Intense pressinh

Keeping possession and the fullbacks joining in attack .
.we didn't see much of that yday. And it had nothing to do with Chelsea's tactics .

There was just a drop in the teams performance likely due to fatigue and the tactics approach if having this fullback especially Nuno sit ...

Abobi i thought you guys had the chance to stop all this psg dominance right from day one but una allow them kolobi you with Mendes suffocating your gballah, same Mendes palmer and gusto were turning his life around yesterday?
Well wey we go get problem is if floor and wheats no drop 20 epl goals and 10 hat tricks by January 1 2026. Una go explain wetin una really use that 150m buy.

BikeMan:
I was very critical about Maresca last season because of the wrong choices he kept making. Somehow the guy just turned up towards the end of last season, I have to give him his flowers. He adapted to the tactics of some of the teams we had to beat no matter what. Bro made Sanchez launching accurate long balls to nullify PSG's press. His willingness to throw Joao Pedro right into the team with no pre-season is so admirable. I see us doing good next season bar managerial brain farts and injuries.

😂

Another pain and confusion for the enemies. I foresee a slim player who stretched an Italian and confused a french party, winning a best award. I see saka,dembele,vitinha,doue,yamal in vision all in lights, but a brighter light came and overlight their lights and the light stood and seized the other lighters and it's light shone brighter. Na so. As this one day confuse our enemies, when e finally happen e go finally destabilize dem to chaos.

More likely is collect Camavinga + £50m for Enzo since Madrid have shown interest and Alonso has not been making space for Camavinga. This solves Caicedo partner and Cucurella back up at LB in one move

Baleba or Camavinga abeg bring. Anyhow, Perez should please do us a favour with the ghost worker.

PSG lose this match cause Enrique underestimated Chelsea..

If he used his normal setup, the game would have gone differently...

😭😭

lordfalcao:
NO. Baleba is tier 3 version of caicedo.

Bro abeg try go watch that boy games again. That boy combination with Caicedo go be something else.

lordfalcao:
psg won 5 trophies without a traditional 9.

Battering teams from knockout stages 18-0 aggregate. Why didn’t those teams with traditional 9 save themselves from PSG?

Any striker better than your jakujaku Jackson was welcomed by me and Delap and JP did that for me. Your jakujaku Jackson 1 red card 0 goal in the competition. You go cry tire.

Silentgroper:
.if my club was in the competition, it would have been piece of cake ..

Hahaha .. just before this game , Enzo has been one ghost worker, now suddenly, he has been pressing all season 🤣🤣 .. una quicky don change mouth sharp sharp .. 🤣🤣


Ok , other matches you'll play will determine if Chelsea has now woken up or they played an already fatigued PSG ....

An also let's see if you can keep up with the kind of press you deployed in this match ..


Just on heavy press in one game and almost half your players were having their hamstring pulled . Even joao Pedro was shouting at your keeper to calm the fvq down, him mind no dey again.. lol in just one match oo 🤣🤣🤣

all this shalaye, who won?

Gucciboy:
Nice idea a swap deal will do because l won't accept lavia unnecessary absence from crucial games next season

lavia>baleba bar lavia's unavailability though

No more fatigue excuses again. You are changing the story every three minutes. Before evening, we might hear another reason why they lost , maybe this time you will blame the weather.

drisham:
When vitinha tried that long ball gimmick into our half

Only for James to pick it up and throw it back into their own half 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Keep recycling stale words.

“I think João can play in all the attacking positions for us, wide, #10 and a #9.

This quote above by maresca sees joao Pedro as a versatile attacker.

If you like see am as traditional 9. Na you sabi

How can you go from Lavia as DM to Baleba. When caicedo is levels above Baleba.

We should be looking for a Dm levels above Lavia or on par with Lavia.

Baleba is another type of caicedo, when caicedo isn’t even a pure DM

You don’t believe the reason why you didn’t see all these you mentioned because Chelsea brought their master plan to the game?

I am not sure you watched him enough last season.
That boy is very good.He plays like Yaya toure

Enzo Fernández: "When I joined, I knew I was coming to a very big institution like Chelsea, that was in a difficult situation, but the owner showed me his projects, what he had in mind for the future, and I think today we’re finding that, so I’m very happy.

I think I’ve achieved something very good on a personal level this season. And very good things in terms of assists, goals, and titles with the club, that’s what I’d been looking for since I arrived."

Man was crying at full time, tears of joy

Haters want him out. Those who has no idea about football.

Bro, like I said earlier, you should go back and watch some of his games from last season. He mostly played as a DM, though he also featured as a CDM on a few occasions. Signing someone like him would definitely benefit us. He’s got the energy and tackling ability to deputise for Caicedo if we need to rest him or, God forbid, if he picks up an injury. He can also cover for Lavia, especially since Maresca seems to view Santos in a more advanced role. Either way, he wouldn’t be a bad buy at all.

By the way, do you have any DM recommendations?

Good

Una neva still change the title of this thread?

Gittens and estevao are still in the cooler o.

Omooo

August should come already

Your focus should be on your team's weaknesses compared to theirs not just looking at theirs.

I don't recall seeing them score a freekick or from a corner kick but you have Reece James who can score those, and you have tall players like Tosin who are aerial threats during corner kicks. Tbh, those are your best 2 options to score them.

You can also try to limit their wing play by being compact & asking Neto/Palmer to double up with Cucu/Reece but that will neutralize your team's own wing play.

Let's compare the squads;

1. GK, PSG >> CFC
2. Defense, PSG >> CFC
3. Midfield, PSG > CFC
4. Attack, PSG > CFC

You don't have to agree. Just unbiasedly compare the individuals you know would start and ask yourself how they compare. PSG will come out on top overall. They will dominate possession and create overloads using Mendes/Hakimi constantly & both players are better than Cucu/Reece. Better than doesn't mean Cucu/Reece are not good by the way.

Remember, you don't have to agree. Just pretend you're not a CFC fan for a second and do this comparative analysis.

Your weakest point is your defense especially your CB pairing. Your team has faced giants like LAFC, El Tunis, Flamengo, Benfica, Fluminense and Palmerias. Did all of those teams breach your defense? Did they get to dangerous positions? What will a better team like PSG do with those type of chances?

My prediction: PSG will beat CFC 3-0 or 3-1.

Remember, it's a prediction. I'm not saying this will DEFINITELY happen. Other people can also predict that [b]Palmer will dribble everybody on the pitch and score [/b]and you win 1-0 or that JP will hit a pile driver from half way and you win 1-0. I no sabi do that kain analysis.

Spot on

You actually called it 🤝

We too didn't use our normal set cos we were fatigued


If we did PSG would have swallowed 6

Delap btw

He will come good

A proper 9

So, Camavinga is better than Enzo fernandez, right?

Vitinha's greatest attribute is his press-resistance. That's why he splits the defense to receive the pass first from Donnarumma when PSG are about to progress the ball. Truth is, Jorginho was also press-resistant but unlike Vitinha who is doing everything you've said above, Jorginho could only evade the press by passing rightly. In other words, he depended on the movement of the players around him. If nobody made the right outlet, Jorginho will lose the ball.

In Vitinha's case, even without the right movements around him, he'd simply manipulate the ball out of the press. Harry Kane tried severally to press him against Bayern but it was futile. Enzo is alot like Jorginho in needing movements around him to evade the press. But he's showing that Gundogan tendency to arrive into the box at the right times to score, and if he sees an outlet in the attacking third, he doesn't hesitate to make that pass. He's more like Fabregas but with less of Cesc's imagination.

Them press the resistance commot Vitinha body yesterday.
