Dumb fries?

Oh hell nah

BlueMann:
Another win for Strasbourg. Another solid performance from Santos, as well as Mamadou Sarr.

My team

They go into every game as underdogs and win

They've taken points from Marseille and the big teams there


Santos has been consistent

But do you think he can play at this level in England?

For me..1st Level

Dumfries..

Gvardiol (probably a tie or the closest), there is also Hakimi.

2nd Level

TAA/ Tavares/ Frimpong/ Theo/ Pavard

3rd Level

Bastoni/ Phonzie (Bayern) is washed/ James is a remote player

Absolutely

Heard Renato Veiga was class against Inter

I hope their striker won't go 8 matches without a goal too.

Raumdeuter,

This too if Aké is available. This lineup can definitely upset RM.

I got your message loud and clear. You are blaming Enzo for our weak midfield and hence why we are not competitive. That's a big lie! Same lie was peddled here by the usual culprit while Jorginho was here until Tuchel won the UCL with him.

Tackle the obvious problem which is Maresca and quit trying to be sleek.

Not loud and clear enough it seems. I have always said that our biggest problem is the lack of inventiveness on the wings. Everything else is in second place.

If our wingers are able to pin back the opposition constantly with good decision-making, persistent chance-creation, and goal threats; then it reduces pressure on our midfield and as such, an Enzo inclusion is not apparent as a major problem.

When our wingers are timid, don't create enough, and can't score, then you need a solid midfield to protect the defence and ride slim wins. In such instances, an Enzo inclusion becomes a big liability.

You get the difference?

If our winger, Madueke, should be flogged because he couldn't score more than 7 league goals in 23 matches, what should we do about the striker (with primary duty of scoring) managing just 9 goals in same 23 matches?

That Senegal Jazz no fit catch me and Mikel.

So Santiago Gimenez was available and joined AC Milan for €32 million and stupid Maresca was busy shouting 'Nkunku is not a striker' for 3 months until the window closed.

When you pick on a particular topic, nawa for you. What do you expect Maresca to have done?

How will our wingers thrive when your bald fraud have them stationed so wide while Enzo is expected to overload the box. Full back overlapping runs helps wingers to thrive, this is common knowledge. For eg, look at the amount of goals Raphinha has scored because he fully inverts while Balde plays as a quasi winger when Barca are in possession. Dembele is another example too. He is dangerous because Hakimi's runs makes him unpredictable. While our wingers might not be that good, Maresca certainly has made them worse.

But your fraud has our own overload the midfield while we still concede like an amateur team and you are here expecting me to single out Enzo for criticism.

Look at what he did to James the once acclaimed best right back in the world!! He had him fully playing DM while we were chasing the game. Maresca is nuts and will soon get what he deserves.

nateevs still believes maresca is the best coach in the world.

I wasn't expecting a sensible or ambitious manager to defend the shameful inactivity in the January window as he did.

I remember how you were supporting getting that wasteful Garnacho instead of getting a striker, to replace your wasteful Jackson.

Gucciboy:

That's how he was against signing Jackson's replacement, last summer.

Catch me if you can, dem go low we go low. . 15th position already.

Stop getting enamored by names. Honest question, have you watched Tavares this season? I mean watched one game, even if na Europa. You may also want to check his stats. Look up Frimpong as you dey research too.

This season, Dumfries drives into dangerous areas better than TAA and is a better scoring threat than TAA. His overall attacking stats this season (SOT/ Passing) beats TAA.

🚨💣 John Obi Mikel: “Jadon Sancho DECEIVED us! We thought we were getting the Dortmund Sancho but nope, he’s GONE”.

“He’s DISAPPEARED again, doesn’t take people on or create chances or help his team mates”.

🚨 Joe Cole’s message to Chelsea’s ownership and directors :

“You can get all the data you want of a 21 year old that will predict he will be this at 24, but there’s a process between 21-24 where he’ll have to learn in every single game”

“I know from my experience, playing with experienced players around me as a young man was invaluable, and it’s moments like the Brighton game where you need those experienced guys around you. I’ve said it from the very start of this ownership you have to have experienced players”

“You can have all the managers you want on the touchline, Shankly, Mourinho, Sir Alex Ferguson, sometimes the lessons are learnt on the pitch with your team mates teaching you and nurturing you through a situation”

“So this whole idea of these young players getting there, well they might be, but I tell you what they’d be there a hell or a lot quicker and Chelsea would be getting more points and be higher in the table if they would just put some experience around them”

You still have an understanding problem. Again, no one has asked you to single out Enzo for criticism in a post where I just mentioned our number one problem to be wingers. Your obsession with this topic makes me think you are trying to get ahead of a larger debate in time.

Maresca has not made anything worse. You were not saying this nonsense when we were high-flying, and fans at The Bridge were chanting "we've got our Chelsea back". Now y'all are forming online tactician.

And this overlapping fullback talk is half information. Every single formation has a deficiency. It's like the anti-3ATB back in the day of Tuchel and Conte who complained about community defending saying we don't have enough attackers. You can only have overlapping FBs when you pay 4ATB. We don't play 4ATB.

And suddenly we are trying to say he did something to James? Really? James has barely been fit to play for 10 games. If you think Maresca does not know that James has lost the fitness to bomb up and down the right flank without breaking, then you don lost your mind.

James must be conserved and managed. You either have him in a conservative role for now, or you lose him altogether. It's called player management, and Maresca knows a thing about that.
