I remember I tagged you last week when Dovbyk and Guirassy scored more than once. As usual you went mute as if you weren't the one making public announcements that they didn't score since they joined their new teams.

Even expired Junior Lokosa is a better finisher than your wasteful Jackson. Like in the case of Morata, you love another wastepipe in Jackson.

As usual I went mute? Sir, as usual, I am busy. I have a full company to run. I don't have time for megedefegede living on the forum, quoting everybody and trying to prove i was right about every topic. Heck I don't even have time to dig up your posts.

We have been debating this for a year, and we are all familiar with the story. People dey tag you for Euros dey ask wetin Dovbyk dey play, way before you jumped on the Gyokeres train. Now you are moon-walking out the back door.

Fact is you ran from Bellotti, to Vlahovic, to Dovbyk, to Guirassy and now to Gyokeres. But you want to tell us you are all but mighty when it comes to striker choice.

If you know and you are confident, answer the question na. Are Bellotti, Vlahovic, Dovbyk and Guirassy all upgrades to Jackson or not? Explain away.

airmark:
Quote where I asked Chelsea to sign Vlahovic throughout last season or in January transfer window. You don't need to score cheap points off that lie.

Also, this was my post to you in May and Gyokeres was my first choice. I don't know how you changed the order to Dovbyk to Guirassy and now in 2024/2025 season, Gyokeres.
This is dark art at play from you.

Alhaji, I will find the time from my busy schedule to line you up in front of all your misyarns.

For now, do us a favour and answer the questions, are Bellotti, Vlahovic, Dovbyk and Guirassy all upgrades to Jackson or not? Explain away.

airmark:
I don't want to believe you deliberately turned fact on its head, to score cheap points. Let me take it as you being forgetful.

I only wanted Vlahovic when it was reported that Juve were opened to 30m + Lukaku during the transfer window before 2023/2024 season started. How you now twisted it to mean I wanted Chelsea to buy Vlahovic throughout last season, is
shocking.

Furthermore, saying I moved from Dovbyk to Guirassy and now this season to Gyokeres, is you being economical with the truth. The attached image was my post to you and you could see the list of preferred strikers in pecking order.

Just as you ensured that you supported Morata's sinking our club, you are on it again with Jackson. You love Chelsea, but your love and string support for the retention of wasteful strikers is appalling. One would think Morata's should have been a lesson, but No.

Airmark, you are trying to save face. You never stopped talking last season about how stupid Poch was for not signing Vlahovic. We have this on record, in your numerous weekly epistles of 'let's slag Jackson'.

You talked endlessly about Vlahovic, then Dovbyk, and then Guirassy. Now you want to walk out the back door.

If you like, Morata till thy kingdom come, you are in no position to advise on striker talk. Matter of fact, you have an exceptionally poor record.

Like Amodu opines, we are all aware Jackson is not exceptional. You are just the one making the loudest noise about a known fact, and forming nostradamus. What we know is how he compensates for this below par quality.

What we also know is that despite his failing, he is still outperforming GAs on all your beloved strikers that should "replace" Jackson.

Oya, Q and A time. Why should Bellotti, Vlahovic, Dovbyk and Guirassy replace Jackson. Explain away.

Unlimited22:
If na Jackson miss this Solanke shot or Sarr header now....

We for don call National Assembly. You would think that other strikers don't miss chances.

Typical Timo.

Goal

Red card!!

Timo. Typical

All Spurs at the moment.

United could have been 4 down already.

Wow! Goal.

We can get strikers that do that and still won't be as wasteful as Jackson. That's what we need to compete for the Epl title. Without Palmer yesterday, we would have lost, so I don't understand this Jackson being the one making Maresca's system to work effectively. Nkunku rescued us against Bournemouth when Jackson was playing nonsense. Palmer also rescued us yesterday. We know who is making Maresca's system to work effectively and it's not Jackson.



Good that you didn't state that Osimhen would be missing all those big chances Jackson has missed. We both agree that Osimhen is a better finisher and that's enough. Claiming that he wouldn't be positioning himself for chances like Jackson does, is speculation that can be easily thrown out of the window with Osimhen's goal stats with Lille and Napoli, with inferior quality of ball passers.

Get a natural finisher that won't need wingers to be running into the box all the time, because of his wastefulness in the box and at the same time defending deep as required. We must not kill our support casts because of one wasteful striker. A clinical finisher will relieve such unnecessary burden.





I also acted on Morata that you defended shockingly and we saw how it ended. We know how this will end too and who the actor will be at the end of the day.

Airmark, tell us the natural finisher you want. Last year, it was Vlahovic throughout. Before the season started, it was Dovbyk Dovbyk Dovbyk...... and then Guirassy Guirassy....

Now you are looking every week and seeing that Jackson the wasteful is outperforming your favourites...... then you moved to Gyokeres to make it look like you were always in the know.

You are a poor assessor of strikers. You are in no position to lecture others. Anybody can cast a large net over a number of strikers, hit on one, and now not make us hear word.

If anybody can go through Airmark's posts in the last year alone, and fetch us the number of times he asked us to sign Dovbyk as the perfect replacement for Jackson, I will pay that person N50k.

And now, he's slowly walking away from his beloved Dovbyk, just like he tried walking back on Jackson last week, when it seemed like Jackson was on a roll.

lajid:
Seriously ehnn, if Jackson can be clinical like costa or Palmer, he will be chasing Halaand for golden boot….

And if my Grandma had wheels, she would have been a bike.

Maresca understands the Jackson moves the ball during build-up play with alacrity; which allows his system to work effectively. The system relies on all support casts arriving in the box for a higher xG. Maresca understands that the sacrifice is that Jackson is not as clinical as Haaland, and he still misses a handful..... but the collective team effort will be better for it.

It's very similar to what Maresca said about Sanchez's mistakes yesterday.

Remove Jackson, put Osimhen, and xG for all support casts probably reduces. Osimhen probably doesn't even get to be in position to miss the chances that Jackson is missing in the first place. Overall movement, fluidity and collective effort reduces, which could reflect on overall scoring output.... whereas Osimhen might be topping the charts in the league.

This is how system football works. It does not mean that "removing this player for that player", and now everything starts to click. The only way it works better is if you can find a player that combines the best qualities of Jackson and Haaland.

Don't let actors like Airmark tell you otherwise.

airmark:
Agility ladder and stopwatch are used to drill such heavy legs in sessions (fast footwork). How would I convince Lordfalcao, who doesn't even know what an agility ladder is?.

So you are inevitably saying that you know about some training methods that the whole Chelsea apparatus is not privy to.

Even God is facepalming at this point.

amodu:
Don't bring that inept and good-for-nothing Poch into the discussion jawe. A coach lacking in all elements of coaching.

It was very apparent last season that we lacked approach, setup, grit, tactical prowess and good coaching.

Nateev shared this view repeatedly and opined we would get better with an upgrade.

Here we are just 6 games into the season.

Just 6 games in sir. Big difference being method of play.

Meanwhile those who come on here to constantly ask us if we are still in Pre-Season have moved to the back of the class.

Enzo Maresca, signing of the season.

BlueRayDick:
Like..... Iran basically using their oil money to arm terrorists instead of joining Gbádùn squad like UAE, Saudi, Qatar and the likes whose citizens are enjoying the largese that comes with being a citizen of an oil producing nation.

Which Oil money? Who's buying Iranian oil?

4-2 against Brighton. Another 3 points. Another solid performance.

It's Jackson's wasteful day.

airmark:


@ Nateevs, see this hater.

You are messing around. We are objective. If Jackson makes a mistake, we say.

Sir Cucurella!

Goalllll

airmark:
That's actually not me. Setting the record straight is not hating.

Jackson 'counted legs' there and gave the defender the chance to clear that ball.

But it is. There's no way any player should be called sluggish for that effort. Any player. Whether you like them or not.

The problem is you are personally invested in seeing no good in Jackson, so every borderline effort must be talked about.

Last week you were trying to walk back all your yarns. This week, you are back to default Airmark.

lordfalcao:
that was how you will lie how you play 9.

Na only citadel will see that and call it sluggish

Imagine him calling Jackson sluggish there, when most players will not reach the ball to take it last the keeper in the first place.

airmark:
Unlucky Jackson or sluggish Jackson?

You know me and you are here for different reasons. Me I am here hoping everyone scores. You are here praying Jackson makes a mistake every game, so you can register a complaint.

Unlucky Jackson

Only Mudryk can look poor against Barrow.

Nice one Felix.3-0.

Unlimited22:
Chief it's FC Wheelbarrow.

We could play current Ibime DM and obainojazz at CF and still maul them

Me I celebrate little wins. We would have played this same Barrow last season under Poch, same players, and we will be sweating to even control the game, let alone score a goal.

I am glad Maresca is making full use of the squad. Casadei playing CDM. Who would have thought that?

What a shame.

Raya MOTM.

I wish Maresca had Kovacic to work with walahi.
