Yeah, get carried by good players who control and win games, and as soon as they decline and you are asked to actually defend, you claim you have past your peak.

Kroos, Schweinsterger, Muller, Lewa and co were carrying him

At the age of 29, when defenders are supposed to be at their best, with plenty experience and your legs still with you is when you see frauds like Pique and Boateng claiming to be past their peak. In Piques case, he even finished earlier at 27. Rubbish and ingredients.

Why was Vidic out of top level defending by his early 30s? Why was he not playing till 40 like Terry

I don't even know who to give man of the match to


James it is

If you once trolled James because of that pathetic Hakimi, please kindly come forward, take your L and step aside.

Ibime:



He started as a CB and converted to midfield 3 years ago, same as his senior brother. He also played occasionally in midfield in the academy.

He has played his whole professional career as a midfielder at Huddersfield, Ipswich and L'Orient.

I said it during preseason why I think he has the technique for the back 3

Now I see. He is very good with the ball, back three suit him very well. I prefer him to Christensen in that position, his play orchestrate attack too(quality of a midfielder). Very confident and have no fear factor.

Nothing from our Academy is ever good enough

If I remember correctly, our last game with juventus in 2012/2013 we played without a striker and chop 3 - 0 in turin. Anyways,I always trust Tuchel and Silva .

Tuchel is a master abeg....

popizaino:


Those who sabi sabi.

You cannot be a judge in your own case.

Na you go tell us say you sabi

Orisirisi

Those hateful notorious 4 will tell you it’s just hype.

Imagine if James was a German, na GIF for full here.

I might be wrong on this but I think since Tuchel joined, this is the third time 3 academy players have scored at least a goal in a single game.

This isn't over hype but Reeve James be giving me that Dani Alves vibes

Vidic played at the top till 32 and won individual awards till 30.

Unlike Carryalong that claim to have hung boots at 27

James or Silva

nateevs:


He did. I watched him at youth level a few times in midfield.

No wonder. It shows in his play, one of the reason I prefer him to start instead of Christensen.

With the way Chelsea played today, I was just imagining an inform Messi in this team

Correction, nothing English is good enough

hensben:
So madini, Lucio, nesta, Stam we’re slaving when they were still killing it at old age abi. Who good good who be carry along nor dey hard to know.

You mean Stam who retired completely at age 35 after spending his last 2yrs at Ajax, Or Lucio who returned to Brazil by 33,

If you know nothing then shut up

Dani Alves is a small boy to James.

James isn’t getting carried by Messi, Inesta and Xavi.

hensben:
Chalobah good with ball for leg, he must have play midfield role in academy.

Also played a good number of games there for Lorient last season.

He was pretty solid in France, boasting some pretty impressive stats - I think he had the second most interceptions per 90 mins in the whole of the top five leagues.

TT has really done well. I almost feel like we could play Kepa, Bettinelli and Alonso upfront and still manage a win. Make club world cup no go spoil our blues sha.
It would be fun to see Ronaldo against Silva on Sunday.
Reece James man of the match

James closely followed by jogs despite no assists nor goals

hensben:
No wonder. It shows in his play, one of the reason I prefer him to start instead of Christensen.

Good game, but Kante and Chilwell injuries spoilt it sha.

Be like na time to cash in on Kante, thank God we have other midfielders to fill in for him

hensben:

Chalobah better than Christensen??

Nawao!!

33 years is okay. How old is boateng and pique when they became useless.

Ibime:


Vidic played at the top till 32 and won individual awards till 30.

By 32 Vidic already left Man Utd and by 35 retired from football completely. Boateng at 32 was still playing CL finals. Not every player has to blackmail clubs into giving them contract extensions like Terry

BikeMan:
Juventus topping our group was a disrespect. Good way to show them their place. Up next, Old Trafford. #KTBFFH

No,,Stamford bridge... after tonights game,,I'm 100% certain Chelsea are beating manu

Boateng played a CL final in 2020 at 32yrs

Wow! He is a top guy. A midfielder is not hard for me to know, it shows the way we receive ball and possess it.

How many individual honors and recognition?

He wants to build a team no one wants to play against.

Looks like he is getting his wish.

I will definitely be thinking twice before facing this Chelsea if I'm a manager
