Raheem!

FBS:
Kai indeed is blunt so far. So is the rest of the crew.

2nd half will be different.

I really hope so.

We need this win. AC Milan have somewhat levelled the group for us. We win this and it's 4points, 3points, 3points, 1point.

BlueAngel444:
I heard that's how Potter sets up with only one CB at the back

We ain't really playing well against a pressing the like Salzburg, I expected more long balls to break there press and not the tactic of short passes to push them back into their box. All they are waiting for is that one interception

Silva isn't that pacy to withstand a counter attack.

I no just wan reason am, but na like this draw match dey start

FBS:
True true.
Cucurella has played OK.
Let's see how the 2nd half unfolds.

Only positive I see is we move the ball forward quicker though attack is still nonsense. Can't someone get these boys firing?

I'm not too comfortable with the way all the players attack leaving only Silva behind. A wicked counter attacking team will punish us with this set up.

And our attack have been sooo blunt. Kai!

lordfalcao:
Anytime hazard hold the ball, our attacking speed drops 20%

Bro, this is 2022.

FBS:
I see what you mean but the bigger question is - is the "experiment" getting the best out of the players?

Early days. Only time will tell.

I prefer Cucurella/Chilwell in that left flank.

Ibime:
All na experiment. We saw Tuchel own and it wasn't pleasant. So far in this game, Sterling has not lost any attacking output, infact he's got more attacking moments than the rest. Whether it would be the same when we play a big team, who knows. But for now, I haven't seen any dulling.

I'm not criticising the experiment. I'm just saying, what is good for the goose should be good for the gander. One of the reason for #Tuchelout activists is him playing players out of position.

Potter just did it and everywhere is quiet like a cemetery.

nateevs:
Eyes on Sesko. We need to be looking at him.

Get out of my head!

Ibime:
Nothing we haven't seen before with Trossard. It's not like Sterling is not getting in promising attacking positions

The question is, is Sterling a LWB?

So because Potter did it with Trossard, he can do it with Sterling but Tuchel can't do something similar with, let's say, Pulisic?

Ebukacute:
Hypocrisy at it's peak.. no mind them

Lol... Agenda.

Ibime:
What are you showing here. That Jogginghoe has completed 11 passes? At least understand data before using it.

Whether you think Kepa pass was funny or not, it highlights an incurable weakness in Jogginghoe game of being bullied under the slightest press. Tell me Kovacic or James would fall down under that small touch on their back. On another day you won't have Kepa pass to blame.

That pass was way too heavy from Kepa. Jorginho anticipated the contact and the best thing to do there was to draw the foul.

If he claim hard man and lose the ball, na una go still roast am here.

See high line defending..

Salarys:
Sometimes I think we go into games with bias already looking for faults here and there, without actually watching the game.

That was clearly kepa's fault and jorginho was unlucky to be the one receiving that pass.

But yea, anything to slander the "Jogginhoe".

Jorginho was really blamed for that?!

Agenda must agend

Why is no one talking of Sterling as LWB? Only God knows the kind of bashing Tuchel would have recieved if it was him.

Ibime:
What reason other than he is the only DM

Make una commot with Una nonsense again. All those managers still end up dropping him and somehow get sacked just before replacing him. Tuchel somehow got sacked just after failing to.sign Edson Alvarez. Jogginghoe and Henrique Hilario have the same dibia.

Zakaria not fit to start?

So you want to tell me all these coaches doesn't know their predecessors were sacked largely because of Jorginho?

Jorginho must belong to this Italian Mafia that kidnaps a member of the coach's family, threatening to kill if Jorginho is not in the starting XI.

I cannot understand why Pep, Sarri, Lampard, Tuchel and now Potter cannot see what Nairaland analysts clearly see about Jorginho. All Chelsea coaches start him. Even Sarri snatched him from Pep.

There must be a non footballing reason why Jorginho keeps starting.

FBS:
hmm....

You sef see am abi

A001:
Chalobah also bade him farewell.

Lol... Interesting Chalobah used this particular picture for his farewell bid.

All the players here were axed/let go by Tuchel

Subtle dig? Maybe it's me reading meaning to nothing.

John Terry made this tweet 22nd August.

Man knows something we don't.

donstan18:
Flick

The same German "frauds" you want out of your team?

Lol

Emaprince:
I thought mourinhos sack was after the first mat h at Stamford Bridge against valancia. ..which ended 1-1. BtW mourimhos team was still doing well. We just won FAcup against manure...and carling Cup against arsenal. The problem was roman wanted CL


And that fofana guy looks like over the bar

It was Rosenborg in Stamford Bridge. A 1-1 draw. And prior to that, we drew the last EPL match too. I think it's Blackburn or so.

Our form the beginning of that season was very poor. Just like this season.

Graham Potter doesn't have the CV to coach a big club like Chelsea. Donstan18 will still be here to tell us he was a nobody before Chelsea. Na we go still hash tag #PotterOut after one season.

Pochettino is a serial bottler. Tuchel played couple of finals and lost. We may not even see the finals under Poch. IMHO he reached his ceiling in Spurs.

Flick won covid UCL (single legged knock outs). Coached in a one team league. Na 50 50 appointment be that. May work, may flop.

Boehly should try to convince Zidane to come. I can't think of another tier 1 coach right now that is available.

BlueMann:
Tuchel’s ideas were no longer transmitting. He’d stopped getting through. It probably didn’t help that some of the players had been talking about his private life, and how he had a younger girlfriend as his marriage fell apart. [@MiguelDelaney]


Ahh

Food don done for journalists. Everybody go come out now start to yarn nonsense all over the place.

Did they just realise this now that he is sacked?

Shegzdave:
The sack was very deserving cause why is the team playing like such after spending over 200m?
Who do you think is suitable for the job?

You guys should stop this 200m spent bla bla bla.... Transfer window just closed last week! He has just played 2 matches after the 200m spent. And don't forget that youth players are part of that 200m you are mentioning.

My point? He was not sacked because he spent 200m and failed.

popizaino:
If my memory serves me right that match was at the bridge.

You are correct.

Greatihex:
Yet another stupid decision from club management after Sterling signing. Yeye management.

As in!

How can you, from wanting to negotiate contract extension barely two weeks ago, to sacking a coach just a week after transfer window close?

Something must have happened just before, during or after the Dinamo Zagreb match.

This looks like a on-the-spot decision.

Sniper04:
The guy go dey cry now say which Kind wahala him enter, make he just hope the next coach go like am

The next coach might want to bring Lukaku back.

Aubameyang spent just one full training session and 60mins in a match in his reunion with Tuchel.

Wow! Just wow.

I clearly remember how Mourinho left Chelsea in 2007. Similar circumstances. I clearly remember that 1-1 draw away to Rosenborg in opening game of that season's UCL. That match too pain me. By morning, the announcement was made...

Same thing happen again. UCL match day 1. No win away to a "small team". Sack in the morning.

Well we move...

Wetin surprise me pass is sacking a coach after him point and kill £250m+ worth of players. So if a new coach come and decide Fofana, Cucurella etc are not his type of players nko, so another set of deadwood to dispose? We still have loan players all over. Na wao...

Layiwoo:
He needs 11 points from Gross and Ramsdale to win you...Fingers crossed thou

5 goals and Gross managed only one assist. That's gross

Ramsdale fit haul? I doubt.

6ixT8:
I go pop champagne if my boys win you this week, in spite of Toney's haul.

Congrats on your win.

My defenders fall my hand. TAA especially. 90 seconds too lock in cleansheet, Klopp just remove am. I sell Schar buy James.
