Extra 30mins for City.

FA Cup advantage for Chelsea.

When did we score 6 goals with your useless Sterling on the pitch?

I don't know why you are attracted to useless attackers. Yesterday, we saw how Morata missed an almost open net to help Athletico into the semis. This is the same Morata you almost cried when as I wanted, was shipped out of Chelsea for ruining our seasons with his big misses.

You should be learning Arabic as we will throw both you and your useless Sterling to Saudi, by summer.

Continue embarrassing yourself...

Don't know when to shut up and move on.

airmark:
It is back to our attack.

Just a little rejig, with your useless Sterling watching from the stands and we scored 6 goals. Imagine when we bring an upgrade that can score goals to replace a goal-shy Jackson, we will be sure of top 4.

We don't need to waste any money on LB or RB as you proposed. We can call back Maatsen, while Gilchrist and Gusto are enough backups to Reece. Just get a new CB (Silva's replacement) while injured Colwill and Fofana return, and splash the bigger amount on getting scorers upfront.

We need to convert most of our big chances, we don't need new LB and RB to fix that.

Stop jumping from pillar to post. Sterling have been benched for many other games that we failed to win. Why didn't that temporary fix work on those matches? Because our defence was trash, simple.

We have been scoring with or without Sterling. So that theory is thrown out the window.

You are really slow Airmark. And I'm genuinely ashamed of that. Your own is buy buy buy, forgetting that our issue goes beyond buying here and there.

timbros:


If I can get ONLY 3 players with 200m, I'll get a CB and CF. The last spot will be either of LW/RB/LB.

Fofana, Chilwell, James all have terrible injury records. Silva is already semi retired. These are defensive positions that needs reinforcement critically. I have not even mentioned the goalkeeper department.

Our left and central side of attack currently needs upgrade.

So you see that our problem is not just attack.

And apart from just signing players, we need a coach that can actually upgrade the players we currently have. A different coach can come in and change these crop of players to monsters and drop the jaw of football world. These are young players that can be moulded.

Mourinho came into Chelsea in 2004 and suddenly Geremi became solid. Terry became a rock. Lampard already have the talent but he became much much more better. Joe Cole became a terrorist. Even soft Glenn Johnson deliver wenever he was called upon..... All these are players Mourinho met in Chelsea. So apart from his signings, he still improved the players he met in the club.

Chelsea issue is not just attack.

I know you read the bolded, but either you are too slow to understand it or you choose to ignore it and press on with your agenda.

Go and sign all the strikers in this world and give them to Pochettino, I assure you that I will still be here to see your wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Go sleep.

airmark:
Your Sterling got benched as prescribed (temporary fix) and Palmer playing closer to the box with Madueke and we killed Everton with enough goals in the 1st half. By summer we just need Silva's replacement and bring in better finishers. That's all. All those LB, RB can wait, more concentration should be on attack to relieve Palmer of the immense burden.

Is it back to Sterling now? Brentford and Sheffield, it was Jackson. Before then, it was Sterling.... Now it's back to Sterling because Jackson scored and assisted twice.

Do you see how confused you are?

Calibrator:
Pity those in the two leagues I am in who will be drawn against me in Round 32 and subsequent cup rounds.... I have some wicked ammunitions locked and loaded.

GW 35 - Bench Boost.....

GW 36 - Freehit....

GW 37 - Haaland TC DGW

GW 38 - Wildcard



Even if I don't later win any of the two cups, I know one or two managers will not forget me anytime soon

Wrong strategy

Unlimited22:
A better CB pairing that Brodashile and Disaster and we wouldn't be in this situation either.

Poch has contributed to the wahala, the attack has contributed, the defence has also contributed.

If we hadn't stupidly thrown away three points vs Burnley and Sheffield alone we'd currently be in 6th place with a game in hand.

No mind airmark.

airmark:
Fact only.

Cc Timbros.

Blind argument and agenda made you to NOT see this post I made as far back as February, and many others like it.

I am not you that live on "Fix the attack. Finish"

iamoyindamola:
Aquatic one knows what he is
Why are you afraid of praising palmer

Anything he touches................

Trevor012:
I can't leave trophies when giggs in 24years at United won more than Chelsea has in it's entire 100 years plus history. The man is literally bigger than your mid table club

What we are 100% sure if is Giggs>>>>>>> Chelsea.


Palmer >>>>>> Hazard and Drugba. Palmer is Chelsea biggest talent of all time.

Use the same metric for both comparison.

You no fit use trophies compare Giggss and Chelsea then use hattrick compare Palmer with Hazard.

The agenda no gell... Try another agenda.

afrodoc2:
Just seeing this. Sancho is not a United fan, but Palmer is. Our local scouts dropped the ball on him, as he is from the same place as Rashford and Ravel Morrison. Palmer used to play extra well whenever he faced us in the academy, probably to prove a point.

At the end of the day, it depends on which academy gives you a chance. Even John Terry (captain, leader, legend) was a Manchester United fan growing up. Luke Shaw was a Chelsea fan. Fowler, Owen, Carragher were all Everton fans.

Wow.... This is news to me.

nihilistjnr:
This is exactly why i didnt initially engage you on the Burnley game.

Its not because of Agenda. Its because you're actually stupid.

I literally gave you not only the xG of the shot, but provided the explanation of xG for your slow ass.

It is a stupid man that argues against facts.

Na xG make your defenders dey watch the worst attack in the league play one two in their front and score a screamer? Na xG make your defenders no fit mark their box properly in a corner?

Na xG I go start to check after watching a match and ignore what I clearly see happen during the match abi? Because I don't know how to watch ball again.

drisham:
If we had hired someone else and currently doing badly

Popi will not fail to remind us every match day how he recommended poch 😂😂

Agendaland

E better like this. At least this attack that is our problem, the main cause is his recommendation

nihilistjnr:
Your problem is that you are willfully obtuse and sworn to ignorance.

Look at the chart below and educate yourself, instead of exulting in obduracy.

xG of 0.2 means that a shot would typically have a 20% chance to be a goal.

The goal that Burnley scored had an xG of 0.03. That means the shot only had a 3% chance of entering. I know you're slow if you're looking to blame Chelsea defence for conceding a Golazo from outside the box, but a 3% chance means that statistically, Cullen could only expect to score that goal 3 times from 100 shots.

It was a hit and hope lucky shot, which probably explains why that is the only goal that man has scored this season.

The second goal was from a corner, again with a xG of 0.07. Corners are dice rolls and conceding from a corner is not necessarily indicative of defensive porosity.

Pochettino came out after that match and said based on stats, we should be 4th. BBC pundits did post match analysis and pointed out how wasteful we were that day. Sky sports pundits were laughing at Sterling in particular.

It's incredibly stupid to have an extra man for 2/3rd of the match against the team in 19th place, and be blaming conceding 2 fluke goals for drawing the game.

Use your fücking brain.

I thought Airmark takes are ridiculous but I just pick up my jaw from the ground right now. Like, LOL...

Hit and hope shot, really? LOL... I put it to you Nihilist that you didn't watch that match... Opposition played a one two at the edge of the box and hammered a delicious shot to score and you call it a hit and hope shot? Wow!

"....conceding from a corner is not necessarily indicative of defensive porosity..." LOL... I give up! Not even Popizaino will make this statement.

Why am I even surprised? Who coined the word, agendaland?

popizaino:
I called out Pochettino when we won Luton 3-0 at the bridge but somehow you think i am emotionally driven by poor results.

Tell me why i should continue this discussion with you after the above?

Oche barber

Make Poch tidy unbeaten run to the end of season now and maybe, just maybe qualify for Europa now, na only you go change mouth start to remind us say he was your recommendation.

nihilistjnr:
I didnt want to have to discuss inanities,

We played 60 minutes of football against 10 men. Not just any 10 men either, but 10 men of a Burnley side in 19th place, that have conceded 67 goals this season, and you're looking at your defence instead of questioning your attack?

What is wrong with you? A red card is literally an attacking bonus to the other side. They literally had a defender sent off. Any sensible pundit would rightly be questioning a profligate attack for squandering gilt edge opportunities, instead of complaining about 2 low percentage goals they scored.

They scored a long range shot from midfield (xG of 0.03 btw) and from a corner. The long shot was fortunate, and corner goals are dice rolls, even though I question why a sub 6-foot dwarf like Enzo Fernandez was marking 6'1 Dara Oshea for the goal.

It is only on this thread that I've seen people question why we didnt keep cleansheet playing against the (10 man) 19th and 20th team in the league, instead of spelling Burnley and Sheffield

All this grammar have not answer the question why the worst attack in the division with a man down managed to peg back Chelsea and score, not once, but twice.

BlueMann:
Agendaland...I like the name

Keep the agendas flying

Prepare your agendas for this impending baptism of fire.

Hopefully only 8 goals should be conceded in this line up... But realistically, it will be 12 and above.

timbros:
I'm curious, what do you think about the 2-2 vs Burnley?

I'm loving how Nihilist analyse and breakdown the stats to the last 0.1 on Sheffield's shitty defence and how Chelsea attack is so bad that we couldn't pump them like 15 goals to win the match

But but but same energy cannot be used to analyse and break down Burnley attack to the last 0.1 and let's see how it is possible for that shitty attack to peg Chelsea back with 10men and score 2 goals.

But then, this is agendaland according to Nihilist himself.

When you consistently blame your attackers for not scoring the third goal that deny them the win, my brother, there is problem.

Not once, not twice, not thrice..... Seven consecutive matches now you need three goals or more to win a match. And yet you keep insisting defence is not the issue.

Vischy:
Defense made the difference,timbros wins again 😂😂😂😂

But then this is agendaland ,so nobody is a winner.

Both attack and defense are shit.

End of thread ......................

popizaino:
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

So did our attack improve from last season or not?

airmark:
And your great Jackson scored how many goals in both matches?

One of the reasons I asked us to fix the attack in January, was because the Jackson we have as our top 9, is not even qualified to be our top striker and we needed a replacement to rescue the season asap.
No alternative as your Jackson kept on stinking the joints weekly, with irritating displays in front of goal.

Palmer should stop feeding your useless Senegalese balls as he is clueless and wasteful. Maybe we should convert Gallagher to replace the flop upfront sef.

So the temporary fix is no longer benching Sterling?

nihilistjnr:
You can concede 2 goals a game and still theoretically win the league.
The maximum points a cleansheet with no attacking output can give you is 1 point.

I might have to remind you that the only way to win a game is not to outdefend your opponent, but to outscore them

Focusing on 52 conceded goals is funny. In 2014, Liverpool conceded 50 goals and finished 2nd in the league. In 2012 Arsenal conceded 49 and finished 3rd. Just last year Brighton conceded 53 (more than 52) and finished 6th. In 2022, Manyoo conceded 57( more than 52) and finished 6th.

Same manyoo has won league in 2000 whilst conceding 45 goals.

The gap between 45 and 52 is a lot smaller than 52 and 63.

Our defence is not the reason we are languishing in thr bottom half of the table. Maybe it has something to do with a terrible attacker that played a whole game with taking a single shot.

You can score 2 goals a game and theoretically win the league, no?

nihilistjnr:
All these are excuses. The 2 goals Sheffield scored in matches against Brighton, Palace, and Luton were not enough to get them a single point, unlike today against us.

See the teams you are mentioning. So Chelsea is to be classified in the same level as Palace, Luton and Brighton?

Did Sheffield score two against Man City?

nihilistjnr:
And that's why it's an incredibly lazy way of analysing football.

Sheffield united have now scored 8 goals in 4 games. Everybody who has beaten them has had to outscore them.

They led Bournemouth by 2 goals. Led Fulham by 3 goals before VAR, and were drawing 1-1 with Liverpool in the 80th minute 3 days ago.

They were even drawing City 1-1 in that game.

What everybody seems to know, except for Poch and a lot of you on this thread, is that Sheffield are terrible defensively, and so the job of outscoring them is easy.

Sheffield scored the same 2 goals against Brighton this season, and still lost 5-2. Scored the same 2 goals against Luton and lost 3-2, scored the same 2 goals against Crystal Palace and still lost 3-2, e reach our turn now, and I'm hearing all kinds of excuses as to why we can't score more than 2 goals against a team that even Burnley have given 5 this season.

Damn, how my mighty club has fallen sha.

The same way they were drawing Chelsea 1-1 in the game today.

The only difference is that City scored the second and won but Chelsea scored the second and drew.

Who made the difference in both games? Attack or defence?

amodu:
He has shifted to Jackson

No mind am. Forgetting that Jackson started those two matches he claimed Poch temporarily fixed Chelsea attack.

raumdeuter:
2 goals home and 2 goals away

Was any of them a draw?

nihilistjnr:
We've gotten to the point where we're not even complaining that Jackson can't score against the worst defence on the league.

We're complaining that Jackson can't even SHOOT against the worst defence in the league.

A striker having 0 shots against a team that had conceded 20 goals in their last 6 games should be a criminal offence.

It's interesting how you sideline my question regarding the worst attack in the division scoring 2 goals against our defence, with a man down.
