nihilistjnr:
Leeds go lana if they keep trying to play this expansive style of football.

This is not the championship

I don deploy my Wildcard already,

I dey watch united and city carefully this GW

Exactly. Their forwards are scoring for now. It when they are out form or Injuries hit that is when they will know

Mehn for the punters e be like say na over 2.5 be the sure bet now o. Maybe this would be the season someone would hit the 3000 mark.

Helder Costa seems to be another good choice I made. 20 points and counting in the last GWs

The 6-6.5m strikers have been decent in the first GWs. Bamford, Mitrovic, Wilson, DCL

patrickmuf:
Pace? yes...
Skill? I didn't see it o! Abi running is now a skill?

I was talking about his close control with the ball, it helped get the penalty besides he attempted three dribbles and completed two.

Ibime:
What do you expect manager to say? He is talking about a multimillion asset and can't demarket him in public. Say and do na two different things. As soon as Mendy comes in, Kepa is straight to the bench.

Don't mind my post jare. Just that the confidence part hit my heart in a bad way.

ennyjay72:
wetin concern courtois

The snake put us in that ugly position in the first place

We definitely want to close that gap to Liverpool, we have to have intentions to be up there even though it is a big ask to win it. We are behind, it's step by step. Hopefully we can make big strides.

"I am happy with Kepa, I saw confidence in him, he is here, he is our keeper and I am happy with him."

Lamps lamps. Bin this Kepa guy ffs if this is a keeper with confidence I wonder what will happen when he isn't confident. He doesn't just have the quality.

nihilistjnr:
I didn't like it.

We played like a team with 3 number tens on the pitch.

Neither kante nor Jorginho seemed comfortable to drive with the ball from midfield, and RLC continued to play as a second striker...as a result there was that disconnect in midfield.

Similar tactics Vs Liverpool would be suicidal. Kovacic is sorely needed in the pivot

We were bailed out today by individual displays. In tactical terms, Lampard was out-witted...though I'm willing to consider that Lampard's hand may have been forced due to fitness issues

Havertz was also too jittery for me today. He's fortunate it was an away game...in Corona season. Shed end boys don't play that

What did you think?

Spot on. Mount was completely out of the game, forgotten the man played despite completing the 90.

nateevs:
I believe the deal is done. Announcement I believe is what is left.

We must not go into the Liverpool game with Kepa.

What did you make of the tactics/formation today?

I am guessing Lampard knew we didn't have the fitness so he didn't set us up to control the game rather he choked the midfield and looked to counter and play in werner and RLC behind the defence. It wasn't totally successful sha but it got us some good counter moments.

Werner should come out well for us. Pace and skill is there. Kai did a job defensively which is ironical considering it was purported to be his weak point. RLC and Kepa to the bin as fast as possible, Kepa especially nothing can be done about him. RLC, I hope for his sake he gets his fitness and confidence back.

Thank you James at least one choice I got right.

ennyjay72:
BBC na werey

19 goals conceded from outside the box since his debut. This guy needs to be binned.

Nice one Zouma.

All the people involved in this Kepa buy directly or indirectly must be rewarded for their wickedness. From the Chelsea scouts, Sarri to Courtois and the Spanish media. Wtf any decent Long shot is beating this dude.

Almajirihunter:
The way he runs sef is so annoying
Might just be another overhyped trash

Injury hasn't helped him but then baby sitting is over.

Lol lamptey just dey use Alonso do 100m senior boys.

Lallana glass legs has broken again. Talking of glass abeg it time to cut our 'loss' on RLC. If he wasn't youth guys would have been on feasting on his flesh by now.

The lack of physicality in this backline mehn. We are being bullied here.

Rlc and James in this match are just short one.

Nice cross from lamptey. Brighton seems to be fitter than we are.

At least the average height has increased in the team. Ktbffh

I starting to believe Lampard doesn't rate Hudson odoi. I don't rate him either but mehn....

This country sha God help us o. People live in this irritating buildings. How can they learn anything that would help this nation?

MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head

Chelsea are the only opponents Brighton have played a league fixture against without ever winning. The 1-1 draw at Amex Stadium on New Year's Day was Brighton's first point against the Blues, and came at the 10th attempt.
Albion's only competitive victory in 14 attempts against Chelsea came in their first meeting, an FA Cup tie on the south coast in January 1933

.Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton's tally of three victories in their 18 Premier League fixtures in 2020 is the lowest of any side currently in the division (D9, L6).
Nonetheless, they recorded their highest Premier League tally of points (41) and goals (39) last season, as well as registering their fewest defeats (15).
They can win their opening league fixture in successive seasons for the first time since 2010-11.
Albion haven't lost a league game on a Monday in 10 attempts since an April 2015 defeat by Rotherham. All five of their Premier League games played on Mondays have been drawn.
Adam Lallana's failure to score or provide an assist in his nine league games against Chelsea is his worst record against a top-flight club.
Chelsea

This is the third time Chelsea are starting a Premier League campaign on a Monday, with the Blues going on to win the title on the previous two occasions in 2014-15 and 2016-17.
Twelve league defeats in 2019-20 equalled the most by a Chelsea side in a season since Roman Abramovich became owner in 2003.
They lost their final two competitive fixtures of the 2019-20 campaign and could suffer three straight defeats for the first time since May to August 2006.
Chelsea conceded 54 Premier League goals last season, just one short of their club record. Nine clean sheets was their joint-fewest in a Premier League campaign.
Frank Lampard's side kept only one clean sheet in their 19 Premier League away matches of 2019-20, in a 2-0 win at Tottenham in December.
New signing Timo Werner scored 28 league goals for RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga last season, the fourth highest tally in Europe's top five leagues.

iamoyindamola:
Odoi

Lol wetin funny.

All my hopes are on my Chelsea trio of odoi, werner and James, perhaps Jimenez too sha. Anything less will make it my worst opening to FPL.

Everton players like DCL and digne might just be good differential this season. Richarlison is too wasteful if not he would have been a good addition.
