Delap has to start getting involved in the buildup play. See how pedro was coming into midfield and wing.

Ballzproblem2:
Sure say Pedro no go dey start of delap ?

Na him get the position. Delap is the second striker.

lordfalcao:
See Schick wey Capper say mk we sign.

Like guy, i was surprised... That guy na captain of cappers

BlewMahn:
Looks good in blue💙

First player to wear the yellow badge.. big one


Why don't we have a sponsor yet?

BlewMahn:
Inter Milan looking at Nkunku and have started working on the transfer!

Inter Milan no get that kind money, make those saudi clubs just show interest.

Ihebu4chelsea:
Lol, it took him 2months to compose that piece of tr****

It is even better he stayed in hiding than that story he wrote up there

Android17:
First, Congratulations to Chelsea and Palmer but why am I getting all these mentions? I've argued that your players are better than you give them credit for, and that Palmer has to win things by deciding them for your team before getting all the plaudits he didn't deserve.

Now that he has passed phase 1, will you maintain your argument or concede that you were making excuses for him?

Incase the poser is lost, let's recycle the discussion so we can know where things currently stand:

1. If your team is good enough to beat PSG in a final, you're good enough to win the EPL. True or False?
2. Sanchez, Neto, Enzo, Gusto etc aren't the frauds you guys claimed they were - so you won't turn around to blame them when Palmer doesn't live up to the hype. True or False?
3. Maresca is a genius. The best manager ever. So you won't also blame him if your season torpedoes and he is summarily fired. Remember, this is the same way you guys hyped Tuchel after '21 but then switched up to excuse him when he didn't win the EPL in '22.
4. Palmer is world best. Again, shouldn't you expect the world best to will his team to win the EPL? Therefore, if your team doesn't win the EPL, you wouldn't have any excuses - no?

What are the terms? Let's have it in writing.

Just shut.up please

Some people can't just take it that there will always be someone better than you, there will always be a child better than yours.

Person wey dem born for france. How hn want take lie about his age

See delap wey just relegate... We dan give am trophy

Trevor012:
Calm down, it's a glorified friendly match

But you no let us hear word before the match. Shame! Shame!

Trevor012:
I prophesied it. Don't joke with me

Comedian.... You wey suppose hide face for long

popizaino:
My preferred formation and players to start.

Unless the entire PSG players are in their own half,at no point should my 3 midfielders be more than 5m away from their own half.


Caicedo here is not an AM but a CDM when we are in possession but a DM without possession.

@Enzo5

Hahahaha... This man you no go kill person

You just killed our first press with enzo and palmer as the first line of press

Abeg o no one is talking about disasi. It is like nobody remembers he is our player

popizaino:
If you don't want what befell inter-milan,real madrid to befall us,we better play to counter them not to out control them by going toes-toes with them.

I am an advoacte of champagne,beautiful football but it will be foolish of us to attempt to outsmart/outcontrol a team that is technically better than you in all aspects. That's a big recipe for disaster

Parking the bus doesn't mean you are weak or a coward or you are inferior,it means you are just doing what needs to be done to get your desired outcome. You are acknowledging their strength while protecting your own weakness.


Had we been somewhere dominant against top teams in the past were our ball transition was smooth like that of Liverpool, we could leverage on that and go toe to toes with them,not with these lose transition that would expose our defense. I take God beg you.


I can never forget how Allegri was foolish enough to think his Juventus midfield could control a real madrid midfield with a young agile Modric,kross and Casemiro. That final would have been another inter -Milan PSG if not for that unlikely goal from Mandzukic.


Please let park the bus and move the forward with every possession. That's better than trying to beat PSG to their game.

You made very valid points. Let maresca just prep the boys well.

I no know why the organizers fixed the match for 3pm USA time, why not 5pm when the sun will be down a bit

Maresca should not park any foolish bus o, i am tired of that stupid tactics, we didn't spend more than 1bn to park bus.

Win or lose, this should be a learning curve for the players. PSG did not become so good like this with parking bus. He should motivate his players to kill themselves for any ball.

Lastly, jackson should be far from the team please

Emaprince:
Cucurella is a warrior.

Same as Caicedo.

James is another warrior, but injury no let us enjou him.

Cucurella is beginning to play like ashley cole..though the later is still much better both in defence and attack. But the amount of effort and blood they put into each game is on par.

Caicedo is almost on same level as kante was - he puts his leg in every ball. He wins tackles, he is hardly dribbled. He can move the ball well and pass well too. He just matured and got better at chelsea.

Another warrior in the making is cowill

That's why i am saying there is possibility of caicedo winning player of the season if he continues with this form.

I don't know about colwill, he too dey zuzu. See the amount of space he gave estaveo to score.

Katcall:
my only problem with him is he doesn't overlap and cross the ball. I've never seen a fullback unable to cross the ball

You won't blame him too much, by the time he plays all those positions, his leg will be too heavy to even make decent cross.

Cucurella i am sorry i said bad things about you in the past.
This man dey play LCB, LMF, LB and sometimes LF in one match. Only player that pushes the ball with so much intent. See that ball he stopped, he never gives up.

We need to give him an extended break as we have used him alot this season. I can't wait to see the captain armband on him walai.

Lana1:
You know what, I understand you people's frustrations. This ones head is not correct
https://images2.imgbox.com/fe/04/ei0ETLKm_o.gif

Na the striker wey we wan give una be that.

40million and he is yours

Nemesis0147:
I'm telling you...
I don't really know what he is doing there....he no Dy even mark ball

I no go lie for today he dan try with marking compared to his previous matches.

swiz123:
I could easily replace Nkunku on that left wing and nobody will notice.

He is not even trying anything at all. Cucurella gives him the ball with space for him to do something but he gives cucurella back almost immediately.

They should bring in that saka junior

diggz:
Omo… see as wailing full everywhere. Trevor012, una no go come pay £40m for Sterling like this?

Cc whodeyhouse Skimpledawg

Abeg, make una inform Sterling say we don see buyer for am. Make him pack him bags sharp sharp, him dey head back to Manchester.

Bro i just like how you take dey help us market our valuable players like sterling, nkuku, sanchez to man u and arsenal.
Only God fit repay you for this selfless act

Make Chelsea also no go underate any team wey still dey this competition o

BlueMann:
Sergej na player abeg

Clubs were bidding for him when he was at lazio. Man bossed that midfield

Amethyst101:
I had high hopes for this Tomas Kalas back then

Mourinho pulled him out from nowhere and gave him his PL debut against Liverpool in 2014, and should have scored in that game. (The game where Gerrard slipped and Demba Ba scored)

He did so well in that game, I remember Suarez couldn't really get past him, and I thought he would surely stay and become a starter.

Omo i just checked this guy out.. he went on loan for 9 straight seasons

At one point hn supposed tell the sport director abeg free me

I don't know about anyone o but i see caicedo winning EPL player of the season 2025/2026

Trevor012:
Bayern go win this PSG. Very unserious team. Common goals they cannot score .

Dey get conscience once once

zeusis:
Which 2 hours break
Enzo that came off around 80 minutes together with delap and reece james

Ye... Who did i now see doing that. I dan give misinformation

Just watching the highlights after the break and all i can say is enzo Fernandez is a m.ad man. The chance palmer played directly to the keeper that benfica now countered from, the player ran in front of him like he was not there. Okay you no get speed but why not take one for the team by fouling the player.

Every Chelsea player that ran back during that counter ran past enzo, this was after having 2hrs break o.

Danger of lightning strike

As dem protect players from lightning but fans dey exposed, you go know say all men are not created equal
