If Chelsea get osimhen today, e for be a win for Chelsea. Osimhen is an aerial threat, can press more then Jackson, faster than Jackson and far more clinical. Chelsea attack lacks biting. Loads of crosses and corners and couldn't get a goal from it? Aside that they played very well just that they failed to take their chances

Osihmen will struggle in this Chelsea team.

I Just discovered that Chelsea Wingers do not connect with the Striker and they are a bit Overrated. e.g Pedro Neto, Mudryk, Nkunku, etc

I had seen this same 2-1 scoreline in more than 4 prediction websites many days before today..

Wordson:
you are right.. I believe we will keep improving.
But I seriously won check sth next weekend at Emirate. Na that team I fear pass.. we don chop for that place 2 times na..
We really have to improve

Arsenal is very weak at the moment.

Trueigbo:
We need a striker.

Wetin be Jackson again

Blankstare:

Chelsea is troubled with inexperience shaky defense, the Frontline aren't doing bad..

Yes 💯 percent inexperience will be the undoing of our defence this season.

Losing Thiago Silva was never a good idea but our mafia American boss wants young players in the team.

lexy2014:

was it not Anfield when Nottingham Forest won Liverpool 1-0?

We gave them some help to move forward... But Chelsea, no way...

Wordson:
Really??

You disagree?

Ekaka14:

Stop this childish trolling and go enjoy your win jare!
Can't some you guys ever banter with some brains and decency ni

Now just look at the nonsense you type....
Mr brain and decency... No be me kill ur papa

Chelsea defenders are not experience enough, Chelsea need to get better defenders and upgrade the keeper too because there is a good structure in the defence but no experience player to fit in it, most especially the centre defenders at the back 4 we have.

It should have been good and experience young defenders and not all those inexperience and poor decision takers defenders they got

I is the easiest prediction for the game. Liverpool will win bit Chelsea will score will end up 2-1. Though some match are fixed but not like dis one

Na klopp high line dey make mardrid dey flex us .. this one no dey play higline so vinicius and co go get hard time running that defense over..

When Oshimen played against Liverpool at anfield with the formidable Napoli under spaletti...did he even see a shot on goal?
Una go just dey hype player anyhow!
If Cole palmer that was banging goals was obviously marked by Liverpool defence nah osihemen way wan score?

Odss11:
Chelsea creating a team...they are improving.
Liverpool was a bit poor, experience won them the game.

You most definitely didn’t watch the match. The blues didn’t even deserve a goal from their plan pattern and Liverpool were supposed to have sealed the win in the first half with 3 goals at least if not for Jones’ inexperience. In the first half, a goal was disallowed for silly offside, Jones was busy shielding and looking for another penalty instead of converting that madass assist from Salah. Did you see those Salah’s killer passes and trivela through passes? Liverpool need a proper 9. They played better, more beautiful football. It would be very unfair if Chelsea had seen a draw with that awful display. Sancho that was causing little disturbance to Liverpool’s defense was later subbed off

So because he didn't score in a single match means say he will never score again? Howany goals did Halaand scored in his first match against Chelsea? Abi wetin this one dey talk? Osimhen is a world class striker and he has proven it times without number. [qquote author=bentenny post=132519023]

U guys love to overhype Oshimen but his real test came in form of Liverpool and was well marshalled by VVD....so how do u think he was going to score in a young and less organized team like Chelsea?
Oshimen is a good striker no doubt but saying his purchase will change Chelsea's fortune instantly is a joke taken too far!
As much as Chelsea have improved under maresca,their defence not their attack should be his immediate priority!

Did you ever see klopp's highline .. van dijk and Co are usually situated at an inch away farther from the midline of the pitch .. now check where the defenders are since slot's has taken over and tell me what a higline is again ...

Guy firstly,if u want to know if a team plays a high line,check the offside stats!
Check the amount of offsides the opposition have esp the top 6 clubs against Liverpool under slot and klopp!
Maybe we need to get to atleast half of slot's season to make a conclusion!

Secondly,it's illogical to compare a manager's maiden entrance of 10 to 11 games pattern(without playing mancity and arsenal) to a 9 year success of a manager that has won everything!
The high line u r condemning now is what won Liverpool a UCL,EPL and other major trophies!
Same high line was adopted during a season Liverpool narrowly lost the EPL by one point to mancity who were the only team to defeat Dem in the entire season,had the best defensive record conceding less than 10 goals and won the UCL!

Thirdly,there is nothing wrong with adapting to a high line esp against a possession based team as long as the players esp the defenders can execute it to some level of perfection which Liverpool had successfully done under klopp!

There are similarities between slot and klopp pattern of play but while klopp pattern adopts a more direct approach,slot favours a calmer movement which does have it advantages and disadvantages because if the players had adopted the klopp approach,we would have been 3-4 goals up before half time!
However,the good news is that Slot has assured that he won't change what the team is used to but will simply balance both the chaos footy of klopp and his calmer possession based footy!
For me that's not only reassuring but it shows he is willing to learn & adapt!


Lastly,I would appeal that U and other overly excited LFC fans tone down on ur expectations of Liverpool's progress under slot to avoid any future HBP!
Without doubt,they are doing well and seem like genuine contenders but that's where we have to be careful so that the young manager isn't put into a lot of pressure which will be detrimental to their progress as they navigate towards tricky fixtures starting with RB Leipzig!

first off .. no ones is trying to condemn klopp's highline.. I'm just saying, our defence has been less porous due to not playing the highline unlike klopp's time.


I find it odd using offside to check it team plays the highline .. Ange of Tottenham is playing the highline football .. Shall we use them as a case study to check how many offside has been in their favour...

If you really want to check if a team plays the highline football .. check the position of the CB's ...


I don't think offside traps are used to determine highines ..



I do agree with you that klopp's style of play would have had us 3-4 goals ahead..


Hahaha. About the part of not having too much expectations from slot as to avoid having high BP . Slot is the one giving us that expectation nw . Look at his run of games...
He's even topping the league .. Although itv seems to early but the man dey give us dangerous hopes . As I dey nw, I am already having expectations of winning the league 😁😁😁 .

Go and learn analysis

The guy you quoted was right

Chelsea as a team have greatly improved

The loss was good for them

Chelsea had more possession with 60 percent

Had more shots on target than Liverpool

Even international football analyst were talking that Liverpool midfield was completely lost

That's why they were looping the ball over the midfield to get it to Salah where the two goals came from
They were completely outplayed in the midfield

What made Chelsea lose was inexperienced defense

DeeScan:

But thats exactly what U are doing unless u didn't t read ur comments!
Less porous after how many games?
Common nah...in Tuchel first season at Chelsea,he won his first 10 games and was top for over 2 months with a watertight defence but before the end of December,everything started crumbling and the once 'less porous' defence was conceding goals like an uncontrolled tap!
A manager is not judged by his first 10 games in an EPL but every single game!

DeeScan:

Offsides are used to ascertain the ability of a team to properly utilize the advantages of a high line against their opponents and if properly executed can be an enormous asset!
If Konate had moved his leg swiftly like VVD,Jackson goal would have been ruled offside!
Why would u even use an inconsistent team with a chaotic defence like Tottenham when there are teams like mancity and Brighton that have worked it to near perfection?

DeeScan:

If you really want to check if a team plays the highline football .. check the position of the CB's

Like seriously?
That one of the main advantages of having a high line!
U need to go back and ask Google why managers use a high line in soccer!

A high line in football is a tactic in which defensive players stay close to the middle of the pitch when their team is in possession of the ball. Because defenders stay higher up in the field, the opposition’s offensive players must move to the middle of the park to avoid the OFFSIDE TRAP. Therefore, reducing spaces and keeping the opposition away from the defending team’s goal.

That was the same expectation Tuchel gave Chelsea fans very early in his first full season....they were scoring goals,the midfield was compact and defence was impenetrable but towards late November,the team fell like pack of cards after they lost their first game away to westham!
See I like klopp no doubt and its painful not seeing him and the legendary fist pumping after a win!
But slot is here and I want him to succeed!
But I'm also mindful of the upcoming fixtures that will be really a test ground for this team and his tactics!
Midweek it's RB Leipzig,then arsenal and then back to back games against Brighton,Aston villa, Madrid,Bayer Leverkusen
E nor go easy ohh

Why should i even take this one seriously?
You legit said Chelsea outplayed Liverpool and had more shots on target?😂😂
Next time, watch matches and stop relying on nairaland mods for updates. Actually, it was Chelsea’s very first shot-on-target that got them the first goal and you saying Chelsea had 60% percent total possession and more shots on target mean you definitely didn’t watch the match because anyone who did watch the match wouldn’t make that senseless blunder
Updated: I just checked and found Chelsea actually had total of 2 on target and I’m very sure it was Jackson’s goal that gave them the first one. No single on-target in the first half Also, on the expected goals ratio, it will interest you to know that Chelsea had less than 1 expected goals (0.99) meaning that from the nonsense they played, they were not even expected to have up to 1.0 goals. Dey watch matches and stop relying solely on livescores and Nairaland

Just because of one match How many match Messi played against Chelsea before he could score? Osimhen is overhyped? Then your football IQ is overhyped by you.

Overhyped? most strikers who do very well in the Italian league hardly adapt to the rigors of the EPL!
Sacamacca is one of them!
He played in the Italian league and was banging goals...came to westham for a record fee and could not score UpTo three quarter of his goals before leaving to Atalanta!
Hope u remember andriy Shevechenko was one of the most lethal ac Milan strikers in the serie A but as soon as he was bought by Chelsea that was the end of his career as a footballer!
Wat about Adrian Mutu the prolific striker from Parma but as soon as he went to Chelsea,he scored only one goal before going back to the serie A and started banging goals!
I can go on and on!
Between Oshimen and younger Shevechenko,who was a better striker in the serie A.... Shevechenko was back to back to back but Oshimen did one season and u feel he is the best striker😄😄
There is a data for all these but I guess my soccer IQ is also overhyped like U said....maybe we need to check if ur database of footy is also overhyped 😂😂

So, there were no players that left seria a for england and they weren't flop? Giafranco Zola, Dennis Berkamp, Thierry Henry etc nko? Abi na from naija league dem comot go england? Because player A flopped, does that logically or technically mean say player B go flop too? This your football IQ self na WA. Osimhen still scored 15 league goals out of 27 matches he played last season despite his injury wahala. And you still think that was a fluke?
