Well, I can't really say I blame him.

He came to the studio to do his job, which was to paint his bosses in the most favourable light, by any means necessary.

It was the interviewer's job however, to challenge Ajuri for a description of what metrics were used to determine such a blatant lie. But the fool was nodding his head and making agreeable "hmms" whilst Ajuri was getting his shït off.

Palmer makes magic happen

That shot was on for Noni. There boys are now even too timid to shoot.

Where did they find this Mudryk fella?

Onana definitely has Bakayoko characteristics. The only difference is that he is way more athletic, however his touch and his awareness, and hence his ability to receive the ball on the half turn are quite suspect. He looks like somebody who will be vomiting the ball under pressure, like a pregnant woman. I don't watch Everton a lot, so i can't say for sure. One thing that is obvious though that because he is a physical mismatch for almost any midfielder, he will be great for a team that plays on the transition.

He is not even a similar player to Partey. Partey's injury just phucked him up. Africa normally does not produce players with his qualities.

Going by his stats, Onana makes 1 bad touch in 2 games, and is only dispossessed once in 3 games.

His pass completion rate of 85% is actually very respectable in a direct ball Sean Dyche team, that only knows nasa and budey.

I also don't watch Everton that much, so you might well be right. But his numbers don't shout Bakayoko to me.

.....Omojuwa, Musbau and co are already calling for a re-match, to represent Twitter FC. Maybe we should ask him to organize NL Football Section FC next. LOL!

If its confirmed that one or two monikers will play in this match, it might be time for me to dust my shinpad and jersey like John Terry. There are some careers I have particular interests in ending finally.

iamoyindamola:
Spuds equalizer is very questionable
Gabu played the ball to van der whatever
Very debatable call

Ojoro mottherfucka.

If 'Lads it's Tottenham' were a football club

Smh

Varsenal strikes again.

What s combination for that goal

Badiashile assist for Disasi

1 more, come on guys

Someone said with the AI intrusion into every sector we might need to revisit the idea of Universal Basic income

We thought its the physical labor that AI will first hit with robots but its looking like its the knowledge economy that is getting hit first. Cos all the jobs based on knowledge can be done by chatgpt with minimal human input

Thinking about it, the only people who wont be affected are owners of land based resources and real estate since thats what AI cannot create yet (New land)

AI at the moment is such a funny one. I work primarily on transformation projects almost exclusively driven by PE activity, and so I'm seeing something else that a lot of people aren't really talking about, but yet I think is the primary driver for 'AI adoption' in the corporate space...and it's SaaS adoption.

If you think back to let's say 2012 which wasn't that long ago, most organisations had almost their entire infrastructure on prem, or at a co-lo data centre.

You will have a bunch of domain controllers for resource access and control, sitting on Blade servers somewhere. Your telephony system would be on your PBX system on prem. Your email would be on exchange server or lotus server somewhere. You will have your bank of switches and routers linked to a leased line for your networks. You will procure bare metal boxes to provision for Print server, or VPN server

Your developers are maintaining your website on your own servers. Your finance system is maybe Dynamics AX or Sage or something like that. You would have multiple SQL and SSRS boxes for reporting.

Your CRM is probably something like InterAct. The whole thing is probably integrated (if at all) with something like a Biztalk server on prem.

It was around that period that VMware VSphere began to make waves for provisioning and managing virtual machines. Citrix Xenapp was used to create virtual work environments for dumb terminals and the occasional remote worker.

Then AWS took off and practically ended all of this overnight. Azure came on with GCP and practically rendered on prem redundant, with help from kubernetes, docker, etc.. M365 made on prem redundant to the point where even individual software licensing model per user changed forever. The likes of Workday, D365, Oracle Fusion, NetSuite, etc eliminated on prem ERPs. The likes of Boomi, AIS, mulesoft eliminated the on-prem middleware layer.

A lot of the cloud adoption I've seen in the last decade has been driven by PE business model of taking over a business, cutting costs aggressively, setting up a lean operation, and then selling the business for profit in a few years.

Thr only thing that was missing was a remote working culture, which js where Covid comes in. Everything was already in the cloud, all the people that used to be hired to maintain on prem systems had already been fired. As soon as even the workers could also be placed in the cloud, the logical next step was to replace them with with off-shoring, near shoring, and ultimately AI.

That's my theory on why it seems like AI seemingly appeared yesterday and spread like wild fire. I think it's actually an extension of the SaaS industry, which itself is driven by PE.

Very good points. I accept some of those mitigating factors. However No be your GK person just call Gbanchez abi, wetin? 😀

The other one is that your captain. I am sorry to say, I saw him on Medical school campus just last week. Na doctor una get not captain.

Then your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice LBs are all otu oshi. Nothing good can come out of that Israel.

I accept Colwill and Lavia. Those 2 will make a big difference.

The truth is that even purely on eye test, that defence is as bad as the attack. Na just tomahtoes and tomaytoes.

Using statistics though, everything points to the defence being worse, and IMO it needs as much work as the attack if not more.

If you guys swap only Jackson for a proper CF whose destiny is not under the care of village people, your attack will elevate to a whole new level. Jackson personally has aborted at least 10 league goals this season.

Colwill, James, and Chilly + Sanchez + Lavia is an entirely new defence.

There is literally no replacement in the current squad for Jackson, Mudryk, and as we saw Palmer. We have nothing to offer there.

So when you say 57 goals conceded is historically bad, I agree..but I will also remind you that 57 goals is not necessarily bad enough for us to be languishing in 9th place - like I said, you guys conceded 57 2 years ago and still went to Europe.

Newcastle with 54 conceded are still very comfortably ahead of us right now. West Ham with 63 conceded are still somehow ahead of us. If we swapped ONLY Jackson for a competent striker, even with this shïtty defence, we would still be a lot better off this season.

Games that we have failed to score this season

Chelsea 0 Forest 1
Bournemouth 0 Chelsea 0
Chelsea 0 Villa 1
Chelsea 0 Brentford 2

Let's even assume that none of these teams managed to score, and everything was a 0-0 draw, we would have picked 4 points max from our defenders.

But our useless attackers couldn't even put the ball into the net, and so we only picked 1 point from the 12 on offer in these games.


Diabolical.

afrodoc2:


You even went to Manchester United and they only finished 5th. Let’s stay with the same Chelsea.

Chelsea scored 58 goals 3 seasons ago and finished 4th. Do you know why? Because they conceded only 36 goals.

So this “useless” Chelsea attack has already scored 3 more goals than a Top 4 Chelsea side. With 6 games to spare.

Nobody is disputing that a tighter defence is better for winning league. What I have very clearly pointed out is that even as bad as our defence is. If our attack was clinical, we wouldn't be in this mess.

Make no mistake, the only reason I even joined the attack vs defence conversation is because the people that were claiming attack is OK were failing to realise that our attack is really just Cole Palmer...and half of Cole Palmer's output itself is from set pieces (penalties and corners).

Thats why our own manager came out before Arsenal game to say the boys needed to prove that they were not Palmer FC, and promptly lost 5-0 to prove we are Palmer PLC.

Without Palmer, the boys don't even know how launch an attack. Don't k kW how to put 3 passes together. Don't know how to break the lines.

From a defensive perspective, we know the boys playing at the back are not the first choice ballers. Our first choice fullbacks (including our captain and best player) are injured. Our first choice Goalkeeper has been injured since last year.

Our 75 million pound Cb (Fofana) has been injured since last year. The 50 million DM(Lavia) we signed this season has been injured since last year. Badiashile was the understudy to Levi Colwill until he got injured.

we already know that the defensive problem is temporary, because most of those bums are our bench fodder anyway. Squad players at best.

The problem with this useless attack, is that these bums are our 1st choice attackers (with the exception of Nkunku who's also injured.

That bomboclaat Jackson is our 1st choice striker. The ediots Mudryk/Sterling are battling for 1st choice at LW.

Attack vs defence originally came from the argument over which area to prioritise strengthening - a second string defensive line who are only seeing shirt due to injuries to key players, or a hopeless 1st choice attack who are being carried by a 21 year old seemingly penalty merchant in his debut season.

A capable attacking force would have mitigated the impact of the injury crisis by doing the Lords work in front of goal, especially against the utterly useless relegation dross we've failed to beat or even manage to score against this season.

Samchez, James, Colwill, Chilwell and Lavia will all return and no doubt improve that defence....and then what the absolute fück are we going to do with Jackson?

afrodoc2:


Even that 52 goals, how many times has Chelsea conceded 52 goals in a 38 game season? But you got there this time with 8 games to spare.

57 is very bad for Chelsea but 52 was already historically bad.

Manchester united conceded 57 goals 2 seasons ago and finished 6th. If we had just beaten Sheffield, Nottingham and Burnley..even with the 57 goals conceded, we would be 6th with a game in hand over United in 7th. We would be 6 points away from Villa would be playing us next, and we'd have a decent chance at cracking top 4....even after conceding 57 goals.

What I'm pissed off about isn't even about the 5-0 at Arsenal.

It's the 1-0 defeat to Forest. The 0-0 against Bournemouth. The draws against Burnley and Sheffield.

It's not like we were playing prime Barcelona. We played 3 games against 17th, 19th, and 20th and only took 2 points. That's diabolical.

raumdeuter:


Is this not shameful

Chelsea has conceded 57 goals with 6 games to go likely will be over 60 before season end maybe 65 sef

Newcastle with 54 goals conceded have goal difference of +15 and are still sitting above us on the table.

Last season Tottenham conceded 63 goals and still finished 4 places ahead of us on the table, when we conceded 47 goals. For those that can't count, they conceded 16 goals more than us and still finished in the first half of the table, whilst we finished in 12th place.

If we had beaten Burnley, Sheffield, Forest, and Bournemouth like we were expected to, we would be in European places. These teams are all below us on the table, and have all conceded at least 60 goals this season.

If our defence is bad with 57 goals conceded, then what excuse so we have for not pumping Sheffield 20th place (92 conceded), Burnley 19th place (69 conceded), Forest 17th place (60 conceded)

These are the games where we're talking about outscore your opponent.

It's not like we played Arsenal every week. Chelsea are in this position because we couldn't beat the useless teams, and in some cases we couldn't even manage a single goal against them.

For example, we couldn't score against a relegation team in Nottingham. We didn't score against Bournemouth (60 goals conceded) . We didnt score against Brentford (59 goals conceded) We didnt score against Everton.

We relied on penalty and corner kicks to score against and draw with Burnley and Sheffield. Wolves beat us home and away.

Wtf are we actually talking about here?

It's only on this thread I would hear defend against fücking Sheffield.

airmark:
Nihilistjnr, you sabi this your Sheffield wella.

If Scummies like, make dem no pump those guys well.

They should not rush palmer back from injury. That's my only prayer.

That boy is going to Euros in the summer. He's going to have a lot of pressure on him to perform next season.

It's his first full season. Poch should not give in to his short term desperation and plant the seeds of long term injury in that boy.

Griffon:
Outscore your opponents

Everybody would expect to lose to Arsenal. Not by this much, but yeah it was fair to expect a loss here. But 3 of teams we have failed to outscore this season are in 17th, 19th, and 20th place on the log. Another team we failed to outscore this season is 9th...in the fücking championship


If we cannot outscore these opponents, I'm not sure what you're looking to do to the team in 1st place.

Amigoss:


But Palmer didn't need a proper manager na

Nail meet Head.

Jackson is unsaveable

Disasi and Badiashile are unsalvageable.

Poch has a lot to answer for, but goddamn mayne, some of these guys are embeciles!

I'm waiting to hear Poch post match statement.

Where is he? Sleep dey catch me abeg.

KingAzubuike:
Na the money I even waste ontop this useless people even pain me pass. I go carry chelsea double chance at 2.85 odds nack 30k ontop. Mad people.

Ngl you deserve to lose your money placing such a reckless bet.

What a useless club

Ibime:
Enzo should not start again from now till season end, that's my own

They said he has hernia

It's not just Enzo. Caicedo is also another imbecîle. We no get midfield. We no get defence. We only get a Palmer

Ironic that Poch said this match was a chance to show that we are not Palmer FC.

He was right, we are not Palmer FC. We are Palmer PLC.

At least we had more possession.

52% - 48%

We thank Jah for small mercies.

See what Zinchenko did to Gallagher. My God.

BlueRayDick:
Dear Mssr. nihilistjnr , with the aid of a diagram, kindly discuss how Arsenal defence is better than Sheffield utd defence .

Nah you can't quote me to ask any question, after running away for 2 days straight. Enjoy your win, but spare me the mentions boss.

Pochettino has. No clue what he's doing

See subs

nihilistjnr:
I thought we would be like 5 or 6 goals down by now with that Arsenal early start.

We're definitely still in the game, but I don't have any ideas on what Poch can do to change the tides. This squad lacks options. The only clear sub for me is Sterrling for Mudryk.

I can't change the midfield because Enzo is needed for passing, and the other 2 bring energy to midfield.

This team is so useless

I was a fool for thinking it won't reach there...

Destiny dey delay but e nor dey change.
