All you posted what has it got to do with the narrative that Chelsea overachieved?

Chelsea won the EPL last season and crashed out of the CL second round to 10 men PSG

With chelsea squad vs the opponents, what would have been a normal achievement for Chelsea last season?

Back to all the trap about corner kick, every single coach practice this. And even normal data modeler making $50k a yr can come up with that by watching videos

That Mahrez goal is what inverted wingers do everytime. its like what Robben made a career out of. Yet many would still fall victim to it. Is it that they dont know Robben would do the same thing every time? Robben scored the same goal vs Roma last yr facing Ashley Cole his long term team mate. Was it that Cole forgot about Robben or his left foot

Its when a coach fails that he comes up with all those excuses. How is it different from the 3rd season at madrid? I am sure he would blame someone for not tracking the run of Messi

previously When Hazard would dribble 3 guys to create an assist or a goal what script was he sticking to then? or when Fabregas would pick up a lon raking ball to the attacker or Terry was making last ditch tackles or Ivanovic was heading or when Costa was getting Gabriel red carded

I am sure the coach of Aston Villa too would say his boys are not following a script is why they are at the bottom

For Jose there is no yeye script

Guy, martial's lack of goals is due to the Shitty performance of the team, not his fault, you think lukaku and Vardy would have performed very well to your delight in this Shitty team? Yes or no

sleekdot:
I thought in the post you quoted Jose you agreed it might be the "bitter truth"

Which is why I said its a lie. Jose just said that as a flimsy excuse. its like if Man utd or City should win the EPL now with this squad and crash out of CL second round to 10 men opponent say they overachieved

Martial 6 goals came 1 on his debut vs Liverpool

2 came vs Southampton in a game they won 3-2. Meaning without his goal man utd would have lost

In the CL 1 goal vs CSKA Moscow in a game they drew 1:1 meaning without his goal they would lose it

And the game vs Wolfsburg

Per the bold, what is Martials business with it if he does his job scoring and they still lost probably due to defensive problems?

And regarding the whole martial package, way better strikers with more experience have struggled under LvG and based on Martials skillset he would likely have a better career than Lukaku

dopeJemi:
The noise about the boy is sickening, funny how they waited for the boy's goal drought to come before they start saying this and that, the way we reason sometimes is funny

dopeJemi:
As it stands now, Martial is man united's best and most talented player, and this is someone that just started playing in a league very new to him


When he has impotent players behind him, you don't expect him to score many goals, put martial in a team like arsenal or man city and see if he won't reach double figures, for a club like united to be dependent on a 20 year old who has no experience whatsoever in the EPL, shows that the boy is super talented and his team-mates are just not helping him

"Forget the new Thiery Henry, He is the First Anthony Martial"

dopeJemi:
How old is martial?

How is Giroud? How old is Aguero? How is old Lukaku? How old is Vardy

When you are done answering those questions, you'll tell me their numbers when they were martial's age

I'm patiently waiting, you have from now till thy kingdom come

sleekdot:
So you are suggesting you play defensive vs Leicester?

1. Chelsea needed the win more than Leicester did. So if you play out a 0-0 game its all good from the Leicester POV.

2. Chelsea had more talents on their team than Leicester does and a draw or bus park would be bad press for a multi million dollar side

BABANGBALI:
it is because he can DRIMBLE,that is why i doesn't likes him

It is not funny thinking Nihilist. Combined value counts for all things mate because in most cases than not, this is the norm. Forget what is happening Leicester, their case is a grand anomaly. Let Leicester try this sh1t next season with the same squad quality and depth in the PL, CL, FA Cup and League Cup. They have to enter market and buy better players and bang! combined value goes up.

nateevs:
Those players alone have a combined value of £145m - more expensive than the whole of the Leicester team, 3 times over and the best way to beat them is to sit back and concede possession? Wonders shall never end.

He(Nihilist) was actually referring to a stop-gap,temporary "fix" till the team gets his swagger back.I think.

“ Another is that this season we started so badly, individually and collectively, that in the Premier League maybe the sequence of bad results brought the players to a position in the table where they are not scared of relegation, because they don’t feel they belong to the relegation battle, but where they don’t have the motivation to be champions any more, or to be top two or top four. So I think, from both possibilities, one of them can be real.

It was more of a threat and especially because I think the lack of confidence for Diego in front of the goal is bringing him to other areas. When in front of the goal he is not scoring, when in front of the goal he is not fresh mind and critical like he was for all of last season, he is leaving this area. His movements are nearly all from the centre to the sides, coming deep. Central defenders are pressing him, making faults, making contacts, in the last two matches he made two great movements as a striker, one was against Porto for the first goal, another one was today – normally in this situation he has to score. When I saw that situation leaving the box, going around, I put Remy in the box.

The players that are not performing well, they must feel for sure, attacked in their pride, their self esteem. They have to do everything to get results in a humble way. I don't think in this moment the players can feel they are top players. Or they are superstars. In this moment they have to be humble, they have to look to Leicester boys and feel these are the stars, these are the top players. They have to look to them and be humble. They have to look to Sundelrand next weekend, and to Watford in two weeks' time and say, 'Hey we are at the same level as you are, I am not the superstar, not the player of season, not the world champion, not the Premier League champion. In this moment I am at your level.'

6 points nigga. . . . having played your triple captain!

Of course it's irrelevant because you are fighting relegation.

Mukina2, take note . . . . this nigga cannot get FA Cup code next year going by his performance this season. . . . na Conference code na him sure pass for next season.

Mourinholic:
I don't know if you saw the game before Vardy's goal,but I think that was the plan- to counter.....

Ramirez,Matic and Oscar lose the ball at the slightest pressing from Leicester... If you keep losing the ball like that your best result is 0-0....That's what happened against Tottenham ,and that could have happened against Porto but for Luck and Willian.....

When you play on counter, you need players with great movements off the ball,the very periods when we bypass their pressing,Hazard and Willian aren't that kind of players and Costa is a he-goat......

The 60% possession we had was for 90 mins.... What was the possession when Mahrez scored?? We didn't play possession Football....

When Fabregas came on,we had someone to control the play but with idiots like Rami,Oscar and Matic we couldn't get pass their defence.... Most of our chances were from counter....
The first one was from A Fabregas pass that put Costa in a one on one, A pass Rami,Oscar and Matic will never play and a Movement Costa rarely make.....
Second was from the resulting corner
Third was to Remy in the box, another counter...He controlled poorly
Fourth, He scored......

When we try to bypass the movement by long balls to Costa,Morgan won't allow it

We are 16th.......We won't relegate, sure..... This is the time to play the boys because obviously we will have to rebuild from the scratch.....
Play Rlc,Colkett, recall Andreas, Chalobah,Baker....... Let's start again....

Jamie Carragher has backed Jose Mourinho and pointed the finger at Chelsea players for their disastrous season.

The reigning Premier League champions are now in 16th after Monday night defeat to Leicester and Mourinho was outspoken in his criticism of his players.

Carragher – appearing on Sky Sports alongside Frank Lampard – said: “I think what he meant by the word he used in ‘betrayed’, is that some of them have chucked it. This quality of player shouldn’t be performing like that.

“You can have a bad run – we’ve all had that as players – four or five games, sometimes it may be longer, once or twice in your career.

“When you look at the performances, he may think he’s right. Because if you look at them now, this is not a team being unlucky. They’re in the bottom six for goals scored and they’re in the bottom six for goals conceded. They are where they should be.

“In terms of the players, how they feel, I don’t think what he’s said tonight will affect that, I think that’s gone before.

“There’s obviously a big divide between the players and the manager and it’s up to Roman Abramovich. Whose side does he pick?

“They can’t come back together now and make Chelsea a great team and win things. I’d be very, very surprised if that happens next season.

“Either the manager won’t be there, or they’ll have to completely change the players because I don’t think there’s any way these players and manager can work together for a long period of time.

“He’s normally always taking the side of the players and it’s the manager whose gone. This can’t continue, something has to change.”

Beating Nihilist was as easy as ABCDE FC

"What it is, is people who got some idea, some philosophy, and want to create something like 'We build very well from the back, we have a very good ball possession we don't play counter-attack,'" the 52-year-old added.

"But if you don't play counter-attack then it's because you are stupi.d. Counter-attack is a fantastic item of football, an ammunition that you have, and when you find your opponent unbalanced you have a fantastic moment to score a goal.

Nihilist:
I hope Jose has seen that we're better defending deep and counter-attacking...

We need to play like this against Leicester this weekend. Leave the expansive football to Arsenal

raumdeuter:
No surprise there. You are one of those who said Matic was a world class DM

Matic ko Pulic ni

raumdeuter:
Busquets is one of the most consistent players in the Barca team

They said it was Messi that made him win. Yet he won world cup without Messi

They said it was Xavi yet he won treble without Xavi

If you take out Busquets from barca they wouldnt win those 3 CL, SPain wouldnt win the world cup and Euro

elampiro:
Benzema only had 132 playing minutes more than Suarez. If you remove the one penalty Suarez scored, they will both ended in 15 Laliga goals. Suarez also take free kicks. He plays in a stronger team.

chrisley024:
Well since he's 4th on your table, we all are saying the same thing

The PPRO added that investigation was on while efforts had been intensified to apprehend the fleeing Dick

Elxandre:
Would you pick Benz over Suarez?
