenal. You notice how nobody is talking about the 4-0. What they're just being concerned is their lack of firepower

ObaIgwe1:
"Good problem" if I may add

Lol, I tell you

Havertz10:
rubbish take again, havertz’s runs are the reason why he gets so many chances, supply would be almost limitless if players were understanding themselves

If na by runs, Werner shits on Havertz, yet even Werner is criticized

Havertz runs be like runs girl. One thing both have in common is that they don't run

madrid5:
this guy should be banned from nairaland

Havertz10:
single out his performances as false 9

Isolate those games and check his stats, they are good, he struggles in certain positions and excels in some, that’s why his stats are broadly low, if he plays false 9 consistently, he would cook easily

Havertz misssing the most chances is a good thing, check the list of players that miss the most chances, they are leading goal scoring charts

they miss because they get and create more for themselves. Someone like salah can miss 10 but he might have created 30 for himself and even score 25(both from himself and others)

Havertz on the other hand hardly creates for himself neither is he clinical enough. He is nothing near a generational talent

Exonerate1:
Guy stop waffling, Havertz was our best player that night while Mount was the opposite.

Should I start calling you nights where mount was the best and havertz the opposite?

donstan18:
Generational termite

Havertz10, come and see your generational talent

Havertz10:
indeed, you are aware that there are people, even tuchel, that have stated that havertz is more talented than Dennis Bergkamp and van Persie combined

Do you have any thoughts on that?

Coach can always hype their players, it's no new thing and he wouldn't be the first to be overhyped.

Havertz have more talent than bergkamp and Van persie combined yet he couldn't do quarter of what they did individually. Let him be top 4 in a season in either top scorers or assist first then we can talk

Havertz10:
because he is generational means that he should score every chance?

He created the most big chances in the game and they weren’t offsides

Explain how the arguably best player on the pitch cost the game?

How many big chances did he create in that match? Only one

How many big chances did he create all season? How many times have he played like that since his time in Chelsea?

There's even a stats he missed the most big chances amongst Chelsea players.

Generational talent oshi!! Na only one match in 4months we go deh hear him name

Havertz10:
Capping left and right shamelessly, even Liverpool fans admit that havertz was on fire that day

on fire by scoring offside goals na.

[quote author=Exonerate1 post=115034860]Havertz chance was offside. He even put one on the plate for this bum.

was flagged offside but he was indeed onside and var would have ruled it as a goal. He didn't score it after all the time he had.

Unlimited22:
Thank God for that guy's injury, because they were getting interested in him again. Refusing to learn from Werner and Havertz.

Eaziimoney:
Lol. E dey sweet dem that time naa.

Dem be wan com dey advertise Florian Wirtz to Chelsea again sef

Another generational talent in the making

donstan18:
He’s silky and milky.

That’s what he’ll be offering Chelsea next season.

Milk and Milo.

E no go ever better for Bayern Leverkusen, my hatred for anything German in football just dey increase.

Who remembered this pix??
Only Tomi was missing sha

donstan18:
I’ve never watched a useless player like Fraudvertz in my life.

For every flop, there’s something they’re always good at.

What is Fraudvertz good at?? Absolutely nothing. Jeez!!!!!

This right here is the issue. There's nothing one can even point out and say "oh, he brings this to this team".

How Leverkusen take scam Una needs to be studied

Exonerate1:
Imagine someone who cost us two trophies winning POTY. Well na those sentimental match going alcoholics I blame.

Cost who two trophies? Mount? Lol

Havertz had a pure 1 on 1 against Liverpool in Carabao cup final with no pressure from anybody yet he couldn't score. The chance was even set up by mount if I'm not mistaken.

Anybody that cost you trophy last season, look no further than havertz.

Havertz is a fraud and rightly so. If not for mount and his contributions last season, Una for no even see 3rd

donstan18:
I no even wan talk.

Havertz supporters fit sell buhari to Nigerians again if care isn't taken.

I can't imagine how a player so poor in quality is being heralded as not just a talent but "generational talent".

As long as Chelsea keep using Havertz as an attacker, the better for all EPL teams

iamoyindamola:
Have been looking for him
Be like the guy run away with change

eweeeyyy!!!

Exonerate1:
No point in time was Mount our best player.

19/20 - Kovacic
20/21 - Rudiger
21/22 - Silva

Lol, be deceiving yasefs

Silva ko, gold ni
