Elnino4ladies:
Because this is not an upgrade on Poch

1. We could never know that with only 2 games in. This time last year, we were doing well in PS, only to start doing nonsense in the league. Is that what you want. I prefer we build slowly but surely. We don't know which way it will go but it's still too early to tell.

2. Even though your next hire could be a mistake. This doesn't mean the last fired person did not deserve it. We were going nowhere with Poch. We don't want to go 5 years to realise this.

Elnino4ladies:
Sacking Poch seems like a mistake

This is nonsense. Explain.

Unlimited22:
That lad might be the scammiest scam pulled on us ever.

You see as everybody dey play with GK now? Fofana was just playing chaos.

Tosin has brought stability in 9 mins. Fofana never understood that the GK is an outfield player as well under Maresca's system.

Tosin has allowed James to be stable in midfield and now we are building back up.

Better. Unlucky Guiu

Kilishihunter:
He isn't supposed to have a hard time adjusting to your coach's positional tactics since that's what he's used to all his life

He's one of the few who understand their role well.

We like Guiu

Tosin added more stability in defence than Fofana does. Tosin is also better on the ball than Fofana is.

Game by game, we would start to understand those that will work under the system, and those that will be second class.

Unlimited22:
Broski Lavia, James and Nkunku are not match fit yet

Fofana too...

And it's showing.

All four of James are severely lacking match sharpness.

Poor display.

E be like say Nkunku no understand one touch football.

I like Guiu

Fofana, Lavia and James are almost unfit.

Hehehe. Season go long.

See Benoit.

They all have very bad habits. Running 20 yards just to make a 5-yard pass in defence. Stupid football from Poch still lingering.

Positional football but Lavia is not moving to create options. So building efforts are stifled very easily.

BlewMahn:
Nkunku's passing has been poor.

Poor.

So we don't have an inverting full back. Instead, we have a CB (Fofana) stepping into midfield.

They've scored.

Very good start. Aggressive pressing.

We are leaving spaces behind. Fofana pressing all the way to attack line, leaving us exposed.

How did that not go in?

Ballzproblemm:
good line up against Celtic

Indeed. Tosin and Tyrique out from last starting line up.

Football banter élite gan 😂😂😂

This shit savage! Those guys are mad. Dude Bellingham? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

OVA200:
This place never change.

First match after 66 days and with almost half of the starting line up absent and a different lineup both halves.
Players playing under a completely different tactical approach but no they must win convincingly or the manager is a fraud.
They think real life is FIFA 24.

City lost yesterday
Arsenal drew today
Zero issue

So reactionary.

You know? I can't fit to understand.

FBS:
Was that the so called Mascara football?

Would it not be better to play to your players strength instead of trying to reinvent the bicycle?

Anyway...I guess it's good so no one is getting carried away = lower your expectations = no disappointments.

It is well.

If anything at all, he's the one manager who's playing to everyone's strength. He's only doing so with a very different tactical approach.

The only person who looked uncomfortable in their role is Ugochukwu. Everyone else looked comfortable. The only issue was tactical and positional familiarity.

When everyone's familiar with where their other team mates are supposed to be standing in every phase of play, it'll be easier.

BlewMahn:
Omo
Not an inspiring start to the preseason. Matter of fact, some of these mofos annoy me.

Better this way. So no one is carried away thinking we are going to storm the league.

Most of this lot are playing tactical and positional football for the first time. Not that nonsense Poch was doing last season.

I prefer this set. Make dem build slowly enter season.

Let's put into perspective also no Palmer, Enzo, Caceido, KDH. So better things to come.

BlewMahn:
The ref just spared Fofana's blushes.

That was stupid from Fofana. Could have gifted them a third.

raumdeuter:
Abi kin pe Wrexham..
Wrexham world bestie
Blue jersey and not Chelsea

Naira Marley calm down.

Lesley don redeem o

BlewMahn:
I even forgot Broja was on the pitch.

Guy has not touched the ball has he?

BlewMahn:
I don't know where Acheampong was running to.

Was that Acheampong? That's the 3rd time he did that rubbish. Showing too much of the ball to the opposition then diving in trying to break someone's leg last minute.

Who be that guy?

Elnino4ladies:
Ugochukwu is awful

I can see he's playing in position 8. Not sure how that came about.

BlewMahn:
Lesley no just be am. At all.

At all.
