BlueMann:
From a statistical POV, Kovacic wasn't as bad as he was painted.

8 of 12 long balls completed, 9 of 11 duels won, 83 passes (over 90% completion rate), 3 key passes, 1 clearance, 4 interceptions, 7 tackles.

his positioning as a number 6 was bad but his game play was good, not as a number 6. He improved when Jorginho came in

Southampton heading the path of relegation

Southampton have accepted a £15m bid from Leicester City for Denmark defender Jannik Vestergaard, 29. After selling Ings they will likely sell James Ward-Prowse as well

This our thread dey funny sha...

Now it is how important the assist was and not the goal by Ziyech

BlueAngel444:
Chelsea have accepted a £34m bid from Roma for England striker Tammy Abraham, 23, that includes a buy-back clause. wow mad o

£34M with one year left on his contract.. Very good deal

NinjaMetahuman:
so?

He won it based on what stat?

Is Modric a DM to be making interceptions and tackles for you? LMAO go sidon

you didn't answer the question.

He won based on what stat? Are there no players with better stat in whatever position you think he plays?

Go and rewatch the goal we conceded and see how Kova was ball watching.

Times like this, you just have to agree with Thecassanova's rants about him.

I would loan chobalah out and sign kounde, all these people hyping up him now will be the first to crucify him, a few games doesn't make a player excellent, perfomances over time and experience is what makes a player good, there were so many flaws in his game but guessing those can be overlooked because he is an academy graduate, maintain this energy if the board foolishly abandons their pursuit of kounde and chobalah starts to flop, it's this same mentality that made us to keep having faith in that balloon called zouma instead of signing someone good enough to hold down that position long term

Let him return from injury and not hit the ground running, the Ziyansh gang will resume their agenda that he only knows how to spam crosses.

Emaprince:
Dont mind havertz10 who believes mount will be benched this season. I wonder if havertz who mount chased away from midfield will now be returned back to displace mount?

Havertz is in a hot seat with the arrival of lukaku

where were you during the euros? How come you only appear when you have a lifeline to base your agenda on, havertz is an Abramovich signing, he personally insisted that we sign havertz, he gave tuchel the job because of havertz, german national team is going to be built around his talents, tuchel is german, there is no affiliation greater than that, wake up and face reality, you build teams around exceptional players not generic fools like mount

I never said Football is not about stats I mean is not all about stats. Modric won the 2018 Bdor not because of stats but success and influence on the pitch. Similar was Nedved when Henry could win it. There is more to football rather than stats.

Skimpledawg:

Mehn, Odoi made that young lad suffer.
Trevor was running up and down cos Odoi was strolling on the pitch.

No be small thing.
Pretty sure he won't try that nonsense playing on the same flank as Rudiger. Na to chase am commot for pitch.
Chalobah showed humility and maturity and focused on his own game.
Definitely wouldn't want to be playing on the same flank as Odoi. He was uber rubbish in that game.

Lets see what the season will look like.

nateevs:


CHO is not a wing back, and does not have the qualities to do so effectively. We should be pushing for Tuchel to play CHO in his best position, so we can see the best of his potential.

This is similar to playing Chalobah as a left winger, and then criticising him for not being on point.

For those of us who have longed for this era of seeing the youth making it to the first team and playing competitively, we are now worried that we might mis-manage the fruits of decades of hard work.

Livramento was made for that WB position but somehow, we let him slip through.

I want to see CHO played up front on the left for a consistent number of appearances.

Egbon, I am not even going to drag this with you.
Odoi was useless in that match. He failed both his defensive and attacking duties.
Even throw-in sef, he managed to locate an opposing player. What.da.heck?

The only thing he succeeded in doing was to make young Chalobah suffer but thankfully, the young boy stood up for himself.
Odoi was nonsense and rubbish in that match.

Lol.

Oya see this one

2 players left Ajax: Ziyech & Van De Beek
2 players left PSG: Thiago Silva & Cavani
2 players left Leicester: Maguire and Chillwell
Well I reserve my comments
I no dey talk say u no fit leave ohh but, in life destination matters

MaziAlaye:

again, are there no players with better stat?

Is Modric the best player in Madrid when they won UCL in terms of stat.

Is Modric the best player in world cup in terms of stat?

if football is not about stat, then why exactly did Modric win balon D'or when there was Ronaldo, Messi etc that always drop ridiculous stat every season?

Point is, as long as there is no specific metric for choosing balon d'or winner apart from your team winning major trophy and you being integral part of the team.

Jorginho was integral part of the team that won all the trophies this season.
Not like he was winning those trophies from bench like Emerson

Let's not forgot jorginho is Chelsea highest goal scorer In epl last season.

His influence is underrated because there are other players with more flare in the team but he absolutely achieved more than everyone else.

If Modric could win it, I donot see anyone more deserving of the balon d'or this season than jorginho. Period.

With all these you can't point one competition Jorginho was awarded the best player in.

Checkout Nedved/Henry 2002/2003 season stats and you'll see it's not all about stats

This is how you move when you don't need to spend 1bn before winning UCL and Super cup.

I know sha, that's why I said from a statistical POV.

I was surprised he was still on the pitch and Kante left, but I think he got better as the game went on.

Chelsea have to announce Lukaku today, so he can be registered and partake in their next training to be able to feature in this weekend EPL opener.
