3 GA vs Barnsley in Carabao Cup
2 GA vs Morecambe in FA Cup

5 useless GA which is almost a third of his total

Congratulations.


Even the useful GA includes 2 against Krasnodar and Sevilla in 4-0 dead rubber goals. Let's not mention padding against Crystal Palace, Fulham and co.

BlueMann:


16 boss.

10 goals, 6 assists. You are adding two penalties won. Unfortunately those aren't officially counted as assists.

Something tells me you already knew this though.

Ibime:


Hakimi is not my priority at that price. I heard Traore is available for like £40m. Signing Traore can keep the 3-4-3 or play wings in a 4-3-3 for more flexibility while Hakimi reduces the options.

When improving a team, you start with the weakest area first. That's Jorginho and a striker as far as I am concerned before putting £60m in a wingback. Between James, Azpi and Livramento, I am not too concerned about that position.

The last time we went shopping in order to keep a 3-4-3 formation going, we had our most disastrous transfer window ever. That was the year we signed Zappacosta and Emerson as wimgbacks to keep the 3-4-3 going. Both were useless in a conventional back 4 when Sarri tried to switch the formation the following year. We also added Morata, Donkeyoko and Drinkbleach that year.

MorataFC:
This is another one.

Chelsea conceded only 4goals in the entire UCL campaign and against great teams like R.Madrid,A.Madrid, Sevilla, Porto, Man City.
Meanwhile the historians led by their King(Igwe) Ole Gunner Solskjaer conceded 12 goals against Villarreal in just one match, if we talk now they tell us how they won 10,000 trophies during the times of King Nebuchadnezzar and Adolf Hitler ..��

MorataFC:
If VAR were to be exist in Ferguson's time he wouldn't have won more than 8 epl trophy.

Havertz10 dead the argument that Chelsea teams of early to mid 2000s weren't dominant, they were dominant that teams like Barca and Bayern always pray to avoid meeting them in UCL. Also dont say UCL dont have quality teams back then because this is not true, in Valencia they have David Villa, Silva, Albeda, Villareal you will mention Marcos Senna, Riquelme, Madrid you have them Figo, Zidane Raul, Hierro, Salgado, in Barca you have Ronaldinho, Deco, Guily, Eto'o, Inter you have Zlatan, Adriano, Crespo, in Milan you have Inzaghi, Kaka, Pirlo, Shevchenko, Gattuso, Cafu, Maldini, in Bayern you have Ballack, Ze Roberto, Lucio, Kahn, in Juventus, you have Nedved, Trezeguet, Cannavaro, Camoranesi, Zambrotta, in Roma you have Totti, in Lyon you have Juninho, John Carew.

Ibime:
James body type is more suited to a central position. He is too big to make recovery runs after running down the wing. He does not have speed endurance to get back cos his body is too big for that. He has very good technique in shielding and passing the ball and that is evidenced by his secondary position as a DM. RCB will suit him fine, however I don't think that's our first priority. My own is when Jorginho is being replaced and when are we buying a striker

popizaino:


Maybe you didnt notice on time but he was shit during the later part of Lampard's reign. I remember I couldn't hold back my anger when we were trailing by 3 goals at the Emirates and at around 54th minutes or so james had hectares of space before him to attack but just decided to pass back when the closest arsenal player to him was miles away . I nearly wan die .

Period of so called dominance coincided with the most stagnant top 4 qualification ever, the same teams were comfortably qualifying for champions league every season, they met inferior teams easily beat them


got eliminated whenever they met top teams

Don't waste your time on that dude.

BlueMann:


Baba it's 16 G/A. They added two penalties won, and those aren't counted as official assists.
The penalties he won against Crystal Palace and Everton aren't official assists. Officially he had three PL assists, as opposed to five.

It was the same error we addressed here about Werner's G/A some time ago.

And I made a mistake in my earlier post - it's 9G/7A, not 10G/6A

swiz123:


True talk. The quality of EPL then was poor compared to now. But I can't deny that Chelsea had better players then.

The guy is just showing his foolishness and JJC. Na Wikipedia analyst. How can someone talk with so much confidence of what he never witnessed. The mumus only recollection of that team is 2012. What a mugu.

2005 to 2009, not one UCL final was played without an EPL team present.

2005 - Liverpool
2006 - Arsenal
2007 - Liverpool
2008 - Chelsea and Man Utd
2009 - Man UTD

If EPL was poor, the rest of European leagues must have been utter garbage.

Stop supporting that clown showing the foolishness of his youth.

Ibime:



Don't worry about the goals, worry about the points on the table. Any of those seasons points tally is infinitely better than the 60-70 points we've been posting recently. That team always finish around the 85 point mark

Added the goals to show the productive output of the team that according to were dominant, we can use the gap between 4th and 5th to measure the competitiveness of the league that season

it's a fair metric

2005
2 points

2006
8 points

2007
11 points

2008
9 points

BlueMann:


Heii God

Okay...check his stats in Transfermarkt...they'll show you 9G/9A, which is what you're saying.

Break down those stats, and you'll see that he has five PL assists, plus three in the UCL and one in the FA Cup.

But check the PL's official site itself, and you'll see that Havertz has THREE assists. I'm trying to tell you that the other two assists are actually penalties won, and those aren't counted as official assists.

It's the same for Werner.

Havertz10:

Under Lampard 2019 was our worst season in my opinion and we scored 3 goals less than the 72 that won us the title 2005, what does that say about the players in that golden era

Ibime:



Just because Chelsea became useless in this era to be finishing on 60 something points regularly allowing it to seem like there is competition for 4th place, don't get yourself confused. Teams like Leicester are only close because Chelsea became useless. They are no different from Spurs who make 60 something points in the 2000s and couldn't crack top four despite boasting the likes of Modric, Bale and Van Der Vaart. That's to show you EPL was no walkover then. EPL is worse now with top team like Man City making 97,98,99 points and still useless in Europe. If EPL was that good, they would not be struggling in Europe against Monaco, Lyon and co despite dominating EPL. EPL is a bunch of ninny teams now.

If the teams below top 4 in EPL are good now, why are Leicester, Everton, Spurs copping disgrace after disgrace in Europa League against their equivalent rivals in other European Leagues?

Mid to late 2000s were the most dominant era of English teams in Europe and my Chelsea was in the top two teams in England, end of story. This era Chelsea will be struggling with teams they are not supposed to be mentioned with on a normal day.

Ibime:


In 2005, we only conceded 13 goals and finished on 95 points. Fool like you only looks at goals scored. You are one of the gãy new breed of football fans who only see attack. That's why people like you are comfortable with likes of Jorginho manning your DM, whereas some of us are used to Makelele, Essien, Ballack who will not allow you to even get one chance in a match. In 2005, if Chelsea score one goal, you can sleep on bicycle knowing the game is won.

Havertz10:
grown ass man like you can't make a point without adding insults

Only sentimental people that are arguing based on how they feel not what is true behave like that, change your diapers and go to bed abeg, i'm done with you

Ibime:


I will insult you anyhow I want for being an eediot. If you don't want insults, don't come here and type rubbish. From a fool who wanted Chelsea to lose UCL final so Mount will not win UCL, you deserve any insult that comes your way. It's better to shüt up if you did not witness an era than type rubbish. Someone who boasted of fücking his uncles wife is asking for respect in conversations.
