AirborneLacer:
Costa you just wasted our best chance.

Hehehe. Costa suffering from a dip in confidence. How is a striker not shooting from there?

Very bad decision-making. It's only 19 mins in but this is shaping out to be one of those matches again. Unless Hazard comes up with another moment of genius.

I cannot overstate how Willian and Oscar are killing this game. Where Willian dey play sef?

Oscar - making poor choices in attack since 1960

Nihilist:
Apparently the first pair of terrorists have now been killed...

The second pair still alive at the supermarket though...

And one of the other pair has been killed it seems.

TreQuartista:
The apprehension that a prompt suicide mission brings is nothing compared to this.

Summed up perfectly.

bigkesh:
we are moving forward nt backwards..... If u cant make it at bayern, chelsea is nt A reservoir for 'near world class' talent.......... As for willian nd salah,they will leave soon

It doesn't work this way at all times. Madrid considered Sneijder and Robben surplus to requirements. I don't need stating what they both went on to achieve.

Na Shakira dem dey yarn? Mscheew!
Dat ninja na like Gokhan Tore part 2.

I do remember very vividly, you wanting Shaqiri at Chelsea some time ago. You called him "your boy" on numerous occassions.

Nihilist:
The news out of Italy is that Shaqiri to Inter deal is done. €2m initial loan, then €12m in June.

That's a bargain. Why haven't we gone for him? Surely he's a better winger than Schurlle/Willian/Salah?

Now that's a good question to ask. Unless of course we have and they refused to sell to us.

Wetin be dis? Abeg carry that gif comot for here.

mithel:
Abeg take the dwarf... We no want am

Bros you don't speak for all of us o. If Messi is available at a reasonable price, I will drive to Barcelona to go bring him myself.

Calm your nerves fellas. Look at the technicalities behind such a transfer. I have higher chances of becoming an Astronaut than Chelsea spending £200m on one player. It is not going to happen.

It doesn't even matter that he is ineligible for CL, signing Messi at that figure automatically makes us ineligible for CL. Mainly because, he is not the only player we need.

Go and read news of more plausible transfers. If Barca are not willing to sell for £60m max, spend that valuable time with family.

So apparently Schurrle was rubbish again and taken off at half time. And Salah was too inferior to be introduced. Not surprising at all.

Ibime:
I dey stream online from Chelsea TV. . . no pictures, na just radio stream.

Abeg who get better stream for me?

Bros no stream o.
Na so so search I dey search, I no find.

Mark Schwarzer leaves for Leicester. This means a foreign spot has opened up for a winter signing. So who are we expecting?

dawhizkid1:
No denying the quality of the goals. . . . But I know Cech won us matches with incredible saves. I'm certain he would've saved one or two, that's not to discredit Courtois, I'm just saying. Maybe it's because it's Tottenham. . . It just sucks losing to Spurs and conceding 5 in the process.

Did you look at the goals in the video I posted? I am surprised you still insist Cech would have saved at least one of those goals.

dawhizkid1:
You're that one making conclusions. I'm just saying Cech doesn't easily concede 5, and there are facts to prove that. I agree the defense let him down, heck the whole team let him down, but I still don't like the way he conceded the goals and I reckon Cech would save one or two of those, especially the first goal.

Noah13:
I don't think leading the line for that time would make any sense if City is lifting the title by the end of the season.

I like that we are playing this kind of football now, but conceding 5 goals against Tottenham says a lot about the team's defensive instincts.

mithel:

I taya o...by force people want to force a kind of game on a club that got many of its trophies playing another way, anytime chelsea plays attacking fluid football,we end up conceding more than we score...happened during avb,matteo's second season...its not our thing

We've played 20 games; lost only two. We conceded 3 goals only once (Everton) and now 5 goals. Typically never concede more than 1 goal per game except twice (Newcastle and Swansea - each two goals). Total number of goal conceded 19. That's an average of less than 1 goal per game. And 8 of those 19 goals conceded in only two games.

All this, lining up with about the same team every game and playing the same football. So no, you guys are regurgitating bollocks and freaking out over a strange result.

mithel:
And I still put it to you that the CLUB doesn't integrate young players.. Mou left us to manage inter.. Madrid.. What young player did we integrate then? That's the only warped part of this your opinion... If Mou does wrong I would boldly point it out.. This one ain't his

Jose could have integrated Thorgan and Bertrand instead of Salah and Luis and saved £29m but he didn't. How is it the club's fault? Even I could see before the season started that Salah is a poor man's Kalou so don't give us the excuse of instability of club. Salah wasn't/isn't and will never win you a PL title; so why was he ever here?

OK. We have already established Luis, Salah and Schurrle are rubbish why don't we bring in Hazard/Traore and give them a shot? It's not going to happen. Is it the club or we are givng the excuse that JM's job is at risk?

Abeg forget history, JM has a chance to show that he is that manager; right here right now and he isn't showing it.

mithel:
Loaning bertrand off was a really shyte decision....now we cant say we should bench iva and move azpi back,cos it would mean stronger right,weaker left,as its now general consensus that luis is shyte

Considering the infrequent use of Luis and the fact that when he is called upon, he is actually just a lil above rubbish, it makes you wonder why not Bertrand?

Not just that. Consider the infrequent use of Salah and it makes you wonder why not Thorgan Hazard?


And some folks wanted to kill me when I said Jose does not integrate young players.

Noah13:
abeg tell me how many points we get from attacking these sides?

Dude, remember say we still dey all 4 fronts, and like it or not, I foresee a park the bus episode against PSG.

And also remember that this is our strongest starting 11, and they were rap.ed silly by Tottenham for that matter.

I rest my case till June.

Don't throw your toys out of the pram yet. We have 46 points from 20 games and have led the league for over half the season, so you cannot say our method is wrong because of a freak result.

What you should be asking for is how we perfect our attacking methods and how we purchase players that carry better fit the system not asking us to go back.

When the time comes to park the bus against PSG/Real Madrid, we will. Don't as to park the bus against Sunderland/Newcastle so we don't drop points.

Noah13:
I don't think it would be a bad idea if the old boring Chelsea that parked the bus and got the positive result by hook or crook is brought back.

Am beginning to think that the new attacking game we playing doesn't help matters.

So you want us to park the bus against Spurs and Southampton?

Everyone screaming that Kane turned Cahill, wasn't it Matic?

Ibime:
You scored 3 goals and couldn't win the game, yet na lack of wingers cause am. When Spurs walked through your midfield 5 times without challenge. It only took one game to see the fundamental need of the team. Continue dey yarn, na you get your time.


Still top of the league. . on alphabetical order.

Only one of the goals is as result of a direct run through the midfield.

Actually we are only top by alphabetical order.

Now it is over.

Bang!!!! My boy Hazard comes up again.

Hehehehe 4-1

Penalty

Now we need two goals.

Oscar jst dey escort the guy.

Wrong decision Oscar. That needed a firt time whack.

I wish Costa finihed that.

My boy Hazard coming out with the goods again. Involved in almost everything we do.
