Courtois was given Motm award just as VVD was given Motm award in the Ucl final. So, don't ever bring World cup or Euros when judging VVD again. Thank you.
We dont care about polling booth awards, VVD won a polling booth award as a defender whose goalkeeper on the same day was making 8 saves

I dont care if he won the polling booth or not. What I see with my own eyes supercedes all polling booths
Anyone can also use their own sight to supersede your own. I could also say I saw 9 saves that were easy to make by any goalkeeper. What happens then?

The same question you asked about Casilias do the same for Neuer.

You can say anything you want, it wont make it true. Others that watched the games also see the same they dont need to wait for polling booth

They will also be others like me with the same opinion that all the saves were easy to make. Why does your own supercede my own?

Has Neuer ever won the champions league, world cup or euros as the best player in the final like Courtois and Van der ser. We are using your own logic here.

We just have to get the medical team to lie to Pep that Bernardo is injured otherwise he'll start him again vs Crystal Palace. Great player in his day but the mileage on his legs is like he's 38 years old.

Bernardo na short one. Cannot win 50-50 challenge. Don't have legs to run. His creativity is gone
I've complained tire but according to Pep he must reward Bernardo for "being there last season even though he was tired".

Pep is asking too much of Bernardo. In today game he had about 3 to 4 different roles. I will honestly take more of Bernardo than reijnders. At least he's running and throwing himself around. We have no other serious midfield option at the moment and it seems lewis has fallen out of favor with Pep.

You know what? You're absolutely right but that in itself is my issue with Bernardo. If he sits in the pivot with NicoG our buildup will be better but nobody will initiate the press up top, track back at RW to help Nunes & then overlap as RW so we miss out on 3 other areas. Reijnders has admitted he doesn't like dueling so I only want to see him as a 10. Lewis isn't physical enough so teams bully him without trying. Pep will then still argue that he wants a small squad. I just don't understand the contradictions. Why we have to wait on Kovacic & run NicoG to the ground by overusing him like we did to Rodri. That's what pains me. Why we won't just cough out the money for Anderson & rest.

Pep invented the idea of inverting full backs but guess what?
The scope casted as teams found it out now Pep has adapted and gone back to default
Our Pep wanna-be coach keeps using same old philosophy
No wonder Chelsea wingers come up low numbers at the end of the season
The strikers lack service and can't score

I have consistently questioned the way “saves” are recorded in goalkeeping statistics. When analysing goalkeeper performance, there must be a clear and objective distinction between, a save and a catch . The fact that the goalkeeper ends up catching the ball does not automatically mean he has executed a meaningful save. Not every shot on target presents the same level of danger.

A soft, poorly directed effort that functions more like a back-pass should not carry the same statistical value as a shot that genuinely threatens the goal. Treating catches and saves as equal will always do injustice to genuine goal-bound interventions, and such statistics can either inflate or diminish the true quality of a shot and true quality of a goalkeeper’s performance.

Yeah, Courtois is officially credited with nine saves, yet upon closer review, only four of those actions required high-level goalkeeping. The remaining five were routine catches, even if Onana were in goal, none of those five would have beaten him. Grouping all nine under the same category does not accurately reflect the nature of those actions.

So , there should be a statistics for catches and for saves.
So, in my opinion, not all “saves” should be considered true saves.

Consistency across many voices cannot all be mistaken at the same time, When many people point in one direction, the road must be there.
When everyone independently arrives at the same conclusion , it is unreasonable to argue against it unless you get an undeniable facts.

maresca won CWC he ain't your problem,does the squad we have look like one that deserves $2bn? One red card from caicedo we crumbled,a $2bn squad is expected to operate efficiently without key player(s) there's a reason pep man city is still on top despite not being in form.

Even pep go collect with our current set of players, maresca no our problem!!

That is your own opinion, and everyone is entitled to theirs as well.
But let us be factual, Pep will not have Estevao on the bench and be starting Gittens on the right flank. Pep will also never field six or seven natural defenders in one match and still expect fluid attacking play. His entire philosophy is built on balance, positional play, and intelligent rotation.

We have a squad that can complete with any trophy and cwc win is a testament to this, give this squad to a good coach and see wonder,it is about maximising the potential of their strengh, and not using A for B position or x for y position ,and right now we are not using the players we have in the most efficient way. Even with injuries, top managers elevate the squad, they do not hide behind selection mistakes.
If Pep had this same Chelsea squad, you would at least see,
Players in their natural roles
Wide players with actual 1v1 threat.
Midfielders positioned to control matches,
and a team identity you can recognise.
So let us not pretend everything is perfect.
A coach that handicaps his own best weapons cannot flourish.
