The team who did it back to back, can you tell us who was their striker

Airmark InfoTech.

Realtord43:
Marquinhos 31, Ruiz 29, Dembele 28. Hakimi and Dannarumma are 26.

Experience still count.

I am not telling you my view on it. I am telling you what Boehly is most likely to take from this.

I am a proponent of experience.

Meanwhile, all the proponents of buying experience should just pack it up now. Boehly be watching this final going .....screw all of you.

What a disgrace. Embarrassment. They just wasted a final slot. 5-0 loss in a final.

Roland17:
And just like that, Kvaratskhelia will win the Scudetto, Ligue 1 and UCL in one season!

Has this ever happened before?

Did you mean one year?

Jesus! 5-0

Shegzdave:
Haram football no Dey pay sha

It should be a criminal offence.

Wow! 4-0

BlueMann:
Shameful attempt from PSG. Looks like a clash between league heavyweights and a division one side.

See squad. You dey chase game, u dey bring Bisseckn, Augusto and Darmian. Jesus Christ.

Did you mean Inter?

Kimbeast:
Traditional striker in the mud

Tell me about it.

Game over!

Good lord. These guys have very little quality. At least make it a contest.

Caicedobets:
Joao Pedro isn't coming to Chelsea anymore

That's a good thing. Ekitike should.

Demarco having a mare.

Big chance missed

Inter are up against a proper technical team that are also defensively organised. They stand little chance.

2-0

Our first team this epl season was sanchez, gusto, tosin, colwill, cucurella, caicedo, enzo, madueke, palmer, sancho, jackson.

And our aim should be to improve this eleven, sanchez improved this year and jorgenson did well, but glad to be having petrovic and penders as options this summer. a fit James replaces out of form gusto. if sancho leaves, we need a new lw or hope estevao and paez star there. the biggest issue upfront was getting a top 9 that could replace Jackson, but we got delap a slightly better version of what we have.

Petrovic, James, tosin, colwill, cucurella, caicedo, enzo, estevao, palmer, new lw/neto, delap

Another season to fight for top four again, there's no lw in the market now that can give me that osimhen/gyorekes vibe or salah impact

There's a general dearth of reasonably-priced quality in the market. That said, I will still look at one of Rodrygo, Williams, Gittens.

Ballzproblem2:
Delap Neva kick ball una dey write am off we are back to duran and omorodion sagas again, only this time we got our target, allow delap kick ball ,then judge later.

I thought there was a consensus on here not to doubt anymore after seeing Duran and Omorodion.

Delap will cook.

They didn't find clever ways of spending in every window. In fact, we have a lot of craps to offload now because we spent foolishly in the last windows.

What's the essence of buying Veiga, Felix, when they would be loaned out? Why signing washed players like Sterling and jakujaku Jackson? Now, we are faced with righting the wrongs by offloading them, when we could have used the funds on quality players to fill important positions of weakness in the team, once and for all.

The need for a top quality striker was there since over a season ago, and they were foolish to have sidestepped it.

They found clever ways of spending. They literally invented the 8-year contract strategy..... allowing the club to spend more on players, showing amortisation, without breaking the bank in any particular season. In fact, it was so clever, UEFA came after it.

Did they make stupid decisions along the way, absolutely! .....Thaat comes with the strategy they are employing.

For every bum we have purchased, this strategy has also brought us the likes of Palmer, Caicedo, Enzo, Lavia, Santos, and looking at bright prospects from the likes of Estevao, Paez, Essugo, Guiu, Delap, Quenda. Let's be fair, none of these players will get a sniff during our previous ownership. We just wouldn't be in the market for them.


I should mention, this is not a debate about which strategy works better. It's just a statement to remind us all that ownership has changed, and so has direction. The earlier we accept it, the less frustrated we will be.

swiz123:
I feel Boehly wants to use Delap as the main striker while we keep Jackson as another striking option with different profile. Gyokeres and Delap are of similar profile so it brings question marks about the purpose of Delap signing.

This club was once known as a club who went after the best of players.

That was a massive very rare privilege because we had a benevolent Billionaire in Roman, who just personally underwrote the associated losses. Even then with FFP, he still did what he could.

Y'all need to keep up with the business side of football.

We are in a new era of sustainability and strategy needs to change as a result. Times have changed and we need to get with the program.

We should be grateful that we have owners who are actually finding clever ways of spending every window, buying good young players and protecting the future of the club.

Only 3 days after season end, we don knack better quality, signed and sealed. Other clubs are praying for this type of spending power, will, and efficiency.

Realtord43:
Delap doesn't excites me

We need a proven striker

Apart from Gyokeres, who is already 26 anyway, there is no available proven striker on the market.

It is a market for potential. Everyone's taking a bet on the next available big thing. Delap is a solid acquisition.

Strange from Lordfalcao. Where did you copy it from?

Good lord man. Just chill.

So you got Cucurella right, so did many people. You also got many wrong. There's no award for this shit.

popizaino:
Options. Create an attacking options. Whenever Madueke was driving inward,i don't see any of our so called midfielders standing on the edge of the box waiting for pass so they could shoot from outside the box just like Caicedo did today and that was because it was almost a counter. Do they expect him(Madueke) to go shot with his weaker right foot? If it had occurred ones, i could have believe it is the players fault, but since it keeps occurring,it has to be a tactical problem.

I have to take you several years back,whenever Arjen Robben or any of our wingers were moving,frank lampard is always giving them options,either running ahead or waiting behind to shot outside the box.


Remember the goal Micheal Essien scored against Arsenal in 2006,it came from Arjen Robben who was playing the same LWF forward as Madueke today, Robben cut the ball back to Lampard who would later lay it down for Micheal Essien who was on motion and had better opportunity to hit the ball well. Today if Madueke decides to cut the ball to the midfield there won't be any of our midfielders there. They could have been somewhere hiding.

I can give you tones of example of how frank Lampard was giving our midfielders options if you care.

Maresca's just like Tuchel's attacking tactics are very rigid. The attackers play one way from starting to finish.

Don't worry, Maresca is not going anywhere. Then you will see the likes of Estevao and subsequently, Quenda come in and nail that position.

You think Olise will be limited in this same tactical set-up? The problem is Madueke himself. He's a player who only engages his football brain when he has space to run into. Outside of that, he's very limited and has poor decision-making.

Whizlight:
Y’all still be doubting marresca till he wins it all. I will be there

Your head dey there. Make better technical and productive players enter for key positions, you will see the first half of the league season on a regular.

Abeg wey d Venn Diagram?

Leyqute is coming to collect now.

Roland17:
