Last season Jackson had the highest expected goal stat and he flopped by missing most of the big chances.

As it stands, anything outside a tap in chance, it's Insha Allah.

Can you explain what the XG swing column depicts in the stats page you just posted?

FBS:
Mascara, in trying to confuse the opposition is confusing both the players and himself.

Why on earth is Caicedo playing CB but Fofana is the one running from midfield to prevent a certain goal? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Compare that to what Jiro Gravenberch did for Liverpool against Manure.

First it was " it's just pre-season" and now it's " just 2 games".....Do you need 30 games to know wassup?

I want the manager (any manager) to do well for Chelsea and no one is expecting him to perform magic or transform the team overnight but please don't bring that excuse of a new system, 2 games, bla bla bla....

Nothing wrong in saying things the way they are, just need to focus on improving. dazzal.











Anyway, we are winning the league

So in summary, it's not a new system and we should just get on with it right?

SamueItem337:
Didn't you hear that Napoli wasn't ready to share salary and Chelsea wasn't ready to pay the full salary

Where was this shared?

Thazard:
Tell them..


See all of them talking as if they are not Nigerians.


Put them in Osimhen's shoe and none of them would accept it.

But accept what? Loan move to Chelsea that guaranteed his wages as is, or permanent move to Saudi that guaranteed him more than he currently earns?

airmark:
Egbon, you are obviously desperate to score a cheap point where none exists. Simply because your highly rated Jackson has started to cost us points with his cluelessness in front of goal and you know the impending L.

Baba, you are showing your hand too early o.

Address the issue baba. If we had bought Dovbyk and Guirassy like you opined, there is a possibility they have not scored a goal or had an assist in 3 games, but you are talking about Jackson with 3GA already costing us points.

Airmark Citadel.

drisham:
This is false

Even after taxes sef

Twitter influencers are just creating ridiculous amount

He was offerred 155k rejected it

And now people are carrying fake news of Chelsea offering him 24k after taxes

No no. Chelsea offered him £68k net, which comes close to about the reported £150/week gross basic. Then on top of that, performance-based bonuses up to £120k/week.

kingBolton:
You are letting your chelsea bias show in this osimhen situation.

What Chelsea bias? I never asked for him to be signed, even though I acknowledged the possibility of him joining.

I have no horse in this race, so I am clear-headed to make informed choices.

airmark:
The difference is, we watched Jackson's full season at Chelsea and we all saw how he was abysmal in front of goal. Hence, the call for his upgrade, so that our club won't continue to sink.

But you mocking outputs of strikers that just joined new clubs in their first 3 matches, reeks of desperation that should have come from Lordfalcao, Raumdeuter as their bodies have been riddled with Ls.

No dey fall my hand Egbon.

Alhaji we don't care about the difference. Nobody mentioned that if we got Dovbyk or Guirassy, we should excuse them for the first 7 seven games, whilst they found their feet.

The narrative was that they will hit the ground running, because they are immediately better than Jackson seeing as Jackson is the worst choice there can be.

He who giveth must taketh. You want us to jolly with you, as you rain abuses on Jackson every week, stretching the truth sometimes as you post many gifs, but you want us to cut Dovbyk some slack?

Me wey I mention to you many times that that there's no knowing that the guys you are mentioning can actually cut it in the PL with the faster pace, bigger defenders and tighter spaces.

But y'all want to be petty yet apply for exemptions at the same time. Nobody has monopoly of pettiness. There will be Dovbyk watch on this thread, until he shuts us up. God help him and he does a 007, then there will be dragging.

lordfalcao:
Penny wise , pound foolish of osihmen agent.

Idiots altogether. Him and his agent.

airmark:
Baba, leave all these fukefuke points you are trying to make, to those with little knowledge of football like Lordfalcao and Raumdeuter.

There was a season Kane didn't score for like 2 months at the beginning, but still won the golden boot.

Also, i hope you weren't one of those that was hurriedly mocking Haaland for scoring just 1 goal in his first 4 Epl matches for Man City.

Sir, on a good day, you won't find me with fukefuke points. And certainly will not catch me referencing Halaand at all times, as nothing else but generational talent, regardless of the season he's having.

The central point I am making is that, if we want to go silly analysis on a striker that plays for us because they missed chances, then all those who have been recommended previously as better output strikers be subject to the same fukefuke analysis.

We have devolved into a cult where Jackson's every touch is scrutinised for days, even when he's got 3 G/A already in the season. Meanwhile the others that were recommended to be better have not scored a goal in 4 games but it's okay to make excuses for them, yet call others names for supporting our own?

This is analysis?

Meanwhile today on Dovbyk and Guirassy watch.

These are the strikers that were recommended to us to be bought about 200 times

milann:
I saw Jackson and Felix refusing to pass to each other tit for tat on two occasions to score. Nkunku refusing to Palmer. The team is not united

Madueke as well in the first half, at least twice. Everyone, I think, was trying to recreate the 6-2 thing. But I am not worried. I still consider it a tactical issue that will be resolved with more playing time. IMaresca has got to get everyone thinking on the ball like Palmer, and we'll be a different team for it.

On another day, with right choices, the game ends 4-0, and all these ninjahs foaming in the mouth will move to the back of the class.

Enzo5:
maybe you should explain how nkunku starting relates to Chelsea's being consistent or what point where you trying to make

I should explain what point I am making. Really?

I replied to someone's post explaining exactly what I meant. You jumped on it in the middle, excluding the context, and now you are asking me to explain again?

Enzo5:
"Nkunku was supposed to be a starter in this set up based on pre-season." was what you wrote

Okay... so? You should revisit the context of the statement before going on a tangent.

The formidable Luiz Diaz!

Ibime:
Will another DM replace Enzo?

Enzo is the only reason why that midfield is expressway

This is not a matter of adding more bodies, but of removing one enemy of progress

Even if you add another DM, Caicedo and Enzo will still start. Caicedo is not the problem so you just have to remove the problem first (Enzo) before talking of new DM

Simple tactical understanding and the guy glue him fingers to keyboard dey yarn opats.

Gucciboy:
Everyone knows Enzo should be on the bench except nateevs.

What is wrong with this guy? You never come here to understand anything. Just type type type.

Where did you get the idea you are spouting?

Gucciboy:
A new defensive midfielder replaces Enzo,he can't be starting when he's our weakness.

Sir, Maresca plays with two 8s. Tactically speaking, it means Enzo never plays a CDM in Maresca's system.

The problem is Enzo is not a good tactical no 8 at the same time, so Maresca finds a tweak to the system to make Enzo play as a less advanced 8, which makes him look like he's CDM. He's not.

If you remove Enzo for a CDM, then you are now playing with a double pivot, which is a completely different set up. So again, practically, who do you need your new CDM to replace?

Enzo5:
where is nkunku supposed to start

is it the nkunku that can't beat servants fc

What are you talking about? Did you understand what I wrote?

Gucciboy:
This has turned to a joke. Abeg where are they?

What is your point oga? You want to have a new CDM as a watch guard in the dressing room or you want him playing? Which one?

FBS:
Still pre-season, innit?

The team is playing a new system. The manager is understanding his players. Nkunku was supposed to be a starter in this set up based on pre-season. We are now seeing him coming in behind Felix and Neto in pecking order.

There's a lot of learning to do. Eventually, Maresca will have to find a way to deal with his Enzo issue. We are not going to achieve consistency in 2 games, even though there is pressure to get there quicker.

Gucciboy:
Why complaining when you were against getting another defensive midfielder?

The problem is not having another CDM. This is what we are telling you. Enzo is the captain, and it seems he must play.

If Enzo didn't play, we have cover in James and Viega. It's not necessary to have yet another CDM, when we already have multiple layers of cover.

SimpleGuy001:
Omo make I complain jejely. Those guys are inconsistent…..

You want consistency in the second game?

Leyqute:
It was clearly instructions from the manager cos I saw Caicedo running down the right side, traditional winger style.

What is Mascara cooking? 🤔

If you've followed the games, you will see that mid-games, Caicedo will always be the RB in the absence of Gusto and James. It allows to cover the RB position as well the inverted RB position with the same player who would have been CDM in the first place.

This way, Enzo moves to pivot and, you can still play with 2 x 8s in attack.

Damn!

Singapore1:
The praise is beginning to enter madueke head

Indeed. He's failing to realise that he could be just as effective with assists.

Goal!

Neduzoma123456:
Showmax is a must get for seamless and smooth streaming on EPL games ... Just 2900 per month.

Is this for real?

This guy is unreal. 6 goals already.

See as these ones dey miss big chances..

drisham:
Haba nau egbon

Sterling is gone already...go easy on this Jackson agenda

He's frustrating to watch we all know
But haba

Until Jackson scores that exact goal, and then he revises all these one million posts saying stuff like "all I wanted him to do was score goals"

airmark:
Spurs will not swap Richarlison for Jackson.

Gabriel Jesus legs are also straight unlike Jackson's. So, no need to rush when even Havertz has better scoring skill than the Senegalese.

Alhaji you are just capping at this point.
