Jackson came through for him. The siamese twins from hell, sent to ruin the team.

January window was there, we still believed in Jackson to continue to be our top striker. Fvck it.

Jackson started Burnley and Man Utd when Sterling was benched and you claimed Poch was on the right track of temporarily fixing our attack.

Say something else.

Airmark how far with the temporary fix of benching Sterling?

nihilistjnr:
Nobody said cleansheet is impossible against them

But it is patently stupid to pursue anything other than obliteration of their defence.

The worst ever defensive record in EPL was Derby County in 09, conceding 89 goals.

Season never end, and Sheffield have conceded 81. If you're annoyed in a 1-1 game that we should be looking for cleansheet, instead of being annoyed that it wasn't 5-1 at half-time, then I don't know what else to tell you.

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

swiz123:
When was our last clean sheet and why is it out of place to make a case for it?

I no just understand Nihilist. He is talking as if we are expecting clean sheet against Real Madrid or Man City.

My case is not just Sheffield.... When last did Chelsea Football Club kept a Cheam sheet in a match?

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?

Are you saying clean sheet is impossible against Sheffield because they scored against those teams?

nihilistjnr:
We scored a corner.

That's not an attack.

Sheffield have conceded a million goals this season.

Attack vs Defence isn't even a thing here. We cannot be discussing kerping clean sheet against a team that conceded 21 goals in 4 games this season.

Our attack is not the best, far from it. But have the goals been coming for us? Yes! Enough goals to keep us in European position but our defence is what is letting us down badly.

Why won't we talk of clean sheet when we concede twice against the worst attack in the league who is one man down?

Attack brought about that corner kick btw..

andrewbaba44:
Attack vs defense argument loading after the game

I will be there no Matter what

Chelsea will still win though

How many matches now, we always score first.. Why the hell can't we keep clean sheet, protect the goals we manage to score...

The next thing, Popizaino will start talking of come back in a game he was leading

nihilistjnr:
I dey touchline boss man.

Oh okay... The angle of your first picture look like you position behind the post.

SMH

nihilistjnr:
Zero attacking impetus this game.

How you take dey enjoy the game from behind the goal post?

Unlimited22:
Surely this isn't true?

Gone were the days Chelsea use clean sheet to brush teeth...

popizaino:
Man city conceded 2goals to lowly Crystal Palace but scored 4goals.


I just say make i update minister of porus defence.

Be capping as usual.

Everton scored a solitary goal against 10 man Burnley and won. Same 10 man Burnley that Chelsea couldn't win with 2 goals.

There is something called clean sheet in football.

My FA Cup opponent have KDB

airmark:
Timewaster oshi.

Prof. Hensben, kudos.

Shut up!

popizaino:
Saka and Palmer can never be in the same category in any rating. You can't compare sleep to death. Saka is above which makes him a worldclass. I don't see any team Saka won't slut in perfectly. Be it real madrid,man city he will be guaranteed a starting shirt. Same can't be said of Cole Palmer.

You mean slot in sir?

Ibeme:
Was Emerson a starting player for Chelsea? Even for Italy he wasn't a starter till Spinazola got injured in the semi. Learn to ignore irrelevant stuff and stop wasting people's time. You are a grown man

Did you mention starter or you just want to shift goal post. Your comment was straight forward and clear, and misleading.

A grown man accept his mistake and move on. Did I die when I admitted to Hensben that he is right?

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.

You hit the nail on the head.

hensben:
Was the focus Chelsea or makelele vs Caceido’s position.

My focus was Chelsea.

However I've heard you. You are correct.

Ibeme:
Save your childish arguments for Airmark. I knew about Emerson even while typing that. I assume normal people will get the message but a word salad merchant like you will start wasting time over nonsense. Face front abeg

Your statement was misleading.

A football newbie will read that and carry it with him, and even argue outside that nobody else won both tournaments that summer except Jorginho.

Normal people got your message that only Jorginho won both tournaments. And it's a normal person that is questioning the info. The least thing you should do is accept the mistake and move on. There is no grammar you will speak here that will twist your initial mistake.

Jorginho is not the only player that won UCL and Euros that summer. Simple.

Ibeme:
Don't play your foolish pedantic semantics with me. I am well aware of Emerson and didn't come here to play word salad with you just because I didn't write "starting" infront of player.

You are the one doing strong head here.

Instead of acknowledging your goof, you are claiming right.

You specifically made a statement, without adding any if or but or apart....

Did any other player win both major tournaments that summer? Yes or no.

Ibeme:
Stop being funny. That statement above says he was fully DM while at Chelsea. "He started CAM then box2box then fully DM while at Chelsea."

If you knew Makelele was a CAM at Nantes you won't try to mock that statement

Hensben taught you something, stop doing strong head.

Interpret it which ever way you want.

I watched Makelele at Madrid and Chelsea. I never seen him play CAM. Why won't I be shocked when someone say he started in CAM to box to box to DM while at Chelsea?

hensben:
Caicedo can play DM but doesn’t mean it is his best position was my point that day. He play more like makelele and not Kante. Remember makelele started as CAM and then box to box to fully DM while at Chelsea.

Rest.

Ibeme:
Stop trying to play smart. Did Hensben original post you mocked say he was referring to Makelele playing CAM at Chelsea?

Yes.

He narrated how he started from attack to DM in Chelsea.

hensben:
Caicedo can play DM but doesn’t mean it is his best position was my point that day. He play more like makelele and not Kante. Remember makelele started as CAM and then box to box to fully DM while at Chelsea.

Ibeme:
Don't try to play smart. Starting player apart from Emerson, yes

Playing smart how? I mentioned your exact words and asked a question.

Where did "apart" enter from?

You specifically said no other player won both major tournaments that summer. True or false?

Ibeme:
Did the post you mocked mention it happened at Chelsea?

Did my question not specifically mention Chelsea?

airmark:
Rest, Hensben was right.

Show me matches Makelele played CAM for Chelsea.

Ibeme:
Rubbish. Had Donnaruma failed to save one penalty either in the semi or final, Jogginghoe will not even make top 20 in Balon dor

He has not made it before and has not made it since while players like Kante are regular on the ballot. He is just lucky to be the only player lucky enough to be carried to glory in both tournaments that summer by Kante and Donnaruma

Thunder will fire your crooked mouth for trying to pass on Kantes efforts to Jogginghoe that year. Kante was favourite for Ballon dor as of the end of May 2021 based on his UCL performance, Jogginghoe was not even in Chelsea top 7 performers in UCL, he was just lucky Donnaruma helped him cross the line. If Kante won Euros, he would have won Balon dor never mind EPOTY. Jogginghoe only won what he won for being a statistical anomaly - no other player won both major tournaments that summer.

Are you sure?

Unlimited22:
You still haven't answered my question.

How many goals did we concede last season and how many have we conceded this season?

Palmer this and that like say no be e work e dey do

Nihilistjnr just the dodge the defensive part of our game this season compared to last.

Well sha, he don already talk am say na agenda things so i no take am serious.

Ibeme:
Makelele was a CAM for Nantes

Drove them to UCL semi in 1995

...for Chelsea...

Very clear in my post.

airmark:
I can't remember maybe it was just an ordinary one-touch assist.

How will you remember? This shows that you didn't even watch the match.

raumdeuter:
The goal Palmer scored vs Burnley who gave the assist?

Leave airmark to be yarning dust.

airmark:
And against Burnley, your useless Sterling later came to waste the biggest chance to win it at 2-2, to Palmer's dismay. Boy had to voice out.

The introduction of Madueke and Chukwuemeka yesterday completed the job as it created overload on Scummies and they cracked.

Pochettino did what we asked for temporarily and our attack outscored United despite our disasters at the back. By summer, we should sack your Sterling permanently.

If benching Sterling is the temporary fix, why didn't Chelsea win Burnley with Sterling on the bench?

I won't even ask you who assisted Chelsea second lead cuz you won't be able to answer.

popizaino:
If you followed my discussion very well without assuming for me,i have been particular about Chelsea as a team and not this season alone. I brought our goal conceded against other top teams for the past 5 seasons or so and there wasn't much difference as against our goal scored between us and them. This season is an outlier in our goal conceded but trust me,we still haven't improved in our attack as a team.

So where does come back come into the discussion after Burnley game?

Stay focused.
