Chalobah was a sissy there.

Gusto was in a similar situation with Mitoma minutes later, and he swiftly got the ball ahead of him and shrugged him off. Chalobah is usually jittery in crucial moments when he is on 1 v 1 against a daring attacker.

Maresca would be seeing players making the same mistakes and he wouldn't correct them.

Colwill was too casual on the ball such that he easily becomes a target by opponents. These guys don't use their bodies and arms to shrug off opponents to gain full control of ball possession. An eye-sore, what the team have become under this kindergarten coach.

He said the club did all needed to be done in the window without getting a striker. Absurd.

I swear I felt the venom in that response

Ibime:
Nothing like that. That touch gave him no time to react. Defenders are trained on probabilities, they defend against likely outcomes and don't try to anticipate someone doing something out of the ordinary. If you position to defend an unlikely move, you will get suckered by a basic one.

The great Ayala is not stupid for Bergkamp doing the same thing to him

Swearagad. It came straight from the heart like Bryan Adams. 😀

I agree with the bolded...

Mitoma's touch was top notch, no doubt but the fact that Chalobah got so hypnotised to the extent that he did virtually NOTHING to prevent the eventually shot (the likely/obvious outcome in this context), is the crux of the matter here...

Mitoma fit dress ball from now till kingdom come but like you said, the likely outcome was always going to be a shot on goal and Chalobah DID VERY LITTLE to block the shot, or atleast put Mitoma off..

That feeble/non existent attempt to prevent the eventual shot that resulted in the goal is unacceptable.

DeadPresidents:
Enough to vex tbh. Ibime was talking about shît that happened in The Summer of 69' when man is in present day pain

airmark:
This one is different from Chalobah's.

Look at the ball on air encircled in red and the closeness between Chalobah and Mitoma and he still got the ball ahead of him. This is shitty defending at this level bro.

afrodoc2:
Every excuse Ibime makes, he makes for Nwa Jesus.

Colwil does not get that level of understanding. 😢

Ibime:
Nothing shitty about it. They are both running backwards meaning a header is out of the question. If you are suggesting Chalobah stick out a leg to clear the ball while running alongside Mitomas whose body is in-between the ball, then you have never played centre back before. Any attempt to make a first time clearance here is running high risk of clattering Mitoma and red card. Every sensible centre back will let him attempt the control and then gobble up the loose ball out of play, but nobody expects his touch to kill the ball dead and switch the odds in his favour

Ibime:
Nope the touch took the ball away from Chalobahs centre of gravity. His body can't adjust to switching to his left that quickly. Anyone that's played football knows this

What will happen 99 times out of ten there is Mitomas touch will bounce a little bit from him, about 5 yards, and Chalobah will just eat it up with a clearance

The fact he killed the ball dead means Chalobahs bodyweight is already geared to pick up the loose ball in front of him, but the touch allows him to cut inside away from Chalobahs centre of gravity without a reaction

airmark:
I made mention earlier that most of our players don't make use of their bodies and arms to full effect to get an edge. If i get the image or video of same situation involving Gusto and Mitoma minutes later, i will post it to make it easier to grasp. Gusto didn't allow him to control the ball and he gained possession. Mitoma was unruffled as Chalobah failed to do the needful without causing incursion.

Gambit001:
Are you sure?

Ibime:
Nwa Jesus has been exposed to more shaky midfield and never crumbled weekly like Colwill does.

Mind you, you don't judge a Centre back when his midfield is non existent. You can see how Akanji, Dias and co are fumbling this year and how VVD fumbled after Fabinho lost his legs before the coming of Gravenberch

Ibime:
Was Gusto last man?

airmark:
Yes he was.

Gusto swiftly ran in front of Mitoma before the ball landed and he couldn't gain possession of the it. Calculative.

Ibime:
Gusto is a small man

Because Kanye can run Infront of a man to steal ball without censure from referee doesn't mean Matic can do the same thing.

raumdeuter:
Is it true that Chelsea has only 3 clean sheets all season

I blame Nackson

airmark:
It is false.

Now, get lost with your 'No goal in last 8 matches' striker.

raumdeuter:
In the league this season how many clean sheets in 25 games

bisqit:
Headline on BBC says and I quote: 1.5bn spent and no striker in sight - how did Chelsea get here? Can you imagine? This spell is from the village

airmark:
We played with a man down with Nkunku as our 9. A whole January went and this fvcktard couldn't get a striker even on loan, when Jackson was on consecutive matches without a goal.

It's hellish having mistakes of SD, coach and players, using Chelsea to learn on the job.

Jamiuokolaa:
But from this quote, the man indirectly says he misses Jackson
