Moving stones to midfield seems to be the master stroke to absolute control of the game.

Pep is the king of coaches.

Foden beast!!!!

Rodri having his worst game in years.

AdisaOwala:


Is KDB careless with possession?

He is not a controller.

Sharp sharp

andrewbaba44:
This bald fraud is benching kdb for what exactly ?

Na him way

He wants to keep possession of the ball. Stop being reactionary

BlueRayDick:


The king and short of it is that I won't clear my goods today at N1330 / dollar and u will expect me to sell it next week cheaper cos the exchange rate is now 1,278/dollar .

What about selling cheaper since it's now 2 months of consistency appreciation of naira?

At least, what about prices not increasing anymore?? Or naira appreciation now having negative effect?

.....how is it anyone's problem?! We ain't fasting for anyone but ourselves as commanded by God, hence they ain't foòling anyone but themselves.

....and how is it funny by the way?!

Fasting when all you can think about is food. It becomes more of starving than fasting.

izzou:
If the moon is not sighted tomorrow, what happens?

Let's say in the next two days..Is there another law in Islam that can be used to end the fasting?

OasisX

Funny fasting.

Before 7pm, they have dished out their food, keep it in front of them and start counting down to 7

The less said about those eating buns and cleaning mouth within the day the better.

Prior to this abnormal and abysmal season for us,the tale of Chelsea fc for sometimes now has always been,we score one and struggle to double our lead. Then we concede from an unlikely situation and struggle to win the game.(if you need evidence of this then,am sorry to say you were never a Chelsea fan to begin with). In a nutshell we concede less and also score less.


Now judging from our situation above,any genuine fan would have called for us to improve our attack as a football club and also favour coaches with more attacking philosophy. If you follow my history here i always say i want pep guardiola here because with Chelsea he doesn't have to worry about defending, he should just teach us how to put the ball at the back of the net.


So it is never out of place for a Chelsea fan to call for improvement in the attack of his team.


So

Same Pep that has signed more defenders than attackers at City? Pep will sell and dismiss our whole current backline first before building anything.

First step to building a team is solidity at the back.

Jodera:
Aside that sef, the pressing structure of those three clubs won't even give you a chance to go upfield unlike Man u and Chelsea.

Structurally, something is wrong with those two clubs and until it's sorted out, they'll keep on conceding goals. I mean at a certain point when both of you played midweek, I was seeing donut formation.

Teams will always have hope when they can easily bypass the first press and Midfield

So you know all these and you were hyping VVD instead of Liverpool press.

Griffon:


One is good and one is poor. Na white man get that site and na him talk am and him no follow us dey for this thread.

Check:

But on this thread we have Airmark the troll, Nihilistjnr the poor statistician and Popizaino the cricket scoreline enthusiast.

I don't know which of them is worse. The first shouldn't be taken seriously, the second can still be convinced and third can be encouraged to abandon this sport because it is not his thing, cricket is.

User09:


Like I mentioned earlier.

I still dont understand the reason for the back and forth arguments on attack vs defence when the answer as to why we are where we are currently in the league table is in the above link.

At least data doesnt lie. One thousand back and forths wouldnt change the reality

Don't even think they will click on that link when it will automatically end their agenda.

popizaino:
I suspect there is an agreement between Daniel Lewy of Tottenham and Pochettino to finally see the downfall of Chelsea because nothing else explains what is happening to us.

You must be somewhere in between that agreement cos you strongly recommended Poch and aggressively fought any opposing view.

All these slandering of him here could be an afterthought, perhaps after one of his goofs cut your ticket.

Of course, a minute is enough to score another one if this attack is serious.

I expect us to start playing like we are 5 nil up.

nihilistjnr:


Wtf are you talking about?

This season, Sheffield don net BOTH Manchester Clubs. Spurs, Brighton, Villa, etc.

Only 3 days ago, them net Liverpool.

Are you really making a case for chasing cleansheet against a team that has chopped, 5, 6, and 8 goals in league matches this season?

When was our last clean sheet and why is it out of place to make a case for it?

We are moving the ball too slowly

Thiago!!

Gallagher

nihilistjnr:
We dey here.

Help me tell Poch that thunder will fire him for starting Mmadueke

With Garnacho out, how do you guys want to attack now.

popizaino:


Zidane with 3UCL is also currently unemployed. Say another thing.

So Tuchel should take credit for wins alone while his players take the blame for loses ...... you see how illogical your defence of Tuchel is?

Tuchel will take the blame for losing but not when they lose to trash teams and not put up a fight at all.

PSG second eleven are currently losing but they are putting up a fight, creating different attacking opportunities. An organized dressing room is not difficult to see.

popizaino:



I didn't argue that one with you.




Since it's about intentions of the players now then we can conclude Chelsea players also intentionally played well to win the UCL and it has nothing to do with Tuchel's ingenious as most you alluded.


We can also make the same excuse for Lampard that our players intentionally did not play well to have him sacked .

The difference between Tuchel and Lampard's situation at Chelsea can be sharply distinguished. One is gainfully employed while no one knows what the other is doing to currently stay afloat in this economy.

The joke is on you if you think Bayern can't put in a solid performance against Heidenheim even without a coach.

Chelsea players rejected on this thread combines to push Arsenal top of the table.

Few games remaining to drink Ibime 's tears.

popizaino:
I remembered how you blamed Lukaku as the reason for Tuchel's inability to compete for the league with us but last i checked there is no Lukaku in this present Bayern Munich team......

Today Bayern Munich cannot compete for the league because the senior players wants him out.

Can you see how inconsistent your defence of Tuchel is swiz123?

Tuchel's time with us was a massive success. The club was sold and everything fell apart.

Go and watch Bayern games and see how they intentionally play below professional level and stop giving me unnecessary mentions after perusing livescores.

popizaino:



You are becoming unreasonable like Mourinho fans. People who would blame everything including the colour of the grass except their inept coach.


Isn't it the way you made excuses for him while he was running my club down claiming he would become world beater should he get a worldclass team in bayern,so what changed?


You cannot just claim bayern players don't want to play for him just because results are not forthcoming but same you will be quick to sing his praises should bayern begins to win.

He ran the club down by giving us a second UCL.
You are the one who is highly unreasonable.

raumdeuter:


That is the work of a coach to give them tactics to get more players into attacking position. Which is why Pep teams are always getting into attacking positions more than Poch for example

Even without a coach, Bayern are supposed to be attacking such a team especially when they are losing. At least, the last 10 minutes of the game is supposed to be played in the opponents half.

Only the young lad subbed in was trying to drive the ball into the box while others lagged behind.

fredoooooo:



I think it's high time Bayern take some power from the dressing room as well... The Big players are misusing their power .
Something is not right in ther. This is not the Bayern I grow up with.. no one is Bigger than the team .

Finally, someone have seen what is happening.

The players want the manager gone.

If I were Tuchel, all first team players will chop bench till end of the season.

raumdeuter:


Na to line up 11 players on the goal line vs Arsenal fit save us

This is shameful

Tuchel did nothing.

Bayern players don't just want to play for him. Most of them are playing below Professional level.

How can Bayern be losing and they are not attacking? Even a league 1 team will be pushing men into attacking positions.

Unlimited22:

I'm actually of the opinion that both need work, however with Palmer and Nkunku we have a solid platform. Just need to add a LW like, say, Nico Williams. Palmer and Nkunku are both G/A demons, Nico knows how to play, and maybe give Jackson a second bite at the cherry.

The defense, however, is a total shambles because Brodashile and Disaster are mid clowns, Fofana has legs made of glass, and Colwill, while good, isn't quite there yet. The left back position i won't even speak about, while Reece James is a certified doctor. We need at least two quality CB and one LB.

That defence is in a state of emergency. We have no single reliable defender. Adding an experienced center back is paramount as that will help Disasi who seem to be the most passionate defender we have. He just needs someone with experience who can help him improve his positioning. David Alaba would have been perfect if not for his injury.

We need another left back too as Chillwell and Cucu shouldn't be trusted at all. I wouldn't mind Theo Hernandez at 45 to 50M and Cucu as back up.

We also need a decent right back to compete with Gusto and keep him on his toes. Tino Livramento for 30M won't be bad. My eyes already favors him due to his good recovery pace.

The management has a lot of work to do as they should package Fofana, James and Chillwell by giving them careful minutes and ship them to an unsuspecting buyer. At least, their wages and medical bills will be off our books.

Chalobah, Gallagher and Broja should be sold to keep us on the positive side of financial fair play.

Sterling should be pleaded with to accept a move to Saudi, at least we can get some crumbs from his move.

We can enquire from Son to see if he is tired of struggling with Spurs.

Acquiring Xavi Simons, Son and those defenders suggested above will put us back on track to compete for major trophies.

popizaino:


What trophy did Ballack win prior to being named the uefa midfielder of the year in 2002?


Where is Harry kane's trophy to be classified as a world class and don't give me your own cock and bull excuse of not so big team because that's why there is europa,FA cup....if big teams are to win the major ones before we can categorise their players as world class then small teams also need to win the minor ones like europa and Fa Cup. Thus where is Harry Kane's trophy with spurs?

How does winning midfielder of the year mean consistency? Work on your logic bro.

Kane's time with spurs doesn't fit into my earlier submission about world class players so rest with these counterintuitive epistles.
