Chelsea has lots of players but lack the needed quality to bring in a different perspective on a game like this. Majority of the players on the bench are average at best and I think the situation is confusing the coach. cheesy cheesy

Jackson for instance was very wasteful today, but he kept Brentford defenders at bay and his link up play was fantastic. Naturally, the coach would have thought of replacing him early on. But Nkunku (his supposed replacement) doesn't have that stamina to do what Jackson does upfront. It's always like that with him, he comes on and the whole frontline goes quiet. angry angry

Secondly, Enzo Fernandez should have been replaced as well. But again, who will come on and bring the same quality? I think he should have brought on Lavia (I don't know if he was fit though) to shore up that midfield because it was obvious that he wanted to hold on to that lead. Maresca's hesitation would have costed us this match.

In summary, Chelsea played well and were quite lucky that Brentford didn't equalize.

Liverpool don't have issue with Chelsea picking 3points. It's healthy for EPL.
I know they can't sustain their streak even if they become number 1 in the league.
Anyway, they have said, they are not in title race..

Liverpool's issue is with Man shitty and Arsenal.
But Liverpool needs to get back to winning ways in their next game against Tottenham. No more slip ups.
However, Congratulations to Chelsea. Keep improving

Congrats to the boys anyway, this was a deserved win most especially when you you remember how a torn on the flesh Brentford have become in recent years....

The game in which Jao Felix and Palmer started together was Chelsea's most dominant game this season.

It is the coach that is still very confused about his best players.

Felix is a highly skillful and intelligent player. It was when the coach wanted to begin integrating him into the team that Enzo woke up and started scoring. So the coach had to abandon that palmer / Felix synergy that he wanted to create.

And it became difficult to drop Enzo Fernandez.

A game that contains Enzo Fernandez, Jao Felix and Palmer will be too much in fluidity and creativity.

RavenMaster you quoted was right. Joan Felix lacks the strength this team needs. Yes he is creative but also lazy. That game was against Southampton, the worst team in the league, see watin tottenham wire them for 1st half.
A Felix in high intensity match na no no. Unless we are many goals ahead, same with Nkunku. Watch our match against tottenham, despite already winning 4:2 we still dey dominate, dey control the press, but immediately they comot Jackson and Palmer put Nkunku and Joan. The front line just went flat and we conceded the 3rd goal with fears for a 4th.
Abeg, even with the way Palmer walks and looks frail you go think say him na paper but the pressing and energy him brings Felix and Nkunku no get am.

The only substituted options wey bring equal quality is the wings of Neto/madueke/and surprisingly Sancho they all can press and have their creativity.
Also Latvia/Enzo looks evenly, but Enzo just has an edge with the creativity and running into the right space.

Caicedo like this no get any sub. The moment this guy carry injury walahi we go to feel am. Nobody fit play that his wing, baba to sabi for that role and he has grown into it.

A game containing those 3 against pressing, intensive team we go too collect

[quote author=abc115 post=133311205][/quote]Chelsea can continue living in denial but whether they admit it or not, their form and the PL table says it all. They are now title contenders !!!
City is in crisis and I suspect that by the time they recover they will only be playing catch-up. Arsenal is not playing like we saw in the last two seasons, so they will only end up fighting to be in the top four. For me the title race will be between Liverpool and Chelsea based on current realities. From an Arsenal fan

Oga you clearly underrated Brentford, a team that defeated Chelsea four out of their five times meeting. That club has the most rugged stubborn white boys in the premiership. I was scared the coach wasn't using the bench, Sancho palmer and Jackson ought to have been sub
