Omo utd playing rubbish. No creativity at all… overhitting passes

Back passes a lot, can’t even cross into city’s half. Same thing Chelsea were suffering from two seasons ago

Dis is d first time I will be supporting dem to win in a very long tyme and they are playing rabish

diggz:
We should do everything possible to sign Kelleher from Liverpool asap. Dude is literally everything sanchez is not and more. Kelleher is quite impressive for his age, and I can only see him improving with time. At £35mil, he would be an absolute steal.

Is Liverpool ready to let him go?

Chelsea have won 6 in a row for the first time since Thomas Tuchel in 2022.

Chelsea’s last attempt at 7 in a row was against Brentford, that ended 4-1 in Brentford’s favor. Chelsea’s next game is against Brentford.

Let's get it done tomorrow

Liverpool with a Slut coach from Eredivisie is topping the table despite having a game less

Shey na league be that? Slot for no waste his time in Holland when mumu teams full epl like this

If Liverpool can play 10 men and dominate like this, why do they need 11 men for games

The league you're talking about has three of our teams topping the UCL Leagues. Why didn't you mention Leipzig, your team from the Bundesliga, which is currently in 4th position domestically but has failed to secure a single point out of a possible 18 in its last 6 UCL matches? Leipzig is top 4 in the Bundesliga but bottom in the UCL.
How come?

Unlimited22:
Popizaino, e remain 3 goals

Popi is not concerned about whether Liverpool wins, draws, or loses. His major concern is that they must not break Chelsea's record once that one is achieved, any other thing can follow. 😆😂😅

raumdeuter:
This is the competitive EPL

1 man down, still na Liverpool dey press. If you turn on TV you would think its Fulham down by 1 man

This man, you still get time to watch another match? Abi you no know say your team dey play rn? 😅😂😆

michigang:
have you gone bananas? At seventeen, messi was not going to bench ronadinho, giuly, deco, xavi, larson, eto and other senior players in the team as a junior player

Thank you, that's exactly what I was telling him, he wouldn't even make the bench in Messi's era of a star-studded Barcelona team.

Bombblacks:
What exactly are you arguing about? Messi made his debut at 17, Yamal currently is far better than Messi at that same age. How exactly is that controversial. Messi best year as a teenager was at 19 going to 20.

Bombblacks:
At 17, Messi had only 1 game for Barca. How exactly is it even controversy.

You're speaking with conviction, but your points are derogatory to Messi's status.

The Barcelona team Lionel Messi broke into at a tender age was already stacked with established players. If that team existed today, Yamal might not be in substitute sef, let alone be in the first team lineup.

It's Barcelona's financial constraints that led to the promotion of academy players like Yamal into the first team. This circumstance gave him the opportunity to prove himself regularly. In contrast, when Messi broke into the Barcelona team, he had to contend with already established players, making it more challenging to overshadow them.

In Messi's time (and with the set of player$ Barca have) this Yamal will not see bench.

😆😅😂
We dey here.

In anything you do, just pray that you will be at the right place at the right time. If Salah had played for Man City, these comparisons wouldn’t have happened. It does not matter how good you are, if you find yourself in a bad place or team, that is what people will use to judge you.just Imagine like saying Aguero is better than CR7 in England because he has 5 EPL titles, while Ronaldo has just 3.
Foden who was born yesterday, has 6, while Harry Kane has 0. Ederson has 5, while Alisson has 1. And imagine dragging Almighty Cech into a comparison with Ederson just because he has more EPL titles than him. We are in an era where you are judged by the acheivements of the team you play for, not by what you play for the team.
But personally i will pick Igwe ahead of Salah.

🗣️ Estêvão: "I really like this celebration (by Cole Palmer). Ever since I signed with Chelsea I said I was going to do this celebration.

We exchanged ideas, I'm happy to have this contact with him."

There is (Reece) James who said that if I needed anything I should speak to him, Thiago Silva spoke to me in that last game. He said that the club is top and they are waiting for me with open arms."

Estêvão became the youngest player in history to win ESPN Bola de Prata Aposta Ganha Award, the only one to achieve the feat under 18 years of age. A record that stood for almost half a century.

The best young talent in the world… 🧬

While no final decision has been made, Chelsea have been told to expect between £50-60M from their participation in the 2025 Club World Cup.

Enzo Maresca:

“We need our fans, home and away. I will tell them now in this moment that we need them against Brentford. It won't be an easy game so we need them to help and push us."

On if Chelsea's win over Spurs is his biggest as manager:

"I don't know, to be honest. I'm not thinking about this. For sure, it is an important win. First of all, for the way [we won]."

"To come to this stadium against this team and then concede two goals, and continue with the same plan shows how the players in this moment are mentally strong."

"Personally, I don't consider this game as the biggest win. I've said many times, this team is going to win games against big teams and it is going to lose games against big teams because it is football. The only thing I focus on is how we can improve."

"Marc [Cucurella] said to me after the game that he tried to bring emotion into the game. It was probably too much."

"It probably was the perfect win for this motivation because we go two goals down, it was the worst picture even if we were in control."

"We conceded two goals because of Cucu and a couple of chances from where we wrong in the build-up. We create chances, we controlled the game, we keep the ball. Then at half-time, we changed something tactically, we deserved to win."

On Chelsea's mentality:

"Very happy. Since we started, we are trying to work in the way we want to play on and off the ball. Also, the togetherness. To come to this stadium and think you are not going to suffer, it's impossible."

"We were ready for that. It was probably too much to give away two goals in 15 minutes but it is the perfect win."

"Since we started, I have not seen Cole shooting penalties. he good thing about him tonight was Bissouma was marking him man-to-man, so he needs to learn how to play against a team that goes man-to-man with him, but he was fantastic."

On how Cole Palmer is so good at penalties despite not practicing:

"Because Cole belongs to that kind of players. They are not normal players, they are top players."

"Top players do things that normal players, or us, cannot do that. It's because he's top. We can expect this from him."

On Romeo Lavia:

"Unfortunately he felt something in his hamstring in the last minutes of the first-half. Now, he was working without pain."

"I don't like to lose players for five, six or seven games in a row. Even if Romeo was playing fantastic in the first-half but we changed because he had a problem."

On Cole Palmer:

"Loves football, humble, no strange things and this is the best thing for Cole. Today, young players, if they play one good game they already think... and then they lose the balance. Cole is always the same."

On tactical tweak at half-time:

"There was no problem, to be honest. I think the plan first-half was working well. We were attacking, in control of the game but conceded two goals. I was very happy."

"In the first-half, we had Cole Palmer on one side and Enzo Fernandez on the other side. In the second-half, we had Cole Palmer on one side and Cucurella on the other side. We changed something in behind."

"It was just for this reason. I think it worked well in the end and we won the game."

Levi Colwill:

"We have still got a lot to improve on, when we're ready to push for a title we won't be 2-0 down in the first 10 minutes. That's the level we need to be at and that's what we need to keep working on."

On Levi Colwill's comments:

"No, exactly. After the game, my message to the players was to be focused day by day, in our session, the next game on Thursday and then Sunday."

"The main focus has to be to enjoy the day off and when we come back, 100%, train well, go for the game."

"But the fans are getting ahead of theirselves"

LMAO 😆 😆

nateevs:
He's being too aggressive with a very simple point. I think what he's trying to say is simply.....'no Chelsea fan should demand that Maresca wins the league this season or the next. But if it happens, then we should take it'.

no no, What he actually said was that any Chelsea fan who thinks we can put up a title challenge this season or next is delusional, he never talk of winning and merasca was not in the subject matter.

Realtord43:
so you mean maresca can't achieve what Conte did in his first season?

Remember, Chelsea were badly out of form, when Conte arrived, same as when Maresca took over.

It's not out of place or too much expectation if will expect Chelsea to win the league, it has happened before and it can still happened.

What he said was title challenge not winning.

Liverpool has consistently posed a title challenge to Manchester City for the past 3-4 years, while Arsenal also mounted a strong challenge last season. The point being made wasn't about winning the Premier League outright, but rather about presenting a credible title challenge. I'm not claiming Chelsea will win, as only time will tell, but to have said if any Chelsea fan believes we can pose a title challenge this season and the next season as 'delusional' is utterly out of sense.

Capaldi:
You can get offended if you want. Any Chelsea fan asking for Maresca or any other coach we replace him with to win the league this season or next is delusional and should be locked up.

Take a look at your own life, lying with confidence. What you said was; any Chelsea fan who thinks Chelsea can challenge the EPL title this season or next is delusional and should be locked up in a mental institution.


Meresca was not part of the subject matter.

Capaldi:
Any Chelsea fan talking about title challenge this season or next is just delusional and should be locked up in a mental institution.

StarchAndBanga:
He didn't have an average game..

Pls rewatch the match with ur functional eyes

Why are you replying to him? The guy lacks manner in his approach. He's the same guy who said that every Chelsea fan is delusional and that we should be locked up in a mental institution.
Just because we believed if we miss this season EPL, we are a strong contender next season.

Arizoner:
There was nothing wrong with the boot. He just had to change it to divert blame from himself

Clap for yaself. Cucu's PA.

Vischy:
This is what Jackson achieved today

Unlimited22 mentioned it, but my overwhelming excitement for the goal that was scored too away our awerenesss, making many of us fail to notice it @ dat moment. 😅😆😂

Silentgroper:
yeah, something tells me you won't be saying this if the pk had been against you..

.

WhoDeyHause:
If no be the several abokis wey dey front and back, why tottenham go dey follow me get mouth? Club wey get fowl as Logo.

What an insult!.
Fowl dey drag something with a lion 😂😆😅

Anthony Taylor did well today, that second pk, 30% of EPL refs will overlook it.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]This Attack vs Defence arguement should rest, abeg

The fact that we are even talking about Chelsea as title contenders is already a big win.

Whatever Maresca is doing, he should continue.

Itesiwaju Chelsea FC, lo je wa logun.[/color]

Bẹ́ẹ̀ni my ọ̀gá at the top, why we no dey see you here again?

Segedinho:
Cucu mentality after d first 2 goals was solid...


Respect

A wrong pair of boot gave spurs two goals.

Unlimited22:
Jackson's best contribution today was shaa stopping Enzo from taking off his shirt 😂😂😂

😆😂😂
Well, I didn't notice dat.

Bluelines69:
All this subs no fit give good account of themselves sef

immediately Cucu was subbed off, that wing just collapsed

nateevs:
Tactically sound line up. Straight up targeting the potential Spurs high line, loading the midfield, and generally setting up to play, if Spurs park the bus.

The lineup is strong but I need caicedo in the midfield or dm
