Dembele is back but he seems rusty and nervous...most of his passes are shit

he will need two to three week to return to full fitness

emmyspark007:
The squad is really good
But win world cup..Hell no
if you see Brazil squad you go off

Mancity edearson dey among Brazil keeper; and I don't think he is even first choice

Firminho,coutinho, neymar, Gabriel Jesus, marquinhos, thiago silver, fernandinho, Daniel alves In fact them plenty

Brazil are favourites for world cup. After Brazil na Germany sef before you begin call france

They still have douglas costa,paulinho,arthur,marcelo,felipe luis,miranda

HPS3:
.

i dont know how mbappe manage second spot on that list...he supposed to be first...if people here sees his misses this season,morata own would be a child play...just typed mbappe misses on youtube

tesppidd:
Damn!
Just stumbled on this.
France squad.

Defence:
Umtiti, Varane, Koschielny, Mendy, Sidibe, Kuzarwa.

Midfield:
Pogba, Kante, Matuidi, Tolisso, Rabiot, Ribery, Sissoko, Fekir, Bakayoko.

Attack:
Griezman, Marshal, Giroud, Dembele, Lacazette, Mbappe, Benzema, Lemar.

France should win the next world cup. Their stars' collection is just amazing. The coach is going to have very serious selection issues.

They have good squad but the squad isnt that experienced...And they have one of the useless coach in intl football...believe the coach will start giroud ahead of dembele,martial and co

i have watched many of their qualify they didnt impress me much..i think brazil,germany,spain are the fav even belgium has better chance than france

pamcode:
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte told Sky Sports: "I think it is a pity because when you have so many chances to score you must win the game. Instead we are talking about a draw against a good team, but in this game we deserved to win as we created a lot of chances.
"We must be disappointed, we had a great chance to win, but we must accept the final result. We win together, we lose together, we draw together."
Asked about the performance of striker Alvaro Morata, who missed three one-on-one chances, Conte said: "It is not luck in this period, he has to continue to work and continue to improve.
"For a striker it is very important to score, it is a pity, he had many chances to score, but I'm very happy with his commitment and effort for the team."

what i know is that arsenal also doesnt deserves to lose..draw was a fair result

Leyqute:
Chelsea fans after Morata missed the third 1-on-1

mourinho?...ogbomosho weed at work?

hazard wansnt bad today,but wasnt that good either

i hardly watch any epl matches except barca,psg and arsenal matches so i get chance to watch chelsea match today


First of all,the match is very entertaining up there with any match i watch this season..it was end to end stuff

on morata issue,he was really bad,did i mentioned bad,oh yeah he was really bad especially his finish...i can score 2 of the three chances he missed today...but despite that i saw something positive,his link up play and movement was top notch


on hazard issue,i criticized him but hardly watch his matches,but today he was bang average..he shows some glimpse of what he can do on one or two occassion,i really enjoy that his backheel pass to morata and his pass to fabregas....he also missed 1 one on one with cech...And he has bad decision making,he pass when he suppose shoot and shoot when he suppose pass


on normal day,this match supoose to be 5-5,arsenal attack were superb and our defence was atrocious...chelsea defense werent that bad but d coach was too cautious after chelsea lead


flop of the match : morata,babayoko,holding,lacazette

hit of the match : kante(superb 2nd half),ozil,wilshere,naitland miles


zapacosta was immense when he comes on and unlucky not to score the winning goal

Chelseafan1:
Hazard has scored goals far better than the goal. Thanks

But not this season

Psalmueldo:
Newbie to this Barca thread. First and foremost, wish you all a happy new year.
*On Coutinho, when the saga initially started last season, i was against it not because he is not good, far from it cause he will be among our best 3 midfielders along with Busquet and Iniesta, all worldclass. What i wanted was a controlling midfielder like Verratti then, someone to bench Rakitic for good. But seeing as we have been signing shit midfielders over the years (Turan, Gomes and to some extent Paulinho, yes, he is not worldclass but atleast useful unlike the previous two), i decided i will be alright with Coutinho been worldclass and will help with creativity which has disappeared in our midfield except through Iniesta sometimes. Besides, we can just make Iniesta our controller and Coutinho AM. Latest reports has his cost at 120 + 40m which is excessive but not bad. Time to pay good morning for quality instead of overpaying for average players which are now too much in our squad.
*On Mina, have seen many of his clips and each time ended up disappointed. His only real positives are height, good aerially and passing. He is very slow (slower than Pique) and lets recall we play a highline at the back and we know what speedsters do to Pique regularly. Mina also gets beaten regularly. He may be cheap but still has to adapt and we know how long that can take in a team like ours. It may affect us in the champions league. Why not just recall Marlon from loan? He has been with us for sometime, did well whenever used last season, has good qualities and has been a starter in Nice since he joined. Vermalean become 3rd choice and Marlon 4th. That way, when Vermalean leaves in the summer, we can just go for Ajax's De Ligt.
*Lastly on Arthur; I think 50m is too much for him. Sincerely speaking, i dont see what he does that someone like Samper can't be trained to do. Some players skillsets fits possession teams like ours alone. Guardiola, Xavi, Busquet and Samper are all similar types of footballers. Pep and Xavi were nearly sold if not that Cruyff, Van Gaal and Pep discovered them and stuck to them. Had Pep been our coach when Samper came of age, he would have promoted and developed him by now. Arthur is nothing exceptional. He has no super vision, Fabregaslike passing. Everything he does can be done by Samper. Imagine someone like Busquet been our controlling midfielder? Samper plays like Busquet. Just need some finetuning and directions. We need to start trusting our youths again. Alena should also be given a chance.

Try to put more space in your write-up..it isn't easy to read like that

Anyway..welcome

Chelseafan1:
If na Neymar score the goal nko, are you sure Ronaldo won't be pressured to hand over his 5 Ballon D'ors?

Neymar has scored goals better than that this season...anyway,welcome back

homesteady:
There are claims that he is using the injury as an excuse not to play.

Might be true....but I think he is injured

laPULGA:
well i have to concede here


he was recently voted the 3rd best player in the whole of the south american continent ..the only brazilians to have bettered this are neymar,dinho,zico and pele and the recently crowned south american best luan(who we are also rumoured to be after)


and other cules on BB and reddit are sounding like £50M will be a steal for us.....so i hope we get author melo and maybe fekir too

yea..50m won't be bad...And it seems he want to come to barca

homesteady:

Yes, but it is not really bad compared to players like Bale and Gundogan.

Hope you know he is currently on injury table...he missed their last game cuz of injury

laPULGA:
£50M for author is absurd for someone not proven in europe...Mina is one of the best defenders in south american futbol and he is coming for just £9M...now dats a gamble worth taking and not too risky


considering fekir, he is worth the risk and another to consider is maxime-lopez also plays for lyon


amd we were INITIALLY never interested in gomes he is more suited to a counter-attacking system ala valencia..we did it to fvck with madrid ..i still think he is a good player just not our type.

50m isn't much for Arthur..we paid 57m tho d real value was more than that for neymar...we bargained on that..man city paid 35m for Gabriel Jesus,they also bargain


nowadays, Snodgrass will be price at 50m so 50m isn't bad for Arthur...but I will prefer fekir

oseriki9:
Bro they do not play in the same position....
I will prefer us to get arthur and play roberto in or gamble on alena than to buy coutinho.

Another good option...PSG buy neymar cuz he is potential ballon d'or,he is marketable and will boost their club status for 222m.....but if Barca buy coutinho for 180m Na waste of money..he is injury prone,isn't close to neymar,he isn't that marketable



Let us wait sha before assuming

chibwike:
Bro how is the transfer going.. which site re you getting this update from?

I saw one journalist tweeted about it on Twitter...And some Barca fans says he is reliable...am not sure tho?...but Na d journalist started neymar departure rumors also

VivaLaByke:
We are not paying 180million for Coutinho.

Forget Fake News Snowstormm.

Ohh...I also don't think it's true...but I saw it on Twitter that the fee is 140m + 40m add ons...cant be true tho

180m on coutinho?...I would have even preferred dybala for that price


Neymar to PSG seems now like a bargain for PSG..I believe mbappe and dembele are better than coutinho and they are even much younger

Bobrisky has lost it

airmark:
Which torch light, is dayo making you see?

dayo?....cuz I don't come here to rant every day about hazard doesn't mean I dont find hazard overrated


I am one of the people that have seen the light on this hazard issue since the season he went on a massive goal drought... a player with ballon d'or potential doesn't do that


I also believe you also have started seeing the light but you are just reluctant to accept it....you always one of the people here that believed he is better than neymar...I doubt you still think that is true now

atheist5:
am thinking fekir,a player we should buy with his money(the thing is no top club even want the guy seft)
look at us now, selling Costa is the BIGGEST reason we are 14 points behind city,notice those two years we won the league Costa was always our best player in the first half of the season, the guy was a beast, not this boy-girl striker we have now,yet conte just discarded him like say now beans im be,I tire oh,if neymar was in Chelsea he would take up the challenge of dragging us to glory against better teams but oga hazard dey fine already made champions league

Another person seeing the light on this neymar-hazard



Like neymar use to say 1% chance 99%faith...Am not a Chelsea fan but I believe Chelsea or man utd can't still win the league sef with right motivation... man city can crumble within a match and might affect their whole season

chelsea without hazard leading 2 0 in 10 minutes...my eyes can't be deceiving me

lordfalcao:
hazard with all his abilities need to start posting numbers, these days the best are now been decided by goals and assist. If it was in the era of ronaldinho and kaka when it was all about what you do with the ball on your feet, he would have won the ballon d'or

Ballon d'or?....smh,that can only happen if messi and neymar retire


The problem with hidden is that he is good technically but still neymar and messi are more technically gifted than him and these also have the number/stats


if goals and assists isn't even used...the closest hidden can come is finishing third in ballon d'or

raumdeuter:
I'm seeing guys that jumped on me when i started this hazard crusade now seeing the light

abeg who can show my man diggz the way. Make e no dey do like "Sura the tailor" upandan.

He's disgracing we Delta people

He is seeing the light but doesn't wanna admit it as reality


But it's almost impossible to make hensben and Airmark sees the light especially hensben


Where is chelseafan1 tho?

If not 4 neymar's obssesion with world best...I would have like him to come to EPL and show you how it's done just like pep is doing

I sees him in Madrid or man city in the next 2 years

Skimpledawg:
It weakens me my brother. All I see are excuses all day long for Hazard. The funny thing is that the Niqqa does not care about his stats.

I blame JM tho, he made us feel Hazard was in the class of Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar and Co... Bullsheet

It seems you have seen the light....neymar,salah,de bruyne are improving but same can't be said for hazard

Fire pass fire o . which kind purple fire is this?


I don't why this kind of things doesn't happen in aso rock...we need to reduce those corrupt leader

amzee:
Wizzy n Tiwa were called for questioning but they didnt show up. That means they didnt lose any luggage.

Wizkid didn't report that he loses any luggage's Na...Na tiwa report

Greatihex:
i just wanted to debunk that lie. Dazzol. I no get time for senseless arguments that lead to nowhere.

which lie?...I posted my source?...but squawka seems more credible...you can't expect the stats to be same in the site when it isn't goal scoring....some site even said he has 4 assists while some said he has only 3 assists in UCL this season

Nonsense!!!


See all of them siting down on flour like all those prenursery students...smh,see the one wey dey rock oyinbo babe and d babe sef dey enjoy am?


Am sure they treck to the venue cuz of no fuel

olascottpeter:
Initially, I was like why did he wear this cheap clothe to his concert.. I wondered why he didn't dress like davido.. Davido's clothes even made his so called 1.3MIllion clothe inferior

I expect more from a cloth of 1.3millon... What is so eve special about the track Jean that is sold for that high amount?

Lolz..it seems you are blind...Na that yellow shirt davido wore better pass this?...haba,am sure you are davido fan


we all knows Wizkid dresses better na
