The World Cup will probably decide the ballon dor

Jesu. Almost 3-2. This Chelsea defense just dey leak

FBS:
Not my discuss but you calling him "joke hart" already show your bias.

Sorry boss, just saying

Nah. I was only being jovial. Joe Hart was a very good shot stopper. It’s just that his blunders can be very comical.

andrewbaba44:
Allison is not a better shot stopper than Joe hart

Is this argument tied up in semantics?

Joe Hart is a fantastic shot stopper. You can also argue that he is a better shot stopper than Allison — although IMO, the difference would be very minute.

In terms of overall goalkeeping, Allison is definitely better than Joke Hart. I don’t think Liverpool would’ve won their sole title under Klopp if Joke H was the one in between the sticks.

I thought he won January

1 Manager of the Month award don bellefull Carrick for us. We’ve had 2 this season already. Let Arteta pick up the next 2 awards.

mostob:
I fear they might give Carrick the MOTM based on the new manager bounce stuff

God forbid bad thing

nitrogen:
Thank you. Carrick messed up yesterday. Full stop. Let’s hope he gets the boys to bounce back. We play once per week, slow tempo football should not be a feature at OT at all. The intensity is zero. And the game yesterday was about getting a draw.

We are not a team that plays with intensity. We have always played in this languid manner under countless managers for over a decade now. This is on the players.

Someone was asking why Malacia doesn't play. This is why.
He hasn't been on the pitch for over a year and has never been useful to any manager since his signing and still the club won't sell him. One od the many baffling decisions this club continues to make.

He should’ve gotten tighter to Osula. Same with Magwaya. They gave him too much space and time.

Unlimited22:
Once una play two games a week, it all falls apart.

Like a house of cards

Magwaya’s slow passes are a poison.

Story remains the same. We need to lift the baseline of our team. This entails replacing peeps like Dalot and Magwaya with people who are better than them. If not, we’ll keep going round in circles.

Imagine how terrible the performance would’ve been for the last few weeks if we were still in Europe and the FA Cup.

andrewbaba44:
You people are doing well ,but why loosing against 10 man Newcastle who got an early red card ? I was expecting a draw at worst

Na so them dey do jare. They are clueless against a dogged defense. And some of those players are uber useless. They lack the spirit and ambition to win consistently. They can’t surprise me again.

We’ll probably beat Villa at Old Trafford (our next match) because Emery won’t change his approach to the game. He’s going to wanna play expansive football and a high line that Mbeumo will lap up with gusto.

If they congest the midfield and plan their counter well, who is Magwaya to stop them?

Make dem sha qualify for UCL next season. Useless team.

andrewbaba44:
Na una dem deliver for banter las las 😂😂

I swear 😆

Never relied on those players to win against Newcastle. Voiced some concerns before the game started. Our performances have been poor for the last three weeks. There’s no way nemesis wouldn’t catch up.

Na to see if they can bounce back remain.

AirBere:
@ leyqute I told you we'll flog them. I predicted 1:3 but it seems there's jara

Enjoy the win. Your next game is vs Newcastle.

Lana1:
With two different managers if I might add

The players are good enough to finish in the top 10. I don’t know why you guys are complaining.

See Mbeumo

raumdeuter:
Semenyo since January in the league for City 5 goals
Airmark Doku in 3 seasons for City 7 goals

Surely this can’t be true.

andrewbaba44:
All the epl big boys are playing

The gods suppose deliver one person for the culture

Chelsea 😆

May God not allow that Newcastle counter to click.

That forward three of Elanga, Gordon and Harvey Barnes fit cause wahala.

Sportsweb:
Popizano this is for you.

Chelsea have conceded 7 goals from corners in Liam Rosenior’s 13 games, a record that represents a significant defensive deterioration since Maresca’s departure. Dropping 19 points from winning positions this season is further evidence of complacency.

(@JacobSteinberg) #CFC

Did you consider the fact that he enjoyed watching those games?

AirBere:

It's Aston villa Vs Chelsea not Chelsea Vs Aston villa. Difference dey

Since we're away from home, I'll say 1:3 final scores.

Okay.

Chelsea 1-3 Aston Villa. Ase gun!

AirBere:
@ leyqute I told you Barca will crush them at home but won't qualify.

4 nil was too much!

Prophet AirBere!

You said it and it came to pass. Authentic ✅

Chelsea vs Aston Villa today. Who will win? I need sure odds egbami 🤲🏾

fredoooooo:
Leyqute your wolves is at it again o

Maybe they’ll avoid relegation. They just need to keep winning. They’re about 11 points from safety.

popizaino:
It is not far-fetched to think the player with most key passes in the league should be higher up with most passes irrespective of where he plays if we really claim to know football.

In fact, he was higher up in volumes of passes but was undone on the log by his passes completion, which is about 81%. Understandably,his passes are more offensive with maximum risk,not the usual passing between defenders that makes them rank higher.

My picture post was just to illustrate how football has changed with defenders leading the passing stats while midfielder dominated it a decade ago.

Or when did it become a poor grasp of stats to expect Bruno Fernandez in a stats that once featured the likes of Santi Carzola and Yaya Toure?

You could’ve stated that clearly in your earlier post. Since you’re known for infamous opinions, it’s not surprising to read meaning into your posts.

That bullet wasn’t stray at all. I expect a strong comeback from Popi tho 😆

mostob:
One guy did a Chelsea-Arsenal combined 11. He picked Sanchez ahead of Raya.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you are on a pedestrian bridge, Shekau holding explosive on one hand and this guy dey hold plank, run towards shekau

🤣🤣

Ellexy:
Heard Maguire is a doubt for the Newcastle match. That leaves Yoro and Heaven as the only fit CBs available.

Shaw might not be available too.

We now have De Ligt, Martinez and Maguire injured. It’s high time we start having capable players who are available for most periods in the season. Having all our senior defenders out injured is just terrible.

popizaino:
The successor is surely better and i will back him over and over again aginst Maresca.

Chakam 📸

popizaino:
Say wetin?

That we shouldn't have allowed Maresca to resign? I would jump into 3mb than to do that.

That you shouldn’t have calibrated it like the New Yam festival and blindly backed his successor

BenNash:
Once a manager performs excellently, they'll say that squad is actually the best or whatever. Marseille that was stinking all over the place before De Zerbi got there. They were even doing wonderfully until recently. Don't know what changed.

The noisy fans. They hop on the bandwagon of any coach whose team is in form. Once that team’s form hits a snag, the noise dies down.

We suppose create betting pool on how long e go take Popi to turn his back on Liam. 10k says less than 1 month.

popizaino:
For anyone who cares to listen,Rosenior is a massive upgrade on Maresca, take off the maresca veil and watch football. We drew qarabag, lost to Atalanta, made leeds look like klopps Liverpool, lost to Sunderland, lost to Brighton, amorim's utd piped us before even the red card

No worry Popi. You eye go soon clear.
