It's a norm for Mount.


If this doesn't tell that we really need an AM then I don't know what we tell again.

If not for agenda, the problem with the team is the lack of creativity

I'm not trying to defend Havertz, but we have very few created chances most of the time.

Salah has missed more Chances but he still tops the chart. It's obvious that there's more to for him with in 90 minutes. But for us, we wail when one or two is missed because there are very few coming through from the midfield and the back.

No creativity in this team.

Jamie Redknapp: "Chelsea haven’t got that goalscorer like a Drogba or Costa who’s going to get you the 20 or 25 goals that you are going to need to win the title and that’s really where they have come up short."

Well said but I think Havertz should live up to his natural position as an AM and be creating as well, he is an attacking midfielder for crying out loud, his natural instinct is to create good scoring opportunities for his teammates before trying to shoot but you don't often get that from him,I have seen him missed the easiest of passes that i just questioned if he was ever an AM or SS, passes that even Thiago Silva would get right, so he will always be criticized besides everything you just pointed out to be his problem is also that of other attackers notably Lukaku but we all are not ready for such discussion..

No creativity? Are you for real? cheesy

What Werner, Fraudvertz, Mount, Pulisic and Lukaku have missed this season is more than what Salah and Mane have missed. We miss too many chances for you to say we aren’t creative.

We don’t have clinical finishers, that’s the main problem. If we had finishers like Jota, Salah and Mane, do you know how many assists Ziyech and James will be getting with their crosses and square balls? Same thing Trent is benefiting from? cheesy

I’m not saying you’re totally wrong but if we had clinical finishers, we wouldn’t be where we are now.

I don't believe it because Chelsea valuation is not that much and that Baba already refused to pay more than £1.5bln for the club before. Unless price has gone down and the journalist reported the wrong figure

I am still mad at him for failing to pass from this position.To even think he has twice this same opportunity to pass and failed to do so and have people like Swiz123 defended this is what I am still yet to come in terms with. The first instinct of an average attacking midfielder will be to attempt that pass and he will get it 11 times out of possible 10x not to talk of an attacking midfielder who is called a generational talent. Put players with similar left foot like ozil, odegaard, David Silva, Ryan giggs, mata in this same situation and it would have been match over for Liverpool.

You are forming an opinion with still Images. That passing lane was cut out in less than 0.30 seconds. In fact, it was gone immediately he controlled the ball and the direction the ball came from left him with only one possible option: releasing a one touch pass with the outside of his boots and very very quickly too. I can excuse such little margin for error. Mahrez chose to go for goal against Madrid instead of squaring for Folden, you can call him average for that but rest assured he serve you hot L maybe the next minute like he always do to you. Sometimes, shitt happen.

Mount has been doing worse ever since. He always prefers to shoot from tight angles rather than square for a simple tap in. While I make conscious efforts to come to terms with his selfishness, I can't stand his repetitive failure to execute a through ball even with much greater margin for error. Dude basically spams rubbish untill he gets one right. Just like Ziyech will spam crosses in hope of getting one right.

I also understand that you love comparing our players to others. If you must be very strict to criticize players for every little thing they do, I am surprised you haven't called out Silva for his role in knocking us out of the UCL. If excellence is being preached, and no error forgiven no matter the margin, then Silva should be dragged here for failing us on our biggest night this season. He was in fact disgraced by Benzema and until you spare a sermon or two for him, please kindly overlook little errors by other players.

You know for someone who fancies Mount, this is one of his worst attributes.

Hits and Hopes aimless passes and crosses. Passes when he's supposed to shoot and shoots when he's supposed to pass. Drifting to the wings when there's a clear central play. Poor positional play and decision making

Like I said the other time, At some point they'll have to get tired of beating their monkeys over a fact that has not changed.

Well at least until my eyes sees differently.

Can't even count how many times his runs get missed in a game.

You know contrary to what most people think., Even in Germany, it's always been hard to put Kai in a box. Whether as a striker, winger, false 9 AM, bla bla bla

But one thing I'm most convinced of is his space drifting and movements attributes. The way his mind works in terms of pockets of space movement is almost genius level. Extremely similar to a Thomas Mueller in this regard.

He's not a proper 9 to me. I think the premium with Kai would be when we've got a lot more clinical finishers in the Team. Then he gets to roam freely across the attacking third, It'ld really be a blast

Boehly’s consortium has been named as the preferred bidder to buy Chelsea, but If a deal with Boehly is not reached, the two other shortlisted consortiums – as well as Ratcliffe – could yet be invited to enter into talks to buy the club.

I think I may have to agree with whoever said Lukaku may not have been TT's preferred choice.

Just look at how often Lukaku has been played since Abrahamovic got frozen out,

I think it’s pretty clear now especially when you consider how TT kept playing him prior to the crisis despite his silly interview where he only dropped him for just a game as punishment

I am speechless not because of I don't have a counter-response because it's needless at this point. If you watch our encounter with Real Madrid and think Thiago Silva has a role in knocking us out then I need not to waste my energy.

Might cliche EPL too.

But I’m suppose to overlook achievements and focus on Benzema’s goals, same goals classy strikers were scoring for fun?

Lol. Enjoy your Benzema hype, but be honest to admit that Mane deserves Ballon D’or.
U ppl should not 4get that ballon d'or originated from france..or do u think that they will jump & pass there own big benz for african players..remember that we once had blacks that deserved ballon d'or in the past but u knw the koko na.
