He gave a nice cross that resulted in a hand ball but wasn't given as a penalty.

hardeycute:
ffffffs.This people are shameless,SMH.


They are not even guaranteed of a place in the next round but a rival and an ex player is their priority

We're playing chelshit.


What more guarantees do you need?

Barcelona fans are not happy with the Madrid vs PSG games because we want Madrid to eliminate PSG, we are happy because no matter how the game ends, we'll hold our massive W

Is Chelsea superior to Barca?

I don't know, you tell me.

BlueAngel444:
If Chelsea lose to Barca, it's not a big deal but if by any chance, fortune, opportunity or jazz and Chelsea balls almighty Barca with all their world class players.

Let me laugh in french first.

Are you saying chelsea is inferior to Barca? Ayam not understanding o

Away from the Enyeama issue, Victor moses' chelsea have been drawn to face Barca in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Barca typically attacks from their left side, with Messi typically looking out to pick alba. This would be moses' biggest test yet, he has to be disciplined enough to stop those passes. Going forward, he'd also come against alba and umtiti, this should give him a taste of what to expect at the world cup.

I have watched almost all of chelsea's games this season and here is my analysis.

DEFENCE
Over the years we have known chelsea to be a very defensive side, putting plenty of disciplined men at the back thereby frustrating the opponent's attack.
Under Conte however, the reverse has been the case. Yes, they defend with 5 men, but this isn't as defensive as it sounds. Barcelona is very left-side biased when attacking. Typically, Messi will always look to find a running alba. Against chelsea, it will be interesting to see moses try to cut of these passes. On the chelsea left side of defense, Alonso and cahill will try to pair up to neutralize Messi. These two have been found wanting many times this season and if dembele gets back into form, it will be interesting to watch the havoc he'll wreck. Centrally, azpilicueta, christiansen and cahill will most likely start. Azpilicueta will be drawn out a lot to assist moses on the right, leaving space for deadly cut backs, this will also be interesting to watch.

midfield
Chelsea has only only decent midfielder in Kante, the rest are either washed up or completing numbers. I suspect Conte would want Kante to be disciplined and stay with Messi when he drives from the middle, another interesting duet to watch. If Kante stays back then the creative duty Will fall to both bakayoko and fabregas. One is a Barca reject and the other a mere statue. Fabregas does not have the energy to match a high intensity midfield. If he starts, he'll likely run out of gas before the 60minute mark.

Attack
Now let's keep bants aside a second and say the truth, hazard is a very intelligent player. He'll be paired with morata in a two man attack. Pique will be tasked with keeping him quiet and if we are to be frank, it is going to be difficult. Hazard typically drops to the midfield at times to aid with team play and create chances, busquet has a lot of work on his hands to keep him quiet. He also likes to shoot and is pretty accurate so ter stegan also need to bring his A game. Morata is also intelligent and relies heavily on Crosses. Alba and umtiti need to watch azpilicueta, never let him cross the ball.

All in all, this chelsea team is very beatable. At the very least, we should be taking 4points from this fixtures.

haymekus:
When will this mumu valverde stop using Roberto as a right back

The fool seems to have forgotten what happened against celta vigo

I can easily see why.
Roberto makes brilliant runs, and being a midfielder he has eyes for passes.
Semedo will surely get his time. He just has to work hard and play to instructions.

Olamyyde:
Cristiano Ronaldo to @francefootball: “I don’t see anyone better than me. No player does thingsthat I cannot do myself, but I see things others can’t do. There’s no more complete player than me. I’m the best player in history — in the good and the bad moments”

I don't believe he said this but if he actually did, then dude must be experiencing weed induced hallucinations.

CityJoe:
Nice post. That means Corluka is also not in the squad again. Better for us. That means, that earlier article posted before is old. We need to also explore recent articles on them.

Good work.

According to transfermarkt, Corluka last played for Croatia on the 11/12/2016 against iceland

BlueAngel444:
Sergi Roberto is a squad player. B I M where along time ago

Roberto is not a squad player. Before his injury, he was starting games, even ahead of semedo

usbcable:
What do we call the 2 leg losses suffered at the hands of Real Madrid at the start of the season.

Don't tell me you have swiftly forgotten the 2 golazos from my kid Asensio?

Supercup is like a preseason tourney bro. A new season begins with the start of the league

This is sad, if true. The young man is just starting to earn a name for himself.

Mujtahida:
At his club nko? Rashidi had Finidi floating tantalising crosses but I doubt Rashidi scored so much with his head for us.
You have raised an interesting point though: I watched the Eagles when wing play was so much part of our game as in crosses. I have mentioned it here that we don't cross the ball and I was told that that is no longer the way wing play is done these days but I've watched Germany, France, Spain and England still do crosses. I love crosses because they are like free kicks. You get them right and it spares you some stress.

Even inverted wingers cross the ball when the need arises. Sometimes, crossings come in handy especially when playing against those Asians that are very fast and can recover quickly but are short. It is also a tactic and should be mastered for ease of flexibility.

Mujtahida:
Error admitted but pray tell would you regard Ighalo as someone who is good with his head?

He doesn't score often with his head, but typically, this is to be expected, considering Victor moses rarely crosses the ball and Simon's delivery is atrocious.

Kog45:
Oh for mentioning forgiveness,my man normally for me am always say SORRY if i offend any moniker through my comments and move on cos with my age i don't think i should be here having issues on top football.

As i said am here to learn and share information and my love for a team i have been following since 1980.If I post a comment I know what am doing and not to mock or ridicule any moniker.

My comment on that post is simple and easy to understand.Great guys like Joebie, junnyake,Mujtahida, tbaba1013,Goke7,goldfish80 etc do post news here for us to read but have never seen them post a news to mock or ridicule any gentle monikers.The post was targeted at forgiveness and it was glaring.Mind you i don't care if it's forgiveness cos it can be anybody and i will still say the same thing.

We are free to express ourselves but we should not believe it was just a forum, let me say whatever i like,no is not done that way.We should all remember something brought us here which is the love for super eagles, then why are we always take offence on simple matter that can be resolved amicably..

With due respect my man am not here to gang talk anybody down based on his choice of player or his contrary view to my analysis.Honestly am here to gather information through you guys cos is valuable.

My comment was not to defend forgiveness but to let the poster know that he can't post a news to taunt anyone but for us to read and discuss.

If mentioning forgiveness is my offence am indeed sorry not to defend him but to correct the poster.

Thanks and God bless.

How can you be so sure the news was directed at forgiveness? Even mujtahida posted a news today directed at komekn. I don't see it as much of a big deal

Mujtahida:
Just say you don't want Martins because this your Ighalo yarns get as ee be. When I argued against the inclusion of Martins I based it entirely on my sentiments and I said so. Your attempt to rationalise why Ighalo will be invited and not Martins when both of them play in China, have almost the same goalscoring stats, when Ighalo has not scored a single goal with his head for us makes your points one kind, one kind Bro. Ighalo is not one known to be good with his head. Since Adepoju and maybe Agali we've not had any player that it can be said that that player is good with his head. None!
Better to argue against his inclusion on the grounds of team spirit but not this points above. They ain't valid.

Not entirely sure but I think ighalo scored with his head in the 3-0 flogging of Cameroon last year

So only Barca and inter are still on unbeaten runs...

Who would have thought

tbaba1234:
Nigerian Journalists are promoting their players. Just read an article about a South African based player. The headline was ,

"Must ____ break his leg before he is invited to the Super Eagle"

Expect to see more ridiculousness as WC approaches..

Searched for the news after reading this comment and noticed how the journalist quoted just two people;the player and his agent. It is clearly a media campaign.

Adarabioyo start for man city tonight

He's already declared for England bro

forgiveness:
Who was the highest goal scorer prior to that 2013 Afcon tournament?

IKECHUKWU UCHE. Gbam! EOD.

So if Victor moses gets injured and misses the world cup and we go ahead to win the world cup then he helped us win the cup?

jonsnow92:
Expose the Three Man defence trash once and for all..I just dont want this big headed Bayern Munich boys..On their day those guys can beat anybody.

I want Messi to come from the right, he'll be up against Alonso and cahill .

I don't want mallam Kante to break his legs from the middle.

forgiveness:
Without Ikechukwu Uche no 2013 Afcon trophy. Chai!

Uche did not score a single goal at Afcon 2013. Pray tell, how did he help win the trophy?
Even echiejile had more goals than Uche in that Afcon.
