hoopLA:
Thought he was French?

Yeah... By birth. His parents are Tunisians.

patrickmuf:
It will be interesting to see how we line up today. I hope Amad starts or at least comes in at some point...

Where is Mjebri?

Mejbri is with the Tunisian national team at the Arab cup

donjazet:
You're correct.
Our title challenge this season does rest upon the fitness of this trio.

How about Rudiger??

McT is a mechanic...lmao

Telles and Shaw dey the same whatsapp group

Omo Rudiger has got to be the best CB in the world at the moment.

slimghost:
He is sure as dumb as a sack of rocks.

Maybe, a little

I hope Rangnick will give Bailly a chance.

slimghost:
We have a lot of dumb players. Fred, AWB and Mcsauce; just to name a few.

McT ain't dumb, he is just limited. Fred and AWB legit play like they might have a pretty low IQ and learning disabilities.

That PK was super soft.

elampiro:
Just imagine!!! I wish we had Mata there

I just weak, he had time to pick out the far post o... baba pass give keeper.

See Fred??

nitrogen:
Soft penalty tbh

AWB is just stupid... that was a school boy error.

AWB looks slow and dumb... smh

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Hahahahaha

See what Ole has reduced your expectations to

Chai [/color]

It's not about expectations bro, it's all about payback from Sancho. I am one of his biggest critic on this thread.

izzou:
[color=royalblue] Wasn't he purchased to score before?

The L I'll swallow is if you win.

But spending 70 million to get just 2 goals in 14 games is an L you need to swallow by holding your breathe

[/color]

Oga, hold your L. If Sancho does not score all through the season, this one alone should shut your ass up.

larride:
The God of banter can never get it wrong.

Sancho scoring Chelsea for his first league goal.

E choke

Choke?? E suffocate....

Smash and Grab 101

Sebi Barca looked slow when they played Xavi, Iniesta and Messi. When you play 11 players that can control the ball very well, the game will look slow. But go and beat them. Try to watch Zidane, he looked very slow, but with his technique he controlled the tempo of a match. Same with Pirlo, Scholes. But when some other running-running players are in charge, the field of play will unnecessarily be crowded.

You no lie, Kaka was another one, man was always gliding on the pitch.

patrickmuf:
They defended well and played on the break afar cry from how they're playing today no thanks to our set up.

True! Although it was after the red card, before that the game was balanced. I have written off the league, I hope Rangnick puts more effort into shaking things up than results for now.

Joezinho:
Is rudiger always on coke?

Always forming thug.

Lol... I love him. Man is always hyper.

CapitalCee:
Even Liverpool humbled chelsea beforebthe red card.

Naah they didn't, I saw that match, even with 10 players they were still playing well.

elampiro:
Did you watch 1980s football? Football was more organized than today. Players like JJ Okocha, Yekini, Kanu, Maradona, Platini, Zidane, Scholes, Giggs, learnt their football from that era. Try seeing some 1986 world cup and see ball control from Maradona and co

I was referring to the pressing, pace of the game, etc. 1980s football was more open and slow, bar them Italians.

patrickmuf:
Na that time you go know say na we useless not that Chelsea is all that fantastic...You no watch their game with City? Them press them into submission.

Hmmm.. You no lie sha. City sabi press and set traps.

patrickmuf:
We are playing 4 midfielders but we are still being dominated in midfield...

Ole, thunder fire you.

Football has gone beyond just cramming up the centre of the pitch. I noticed that Pep and Tuchel always expand the field using very wide wingers and wing backs respectively. Then they push up their defenders. For example Rudiger have been playing so high its exhilarating.

Omo... how the Bleep does this Chelsea team play so wide and high up the pitch??

I go like see them against Bayern, make we know whether them go fit choke them like they do teams in the EPL.

larride:
This match you are watching so, is it 11 vs 11?

Lmao... it feels like 13 v 11...

nitrogen:
Na only AWB and maybe Bruno dey press. Others are just running around like bush gods.

It's difficult to press without setting traps, using pressing triggers and doing it in unison.

God will punish whoever gave that permanent manager job to Ole. Dude was just clueless, the difference between both teams is massive. We are playing 1980s football they are playing 2020 football.

when we have the ball it's 2/3 on 1, when they have the ball we are not close enough. I just tire.

CapitalCee:
Look at chelsea reaction off the ball. Our own they will be jogging

I just weak. They are playing so high, it's crazy to see a team play like that. We have had no touch in their penalty box.

We cannot string 5 passes or get past their midfield
