E be like we won this match on Nairaland

Still 1-0 @ front page

Like play like play Werner has been relegated to the bench. This life

Tuchel on Kante: "He is injured and needed to go out. He missed Arsenal for pain in the ankle but it was nothing serious. In this game, the opponent fell on his ankle and he had the same pain that he had against Arsenal. He couldn't accelerate so we had to take him off."

Sign a DM o, Chelsea

after making Chelsea to waste money on lukaku,,wat does he expect....but I expected him to play against d big teams especially against Liverpool today

BlueAngel444:
Would like to see Chalobah start in the next fixture as a DM

Na wah oh. What happened to Jogginghoe?

Itsrm:
I had my heart in my mouth everytime Jorginho had the ball. Dude almost gave me HBP

Na wa oh. Possession master that can't handle press.

give the day a break he had a bad game, Kante is also injured

BikeMan:
People that rate Jorginho amuse me.

By the way, what a performance from the back line, they drew this for us. Our midfield was basically non-existent and Jorginho had to get Kante injured again. The attack doesn’t trust or know the abilities of Lukaku yet, I will love to see Ziyech play with him. Give him the ball and let him just do his thing.

Na wa oh. We are still asking which aspect of his game improved. Answers on a postcard.

BlueAngel444:

How many break? In the last month of last season, he had 4 bad games in 30 days (Arsenal, West Brom, Villa, Leicester)

My prayer every match is oh Lord, let Jorginho weakness not expose Chelsea to harm today.

he made 4 interception
completed more passes than kante in the midfield
won the highest ground duel

but it's okay
the Selection Bias is galring

Sometimes it felt like he didn't even know what to do with the ball when under pressure so he just held on to it and fell at the slightest touch hoping for the whitsle.

One time the whistle didn't come. Thank God for Rudiger who bailed him out.

BlueAngel444:

it's no more news that Jorginho can't tackle, they should say something else . . . they should eep looing for his mistake , despite losing kante and a man down, he did his bit

My man of the match.

swiz123:


Mount denied Havertz a tap in. He did it in our last match. That boy is barely average

That would have been the second goal and it would have cemented our victory the thing pain me gan no be small, and concerning being average, the boy is workaholic but he plays his ball more from his legs rather from his head.
[80% with legs while the remaining 20% with his head (brain)]

Kante played only the first half and you accuse me of selection bias? How about the 10 good times Jorginho lost the ball?

Sounds like we saw the game together

Kovacic’s first instinct was to always move the ball out of any danger. Jorginho was receiving the ball in dangerous places and wondering what he should do next.

I didn't watch the game but what you described is how I know Jorginho, either hide from the ball under pressure or pass back. That's why I keep asking what improvement people saw that they keep saying he is no longer lean and weak and we should praise him for the improvement.

From the stats Singapore1 posted, the nigga only completed 24 passes in 90 minutes from 29 attempts.

Kovacic was on the pitch for only 45 minutes, all of which we were with 10 men and completed 22 passes from 24 attempts. Jorginho meanwhile was on the pitch for 90 mins, half of which we had 11 men and barely matched that.

Escorting is still there, hiding from the ball under pressure is still there. Who say Jorginho improve just because Chelsea found a way to win with him just marking register in the 11 should fear God.

BikeMan:
Kovacic is like 10 times better than Jorginho.

both of 'em are scraps

MorataFC:
both of 'em are scraps

i'd rather have an injured kovacic than J5

Emaprince:
When the game was 11vs 11...havertz was killing the attack more.

Don't blame mount now that we are short one. All our players can't perform at top level now

Me self don sign am.
He's a biased mofo!
How can Liverpool players walk out the pitch at full time with no yellow card?
Was he blind when Fabinho was kicking our players? Henderson & Matip nko?

NinjaMetahuman:
My man of the match.

If to say na Kepa dey the pitch today, all of us for dey sweat.
But one thing i noticed in Mendy's game is; his appalling play from the back. He is very very poor with goalkick as well.
I can't count the number of times he has fallen from taking goal kicks & playing it into the hands of our opponents.

HewlettPackard:
My deepest appreciation to the backline. Everyone of them put in their heart, special regards to Alonso, his wing was the most bombarded yet he always found a way to go on the offense and be back before Salah got close to the 18yards box.
I'd love to call out some players, but instead I'll just say this, Tuchel better now make the tough decision, and build this team around Havertz.

Great game!

can't wait to watch him for Germany under flick, that one is all about attack, havertz will cook

Our decision making in the final-third of the pitch is horrible and may cost us the title if we don't address the issue quickly. We should have buried Liverpool via fast breaks 30mins into the game but we ended squandering our chances, and we were duly punished for the profligacy in front of goal through Liverpool's equaliser.
Christensen was immense today he made several headed clearance and kept his cool when called upon.
We need to sign a Kante replacement before it becomes too late to do so, his recurring injuries may derail our season if adequate replacement is not found because I don't trust Kovacic over the long haul

.

Mendy is far more composed in his passes and distribution compared to J5

3minssex:


Chelsea are lucky they didn't meet man city. With that red card, they would've collected nothing less than 3 extra goals.

The same Man city wey Tuchel had their number 3x last season?
