Well fought boys.

CSO don start

Excuse me. CSO? Potter, no dey play around.

See through ball from Hall

Broda Shile is just composed.

Goalllll

drisham:


He's been underwhelming

He's 18 and he's not a Left Back. Everyone has to remember this.

Ibime:
Gallagher has created several chances this game from his energy and drive

Some are waiting for Hollywood pass to appreciate the boy

He's been involved in everything good.

Better performance.

He will come good.

Hallllll?

Well done Hall

BlueMann:
Badiashile is a very composed passer. You can tell he has good technique with the way he wraps his foot around the ball

Exactly. I am glad we are focusing more on on this now - players with technique. You cannot beat ultra pressing opposition without this.

Ibime:
Havertz has to score there

Had to.

Expert17:


Reacted to a player (miles offside) who was just running without touching the ball or raising his leg?

Lmao

Alhaji I do not have the bandwidth to argue this with you. If this link doesn't conclude it for you, then nothing will.

StarchAndBanga:


So the keeper rushing out and positioning himself as a result of Rashford's run doesn't matter?

Hehehe. It's like those 'whatever you say, I am against it' moments.

I mentioned yesterday that the whole City backline in that moment reacted to Rashford's move on play and I was 100% convinced about it at the time.....I hadn't even seen the link you shared until now.

This proves conclusively that Rashford interfered with play.

BlueMann:
I now understand the deal better; €70m fixed plus €30m add-ons. The €70m will be paid for the duration of Mudryk's contact (7 and half years), meaning we'll essentially be paying €10m every year. Pretty smart.

There's amortization for accounting purposes (every club does that. It's not something new), and there's this deal. Don't let our transfer correspondent mislead you.

On this deal, they negotiated to pay €70m upfront, which is why they were able get in front of Arsenal in the first place.

Kantebets:
if humphreys was that good Bayern would have for him like they did with Musiala

After all the Lewis Hall hype he is just cucurella pro max

I prefer to buy made players than depend on our academy
Only James is only genuine world class player apart from John terry to have made it to the first team from that academy that alone sends a message

I have just seen you call Lewis Hall Cucurella pro Max...nonsense.

The fact that you are making that comparison shows you are not paying attention. He turned 18 only four months ago. Secondly, he is neither a LB nor a LWB by trade. He's a midfielder....Got bundled into a team that is low on confidence to help and played in a position he has no experience playing....and you are judging him in that.

Where in the world do you see youngsters introduced like this?

You don't prefer anything Alhaji. Your arguments lack quality. You are just jumping from one place to another. This is not a topic you know much about. You should quit arguing about it.

You are in one statement acknowledging that Bayern found Musiala good enough, but insisting that the academy doesn't produce anything.

At serous top level in recent times are James, Musiala, Nathan Ake, Declan Rice, Tomori...to name a few. You think this is just a coincidence?

We've even produced a litany of next level talent like Robert Huth, Carlton Cole, Graeme Le Saux, Ryan Bertrand, Patrick Van Aanholt, Tammy Abraham, Jack Cork, Tariq Lamptey, Frank Noble, who have gone on to serve either Chelsea or other teams....some of those names you have not even watched enough football to know.


You are talking nonsense my friend. Siddon for this argument abeg. How can you keep insisting that we don't produce anything?

Ibime:


Bloody Humphreys was head and shoulders above CSO in the Man City match. Colwill will shït on CSO head. Whatever you say about academy players, a lot of the current first team players are not better

Don't mind this dude. Just making invalid arguments over the place. I had seen Humphreys play in the academy and he's never been one of those I put on my radar. He didn't stand out. So I was surprised to see him.

Yet he made it clear playing against City that we had wasted money on CSO. That's a boy that's never played a single Premier League game in his life.

Kantebets:
kante’s injury cost Tuchel his job

There is no other midfielder as good as him except casemiro

Lampard signed most of those flop sissies you mentioned

English players and English coaches are full of shit

But he is not fit. That's the problem. You want to play an unfit player or you want to spend £600m on 6 players who are 'good enough' ?

donstan18:

What of your crush Kante? When will you talk about his inability to get fit?

Sterling, Pulisic, Fraudvertz, Kuli, Cucu, Silva, Jorginho and Ziyech. Are all these hums from our Academy?

Una don sell almost all of our academy players, yet Una dey flop for league. We’ll discuss this one day, just one day we’ll talk about how English academy players carried this Chelsea.

Don't mind them. Shey na Havertz for £70m be value for money?

Kantebets:
apart from james there is no other academy player that is good enough for the first 11

Unless the guy is not English then he might come good
I am tired of yeye English players

This statement means nothing unless you said this when James was on loan at Wigan.

There are people on here who went on record saying James was not good enough, after his first 5 games for the first team.

When did you conclude he was good enough?

Kantebets:
leave those academy guys especially English guys

Look at how Gallagher is flopping despite shining for Palace last season

You mean we should leave James alone? Or you forget say James came from the academy, went out on loan and accidentally played for the first team?

Meanwhile, Ian Maatsen is not English. I have been calling for Ian to join the team for about 3 years now.

You are completely missing the point. You cannot keep buying 22 players year in year out. It's unsustainable. Sometimes you have to try and give a Levi Colwill/Ian Maatsen/Lewis Hall a chance, so you don't waste £70m + £30m on a Cucurella and CSO.

Imagine that we didn't buy Cucurella and CSO....we could not have been worse than where we are now on the league. Meanwhile we could have saved £100m, for other important parts of the squad.

Right now, we are screaming for a right back, but this where we could have used Tino Livramento.

While you are ignoring the academy, the quality of players improves each year. You keep trying and playing them until you find a James. If the others don't cut it, you move them in for good money. But you cannot move them in for good money if you don't play them.

Next up Mendel Idowu.

Ibime:


By then these new signings may already be in a negative spiral and written off like Sterling

A good midfield brings the best out of even average players, while great attacking players without a midfield decline in value and confidence. Real Madrid Galacticos era after the exit of Makelele is the perfect example

I think there will be Marcus Thuram and one or two midfielders.

popizaino:



Pls what site do you stream ball with in the UK cus the score808.com i gave a friend there is showing the screenshot.

I replied you and got banned

donjazet:
It has to be said that both mount and havertz are outdoing themselves in being careless with the ball and hang average. None is better than the other. They are both playing rubbish with sprinkles of brilliance.
They both need to sit up and do more..

One of them cost £0, the other £70m.

Exonerate1:
Lampard said he did a good job

Considering his experience, yes he did a very good job.

I am not sure what is wrong with this guy. Trippier at left back. For what?

2-0

I just spotted Zhirkov.
