You understand statistics and probability at all?

There are at least six positions between you and the last playoff spot and 12pts difference to boot with just 30pts to play for.


Even if you win your next 5, you will need at least three of those below you to also win their next five and at least four of those above you to lose at least four out of their next six matches for you to even be in contention for the 8th position.

You don dey understand now abi

You go explain tire. My fate is in my own hands. Wait let me get my winning streak fully on. Then we will be back to this exchange

Calibrator:
Ten more matches to play before playoffs and you are 12 pts off 8th position.... We only have 30pts to play for.

Your FA Cup campaign is practically over

You can lose 5 in a row.

If I did it, you can do it more.

Calibrator:
You are not getting it, nobody fell from grace as long as they are within 1-8th position on the table before GW35, after which your position means naught onwards, the primary goal is to be within the playoffs before GW35 not to necessarily top the table.
Being number one won't help you win the FA Cup just as being number 8th will not prevent the position holder. It is anybody game from there on.

You sure you know the schematics and rules of the game you are playing laddis?

You go explain tire.

Nobody is talking about who will win FA Cup, but you wey dey bottom don dey hallucinate.

At the moment, being on top is a bragging right..and that why I'm letting tshabalala know that Raum was once there, and his fall from grace qill come too.

Ibime:
Maresca should see that the core team are ready to compete for titles, even league and stop undermining their efforts and dropping unnecessary points by giving game time to the likes of Tosin

Nateeves. This here was my sentiment.

Play our strong squad and amass as much poimts as you can. No be say next match now, we gondey see Tosin, and then people go dey doubt whether na the same chelsea dey play so.

We had no reason drawing to Qarabag and some other small teams we dropped points against

Make nobody come here to compare Hakimi to James again.

Maresca will become the best catch in the world with this type of approach.

I'm glad he ditched the cowards approach, and played like a brave man.

Even though I am not even happy with the draw, cos I believed we were gonna win this match and close the gap. But Since we had to play with red card, I will take the draw

Kudos to Maresca and the boys.

See cross from gusto. Smh

Garnacho played himself into a shooting position, only to play himself out of it...

This is why you need your runners in the game

Who be this delap.

This guy is a very wrong signing. He isnt for us at all.

popizaino:
You can see Delap abi?

Be playing ball like sat na him dey pay his teammates salary.

Mehn...that guy is full of himself.

Mtcheew

Whoch kind pass be that. Allow him to run a little more

Delap no dey press?

JAMES IS BOSSING MIDFIELD FOR REAL

I preffer Guiu to this crazy headed delap

Let tbem come and attack, while we catch them on counter.

Once again, well don Maresca for keeping the attack

Chalobah on the beat!!!

Welldon Maresca..for having the intent to keep attacking

Arteta don commot calafiori. I knew that will happen.

Estavao going out for garnacho.

Damn. I would have loved the kid to remain in the game.

If we keep our attackers in the game, arsenal may not qin this game. And we stand a chance of scoring too

Elnino4ladies:
Shut up abeg

Sense is far from you.

Estavao our biggest threat is whom you want subbed off.

Our best squad now will be

James chalobah ....cowill......cucurella


Caicedo..........Santos


ENZO


palma JP Neto/Garnacho


James can come into the midfield for santos, while Gusto fill in the RB. Palma is extremely dangerous when he operates from RW...and Enzo becomes a pain in the arss for opposition defenders when he plays close to the box. He is like a hyena. He smells blood and aggressively go for a goal. He isnt good in tackling, neither is he good in ball distribution, so playing him deep is a waste of space. But our coach will always make that mistake...especially against small teams.

I have noticed that Enzo is at his physical best when he is behind the striker. He becomes very lethal..making darting runs regularly.

lordfalcao:
Go through your post for the last one year and show us the number of times you’ve given maresca credits.

You are just a naysayer, rest.

You think this is about hating the coach? You are too easily swayed and deceived.

Why should I give him credit for doing something I have been expecting him to do every other matches?

Ofcourse he is a good coach, and he will definitely win matches if he takes every game seriously.

Arsenal fields there strongest squad in every PL games, it doesnt matter the team. You must see Gabriel and saliba...from defence to attack. But maresca who think too highly of himself will field calamitous Tosin and a few other duds whenever we are playing against a small team. And for this reason, we have been dropping points against small teams.

Had it been our next match is against a team like LEEDS, you will see the crazy squad rotation he will do..and winning becomes hard again. You will be wondering if no be this same chelsea trash barca

All I'm asking is for this man to take even the smallest team as a threat and play a strong squad. We wont be here lamenting

lordfalcao:
The guy sabi cry, maresca this and that.

keep quiet there.

We won today does not mean we wont call out the coach bullshit

And my post was me hoping the coach will continue taking every match seriously, and not treat some as though they doesnt need a strong team

nateevs:
Tactical masterpiece per average position of each player, worked out and executed to the last letter. You think traffic is only about Neto upfront?

Did you see Gusto's average position? Did you see the exact position Estevao was occupying?

Guy, sit this one out. Every pundit out there will be giving Maresca a 10/10 for this.

Who no go give am 10 after demolishing barca? The tactic worked against PSG and he got 10, and all our hopes were raised.

If our next match will be against a small team, we will be here to see the weaklings he will field again..and you will be wondering whether thisnis the same Chelsea that demolished barca

BlueRayDick:
Can you just imagine..... The very idea that can bring peace amongst various communities and reduce the unnecessary bloodshed ; he suddenly lack courage to see it through.

I don't blame people who allege the government and its agencies are complicit in the whole insecurity business going on in Nigeria

Govt is complicit does not necessarily mean the head of state. Most Northern politicians in the govt are definitely complicit. Govt probably know them, but cant do anything about it

When that man smuggling arms was exposed, did the govt do anything about it? Thats cos the man na him circle too.

Bandits boldly claimed that govt gave them arms..they know what they are talking. And thisnis why it cant be stopped. Because the people sponsoring it and benefitting from it are part of those that will fight it

Its just like saying Tinubu is here to fight corruption. Can you fight what you are guilty of?

nateevs:
You have it twisted. You think it's just the quality of the players that brought this performance and win?

This is a result of a tactical masterpiece, courtesy of Maresca..

Same tactic in almost all the big games?

Playing Neto upfront is qhy you call it tactical piece, but bring in JP and what you have is same template for every big games, starting from PSG win.

FG don recant o, they said tbey have not banned open grazing 🤦‍♂️

I Don collect my kudos back from Tinubu's government until they do the needful 🙅‍♂️

Fear of the North.

These people have successfully made the North feel like Kings in Nigeria. Thats why they can do whatever they like and go scot free

If they commit any crime, them no dey hide. You will see them flashing their faces to the camera, cos the govt will not go after them. Smh

Ibeme:
Santos kick-started both the 2nd and 3rd goals

Santos confidence up

Delap confidence up

Now we need Gittens to arrive as a Chelsea player in this game

I dont believe in Delap. That guy dey get touches for head. He is not the man at all

Going into this season, we had high hopes on our team..and thats mainly becuase, we would come out good if the coach field a strong squad. Our confidence was based on the squad and their performance against PSG in CWC. But then, our coach had other plans

In matches you would expect a free ride to victory, he will field a weak team, with the most catastrophic defender in Tosin..in the end, we either lose or drop points. This have made us not to have any hopes on the team anymore, cos their performances have been hot and cold.

We only have confidence when we are playing against a strong team. Why? Because a strong squad will be fielded.

We would have been on top of the league if not for Maresca crazy rotations, especially fielding carabao players in PL games agaisnt a lower table team.

What a dissapointing coach we have.

..and our coach need to take off gusto in the second half to prevent any unnecessary red card.

Bring santos in..so James can move to RB
