What you said doesn't matter. Even if Jorginho was covering Rudiger, his lack of strength let him down. There is no way Jesus gets that ball against a stronger player and backs off his man enough to turn and shoot. Jesus used his body to gain control of that ball, and Jorginho was too weak in allowing Jesus get the ball and even spin and shot.

Nobody would have prevented Jesus to take that shot. Highest thing to have happened is Jorginho blocking it, which would have happened if his foot connected well with the ball. It didn't connect well hence the deflection.

That's why I give credit to Jesus for even trying to squeeze out a shot in that tight situation.

Greatest blasphemy on Sunday

"city fans celebrated when they saw havertz on the bench"

Who the hell is havertz in this Chelsea team presently for any opposition fan to celebrate his absence?

Keep deluding yourself havertz's agent

You suppose do footballer agent work cos you go better pass both Raiola and Mendez I swear

Na ment

User09:
Lol. I wouldnt use Joe Cole to support my claim if I were u

Ask around, Joe Cole is a complete doofus when it comes to Punditry. He talks so much crap and is way out of his depth.

Someone who went on and on about how Tuchel was a poor fit for us cos of his blind support for Lampard

He is a complete doofus because he opinion doesn't suit your narrative, I get.

It would be interesting to know what you will think of him if he had criticised Tuchel for benching Havertz.

Havertz10:
reactionary people will rest at least

When people talk, they are the first to be confrontational insisting that others should shut up

Lukaku is refined but he has never been an elite level footballer, he complains that nobody rates him but it's because on the big stage, he never rises to the occasion, we can't structure the team to suit him, he should stay up top and leave the right channels for havertz, this experiment of playing havertz on the left has to end, if he had started that game yesterday in 343 the outcome would have been different, city fans celebrated when they saw him on the bench

Tuchel should either revamp his tactics now and play attacking football or he maintains his pragmatic approach, if the latter is his choice, his days as Chelsea coach are numbered

The shut up still dey pain you. You talk too much.

After the formation backfired that is when you come here to tell us that you know it is rubbish. Why didn't you say it before the game? Why didn't you criticise the formation the moment Kante came in for Mount against Spurs? I'm sure you were all smiles when Mount went off and the goals stated coming. If we had won City with Mount out of the lineup, we all know what the story will be.

If Havertz have Mount's workrate, Tuchel would have played 343 with Havertz Lukaku Werner up front. That's just the plain truth. Mount serves as the 5th man in midfield when we are defending, and the 3rd man in attack when we are attacking. Havertz can't do that reason why Tuchel went for 352 formation.

Someone said Lukaku dragging have not started because he has been scoring. We can see the dragging already building up. Imagine the bolded! We can't structure the team to suit Lukaku BUT we should build the team around Havertz...

Once again, shut up!

Amoto94:
"I’ve not seen a Chelsea side under Thomas Tuchel look as disjointed as they did today. I felt the link was missing, Mason Mount, he was animated and trying to drive his players.

“Chelsea will be there or thereabouts challenging because of that man [Tuchel].”

- Joe Cole

But some people here feel they know more than Joe Cole, who eat sleep and play the game.

Mind games at its finest

That ball just landed in my backyard and broke my window glass

A GW to forget

See a simple Yes/No question that you typed an epistle to answer.

I asked you a simple yes or no question like a page or 2 ago. I wonder why you turned a blind eye to Raumdeuter's gif that I mentioned you on.

airmark:
From frying pan to fire. Can we say your Rudiger cost us the goal and the loss?

I'm not like you that see the truth and hide it just because it involves a player you hype.

I support Chelsea and not individual players. You should know that by now. It's people like you that promotes individual players that find it difficult to analyse football objectively.

Ibime:
Stop eet. Jesus came from slightly behind him. He was sleeping and has no body strength, if not that ball should not even reach Jesus in the first place.

You are the one that need to stop eet.

Jesus was not Jorginho's man in the first place. Rudiger is.

All game long, Rudiger was man marking Jesus.

Pic 1.... Red arrow you can see Rudiger with Jesus as his man. Blue arrow is Jorginho with another person.

Pic 2.... For some weird reason, red arrow Rudiger left Jesus (to block Cancelo's shot?). Blue arrow, you can see Jorginho moving to cover up Rudiger.

Pic 3..... Red arrow, Rudiger in no man's land. Blue arrow Jorginho holding Jesus.

How did he sleep? How can you say the ball shouldn't have reached Jesus when it's a shot that slammed on Jesus feet. So Jorginho should have traveled faster than the shot to not allow it reach Jesus?

If anything, the goal is on Rudiger for leaving his man like that.

Ibime:
So it was even Jogginghoe that was at fault for City goal today. I missed the second half as my kids had birthday party. Just seeing how he let Jesus get the ball, then turned him to score.

Nobody was at fault for that goal.

Credit to Jesus for being able to squeeze out the shot, but Jorginho got him covered. A deflection off Jorginho's boot left Mendy stranded.

Kante too gave many balls away.

Ibime:
Story for the Gods. He must be having knock everytime he faces a mid-to-top level team.

He must have had knock when he played Spain for 120 mins and only registered 30 passes, or when he played UCL final for 120 mins and only registered 30 passes

Fake playmaker that turns into water carrier when he faces any decent midfield.

Nothing like knock, you are either fit or unfit at this level of football. You can only be unfit for cardio reasons.

Did Jorginho play Bayern vs Chelsea UCL final, or Chelsea vs Man Utd final? Abi is there another final Chelsea played 120mins?

User09:
Cap.

He simply replicated what was an astute second-half performance against Spurs in the last game.

Guess who had to go in that game?

You are unknowingly supporting the Mount narrative.

Mount was poor and needed to be taken off. And then the formation changed to 352. Today Mount is not available, and the formation is 352.

This can be interpreted as, no Mount no 343 (at least for the toughest opponents).

Very disappointing loss.

Fixture swing from next week. Liverpool vs Man City up next, meaning a contender (or both) must drop points. Man Utd fixture swing too for the worse meaning more dropped points for them

It's just 6 games into the season.

We move...

Havertz10:
I knew that this formation was garbage, but reactionary people here kept referencing spurs 2nd half

Just shut up!

We win... 4/4 for Tuchel against Pep.

We draw.... Pep have not beaten Tuchel yet.

We lose... Well, Tuchel beat Pep when it mattered most.



Copied.

Tapsoba of Leverkusen will look good in LCB position for us. Rudiger is replaceable.

nihilistjnr:
My friend stop that!

You were trying to disguise, arguing all sorts of nonsense for the next 48 hours after your 'welcome' post. That's why I will continue to call your name.



For me, Tuchel takes the credit for kponkpon's improvement. Even Kepa looks competent under Tuchel, so please young man, rest!

And may Ukaku continue to blow, cos Timbros took the modafocking L!

I will continue to tell you that Morata >>>Lukaku as at the time the comparison is on.

So you were the one not trying to disguise on your recent Rudiger's comments? hypocrisy.

For me, time takes the credit for Lukaku's improvement. So please young boy, rest!

And may Rudiger continue to blow, cuz Nihilist gets stuffed with uncountable Ls!

airmark:
It will be irrelevant because the answer will expose your flawed view.

Number of crosses he made last season and penultimate, confirmed my stand. Rest, just as you did when you goofed on Belotti's 25+ league goals last time.

I am not comparing TAA's last two seasons. You are the one making those comparisons.

You said TAA do not attack in the absence of VVD. How did he post those g+a in the absence of VVD if he didn't attack?

Is it a crime for Bellotti to post another 25+ goals in his career?

nihilistjnr:
Oga boss relax. This was me only last week

Did you see this post before mentioning me for every goal Lukaku scored for us?

timbros:
My criticism of Lukaku pre Man United is well documented on this thread.

However, watching his development over the years, especially in Inter Milan, and his performance in Euros, coupled with the fact that I am a core Blue supporter who supports everything Chelsea, I wholeheartedly welcome Lukaku to this great football club.

Welcome home Big Rom.

MorataFC:
Tell your boy to sign a new contract, biko.

Haters go kneel down beg before we sign new contract

Actman05:
Rudiger is becoming something else in that team. One of the leaders definitely. I don't know why people aren't having this conversation yet. He is a defender I have seen opponent fans scared to face ( for real). I just hope the board makes the right choice concerning his contract.

Herd mentality. Nothing else. Airmark and Nihilistjnr leaders of the pack.

Rudiger can be prone to mistakes at times but because of the general dislike, you won't find anyone appreciate him even when he has a monster game.

The next thing you will hear now is "community defending" is what is covering him. And I ask, is 343 not a football formation? Must every coach play 2 CB at the back? If 3 at the back makes our CBs tanks week in week out, why change a winning formula?

swiz123:
Lukaku was hiding for most part of yesterday's game. I wasn't surprised no one noticed though

He was not fed well thanks to Mount and Havertz

Nihilistjnr won't remember timbros moniker with all the performances of Rudiger since TT arrival. But let Lukaku score a goal now, my mention will not rest because of Lukaku vs Morata debate that happened decades ago.

Nihilist how far with Rudiger?

airmark:
Using a question to answer a question, shows you've accepted you goofed.

Arnold couldn't bomb forward and cross more in VVD's absence last season, just because of preventing situations below.

Using a question to answer a question shows how irrelevant your question is in the first place.

Did TAA not bomb forward in VVD's absence last season or not? His G+A after in VVD's absence was gotten from bombing backwards, yea?

Ungun Known Man...

Nuff said...

airmark:
What made him to lose form same season VVD got injured?

Maybe he lost form to defend when he leaked goals by not tracking back against Milan last week.

What made the whole Liverpool team lose form when a good number of their players went off injured?

airmark:
Mr Slider, swallow your Ls and rest.

It's ridiculous for you to compare TAA's performance in a title winning season to a season where he and the entire team lost so much form for a greater part of the season. The same year TAA couldn't make Euros.

One question: Did TAA post attacking output (G+A) the period after VVD got injured or not?
