You moved your RB to CDM to play help defense against Nuno, Kvara. Apart from playing Gusto. Moved Neto to play LB so Cucu could tuck in and play help defense as well as to neutralize Hakimi. You got NOTHING from his wing all game. Meanwhile, Hakimi created 2 clear chances. You've forgotten your GK made a worldie vs Dembele & Doue missed a sitter.

Your 3 goals came from Nuno's side who made 1 mistake in losing that header to Gusto. 3 of those goals came from 1 long ball to the space Nuno was leaving. Route 1 football.

That's why it didn't work against Bayern and probably won't work against any other big teams. Without fortuitous long balls & a lethal Palmer, your tactics was ZERO.

Talmbout dominate. Miss me.

Bro, how many weeks now, you are still salty about our Club world cup triumph.

Move on.

Hakimi's ability to play multiple position is a strength. He is the tactics himself.

But James' ability to do the exact same thing is a weakness. Lol.

The same people who warned you against the wack Pochetino are warning you against Glasner but just like it was in the past, you've refused to listen.

Glasner is not dominant in his approach and we could actually aim higher if the idea is to change coach. You can check his stats at Frankfurt down to Palace. He's not gonna help you win a 38 game league. He can be more helpful in knockout games though. Like Poch, he's better with small clubs with limited budget, once he's given money to spend e go be whahala ooo.

I may be wrong so time will tell as always.

The fact that i disassociated myself from pochettino after his 3rd game should tell you i wasn't wrong about him. I did that while you people were still supporting him.

While Glasner might not be all that to you,the truth of the matter is Maresca's pattern is not sustainable and can't lead us anywhere even with everyone fit.

Vini is now the most wingers ?

Hakimi best season in football was last season and there was no time in James career that he came close to that

If Vini at his peak could pick James ahead of your Hakimi that he ran ragged multiple times, bring another winger with 2 UCL medals, that heaped similar praises on Hakimi.

After Poch, your opinion on coaches should henceforth be taken with a pinch of salt.

Get me a pinch please.

What is my opinion about pochettino?

Why should we miss a defensive minded player when we can easily outscore opponents with the millions we spent in attack? Remember that the board listened to you and spent heavy on attack? Remember? Or should I dig out the post you listed how much we spent on attack vs the little we spent on defence? Remember you claimed the board listened to you?

Why are we now missing a defensive midfielder and a defender? Can't we simply outscore?

I knew you are praying for all players to get injured so you can type this nonsense above. I also know you were pained with the World club trophy we won, but long may it continue to pain you.

I think this is exactly how Man U fans celebrated Amorim when his team defeated Pep Guardiola’s side in the Champions League match . The scoreline was 4–1, and their thread was bubbling with joy as though their saviour had finally arrived. Even I, as a rival fan, was shivering then, thinking Man U were about to rise again. But now , we all saw how e dey go.😂

Key difference is that Amorin came from a Portuguese league while Glasner is already doing it in the epl.

Answer the questions nah. So you are just realising the importance of a balanced team. You don't know the importance of Lavia when you were mocking a balanced team. Now that the board have listened to you and spent millions on attack, why can't we outscore opponents easily, not minding how many goals we concede?

Both you and the board denied Maresca a defender when Colwill got injured. Now you are missing him. Wetin dey worry una?

Did you just support him for 3 games? How long have you been campaigning for him even before he was appointed?

Whenever you engage your fellow CFC fans, I'll be thinking to myself "he's making solid arguments" but whenever you react to my posts, I wonder what happened to the same person.

What part of I like Reece did you not see?
What part of Reece has shown similar traits but he's a 6 at most of them where Hakimi is an 8, walked by you?

The reason I'm calling him out on this matter is he wasn't deployed in his best position vs PSG. Shouldn't that count against him? In other words, he was made to adapt.

However, Hakimi starts games being the manager's plan to win said games. Not do a job. To win it. 7 Up man, the difference is clear.

Salty? Why una dey project like this?

You're the favorites for the UCL & EPL. What more do you want me to say to prove I respected your win? I did.

But I won't settle for fables like dominated midfield or superior tactics that some have claimed here. Leopard vs Dalmatian but you should be able to spot the difference.

That World champions tag must pain you for 4 years.

You can't stop telling lies, can you? Post where I asked Chelsea not to sign another defender after Colwill's injury?

What is Hakimi's best position? Let's assume it's RB. Shouldn't it count against him, like James, in those matches he was deployed in RW or any other position not his best position?

What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

We are not 2 year olds here Oga.

Make no mistake, a fit James is number one name on every coach match day team list. Just like Hakimi according to you, James start games being the manager's plan to win said games. Do you for a second think Gusto pushed James to midfield in that final? You must be joking. The manager's plan to win that final is James in midfield to neutralise PSG midfield 3 and it worked out perfectly. 100 percent.

You should have ask me to post where you talked directly to Maresca and told him no defender for him.

I have been asking you for days now proof where I said Lavia never played 3 consecutive matches for us and you have been running from pillar to post trying to evade that question.

You're talking about facts but no evidence suggests you disassociated yourself from wack/mediocre Poch after game week 3. Let's even assume you did, the appointment of Poch took us 2 or 3 years behind. You glamoured for a manager all through the season then you abandoned him after game week 3. Na so them dey run a successful company? Lol.

I think Ganser will do well for United because of where they're currently are with Amorim. He can help them with a top 5/6/7 and it'll be a success because Amorim have set the bar so low. However, once United is back to the big time say top 2/3/4, he'll be sacked because then the standard will be much higher.

Like I said, we can actually aim much higher if the idea is to change coach. Glansers style is not sustainable for a sustained league performance.

I reiterate, I may be wrong so time will reveal alot of things for us as always.

You're arguing like a 2-year old unfortunately. And I'm not sure I want to waste my time.

Let me give you something to ponder on. Between Gusto and Reece who was better in that final? Use data to prove your point.

Your time starts now.

When people were showing you that Hakimi stats are significantly better than Reece's, you claimed its because PSG are ultra attacking and have one of the best teams in the world.

LOL. Perhaps, PSG are ultra-attacking and one of the best teams in the world because Hakimi plays for them? Wild thought I know. Perhaps, he has those great stats because the manager sets the team up to maximize that aspect of his game, no?

Maybe your manager should be doing same for James. After all, he does it for Palmer, yes?

Exactly. LOL

More than half of Crystal Palace team are born again Christians from their captain Joel Ward who just retired to Lacroix their Pastor, to Richards to Munoz to Jefferson Lerma to Nketiah to Guehi to Eze. These are good boys that fellowship together and give their all.

Make Glasner come try am with the wereys we get for Chelsea like Garnacho and co. Even Jehovahs son Chalobah won't save him here.

You just asked a question like an 18 month old.

Was it Gusto brilliance before the match that put James in the middle or was it the manager's tactics that put him there?

Your time starts now.

You can't judge a player whose been on sickbed for 4 years against a player at peak fitness

Fitness is everything in football

Both are the two best right backs in football at peak fitness

What about judging the player with his performance while he was fit? Why can't his stats while fit be compared with that of the other player they claimed he's not better than?

Remember it was EmaPrince that boldly made the claim unprovoked that "a fit James is better than Hakimi offensively and defensively "

We watched a fit James in 2021 and we disagree with Emaprince's claim because clearly Hakimi 2025 is definitely superior by eye test and by Stat.

Emaprince:
A fit reece is better than hakimi both defensively or in attack.

And what has oir complaimt has to do with CWC where we totally outclassed PSG?

They won barca ..and we are having a torrid time doesnt mean nada

Come on now. Even a non Chelsea fan should know this. James plays as a RCB or an inverted full back cos of his fitness concerns. He's been struggling for fitness for years, so the coach has sought to protect him by using him in positions that are not as demanding as his normal position. It was only very recently that he started moving forward regularly, and you could see the outcome against Man U and Brighton.

If you genuinely believe James is playing RCB or midfield because MALO GUSTO has chased him there, omo I dont know what to tell you 😂
