bisqit:Lol... Na wetin most people criticizing Firmino don't know. The good thing about this issues is that during Firmino prime, I never see any Liverpool fans (both offline and online) bashing Firmino. On the contrary they all love him and his play, most of the few bashings na from non-liverpool fans whom I believe don't watch ALL or MOST of their matches |

izzou:Rodri did very well there by making that block thus he deserved some praise. But on a flipside, fabinho fvc.ked up by controlling that ball instead of a one time kick into the gaping net. Worst of it all is that he was anticipating the ball and ran towards it, not that the ball mistakenly fell to him. Why then did he decide to control the ball?? It was such a poor decision he made there |

hensben:Lol.. Not only dayo, there were some monikers here who also felt Firmino wasn't doing anything, just salah and mane. Sure, dayo might be the first to bring it up but it's not only him that have such opinion about Firmino |

Jodera: It's not even just the fact that he trapped the ball, he took too long to make the shot after trapping the ball. Still on still, twas an exceptional piece of defending. Block of the season contender. Reminds me of that off the line clearance stones made couple of seasons ago, ironically against same Liverpool. Arguably the moment which decided the title race. Let's see if this one by Rodri will prove to be equally as decisive. |

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by izzou(m): 1:47pm On Oct 05, 2021 |
Jodera: Watch the video again sir. Fabinho was struggling with a City player before the ball landed on his feet. It would take a very good striker to even think of playing it once. Nobody anticipated that Rodri would show up. Like Morata said, all these happened in less than a second. Also, the angle was pretty tight to just any player to try a shot. The block was super class. Many players would take that decision he did. I don't think his decision was poor. It was the block that was way out of this world. That picture doesn't tell the story 3 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Jodera: 2:02pm On Oct 05, 2021 |
BlueMann:Actually, I didn't think he wasted time in playing that ball after he controlled it, I feel he was fast enough. The big credit goes to Rodri for perhaps reading his thought that he'll trap it and immediately went for the sliding block before he could play it. Like you said, it was an exceptional block for a season contender, and the worst of all these is that when such a thing happens in favor of Man city against Liverpool, it always count favorably at the end of the season for Man city(in the title race). From that stones block to the Sané winner against Liverpool. Like you say, let's see if this will count against Liverpool too |

raumdeuter:Wonders shall never cease. The Chelsea you wanted to call a defensive side last season now plays high line? |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Jodera: 2:15pm On Oct 05, 2021 |
izzou:I'm not even referencing it with the picture morata brought sef cos I've watched the clip countless times between ystdy and Sunday. I feel since he made that run, evaded the city player cleanly that was marking him and reaching the ball without any one disturbing him, I felt he should have just slot it once. The only reason I might understand his decision taken is that he's not a striker (or an attacker) thus he's not expected to have such scoring instincts in such situation. 2ndly also is because not having that scoring instincts made him go for the right leg(in order to control since it's his stronger foot) instead of his left leg which is better placed to play the ball once into the net. Any striker or forward (even if it's an average one) that misses such an opportunity deserves a stick from fans and critics alike cos that's a clean goal for professional basic forwards |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by BlueMann: 2:16pm On Oct 05, 2021 |
Jodera: Hmmm...be like I go watch am again, cos I remember at that moment, I felt Fabinho took too long to shoot after trapping the ball. And yes, I pray the block proves decisive... ...in deciding who finishes second below Chelsea. 10 Likes

hensben: You know nothing. Many Liverpool fans were even excited when news were linking them to Werner thinking he will replace Firmino This is a link from May this year about fans fuming about Firmino. Maybe na ramdeter dey write those posts https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/football/completely-lost-hes-finished-many-lfc-fans-slam-useless-man-who-lost-possession-15x/ar-BB1eh71f Jodera: When you start seeing plenty shalaye to defend the output of an attacker know that he is useless. Klopp will be defending him in public, How many times do you see Klop defending Salah? Below is another post dated October 2020 where they said slump continues, meaning he has been terrible for months before that

raumdeuter: You really have enough time on your hands Firminho is so good that Jota came and started seeing shirt in his first season. If it was another striker, we won't hear the last of how terrible he is. But because Salah and Mane's numbers are good, Firminho becomes the link. 1 Like |

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Jodera: 6:19pm On Oct 05, 2021 |
raumdeuter:Lol... I told you his slump started post-covid (immediately after the resumption of covid football)and all what you're bringing is covid restart news. In fact the 2nd picture stated reigning champions meaning it even buttresses my point that he's been subpar before then Show me where fans blast firmino from jan 2020 and before then cos you're just clutching at straws here |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by AnfieldFan: 6:20pm On Oct 05, 2021 |
Jodera: That ball needed to be controlled...It came in fast,he controlled with the outside of his foot, I would say he needed to scoop the ball a bit... But he did well by controlling... |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by raumdeuter: 6:30pm On Oct 05, 2021 |
izzou: When you have someone doing the work you can claim to be link. Link ko cufflinks ni. Assuming Jota no come now they will be explainig how Firminos presence was why Salah was able to scatter City defence and score |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Jodera: 6:31pm On Oct 05, 2021 |
izzou:Firmino is not guilty of losing glit-edge chances frequently, he has perfect understanding with the duo and he scores important goals. Most other strikers who were dragged is because they're guilty of such example Werner and giroud. Arsenal fans drag giroud for such, Chelsea fans drag Werner for such too, but you hardly see Liverpool fans Like I said earlier, you just wan drag am and nothing more. After all no be here Abraham they score 15goal(and plus ) a season yet Chelsea fans dey claim he's not good enough but prefer havertz as 9. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by raumdeuter: 6:31pm On Oct 05, 2021 |
Jodera: The 2nd image was October last year around the time season just started and they were already pointing to "slump continues" |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Jodera: 6:32pm On Oct 05, 2021 |
AnfieldFan:Alright, if you say so. I guess we have different understanding on it which isn't bad |
