Nothing to see here again

No control whatsoever. Left to Right; Right to left.

Smh

To be fair, it was a bad pass by Silva. But his defending has been really good

Chalobah's positioning at the back is extremely suspect

.

BlueMann:
As per lineup, there's nothing crazy Potter has done that TT did not do.

Is is Gallagher in the pivot? RLC and/or Pulisic at WB? Havertz as false nine? Cucurella at LCB? Which one?

Please explain the why?

I can definitely tell u the respective reasons (depending on the game) for TT's own

To be fair lol. The only Chelsea English player who I think his problem goes beyond football is Chilwell.

I absolutely do not rate the guy. I watch his in-plays and I just cant understand the guy and what he's setting out to do.

With every other English player, It's just what I think at the moment

arukwe123:
and everyone know you are a James hater. James is better defensively and not too far off offensively.

No I am not. I mentioned it here when he improved and also when he stopped with the back passes.

I'm also quite specific with my criticisms and it doesnt go beyond football.

People on here are just sensitive with certain players

BlueMann:
Having watched Hakimi closely for over a year now (thanks to Messi who made me to start watching PSG), I can confidently say that James>>

Hakimi is a top WB anyways, and would've been a fantastic deputy. But he is not the better wingback, or footballer in general.

Lol...Everyone here knows you as a James stan so of course ure likely biased

I've definitely watched more PSG matches than you have and no way you arent wrong lol

Maybe another day we'll have the arguments and do me a favor; Please project the metrics u used then

I'ld welcome anyone who has a contrary opinion and wants to take me on on my (footballing) James criticism up there.

Bloody fool cant see he's making my point for me

I think I've overindulged. Will stick to only footballing talks now

User09:
Havent really watched the guy.

There's a dearth of Top LB/LWB's in football right now. Which is why I wanted us to get Hakimi as he can also play on the left wings

Anyway, I like Guerreiro of Dortmund and think he would be a good fit as a LWB if TT wants to continue with WB's

This is all I said. Particularly emphasized that the guy can also play left wing. Nowhere did I suggest selling. Morons constantly looking for a one-up

Maybe we wouldnt have needed Cucurella. Also probably would have had a better outcome given that both Chilwell and James had long spells out

Android22:
Thank God for sensible people like you. I know many people on here are allergic to thorough research and speaking the truth so it is always nice to see someone who does not follow the herd.

For those who care to know, the Haaland family put out a documentary on the "Decision" similar to what Lebron did in 2010 when he declared he was going to play for Miami Heats. In that documentary, Erling and his father told the world the order in which they favored clubs. City was number 1. Bayern Munich 2. Real Madrid 3 and PSG number 4. That is from the horse's mouth. Chelsea and Liverpool were 5&5 and Barcelona was number 7.

Everyone and their cat will know that whatever Haaland's financial terms were, all those clubs listed above were willing to meet it. So the family had to use a points based system to rank teams and City finished number 1 which is why he selected City.

Forget all those tales by moonlight about 900k and other junk. Manchester City consider Kevin Debruyne their best player and were never going to offer anyone a salary higher than his. Also, nobody will give a striker crazy bonuses for doing what strikers are supposed to do. Haaland earns the same amount as Kevin Debruyne.

If people consider Bayern a prudent club, then they should explain how Bayern would have spent all the nonsense figures for 1 player. Bayern would never. Don't let people deceive you into forgetting that FFP rules govern transfers. Neymar family are in court in Spain today because of his deal in Barcelona.

City know that due to their recent runnings with UEFA which they won in court, they are now 10 times more diligent and careful about any deal because UEFA will use it to get one back. Stop listening to people that just type whatever comes to their mind on the fly. You should never listen to people who never admit when they are wrong as well.

It is simple. Google the facts I have laid bare here. You can even watch the documentary for yourself and hear Alfie explain things. Everybody pays agency fees. It is usually between 10-20% of the transfer figure. By next season, UEFA even want to clamp down on it.

Buahahahaha @ Haaland going to RM or PSG. Clubs he already rejected. The only reason Halaand will even leave City is if Pep retires. Haaland said Pep was part of why he selected City even though he never goes to teams because of the manager.

This is exactly what it is. I was gonna ignore the entire debate as I do with most of his tripe cos I was gonna come off as Anti-Chelsea.

How do u exaggerate stories and crap just to prove a nonsensical point. Dortmund audited accounts of multiple years throws the entire rubbish argument into water. By next year when City releases theirs. Watch out for the other leg of the spin. Talmbout Leveraged buyout

Never seen someone so ignorant and yet so prideful

Segedinho:
Anyone can make a mistake with a given formation......especially when d opposition formation swallows yours

d ability to correct it matters alot in football...




I think without James and kante,by now Chelsea would have been in shambles praying for miracle

Indeed.

Does this theory only work for Potter?

popizaino:
What is that mistake?

Tell me what went wrong with the Bentford game and confirm if same happened today

Segedinho:
like fantastically well...

He spotted d deficiency in d midfield and corrected it ..

A deficiency he created or was he blind in the Brentford game.

Who rates a Chelsea coach for a stupid mistake he created or does this look like Brighton.

Potter was clueless in this game. Dont try and spin anything

Havertz10:
Player of the season

Like I've always said Hasselbaink is one pundit I rate a lot.

Quite the professional, and says things a non-biased pundit would

Fergie time to the rescue once again. Anyway a draw was a deserved outcome

Potter making the same mistakes all over again.

popizaino:
Jorginho has been ok for me in this game.

Of course. I'm sure it's cos of the forward passes

Starting to look like some players are mainstays cos of their passports

RLC stealing a living as always. Worst part is the ignorant ones blaming Jorginho for it

Seems like Potter also doesnt know Mount's ideal position

RLC ahead of Kovacic. Cucurella CB

This game is really begging for a counter from Ten Haag perspective

PDPGuy:
I feel that the fear of missing the WC due to the injury is that reason why some supposed top players are putting in average shifts these days.

I mean, which what has happen to RJ, Kante, and Jota, every player from now till early November would not want to take unnecessary risks on the pitch. This, in turn, will make some leagues (especially the PL) unpredictable as to who would end up winning or finishing in the UEFA places.

In the end, we will have to blame FIFA’s EXCO masterclass in awarding the WC hosting rights to a country whose average summer temperatures are between 110-120F

This is a theory I can work with. Particularly in the case of Kai who's been pretty much average these past few games.

His body language is even worse. Maybe sit him and play Pulisic more as that one is always looking to take risks

popizaino:
I wonder what you saw but for me i have seen improvement in the team as compared to how we were under Tuchel. Your MCM was a disaster before he left with his useless non inspiring pattern. Today you can see through pass,strikers getting to touch ball inside the area,midfielders gettings the chances to either shoot or lay a pass from the midfield, everyone trying to make attempt at passing forward including your man Jorginho, these are what gives us hope that the team is on the right track under Potter. Watch our ball without any previous bias and i am sure you will be impressed as well.

I see.

To you, Football is all about midfield elegant passes.

You know whats funny is most of the accusations TT suffered, Potter is pretty much doing similar. And yet, I cannot see the why

Unnecessary tinkering. Most of his formations are still variations of 3 atb. Players are also being played out of positions. Cucurella playing CB, Sterling playing wing back. Kai on the left. Gallagher in the middle e.t.c

This one is just a low budget AVB who's still excited about playing youths and all that

I'm not even going to indulge your comparison between the 2 coaches. Someone who was hired for having good man management and being a Yes man. Nothing in his portfolio even suggests a top coach. Hopefully I see something different as this was just his 5th game that I watched so maybe I was seeing the wrong things

Anyway, I think i've seen enough already on Potter to be uninspired. I don't think he's got it. Only a matter of time before he gets axed

I mean constantly switch Sterling from a winger to a wingback plus all dem tactical switches every second; He's not fooling anyone.

Playing Mount - Gallagher in the double pivot and Jorginho further up. He's really lucky Gallagher got injured. I mean 2 headless chickens in the middle

Dont know how we survived the terrible pairing of KK and Chalobah. Bad Bad. For those excited about Cobham and what-not. Lampard had those moments too. And No; this is not a biased take

BlueMann:
Awareness and decision making are his biggest flaws, I've known since observing him at Southampton. But those can be worked on, and what a player we'd have on our hands if they are (worked on).

Well I can deal with players being raw. What I do not like in players is lack of on-field intelligence

Also seems too eager. He should relax

Broja getting ahead of himself.

That should have been a simple pass. Twice now

nateevs:
Of course we are. You... and everyone else.

I dont like to argue obvious things

There's a reason Kepa was exposed and dragged out of position twice now.

nateevs:
Nonsense. Why are you never objective?

Lol. I dont understand all these fangs. I am anything but not objective

We're probably watching 2 different games
