Mikel wey dy smoke.

All this we colwill talks na package to save face, the only thing Chelsea miss in colwil is his buildup pass.

Currently, Colwill is neither an astute defender or a box commander. There is tendency that he might even keep the opposition onside.

Unless he improves.
You no kuku get retentive memory.

While your jakujaku Jackson was giving us red cards to ruin our season, Colwill was giving man of the match performances to help us finish the season well.

They don't give 2nd placed team in Epl, any trophy that's why Arteta had to spend big on a striker and also on Eze. You may also throw Madueke in.. Do you need a surgeon to open your eyes and brain to these?
So you are free to bring in CWC and UCL when EPL is on the searchlight, but I cannot reference Serie A, abi? Clown.

This shows something important, the effect of a red card is more about the psychology of the players than the actual number of men on the pitch.

Most times when a player is sent off, teams immediately go defensive. Not because 10 vs 11 is always unplayable, but because the players already believe they are at a disadvantage. The mentality shifts from “we can win” to “let’s just survive.” That mindset is usually the real problem, not just the missing man.

This happens often. In many games, you see players who hardly touch the ball or make any impact for 90 minutes. Such a player is already a minus one for the team. On paper it’s 11 vs 11, but in reality it’s 10 vs 11.
For example, Lukaku once played a full match with just 7 touches in 90 minutes. That’s basically like playing with 10 men. Yet the team didn’t fall apart, because mentally they still believed it was 11 vs 11. Psychologically, they felt we are complete, But if that same non-contributing player gets a red card, you will see how the team react negatively on the field.

It happens all the time, strikers with fewer than 15 touches, wingers who disappear. In those cases, the team is already playing short one, but it doesn’t shake them because their minds don’t accept it.

Now compare that with a red card situation. Once the referee givev a red card, the whole mindset changes. Coaches shuffles tactics, players drop deeper, energy levels shift. Instead of attacking, the team start reacting. That’s why we so often see teams defend too much after a red.

I believe a red card should not always break a team, what break a team after the red card is the reaction of the coach and that of players, and the mentality they adopt after the card.
That was a great read but you simply can't deny the physical effect of red card/being a man down especially against top class teams.

What you do after getting a red depends on a lot of things. I'll mention a few

1. How many goals up, like do you have a lead to protect? Is the lead up to 2 or 3?
2. How many minutes left
3. What are the personnel on the bench
4. How many goals behind, are you 2 or 3 nil down?
5. Of what importance is the game
6. Quality of the opposition
7. Etc

Let's say you're behind the 2022 Mancity team that won the treble, 15 mins in and score is 0:0. No matter how strong you are psychologically, if you try to attack them, you'll lose 3 or 4 nil. Say you're 2 goals up, 75 mins, the most sensible thing is to try and defend and see the game out.

Say you're down Vs a team like Wolves, you can actually try to attack and eventually beat them but it won't be easy. Last season, Barca was a man down Vs Monaco. They conceded immediately after but Flick kept attacking and eventually equalised but the man advantage told in the end as Monaco eventually defeated Barca 2:1.

In the 2006 UCL final, Arsenal had Barca on the ropes and missed chance after chance after chance. They were the better team until Lehman got a red, but Arsenal didn't lose their shape. They kept pushing and eventually took the lead despite being a man down. But it's Barca, the man advantage had to tell in the end and it did. Two late goals from Eto'o and Belleti sealed it for Barca. I THINK with 11 Vs 11 Arsenal would've won that game as they were simply playing better.

So while it's important not to be affected psychologically when you're a man down, you can't deny the quality of the opposition and as a coach, you adjust your game accordingly. If the game is very important like say the UCL final. If you get a red say in the 80th min even with a 1nil advantage, it's possible to throw it away simply because of red card. The pressure will simply be too much to handle. So you just adjust accordingly as a good coach.

We conceded 43 last season with Colwill while we conceded 63, 2 seasons ago. Can you do the maths?

Last season Liverpool conceded 41 goals to win the league but our own 43 goals conceded, was terrible, right?

Our coach should prepare for his sack, if we don't win benfica.
Injury or no injury, even if na 2 red card we get we must win.
anything that make us not to win with 60-70% possesion and more shots ,corner,energy, na sack.
even draw the coach should be sacked at once and Mourinho hired immediately after the match. Nonsense.

I think all this injuries our players day get na exaggerated injuries from the players.
Dem dey Vex for maresca rubbish tactics and losing mentality, they are just removing themselves from the embarrassment and waiting for his sack.
palmer have told chelsea to sack maresca, remember the idiot coach removed palmer from united match, but palmer was veryy angry and threw his gloves to the bench and walked straight to the dressing room.
This latest palmer injury is just a fake for him to rest and get the idiot sacked and also see if the dunce can win matches without him or all the idiots so called trophies na him give the coach.
Fofana, which dirty concussion,him too is faking it, even mumu tosin sef.
Na caicedo and Enzo, Pedro just day save the idiot, if they join the plan,e don finish for the idiot.
as Chelsea go decide who dem go back, the idiot or the players.

.. comfort zone ..

Just imagine..

Aren't players like Messi suppose to adapt faster ..

Didn't Ronaldo play outside his comfort zone

Didn't mbappe play outside his comfort zone ..


Lol .. this is just hilarious...


The other guy was mocking Ronaldo for winning the golden boot back to back even though he hasn't won a major trophy for the new club ..

The question here is what has Messi achieved for both the club and himself since leaving Barca..

You dey talk comfort zone .. if player like Messi cannot adapt outside his comfort zone which player is now suppose to..

Oga try something else , this comfort zone na rubbish talk..
The way you guys interpet facts dey muzz person walahi.

Yes Messi scored only 6 Ligue 1 goals in his first season which was a huge drop off from his usual standards, but does it erase the fact that he made it up by banging 21 goals with 42 total goal contributions in his second season in same league? Obviously not!

Why are you ignoring his second season success in France on the back of which, in combination with the World cup win, he won the ballon dor?

You guys talk as if your same Pendu did not flop in his second season of return to the EPL. [/b] I mean Ronaldo had a measly ONE EPL goal in the entire first half of 2022/2023 season before he was disgraced out of England and shipped off to Saudi. [b] Looking at it now, this is even worse than Messi's 6 goal league tally.

Why are we not focusing on that? Because it's irrelevant over a career span of mostly ups and few downs which happens to any great player.

Ronaldo de lima scored a total sum of 4 goals in 2005/2006 season in Spain and 2 goals in 07/08 in Serie A.

The point is Messi has had successful stints in Spain, Argentina, France (22/23 season) and the US over his career. These are facts that cannot be argued with. A single 11 goal blip of a season cannot brush off this unparalleled success. After all which great player has never had a dip in their careers.

Shuo!

Maresca is too stubborn for a rookie coach that he is.

There is no guarantee we will win today match with this lineup nor even Liverpool match.
