I have come to conclusion the team needs balance. Disaster and Badashile are dunce. Those boys will relegate any team with their atrocious defending.

But I still think we need striker more. I'm tired of Michael Jackson and madueke Dem.

Airmark is right

Timbros was right too

popizaino:



Say no more.

Is the missed chances not part of match details? What is wrong in rushing to post it here?

Only Timbros is blind to those things.

No serious club will put Jackson as their top striker. Sterling will fail trials like Boathand, if he returns to Liverpool.

So we are talking of a chance that could have given us the third goal to win the match abi?

So two goals is no more enough to win matches for us?

Why is Haaland topping this same Chances Missed table?

airmark:


Your analogy is foolish.

As usual, Chelsea are among top 4 teams that create big chances weekly but we are missing them in loads. That's why we are where we are.

We have defensive issues, and one could blame it on injuries to Reece, Fofana, Chilwell. What's the excuse for your great Sterling, not to have scored the third yesterday?

Slowly but surely we are getting there.

Priority should be on attack. That has always been my stand, while we expect injured defenders to return.

If we have 100m to spend, the bulk should be spent on our attack, not 50/50.

Airmark is wrong. He says our team doesn't need balance. If we fix attack, everything will be alright.

I have been preaching balancing the team since day 1. Airmark even mocked me for saying we need balance in the team.

Liar.

This has always been your stand below...

When you make a statement and end it with period what does it mean? Nothing more, nothing less.

Airmark don't come here and start shifting post that you even for a second agree that Chelsea have problem in defence.

Below is my detailed response to Jodera when he asked a genuine question about how to improve our team. This post was made on February 20th.

timbros:




If I can get ONLY 3 players with 200m, I'll get a CB and CF. The last spot will be either of LW/RB/LB.

Fofana, Chilwell, James all have terrible injury records. Silva is already semi retired. These are defensive positions that needs reinforcement critically. I have not even mentioned the goalkeeper department.

Our left and central side of attack currently needs upgrade.

So you see that our problem is not just attack.

And apart from just signing players, we need a coach that can actually upgrade the players we currently have. A different coach can come in and change these crop of players to monsters and drop the jaw of football world. These are young players that can be moulded.

Mourinho came into Chelsea in 2004 and suddenly Geremi became solid. Terry became a rock. Lampard already have the talent but he became much much more better. Joe Cole became a terrorist. Even soft Glenn Johnson deliver wenever he was called upon..... All these are players Mourinho met in Chelsea. So apart from his signings, he still improved the players he met in the club.

Chelsea issue is not just attack.

So it is this morning you realise we have injured defenders?

Shebi you don't know we have defensive issues when you posted this?

airmark:


Clown, you want us to buy more defenders when we have like 9 defenders and had to ship Maatsen away.

Thank God your profession is not near any stadium.

Do we have surplus 9 defenders that we had to loan Maatsen or do we have injured defenders? Can you stay one place for a second?

Airmark is right

Timbros was right too

We also actually need a proper goal keeper

Palmer has 30G/A ..not bad for his debut season in the top flight

As the attack is using 'oju owo' to work, the defense is using 'eyin owo' to destroy it.

For a discerning mind on the attack and defense debate

That was posted in January window, when we needed to resolve our major problem - attack.

Rest.

Should I show you our injury list that same January?

What I just know is that it's a down low for Chelsea to draw Burnley after leading twice and both leads came with one Man up Chelsea advantage.

They have no reason conceding two goals against one of the worst attack in the league with one Man advantage

drisham:

One would think he is the one collecting 300k+ per week.

Then I have to say he is wrong. This Dasisi and Badashile and friends are not it at all

BlueMann:
Baba, if I get 120m, I dey go find one correct defender straight. Beta change go remain for one sharp striker

Shey u dey whine me ni

See wetin Saliba and Gabriel did to Arsenal I will say these duo were the most important Arteta signings

Arsenal does not have a reliable striker and they are competing

timbros:


So it's by half chances now, not big chances anymore?

Very soon na quarter chances we go dey count

Once upon a time we were parading the clowns Mustafi and Papasthapopulous . No matter how the attack struggle upfront , Mustafi will find a way to undo their work either causing a penalty or getting turned inside out by Zaha 🥵.

The importance of defence cannot be overemphasized .

When I think of Arsenal defence in the days of Mustafi this is the image that comes to my mind first. Before game settle down Arsenal would be down already even from seemingly tame attacks

The season you signed Gabriel and Saliba there was an immediate improvement all round

E be like say Liverpool dey intentionally allow opponents to score first so they can punish them

We all know how this Liverpool Brighton game will end

If you want to score first vs Liverpool leave it till the 90th min

airmark:

How was sterling a world beater under pep ?

Sterling and Jackson injured?

Are we talking of injured attackers or defenders?

this L done tire you to carry.

Is this an entirely defence vs attack debate or [i][balance/i] vs outright attack?

airmark:

You cannot shift this post.

We have never talked about transfer window. Whether summer transfer or January transfer.

Check my stand again. Improving the team in not only buying buying buying players. Me and you never argue who to buy and when.

Imagine two center backs lying on the floor while an attacker waltz through the 18 yard box 🤦‍♂️
