Have some shame.

Your striker had 0 shots in almost 90 minutes, and completed only 15 passes all game.


Even if I'm generous and allow him to count his whole match stats as his first half contribution, that is TERRIBLE.

How can a striker not manage to kick the ball at the keeper all game?

Whose striker?. When did Jackson become my striker? What's this about?.

Oh I see.. There's some pent-up angst that you've been waiting to blow off.

I saw a player who had a good performance in the first half by some clearly defined metrics which I mentioned. I also reiterated the importance of goals in the same comment.

nihilistjnr:
Proof that people will see whatever they want to see. I didn't want to jump the gun so I waited till after the match.

I then went to check the stats.

Nicolas Jackson attempted 29 passes with a 55% pass completion rate. So he completed 15 passes all game.

He had 6 bad controls. The highest in the match...on BOTH sides.

Our striker didn't just have 0 shots on target, he did not shoot at all in this match. 0 shots on or off target.

But yes, great holdup, passing, and control

I clearly said first half.

Why dont you recheck your numbers again after accounting for only first half

Well, the good news is that we have successfully evaded relegation this season.

I guess that's our level now and should be the KPI of the club going forward

Color me shocked

BlueMann:
What a goal from Madueke

Abeg Abeg.

We'll take the goal but nothing else

This guy is staggering and wants to fall off all by himself. Yet no one is tackling him

Palmer looks fatigued.

Also why's Gallagher on the left?

Liked what I saw from Jackson in the first half.

Superb linkup, passing and dribbling. but we need goals man

You keep wondering how some players make it to professional football.

That's exactly how I feel about this Madueke fella.

Cant stand still, always staggering, no coordination, looks like he wants to move left, then moves right.

Bleh!!!

Jodera:
Lol, you think it's only here I get Chelsea info?

Jorginho is not really rated by Chelsea fans whether Nairaland or not.
Even arsenal fans been deh fear him signature.

Him and Kdb are 30+ yrs but you think if Arsenal buy Kdb our fans won't be ecstatic?

That's World class player for you. They're like sunlight, they shine bright. No explanation ought to be needed when assessing them

Didnt dispute it. That's why I gave context as to how it started with the Sarri thing

E say na statistical anomaly.

One would think he didnt even play or win any consistent MOTM performances.

We've been down this road one million times. If you think you would rewrite history, that would be to the fools and your naïve hordes who cant think for themselves.

Like I said and will keep repeating, Please name the only player from Chelsea to win the European Player of the Year medal.

AdisaOwala:
This topic has been trashed out on numerous occasions - Jorgihno was was of the best players at the tourney.

He even bossed the final

Let them twist it however they like. Ati Verratti o, ati Donarrumma, no one gives a s**t

History and posterity has already put Jorgiboy name in the books

Like I said and will keep repeating, whenever they start the stupid talk, just ask them to name the only player from Chelsea to win the European Player of the Year medal.

Elnino4ladies:
Reception Mount got yesterday shows he wasn't forced out of the club. The players and the fans, nobody likes him

If we were going by Nairaland likes and popularity, they'll have you think differently.

Now use the same analogy for Jorginho

Jodera:
Everyone knows Jorginho getting all those accolades is due to his team winning those competitions and him being a starter.

Was he the top 3 or top 5 player in Chelsea in their ucl win or league performances? Definitely not

Was he the top 3 performers in their euro win? No oo.

And to me, that's just his only peak season. Was there any season you were like "Ohhh, Jorginho is really the man?"

Even Busquet and Carrick sef, I dey hail them die.

You can't tell me you're a world class player and even your fans can't acknowledge you.

Barca fans deh acknowledge Busquet
Man u fans dey acknowledge Carrick
Chelsea fans don't acknowledge Jorginho, instead it's Kante.

Forget bros, World class is undoubted.
And you can't just use only one season to attain it

Only you and his critics think this.

We have had the extensive argument on here sometime back, you can go back and check the thread.

They tried to give the Italy accolade to Verratti, the argument was torn apart, Ditto, Kante.

No need rewriting history.

oliverano:
Players like Carrick, Busquet, Jorginho are not always rated highly by fans but by their team mates and managers.

Jorginho has declined no doubt but he was a world class player by all metric. You don't win Euros, UCL, UEFA best player and finish 3rd in balondor by luck, never!!!

I think Pep wanted him to be his DM at a point but that's not really where I'm driving at...

My point is this, the fact that those playing with him, coaching him and the UEFA technical team suggest he was the best at a point, then he did alot right.

Is he currently world class? No. Was he world class definitely yes!!!

You don't get all those accolades by luck at this level!

Touche!!!.

Nobody gives a shit what we all think, If we were that good, we will be on the field coaching or playing in some form.

There's a reason peer review exists. I have never seen any competent player or coach speak badly about Jorginho's attributes.

All they've got for him is adulation and respect for his footballing abilities and achievements. Tells a lot

Jodera:
No no no!

I'm not talking about divided opinions here on Nairaland but other sports platforms as well. Jorginho is always criticized (even though I agree here it's one of the highest). In fact, on different platforms, so many Chelsea fans were glad Jorginho left and many arsenal fans were sad we bought Jorginho.

That itself negates any world class player tag you would want to give him.

As for coaches starting him, he's a good player quite alright so yeah.
But World class?? No ooo!!

Jorginho's hatred at Chelsea solely started as a result of Sarri and the perception that he was his favorite. Especially when the team was suffering from poor results

Then the inept Frank took over and the less said about him and his history with Jorgiboy, the better

Sunday league football at its finest

OK Ok

This feels good

Dalot mumu sha but I'll take it

popizaino:
Na today you just dey know?

What are you moaning about?

Didnt you get what you want?

Weren't you the major advocate for Pochettino

AdisaOwala:
Word on the street is that he rejected a new contract at Stamford bridge and decided to Join UTD instead

Eeya!

Just like that. Our resident golden boy that year

As bad as this United team is, There's a reason they are 6th and we are 11th.

This Chelsea team is really mid table.

Also, why's Mount being booed?, Anyone knows?

andrewbaba44:
Financial advice of the day

Sell all your properties immediately and carry man united to win Chelsea at 3.70 odds

Do this and thank me later .

What a shame

What a mess.

From 2 nil down

Badashile and Gusto guilty there

This team is wack. The less said about Poch, the better

I no even dey see midfield.

Both teams midfield have been wack in this game. See strollers everywhere

BlueMann:
Silva is back. Na wetin e wife talk make am dey bench, believe it or not

Really?

Did Poch confirm this?

swiz123:
I would rather believe Gusto was down injured than believe he was on the pitch while Cucurella went to his position to defend the cross.

Ive been irritated so far.

How can a CB be useless at reading crosses?, fool cant pass too. Looks panicky always too.

Man, I'm just gonna be watching this team for entertainment now

User09:
Badashile the clown made those 2 goals easy for them

Shouldnt Silva be back by now?

Badashile the clown made those 2 goals easy for them

Lmao

User09:
Caicedo's been underwhelming this half
