I have been bookmarking since 2022 and literally beating you…

I don flog you 10 times in the last 12 meetings, 4 consecutive flogging anywhere I jam you..

I don tire abeg.. Dis thing no be fair fight again.

Omo, I will never forget this day. Omo the mindset off me.

That's who they are
Yesterday it was no one have scored against arsenal and we did it in 77 seconds

Na Roland dey run mouth like this? Hehehe. Run am well o. Exhaust yourself well well, because the story get part 2 and 3.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
All this excuses won't fly. no soft landing for Shekpites on Sunday

😂🤣😂

Ibime:
First and second runs will displace anybody whether 5ft 2 or 6ft 4

The purpose of height is not to get outjumped and there is no way you will jump with James and win clean headet

Akinfenwa rarely lost an aerial battle but I doubt James is that physically imposing.

drisham:
Barco, lavia, hendo are all available aren't they?

Barco and lavia with palmer as a 10 exist too

Alonso doesn’t rate midfield at all. I wonder how his coconut head doesn’t know that midfield shields defense.

Starting with 5 midfielders is better than starting with 5 defenders.

I'm surprised people are saying there's no midfield to use

Caicedo is literally the only one Injured


You can't tell me there's no way barco, Henderson and lavia can't do a better job than the past 3 games.... At least till caicedo is back



James I love am gann but he's not a midfielder

The 3-4-3 was to protect the defense but we are conceding way way too much. To break Chelsea defence easy die. So the nonsense isn't working and it's even making us lose Midfield battle or maybe that one is Xabi Alonso deliberately doing it.

Prioritising giving shirt to Fofana over Estevao should never be acceptable

I'm genuinely surprised that Alonso who's one of the best midfielders in history didnt prioritise midfield additions. He should have gotten Xhaka, yes Xhaka would've added some positional play in the middle. He also would've pushed for Enzo/Nico Gonzalez swap deal. In fact, he should've added Camara too if he doesn't wanna trust Barco considering Lavia can't be trusted to stay fit.

Still early days but to dominate, you need good midfielders.

If Caicedo comes back and we still continue surrending possession, it will be a big shame to Alonso. This is someone that playedfor Spain Golden Midfield era and knows the importance of good Midfield

Thank you for saying this. I've already taken notes of his comments. He has still not answer my question about Arteta. I can't wait for when him and Oyin start qailing about Arteta again. I"ll mention you,sir, when that happens.
For now, let them enjoy.

Who noticed Gusto had more leg room & physicality in him in midfield yesterday

iamoyindamola:
That's why its funny when one of their fans want kopalma as DM, where will he stand among the likes of makele, essien and kante.
It's like I will join Skimp.ledawg on the mountain to make it happen

I no follow Popi abeg.

Surely, the wait won't be long.

popizaino:
You are always late to anticipate danger. That's difference between us. It's until a danger becomes catastrophic before you back out. Reece James is not a midfielder and i don't care what he did today or does there occasionally. He is simply not a midfielder.

Comment on may 9th.

But as usual,we had idiots who couldn't see pass their noise to call you all sorts of names than to try to understand why you said so.

Roland17:
Na that lifting frustrate baba. See as dem fess wrap and turn grown man like ballerina.

Chelsea are so soft these days. Na decades ago dem dey use physicality intimidate, now, na we dey do the blending and beating at the same time.

Do anyhow, you go collect!

Physicality is what is missing in the Chelsea team. They need a bit of aggression to really compete at the top.

Chelsea player's nowadays are too soft.

BlueRayDick:
But really what was Alonso thinking letting Arsenal have most of the possession knowing how stacked Arsenal midfield is and then the presence of an in-form Odegaard dictating play?

Does he actually think he has the man power to defend against Arsenal after allowing them to have most of the ball?

Abi he bought into the false narrative that the current arsenal team is a defensive team and not a well balanced team instead?

I go really like know how Alonso's mind worked going into this game

The question should be; can your midfield match that of Arsenal?

I don't understand allowing Enzo to go to a rival without strengthen your team.

He is one of the player with a winning mentality like James and Esca.

There was obviously no quality DMF in the match. Else that second goal for ne exist.

James couldn't read the match to notice the ball was going to Harvert. Dude was just following Odegaard instead of intercepting the ball.

I see u have amended the initial post.

BlueRayDick:
U mean the Chelsea midfield that played yesterday plus/minus Caicedo? Abi another Chelsea midfield dey wey We no know about?

We cannot only match una midfield, we can actually march una midfield with Timberland join !

I wanted to write Arsenal not Chelsea.

Arsenal midfield is far better than ours after we sold Enzo.

The club just made it weaker. Imagine relaying on James, Gatos and, Lavia. Krikrikri.

Omo!!! We are in for a long season.

You guys have January transfer window to get any available midfielder to at least stabilize the team.

We should have done that before the transfer market not January. By that tile, things fit done fall apart.

Anyway, make we dey see.

Even with Lavia fit, he isnt all that. His kegs are too short. He doesnt shoot, he cant create. He is just there. Not bad, not good enough. He might do well against small teams, cos we are expected to ball them, but against a big team? I doubt he is the mesiah we need in the midfield.

Barco is good but he still looks young and small to be thrown i to a game against arsenal

Let win one useless team with Reece James playing in the midfield and you will see real Chelsea fans justifying why he should be in the midfield and not at the RB.

We will turn to every top teams's wife till we get sense to do the right thing.

This is untrue.

Hitting keeper's head with boot is never physicality even in the non-VAR era. Drogba, Terry and multiple Chelsea players got red cards due to being overly aggressive without VAR. Officiating in EPL is just now a tragedy even with the use of the VAR.

We lost yesterday's match due to unavailability of natural midfielders with additional support to the dark arts by Arsenal by the officials. A certain Caicedo booting a keeper's head would have been sent off. Arsenal wouldn't play like that in a UCL and evade a red card. That's never physicality but rascality.

When you dont have players that can hold possession and dictate the pace of them game, you will definitely lose the midfield. Caicedo addition will only curb the rate at which our midfield get breached...and also he will add some sting to the attack. Aside that, I am not sure we can control possession against any team with what we have there.

I told you guys that black players are mostly better as defensive midfielders. Its hard to find one that can play number 10 efficiently like debruyne, gerard etc

I love the word "positional play in the midfield" and it's very evident it is missing in our game and Xhaka would have been best fit in that position. That's the same position Alonso himself played at Liverpool and surprisingly he has refused to prioritise that same position at Chelsea.

That position doesn't need any specialty except pass accuracy and eye for pocket passes and i suggested Cole Palmer to be coverted to that same position while allowing someone who can protect the ball better to play one of the final thirds but Chelsea fans and coaches dey always get other ideas.

Dumb ass uncle Tom.

So this ref sef na Arsenal own howard web. Its ok
