I'm liking how all the noise makers in attack vs defence Don pipe low now.

Attack is not the problem, Jackson is not the problem. Meanwhile boardmembers trying to secure their investment went out and bought a brand new front 3 in 4 weeks, and are now trying to send Jackson back to Coal Tar FC of Senegal. grin
grin grin grin grin

Their Jakujaku Jackson didn't even score 1 goal out of the 17 that made us the World champions.

What a time to be alive, it's a sunny day.

I like both. I like players that can offer a better alternative to the offensive role that Enzo plays. Both can, but I prefer Rogers for athleticism and ready PL experience.

That said, there's a serious player in Xavi at 22.

I pay attention to cogent stats. Xavi makes 2.1 Key Passes per 90 and 2.5 Key Passes into the opp Pen Area per 90. To put things in perspective, Palmer average 2.3 and 1.88 respectively for the same stats.

2.26 shots per 90 with 40% on target. Palmer ranks at 3.35 and 36% respectively. Xavi has the advantage of more progressive carries per 90 than Palmer and Enzo.

Defensive Shift, Xavi is doing 5.25 ball recoveries per 90 1.3v tackles which trumps defensive contributions of any offensive players in Chelsea from last season, including Enzo.

Flexible, multi-discipline, high- intensity pressing player that can play across the forward line. He's a classic Maresca player.

It remains to be seen if he can translate these stats into the PL.
Another thing I noticed again this summer is that most of the attackers we are bringing into the squad have good ball striking ability, physicality and pressing ability. I think the board seeing how good maresca performed last season are trying to give him what he wants, not in terms of specific players but player profiles.

Am I being too pessimistic by not expecting a specific position finish in the league but rather a point tally target ? Let's say a 75 - 80 point season with a cup win. I believe we are a year behind due to the wasted season under lemon man and although maresca did well to put us on track last season , I still think we are a season behind being genuine title contenders or winners

we can't even choose a player that's not available though
True, was seeing it on rumour mills that we might ask for Rodgers to be included in the Jackson deal.

I like how everyone is saying we are fully stacked this season

So I don't want any excuse if our porous midfield lets us down

I won't call names before they say it's agenda

he can play DM then Enzo and Caicedo can complete the midfield three..at least it's safer than just using Caicedo and Enzo alone

Forget that with Xavi Simons coming to add to the AM mix

Front 4 positions are gone except in specific cup games

It seems Tosin was lost for words most of the time, and the interviewers had to carry the conversation just to keep it flowing. Naija spirit no dey his body, he was too rigid, gave no detailed explanations, and his answers didn’t leave room for follow-up questions.

Would you still rate it a 10 if we don't sign a keeper? Sanchez was fantastic at the CWC but there's still trust issues there.
Even if we get a goalie it's a 9/10 window for me

I just hope everyone hits the ground running

Jose Mourinho: "Okay, this Club World Cup also highlighted a kid who also had a great season at Chelsea, Cole Palmer.

But this run to the semi-finals reminded me every time I went to the US for pre-season with Real Madrid, with Inter, it reminded me of those games we played there.

So, I think this World Cup title is only important for Chelsea, as they'll sell a lot of jerseys with the logo there'.


Even Mourinho know say na friendly competition grin

united were dulling the deal, if they had approached jackson or watkins, which would make villa want jackson in turn rogers may have entered the conversation but it's all good, xavi is a great and cheaper alternative

This guy’s hatred for Chelsea is so intense, it’s no longer banter, it’s a full-blown psychological condition. (Chelsea Disorder) you need help seriously. A therapist would have a field day with this mess! PSG 3:0 Chelsea Half time, Chelsea won't score any goal against Psg, Psg will disgrace Chelsea. Final verdict Chelsea 3:0 Almighty PSG

Chelsea winning the FIFA club world cup gave the competition more prestige than PSG winning it, it was a more iconic victory over the champions of Europe who would have held their first UCL victory as a more important achievement even though they had to defeat other top teams to the CWC finals.
