Of course there is bias in their score unless they use the exact same formula when weighting their total score. That is obvious.

If you can post Kante Vs Dembele total score from both sites, that should be able to prove bias from one or the other. Don't lock yourself into argument that can be disproved by exception using one example instantly.
You might be right.

Buy can you just post the total score instead of just the attack score for Hazard and Sanchez?

Since you believe it, take it.
Can you post the total scores for us done by sqwyaka?

Whoscored does not do 'attack rating or defence rating. The only have 1 rating based on total metrics.

If Sqwuaka is biased or subjective, then their total score might disagree with whoscored.

So please post the total score for us.

Chelsea are top scorers this season. He should go try his luck with another team that scored less than Chelsea.

Does Diego Costa discriminate between Hazard and Fabregas passes.

Hazard may be creating those Wilfred Zaha and Raheem Sterling kind of chances I described earlier ie flash the ball across the box and see what happens.

Or is badluck following him from village all these years to be creating such chances and not copping the assists while Fabregas is creating assist record with the same team?
Using Diego Costa is a terrible example. Based on Big Chances Missed, the only 2 strikers more wasteful than him this season are Benik Afobe and Zlatan Ibrahomovic.

If you have a wasteful forward like that up front, what are you expecting in terms of assists numbers?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by Nihilist: 11:00pm On May 20, 2017
Thid is the 3rd time in 4 consecutive seasons where Hazard is topping the chances created charts.


3 in 4.

Mehn bone story.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by Nihilist: 10:57pm On May 20, 2017
In terms of key passes per game, only 4 players in the league have more than Hazard this season-

In terms of total chances created, only KDB, Eriksen and Ozil have more.

In terms of chances created from open play, Hazard has created more than any other player in the league.

Put Hazard with players who know where the net is, and you will see for certain the level of player that he is.

Beauty of hindsight.

Nobody was talking 3-4-3 as possible solution until Kante implemented it.
I see what you did there. cheesy


The 343 is not that different to a 433 with a DM. And if you go back and check people were requesting 433 with Luiz as DM on this thread.

People were also expecting 352. Go and check.

Of course, 343 would not occur naturally to non-footy professionals like most of us on this forum who have be raised on more traditional formations, but that's why Conte is paid millions....not us.

Either way, 343 was the turning point bro. Ask Wenger.

Matic and Fabregas midfield cannot win league.

Last time we won league, Zouma had to see us through as an emergency DM when teams sussed out to get at our midfield.

Zouma cannot win league in other words.

Kante has provided the midfield difference two years in a row now.

That's before going into Luiz replacing Terry and Alonso ostensibly replacing Ivanovic/Rahman.
What I know is that before the switch to 343, it didn't look like we could win the league either.. yet we had the players.

That was what led me to cuss Conte out when he suggested that maybe our players were not good enough.

As soon as he played an extra defender, our story changed to the point where it became obvious to all that we really only needed one DM, as Matic mostly ghosted through the season.

Kante was able to shine so bright precisely because Conte solved the defensive conundrum, and that switch is the root cause of our win...not an improved midfield

In my own opinion o,

It's 343>Kante>Hazard>Costa>Fabregas

Without Kante, 3-4-3 would not win league.

Even at that, I don't think hensben or any Chelsea fan or any Premier League manager last season can claim he had idea that can use 3-4-3 to win league. It was not part of the conversation. That is what we call Bluewater thinking - or in IT, you call it disrupting.
I'm not trying to downgrade Kante at all bruv. Of course he played a massive part in the title win.

The angle I was tackling was midfield talk.

There is no dispute there. That is fact.
Was Kante not in that midfield before 343?

Chelsea never had no midfield to win title. The only reason you are chatting shyte now is thanks mostly to Lord Kante.

3 goals vs Top6

He managed to open the scoring against Man City in a 4-0 victory.

He managed to score 1 against Tottenham in a 3-2 loss.

Then the last one is against Man city in a 1-1 draw after Lukaku scored the first goal.

Zilch against Liverpool in the league,Zilch against Chelsea in the league,Zilch against Arsenal in the league.


Man...Your boy is a high key fraud. grin grin
As long as that makes everybody else on that list a fraud then I'm not bothered.

This is the same kind of wack statement that led an incredulous Nas to question Jay-Z's sanity with an immortal line

"HOW CAN NAS BE GARBAGE?"

Look at the chart below and see that Lukaku is responsible for scoring more of his team's goals than any other player in the league.

Even Alexis Sanchez has only scored about a third of Arsenal's league totals this season

Don't let me aim my semi-auto at your cartilage bro...

Raumdeuter is just a typical Oyo state political rascal.

You know as dem dey do for that side - the likes of Adedibu, Lam Adesina and Akala don inculcate the spirit of duplicity into their indigenes from an early age.

That's why you can never pin him down to one position. Dayo is the only person in sports section that can hold two opposing views at the same time.

With the potential purchase of James, what do you see in his future,

I think he wil flop. elampiro, afrodoc2, ibime nihilist a40 what do you think

Another latin player who grudgingly comes to Man Utd for a huge fee. I dont se James as someone that will be defending against a full back like Mourinho wants

I want to see how Miki, Pogba, Herrera James etc will lineup next season
I like James as a player, but his party lifestyle is Notorious in Spain. Isn't he the one that led a police chase straight to the gates of the Madrid training ground?

Manchester/Liverpool parole can be super mad for normal people let alone young multi millionaires.

I don't think Elite defenders guarantee goals though.

Goal scoring centrebacks are merely a function of a team that relies heavily on set pieces.

Any Tony Pulis or Allardyce team will give you at least one high scoring centreback each season.

I just think it's important to keep some of these players grounded. A lot of these young guys today just get a big contract and first thing buy a lambo and get full body tats...while still playing in the reserves.

I heard Ferguson was pretty strict in this regard and I think I share that sentiment

Unestablished players have no right to a flashy haircut or boot in my opinion.

If I were the coach, players like Kennedy can only barb lowcut and wear only black boot. The boots can't be a fancy brand either - Lotto, Diadora, Mizuno or maybe Umbro only.
