Rest with ur Chillwell/James hatred..

James's recent performances have made u pipe down on ur James hate.

If asked to choose between Baba Rahman and Chillwell, we know u would still prefer Baba Rahman..

The problem with you lot is your inability to prove me wrong hence ur personal attacks.

Who on this thread wouldnt agree James has improved.

Do u still see all those negative back passes that used to dominate his game last season . Think for yourself when watching a football match and stop coming here to regurgitate populist talks.

U didnt even notice James and Chilwell have been asked to occupy different positions. Challenge the football takes, u cant, its all personal attacks.

I have never criticized any footballer beyond his footballing abilities, not everything is hate

Kantebets:
go and check Chilwell’s tackle and interception rate then come back and argue
Alonso is protected by 3 at the back which Tuchel plays which protects his defensive weaknesses
Why did u think Lampard relegated Alonso to training with u 23 team early last season
That man is defensively weak and can’t hold his own in a 4 man defense

Stop bringing Lampard into any conversation about the players. The less said the better

Although if I remember correctly, that was a disciplinary issue

Can't hold his own in a 4 man defense? - Strange cos I seem to remember Alonso being one of Spain best players in the nations league.

Kantebets:
oga Chilwell is well ahead of Alonso except in scoring goals and free kicks
Alonso lacks speed to recover from overlapping runs and doesn’t defend better than Chilwell
Just pray Chilwell returns quick or we sign a left back in January(if Chilwell is out of season)cos Alonso will need one of our midfielders covering that wing for him anytime he goes on overlap which itself will disrupt team structure

Strongly Disagree. Pace Yes. I dont think he's even a better defender

Same Chilwell that just became a first team player few weeks back. The recency bias on here is shocking

Unhappy with Chilwell's injury especially given our tight fixture schedule in December

Anyway, I feel better with Alonso as LWB than Chilwell albeit marginally.

Pace isnt everything in football. Chilwell for the most part is someone who annoys me with his interpretation of football. Doesnt know where to move to, where to pass, when to move, when to do 1-2's. We lose a lot of flow and fluidity with him on the pitch. I'm not sure his brain connects with the football he plays

Although the problem with Alonso is how his levels start to drop once he starts to play plenty games. However, with the switch that TT made recently (where our WB's now occupy those half space position). He's someone who'll benefit a lot.

Jorgiboy cannot do half-turns??

We played very winnable teams who gave us ample spaces to attack.
Havertz have been very underwhelming. Certainly not worth 70m

Tosh.

If u''ve been paying attention, it's actually the opposite. Not a coincidence most of the CB's got carded in our recent games

BikeMan:
LMAO! You people crucified Werner for this excuse. Bloody hypocrites!

Striker noh dey score but we play a lot better with him

I never did. I particularly asked for caution and did the opposite.

Stop the silliness

Havertz10:
havertz has 3 goals in 7 but its poor

We play a lot better with him. Every unbiased person knows this.

I was particularly impressed by his link-up play in this game

NinjaXmetahuman:
0 attempt for leceister so far.


Nice run havertz

When I saw someone say poor decision making up there, I was wondering what he meant.

Cos the nonsense is too much at this point. No body was open for a pass, He kept it moving and was tackled by Evans, got a deserved yellow. So I dont know what he's on about

No word on Mount being poor so far. At least we can see Havertz

NinjaXmetahuman:
Well what..

Kante is doing is primary job super well so far.

Turning leceister city midfield to joke.

Scoring is icing ontop

Kante isnt playing in the midfield in this game

Sometimes I wonder what u guys watch

NinjaXmetahuman:
Shey Kante Na striker ni..

Well, Well Welll

donstan18:
Keeper saved Kante’s ball, he’s not a striker, he was chased and pressured by two players, yet he played on target, don’t use Kante as an excuse for Fraudvertz’s foolish decision of not passing that ball to James.

No word on Kante missing the chance. It's Kai with the follow-up they are guns blazing on

All the long passes from Jorginho, popizaino goes numb

Actman05:
Chelsea have agreed a €23.4m fee with Fenerbahce to sign centre back, Attila Szalai.

The 23-year old Hungarian international will sign a six-year contract with Chelsea and receive an annual salary of €4m ahead of a January move.

- CNN Turk

For someone who was bought this year for less than 3m, This is a lot of markup.

Will look him up later to see if he's worthy

BlueMann:
Na we do ourselves. See the amount of chances we missed. With each missed opportunity, I got this sick feeling that we might get sucker punched.

Such a shame man. You've got to be putting your chances away.

And nobody should blame Barkley abeg. His was just one of the many missed chances we had.

In all honesty, the blame should be on Rudiger for playing them onside

Almajirihunter:
Yeah one bad game he shouldn’t be playing for the team, maybe you should be playing in his place

Indeed....He's just not good enough. His football IQ is in the bottom

One million goals from him doesnt change a thing

Chilwell shouldnt be playing for this team

Gonna need a bit of luck to score now

thorrvik55:
Lol.. So Hakimi is worth 71M?

Money that would be better spent improving other aspects of the team

PSG bought him 52 million pounds.

Dont know where ure getting your figures from

Exonerate1:
How did Havertz miss that

T'was a block. Shoulda been a corner

thorrvik55:
James balling but Swiz123 and his crew will still come with five page essays, labelling Marina incompetent for failing to sign Achraf Hakimi for 60M abi 70M

2 things.

1. James has improved so far; possibly cos he plays more in front of the 6's

2. Hakimi is a better WB and would always penetrate the last cm. Also, he's very flexible and can play on the left

Kai limping a bit. Damn!!

swiz123:
Barkley shaming cassanova thus far

Yeah...Probably better as a sub

Tarkowski the british thug

Kante has been ignoring a lot of forward runs

Why not CHO on the left and Barkley on the right

Havertz10:
CBN spends N58.6bn to print 2.5bn Naira notes

I understand why they are trying so hard with enaira

No....

2.5 billion pieces. Value was actually in trillions. Had to check the currency report to confirm

Jorgiboy with another MOTM

Almajirihunter:
Still tired?

U know what's funny. If Kai hadnt made that pass much further than where CHO was. He wouldnt have made that move.

I really wish him to do better

Looking forward to Kai and Pulisic interactions in the coming games
