Ballzproblem2:
Another ugochukwu 2.0?
Ugochukwu got ball retention technique, his problem was running with the ball through the middle, and turning blindly to run, which he has stopped doing, but he is still too slow
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by airmark(m): 9:30pm On Jun 02, 2025
Essugo, a ball-winner, is not bad to add to the group though.

[quote author=Realtord43 post=135603800]Watch this one

Look like another version of caicedo



turn here, just running with the ball through midfield unnecessarily

These are highlights

To study a midfielder type Essugo Vs in YouTube and watch all his touches in a particular match. Eg Essugo Vs Atletico Madrid. Then you'll see how he receives the ball from the defence, how he turns and progresses the play. I watched about 5 matches and he didn't execute one turn, he just pass it back or sloppily turnover possession with a.loose touch

by the way who did frankfurt scam before
Randal Kolo Muani (to Paris Saint-Germain for €95m), Omar Marmoush (potentially to Manchester City for €80m), Luka Jović (to Real Madrid for €63m), and Sébastien Haller (to West Ham for €50m....According to transfermarkt

Marmoush is doing well so far so good but we'll understand better from next season.

you didn't count paez, madueke and neto
by the way did you watch estevao last night against cruzeiro?

my thoughts were can this guy ever be for us what yamal is for barca
Because Maresca plays with double 8s, he's always going to be inclined towards playing a variation of double 8s, which is one 8 and one 10 in Enzo and Palmer respectively. It will be the same for Paez. He will deputise for Palmer in role and everything else. He's not a winger.


One thing Estevao has that you find in Yamal is attitude. Simple boy, focused on career, devoted Christian, humble, family boy. Team player, tracks back aggressively to help FBs. With the talent to back it up, there's nothing he cannot go on to be. I am very expectant.

On wing play, Sancho has a higher ceiling level than Madueke and Neto. Of those three inert merchants, I will stick with Sancho, if we can negotiate a lower salary for him. I have a feeling that Sancho's career will take a turn for good, after that final where actually took a shot and scored. Expect him to shoot more.

Dembele's likelihood of winning the BdO has improved drastically since Saturday. PSG, Paris as a City, Roland Garros, even Macron have started campaigning for him. Popularity contest for a reason. I'm happy for him. He always had the talent.
And then Barca fans deciding to ignore raphinha and push yamal bdor

Heavily tilts it in favor of dembouz

When you don't know where you are coming from,in life, how can you know where you are going to?

That's why when i see some fans here asking us to be balancing defence rather than being ruthless in attack i just know they are not a true Chelsea fan and do not know what we suffer as a club and not this season alone.

As soon as you posted this chart,I had to go and check how we lost to Monaco and lo and behold it was the same old story of not being ruthless in attack enough and not relying on some defensive shit. Or is the defensive partnership of John Terry and world cup winner Desailly not good enough to defend a two goal leads?

This is the same defence timbros likes to reference when he talks about his balanciaga mantra.

Do not get me wrong,i am not asking us to be porous at the back,but what I advocate for is that,once you creat more superior and better chances than your opponent,then the onus is on you to outscore to win that game. You can't score 2goals from possible 5chances while your opponents score 2goals from possible 2chances and expect to be looking for who to blame in defence. I will never be part of that senseless ideology.


Lastly, let me give you how not being ruthless in attack has been our greatest undoing as a club.


2008 title chase, we had an outstanding game against wigan at the bridge,where a win would have clearly put us a point or so ahead of man urinated. We scored but wigan through Emily heskey equalised. Makalele was giving Nicolas Anelka all the sweet passes any strikers could wish for and this idiot kept missing till the game ended 1-1. Although we later drew the final game to Portsmouth or so after winning all the remaining game but heaven knows there was no way Portsmouth will stand in our way at bridge had we won wigan.

Ucl 2009,let me even go with the popular opinion that overbo cheated us,why couldn't we take advantage of a man down and put the game beyond the reach of Barcelona?

Ucl 2015,same story,although the midfield didn't help matters but why can't we be ruthless enough against a PSG side that has been weaken by Ibrahimovic's red card?

And a quick question for BlueRayDick a member of balanciaga gang. why were your fans not blaming the defence line in 2006 ucl final lost but Henry?

apart from him missing a number of chances and him playing in bundesliga, I guess ligue 1 also counts, he is still an upgrade to jackson if he translates his performance into a chelsea shirt and improves.

Watch the goals vs Monaco especially the 2nd scored by Morientes, It was John Terry being clueless as usual and wandering like a familiar spirit in front of the box

BTW Ekiti pikin looks decent to me, but does not have a record that puts him above £40m max

sancho flatters to deceive, I won't buy it, chelsea better cut their losses. At 25 we are talking about his ceiling, if that's what we wanted we were better off with pulisic and odoi

You people have a really big problem here. And it's so unfortunate.

Are you by any chance insinuating that I dislike Madueke just because I want Gittens to join?

The simple logic that made me bring Madueke in the discussion is Airmark who is comfortable with giving Madueke another year after a 4 goal in 31 match season but is questioning the output of a young prospect we are linked with.

Why will you be okay with 4 gials in 31 matches but don't want 8 goals in 32 matches?

Why is it that when someone holds an opinion, you guys will automatically conclude that the person hates the other opinion?

This is so NOT nice!
