I will respectfully disagree there. That was not just luck. The boys worked extremely hard for that trophy - our very first UCL. That was not only luck, that was hard hard, very hard work. Man I couldn't sleep that night.

Like Mourinho said, in football "you have to win by trying to exploit your qualities and try to hide your problems". We did just that.

The current crop of players don't yet have the balls to put up that kind of performance but anything can happen on the day. Anything.

You're right. The players gave everything then.

This was what I was hoping the current crop of players would do when Lampard was appointed. But it seems Chelsea as a whole, starting from the management, has written off this season totally.

If Lampard can motivate the boys to give their all in the remaining games of the season and there's a significant improvement, that will help his coaching career.

Ibime:


Kepa will continue to be blameless and will continue to be the only keeper who concede long range shots every week

Every week we will continue to argue.

One week - "only 10% of keepers will save that shot".

Another week, "only 50% of keepers will save that shot"

Another week "only 60% of keepers will save that shot"

But one thing is for sure is that Kepa will be never be among the percentage that can save the shot

Make those arguments every week and you concede a long range goal every week, and opponents actively try those shots every week

- Go watch Villareal's goal against Real Madrid and tell us how short Thibault is.
- Kepa is not blameless, no one has ever said that but you cannot blame him for that goal. You cannot.
- The team as a whole including Lampard (yesterday was an eye sore) is under performing and the least you could do is to be objective about it but your hate for Kepa don blind you finish.

How did Gallagher play yesterday? Was he any better than the goal post itself?

That header from Drogba ain't just luck. Omo, I still watch that match sometimes when I need motivation.

Spot on re Lampard. Let's see how things pan out.

Some of the best keepers in the world wouldn't save that shot, oga Ibime. Chukwueze scored a similar goal (the match decider) against Curtois yesterday, who is among the top goalkeepers in Europe.

I'm sure if it was Kepa who conceded that goal, some people would have blamed him saying top keepers in Europe would save it.

kepa is better than courtouis no cap but because madrid is winning nobody will notice ,kepa is the least of chelsea problems 🤷 just channelling anger on the wrong person,our attack is too blunt , having havertz and Felix up front is just bad.


Then again our style of play, chelsea have none.


leadership skills is lacking in that team.



can't press.



Then we have cucurella who isn't good attack wise a prominent quality of a left back , defense wise too he is average.



Again our problem big pass kepa,but all I know this season is over.

Does Thibaut Courtiis concede long range shots every week

This is the selective sampling I'm talking about

"Oh only 30% of keepers would save that"

When you apply that every week over several weeks, you find that you have a goalkeeper underperforming all taller goalkeepers in long range shots stopping

Courtois may concede one of Kepas goals, but there are others he won't concede, then you'll find another keeper that will concede the ones Courtois will save

In probability, that's like applying an OR function, the probability keeps increasing

"Man Utd to defeat City AND Arsenal" is a lower probability than "Man Utd to defeat City OR Arsenal"

Courtois may concede Nunes goal OR Skipp goal OR McGinn goal, he won't concede Nunes goal AND Skipp goal AND McGinn goal

In all 3 of these goals I just mentioned, you will find a probability to absolve Kepa in each isolated incident, but not all 3 together

Kepa is an ANDroid, a guaranteed probability

Is Thibault short or not.

Courtois is a world class GK ,but he do concede easy goals almost every week

Go and watch Laliga and see the easy goals courtois has been conceding

You just have agenda against the Spanish guy and nothing else ,you can’t even hide it

Okay, Kepa's past mistakes still haunting him. In the past few months, he has improved massively and condeced lesser long-range shots.

He deserves to be our keeper, though not the primary keeper if we can get a better goalie.

But I think the goalkeeping position isn't our pressing need now. Getting a proven coach, a reliable striker, and a good DM are the top priorities.

I just gave you 3 examples that happened literally within the last month

Yes, he has improved in short range, but he is still conceding one long range shot almost every week

Infact I guarantee that opponents are planning and encouraged to try these shots

We are talking about long range shots. Stay out of it if you don't know the conversation

Thibaut barely concede long range shots unlike Kepa that concedes one almost every week

Bimffo:


But Kepa is also part of the problem.

We can't build anything with Kepa, and Mendy is always have brain fart once in a match.

We need another goal keeper.

KEPA IS BRILLIANT, BUT HE IS TOO SHORT.

I don't even rate kepa like that, I just think he's slightly better than mendy.

When your team creates 0 big chances in a game, the blame should be on the manager not the goalkeeper for conceding a goal only few keepers can save

Only two of those three examples happened within the last one month. We played Tottenham in late February, six weeks ago.

But I got your point. Kepa is good enough as a second keeper.

His shorter arms make him susceptible to conceding long-range shots.

BOX OFFICE ALERT!!!
'Kepa is better than Courtois'
From the producer of 'Potter is better than Tuchel' amongst others.

living rent free in your head huh?

Kepa may be better than Curtois in another universe, perhaps in the dreamland, but certainly not in this Universe containing planet Earth.

Better than cucurella 🤷

Tuesday can't come quick enough,I want to cook

You are forgetting we have had international break for 2 weeks

Add Patson Daka shot from outside the box vs Leicester, that is 4 long range shots conceded in little over 4 weeks

The tuchel effect.miss those days

Shut up you leprous clown

Potter has been playing the same thing for months, you were supporting him

After 2 training sessions, you want to blame new manager for not changing their useless habits

I will continue to blame short hand Kepa, and your eunuch weaklings Felix and Havertz, if you like cry me a river

Thank God you clowns have been crying for creative midfielder as the root of our problems. Today we have Felix, your favoured creative midfielder for the last 3 months and yet our goalscoring is worse.

I will keep saying it, forwards and wingers are supposed to make things happen in 1 v 1 situations, not waiting for any phantom playstation through-ball from midfielders

The long balls Enzo is sending to the wings and front line is enough to make any team score goals if they have wingers and strikers that can actually dribble or use their body to eke out an advantage or overload in duels, but nothing is to be expected from your weaklings Felix and Havertz unless they are given clean tap in.

Get out of here with this rubbish.

The same issues some us complained about when he was our manager for almost two years was still there yesterday. It doesn't matter if he had one training session or hundreds

His defensive structure is still as bad, he can't coach an organized press and he can't make his team play centrally.

Felix is an advanced playmaker not a high volume creator. That's why we were still going for arsen zakharyan even after we signed Felix.
