Thibaut Courtois: “Honestly, I don’t understand how Chelsea are failing in the Premier League. They have players of a world level who are able to achieve success — although I hope the bad run continues on Tuesday. Chelsea maybe in crisis but they are always a difficult rival."

Former Bayern Madrid and Everton player James Rodriguez released by Olympiakos

kad199:
You are yet to see reasons to dislike him? Abi na another Felix we dey talk of.

Incognito9:

Exonerate1:
These guys will be looking like clowns when we get a serious manager.

ObiORBiafra:
All these half baked journalism.

If you dont mention their names then the report is not true...

How much is their salary again?
Then one person will spend $1m each on how many people?

remiola:
This obviously can't be true

LeoDeKing:
I don't understand.

What exactly is the difference between a senator and the senate president? Even the difference in allowance is not much.

So what is it that they are ready to bribe with almost a billion naira?

favor914:
Biafraland will be more suitable for you if you choose not to hear the truth, not Nairaland.

FirstbornWds:
Do Chelsea players even score goals during training, if yes we need videos clips from their training sessions.

Leyqute:
I.bime is this not too much?

PatientofYabale:
Thank God, I finally left this stupid club. We won yesterday, halland 32 goals.

FBS:
For those that watch football with hate and just looking to blame players unnecessarily.

I am referring to those that have never played football 11 a side before even though in their minds they have.

I am referring to those with ego size of epiphytic orchids. They think they have ego but they don't.

Chelsea player ratings

GK: Kepa Arrizabalaga - 8/10 - The only reason Chelsea weren't four or five goals behind in the first half and ten or eleven by the final whistle. Excellent.

RB: Trevoh Chalobah - 3/10 - Ruined by Mitoma on a number of occasions apart from one excellent challenge midway through the first half.

CB: Wesley Fofana - 6/10 - Chelsea's best defender for the most part but did not cover himself in glory for the equaliser.

CB: Benoit Badiashile - 3/10 - A poor clearance for the equaliser but hadn't really inspired a lot of confidence before or after then anyway.

LB: Ben Chilwell - 3/10 - Seen arguing with Mudryk over positioning. Nowhere near his best at either end of the pitch.

DM: Enzo Fernandez - 5/10 - Chelsea's main creative outlet in midfield had a tough battle up against Caicedo. Usually came off second-best.

CM: Denis Zakaria - 3/10 - Offered nothing in the midfield battle and left Chelsea hanging on at the back at times.

CM: Conor Gallagher - 5/10 - Scored a scrappy goal and put himself about without ever really offering anything of real quality, and yet was probably still Chelsea's best attacker.

RW: Christian Pulisic - 2/10 - Largely uninvolved.

ST: Raheem Sterling - 2/10 - Didn't offer much but wasn't helped by Chelsea's determination to fire crosses in towards him.

LW: Mykhailo Mudryk - 5/10 - A fast start which yielded the assist for Gallagher's opener but faded as the game went on.

Substitutes

Mateo Kovacic (56' for Fernandez) - 4/10 - Didn't offer the sort of control asked of him.

Hakim Ziyech (56' for Pulisic) - 5/10 - Fairly uninspiring.

Reece James (56' for Fofana) - 5/10 - Not his usual self yet again but his introduction did at least coincide with a drop-off from Mitoma.

Joao Felix (56' for Sterling) - 5/10 - Rarely involved.

Mason Mount (74' for Zakaria) - 5/10 - A challenging cameo.

Manager

Frank Lampard - 3/10 - Prioritising the Real Madrid game is about the only thing Lampard got right here. Had absolutely no answer to anything Brighton were doing but kept his heavy hitters healthy for the game that really matters.

A001:
Dead rubber games? You know if Lampard fails to win or at least draw some of the remaining games, Chelsea could actually relegate.

Ibime:
Mumu, if you sack Lampard today, and rehire him tomorrow I will still celebrate his rehire. I said I will have goodwill toward him even unto relegation. If you like cry me a river, I'm not denying anything.

My own is simple, I will continue to criticize any player I want. You can criticize Lampard if you want but don't expect me to join you in that. Kepa should continue getting beaten by long range shots. I don't see what Lampard has to do with his short arms.

A001:
Anyway, na Boli I blame sha. The man is so clueless.

pkasso:
But you were the one already writing off Haaland chances of winning the Ballon D'or because according to you, he hasn't been making the shortlist consistently for at least two years, which is a laughable notion. Now, you don dey use style agree say if he wins the league and CL, he could win the thing.

Just stay one place, bro

pkasso:
Lmao. Why does this sound like it's coming from a place of hate and jealousy?

As things stand, Haaland is the front-runner for this year's Ballon D'or. Top 3 is a foregone conclusion at this point, and the only thing standing in his way is Messi's World Cup heroics whose euphoria has died down over the last few months. But if City complete a league-CL double, then not even Messi winning the World Cup will stop him from clinching the Golden Ball.

Nothing is set but Haaland will definitely fancy his chances.

Pochettino:
I'm not interested

oliverano:
The only reason why Haaland "May" not win it this season is because Messi won the world cup.

He's secured the golden boot in England and the European golden shoe with lots of games to spare. He'll most likely be the UCL top scorer too.

If City should go on to win the league and may be the UCL, then the trend of being consistent on the ballondor list will not hold water for the Norwegian Cyborg.

As a Messi fan, I want Messi to win but if he doesn't then Haaland should take it.

Trevor012:

Let me see how Fifa will play Ojoro and give midget any award.

FirstbornWds:
I'm still asking. Who'd you take ahead of him aside from Messi?

FirstbornWds:
That's why I am asking you to know. Who are the ones ahead of him that's not named Messi?

FirstbornWds:
Do you have another name in mind?
