We created same number of big chances as Arsenal last season. While Arsenal scored 91goals, we scored 77 goals.

If I give you what I drink, you will start thinking properly.
did arsenal conceed 60+ like you did?

Thats why you are 6th and they are second.


Keep what you are drinking. I don’t want to think like a citadel

You may be thinking of last season, go back 2 and 3 seasons ago and check his position
How was our midfield when kdh came in?

Kdh is very weak just like Enzo.

Lavia is injury prone, earlier we sign another defensive midfielder like Fabian Ruiz the better for us.
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by Enzo5: 10:24pm On Aug 25, 2024
If united want sterling Chelsea should sell and not do a swap deal for Sancho. Getting Sancho instead of Osimhen what is wrong with this club. Is it Felix that should compete with Jackson

Enzo weak, that hurts but getting another defensive midfielder is not something they are considering why did they let Santos leave on loan

Osimhen available for €65m and Chelsea are not bidding who did we offend in Chelsea
Napoli won't accept below €100m for osimhen. Osimhen money should go for defensive midfielder to protect our defence.

Our midfield is like express way,too open and porous

Andrey Santos went early enough, I'm annoyed at Gallagher and Ugochukwu going out as well.

Now we've thin in the middle.

Palmer/nkunku/kdh are all attacking

Doesn't mean he can hold down our midfield like Gallagher did last season.

Can Enzo x kdh play pivot without defense leaking goals? That's a weak combination

Terrible weak

The agenda driven arguments here will only reduce one's IQ.

Football is a game of 11 players given different role toward the major aim of winning, The 11 players are divided into 4 major departments (goal keeping, defence, midfield and attack), every department must do their primary duties to ensure a win because failure from 1 of the department can undermine the effort of the other 3 departments.

So a winning team must be well equipped in the 4 departments.

Some fact to back this.

For the past 15 years in EPL the winner is always among the top 2 highest scoring team in the league (except 1 season).

For the past 15 years in EPL the winner is always among the top 2 for least goal conceded in the league (except 1 season).

This should enlightened you about how important both
departments are.

You can't be scoring and conceding at the same or similar rate and expect to win anything.
And your clean sheets cannot be in the same or similar rate as your scoring and expect to win anything either.

So you need substantial balance between both of them to march to glory.

Let's stop arguing like motor park analyst and converse like elite.

You're absolutely correct,out midfield is shit and causes pressure on the defense.

Lavia is injury prone so we need another defensive midfielder,l would like Chelsea to sign Fabian Ruiz from psg.
Na 200 million midfield you dey call shit🥲

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by Gucciboy: 10:36pm On Aug 25, 2024
Chelsea get this man before it's too late.

We have only 3 defensive midfielders for 60 games including conference league.

I'm afraid

If weak, it won't be due to KDH but due to Enzo not holding his side

KDH will work well with Lavia or Caicedo or any non-lazy partner but cannot do two mens work like Kante to cover an Enzo

Kdh has always been a worker. I'm surprised many people don't remember him from his early days where he played DM

That's why I didn't complain about his signing. He is at worst functional and will save us from Ugochukwu

Alright but do you agree we still need another defensive midfielder?

Fatigue is coming,if not here with caicedo feeling lazy already.

We have 4, our only problem is Enzo hugging one of the two spots and not putting in the work.

I didn't mean a yellow card too aggressive player.

Fabian Ruiz is quality both defensive and ball progression. He impacts games positively and can score as well.

Like how that became a big argument should be studied.
This argument is far from over, in fact, it's only just getting started! 😂 Expect the debate to continue well beyond the end of the season, with no signs of slowing down anytime soon. grin

Kdh was shaky today same as against serviette. You can't count on him for defensive role. Now lavia is injury prone , leaving us with Enzo and caicedo for 60 games.

It's really scary

Are Aston Villa defenders the attacking threats? grin grin grin

Stop shooting yourself on the foot. By the way,watching the ball more than i do those not mean you have the game knowledge more than i do.
If you watched the game, you would have seen that Villa attack was precise and they missed their chances.

🚨 JUST IN: Al Ahli have submitted initial bid for Osimhen - in access of €65m. No agreement between player and club so far, Osimhen will consider options.

Osimhen value dropping everyday lol
Close to agreement, Napoli sef don tire for osimhen.

He's not lazy. He's only adjusting from what was the tactically-chaotic football Poch was playing last season... which I always continued to say our problem was mostly tactical and not particularly personnel issue.

If you checked before Chelsea, when Caicedo played positional football under DeZerbi, he never made that many errors. These errors will sort themselves out with time under Maresca.

In the meantime, we have good cover.
