That was posted in January window, when we needed to resolve our major problem - attack.

Rest.

Should I show you our injury list that same January?

airmark:
Your analogy is foolish.

As usual, Chelsea are among top 4 teams that create big chances weekly but we are missing them in loads. That's why we are where we are.

We have defensive issues, and one could blame it on injuries to Reece, Fofana, Chilwell. What's the excuse for your great Sterling, not to have scored the third yesterday?

So it is this morning you realise we have injured defenders?

Shebi you don't know we have defensive issues when you posted this?

airmark:
Clown, you want us to buy more defenders when we have like 9 defenders and had to ship Maatsen away.

Thank God your profession is not near any stadium.

Do we have surplus 9 defenders that we had to loan Maatsen or do we have injured defenders? Can you stay one place for a second?

When you make a statement and end it with period what does it mean? Nothing more, nothing less.

Airmark don't come here and start shifting post that you even for a second agree that Chelsea have problem in defence.

Below is my detailed response to Jodera when he asked a genuine question about how to improve our team. This post was made on February 20th.

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.

airmark:
Priority should be on attack. That has always been my stand, while we expect injured defenders to return.

If we have 100m to spend, the bulk should be spent on our attack, not 50/50.

Liar.

This has always been your stand below...

Sportsweb:
I have come to conclusion the team needs balance. Disaster and Badashile are dunce. Those boys will relegate any team with their atrocious defending.

But I still think we need striker more. I'm tired of Michael Jackson and madueke Dem.

Airmark is right

Timbros was right too

Airmark is wrong. He says our team doesn't need balance. If we fix attack, everything will be alright.

I have been preaching balancing the team since day 1. Airmark even mocked me for saying we need balance in the team.

Feed your eyes in the screenshot below. Take note of the dates those posts were made.

airmark:
Your analogy is foolish.

Slowly but surely we are getting there.

popizaino:
Say no more.

Is the missed chances not part of match details? What is wrong in rushing to post it here?

So we are talking of a chance that could have given us the third goal to win the match abi?

So two goals is no more enough to win matches for us?

Why is Haaland topping this same Chances Missed table?

popizaino:
Is the goal in the full game different from the one on the highlights?

Ask airmark that always talk of LiveScore

popizaino:
What motive do i have to lie?

To win an argument.

If you say I am only fixated on defence, then you are a shameless cheap liar.

popizaino:
Everyone talks about our foolish attack, only timbros is fixated on defence.

Do you need evidences?

popizaino:
Newcastle United scored 4goals against a high flying Westham side after conceding 3goals. I thought only Chelsea concede as much.


Besides if Newcastle United is able to score as high as 4goals against a high flying Westham side, what makes Chelsea not be able to outscore a lowly Burnley side?

Your head is for thinking not just to antagonise whatever me or airmark says.

Have you watched the match yet? Let me know if I will answer this your question or not.

But even if you haven't watch the match, but actually watch football in general, you will know that a team down to 10 men defend in low block and use everything they have to defend their goal post. Breaking down a resolute 10 man defence is one of the toughest jobs in football.

You don't know how atrocious Chelsea defence was yesterday that's why you are capping.

airmark:
And he converted half chances, that's why he is better than your Sterling and Jackson.

Both half chances and big chances, your Sterling and Jackson are experts in throwing them away. I think you admire wasteful strikers, I remember how Morata's big misses excited you.

So it's by half chances now, not big chances anymore?

airmark:
They were trailing 1-3 and they scored 3 more goals to win the match. You win a match by outscoring your opponent.

Newcastle didn't get the number of big chances we got against Burnley, but they won. Ask yourself, can Jackson bench Isak? Can Sterling bench Barnes?

No serious club will put Sterling to be leading the attack.

Shut up Mr man.

I make my analogy. Make yours if you want to.

I specifically gave examples of teams that scored two goals nothing more nothing less.

Spurs two goals.
Chelsea two goals.
Bournemouth two goals.
Aston Villa two goals.

All of them got a win except one. Why did that one not get a win? Go figure.

If big chances missed is metric for a bad striker, Haaland will be the worst striker in the league.

The Isak you are talking of, is it this same Isak that have missed more big chances than Sterling that you so love to malign?

airmark:
Why didn't you mention Newcastle that conceded 3 goals but still won? You and Raumdeuter, can only deceive yourselves and few dolts.

Did Newcastle score 2 goals?

airmark:
Scoring 2 out of 10 big chances. LiveScore ambassador

Go and convert the 10 big chances before you have hope of winning a match.

Erling Haaland, the best striker in the league have missed more big chances than Jackson and Sterling put together.

swiz123:
Changing at least one of our center backs is our outmost priority. If I were to pick a defender, I would prefer Konate for his pace and aerial dominance. But of course, we are unlikely to get him.

Luckily, with proper scouting, we can see a good defender for reasonable fee. Defenders command lower fees than attackers.

To answer your question, if I have 120m to spend, I will spend 80M on two centerbacks who can defend 49 goals scored by my unproductive attackers and don't make my season look more miserable than it should.

With 49 goals, we should be looking at Europa league, and not battling in the second half of the table fuckkking table!!!. I don't know why you guys can't see this!

They see it clearly, but pride won't let them admit their goof.

Imagine a team with 49 goals with just +2 GD at this stage of the season, 10 games to go.... Just plus two!

How do you compete with such defence?

raumdeuter:
Defence has no issue just score 8 goals every game

Airmark and Popizaino will not see tweets like this. It's only when one foolish person tweet Jackson miss 15 chances, they will rush here and post.

airmark:
The point is, we can say we missed Reece, Chilwell, Fofana, Lavia due to injuries during the season. What's the excuse for our misfiring attackers?

Misfiring attackers that have been consistently scoring 2 or more goals per match now?

popizaino:
I don't think i want to repeat myself on this again.

Check the last couple of seasons and compared our goal for and against, against other top teams and let see if we still need to pour more money into our defence.

So you win the league only when you play well against other top teams only, abi?

popizaino:
That you think defenders alone defend set-piece says all we need to know about your football knowledge.

Another foolish take.

Go and watch the match before engaging me please.

popizaino:
What was the final results of Newcastle United match today?

Which of the goals conceded was a fault of porous defence?

I didn't get to see today's game but from highlights we conceded the 2nd goal on the 80th mins,10mins is still enough to score one more goal and seal the game if we were actually a big team.

The bolded is why you asked that foolish question in italics.

Go and watch the game, come back and delete this nonsense comment.

popizaino:
Everyone talks about our foolish attack,only timbros is fixated on defence.

You are a cheap liar. Do you lie for a living?

popizaino:
Newcastle conceded 3 and still won the match against a better side westham.

You have to be special kind of evil 😈 to want Chelsea back to the days of boring Chelsea. That one that Mark huges Blackburn was more entertaining than.

Remind me how many goals Aston Villa scored vs Wolves? How many did they concede?

You must be a special breed of clown to compare 10 man Burnley (Chelsea opponent) to high flying West Ham (Newcastle opponent).

I don't know if you know that Burnley has the worst attack in EPL and yet with 10 men, they scored Chelsea twice and nearly scored the third.

raumdeuter:
Education is really important

He was mentioning those who won their games today

Airmark needs help seriously.

airmark:
Timbros skipped that because of agenda. Rest.

As usual after this weekend, Chelsea will top the list of teams with big chances missed.

Why will I mention 3-3 match that ends in a draw, a result that Chelsea got?

Are you okay like this? I was mentioning teams that score 2 goals AND WON THEIR GAME. Which of Sheffield or Fulham scored 2? Which of the won their game?

airmark:
You have been arguing with yourself.

Minor problem that concedes 16 goals in 7 League matches.

That's very minor.

airmark:
Sheffield vs Fulham were fixture in Ghanaian premier league, right?

Which of Sheffield or Fulham did you want Chelsea to emulate?

raumdeuter:
Shebi airmark don dey ask why you no score 4 like Newcastle

Chelsea no score dem go blame attack
Attack score 1, airmark will ask why dem no score 2
Attack score 2 airmark is asking why dem no score 4
Soon he will be asking why the attack no score 7 goals per game to be sure of winning vs 10 men relegation team

That's what he expect every match to see... 7 to 10 goals. That is why he will always throw tantrums for every single chance missed. So if team create 15 chances in the game, the score should be 15 goals. Forgetting that the opponent create their own chances too.

kingBolton:
Both airmark and timbros get points sha but agenda will not allow both of them to see each others point.

I have been saying it that the team needs balance, score more and concede less. It's not like I absolve the attack of blame entirely. If you have been following this talk since, you will know that's my stand. But airmark said no. That our defence is okay. Who does that?

airmark:
Attack is our major problem, but Timbros doesn't understand the meaning of the emboldened word.

Aston Villa scored 2 goals.
Chelsea scored 2 goals.
Tottenham scored 2 goals.
Bournemouth scored 2 goals.

But only one team here didn't get a win. Guess why.

airmark:
5 big chances missed and not to talk of numerous half chances that great attackers would have buried.

Rest.

Chelsea 3-2 Leeds
Brentford 2-2 Chelsea
Chelsea 3-2 Newcastle
Chelsea 4-2 Leicester
Chelsea 2-2 Burnley

Attack major problem. Defence, no problem.

airmark:
Unfortunately, Tim.bros has sworn not to be reasonable.

Yes, work on an attack that have been scoring at least 2 goals consistently but leave a defence that have been conceding 2 goals consistently.

Im sorry for any team so unfortunate to have you as coach.

raumdeuter:
If Jay Rodriguez and Burnley had scored instead of hitting the post and won 2-3 will you be here capping

No mind am.

Look at the shambles we parade as defence, he come here dey cap.
