I see, they are blaming Lukaku today. Clowns.

You are the clown if you don’t know that lukaku is not made for big team due to the way he plays. Lukaku is a product of poor assessment in today’s football using stat only to judge players. I’ve known Benzema to be a quality striker even while Cr7 was there, I don’t need stat to tell me that.

Omeruo back in the lineup

Jorginho being a Chelsea player is the reason we lost today ...

Very soon, everyone will realize that that bros is a lunatic

Stop hiding behind your shadow. Tell us how Chelsea lost because Jorginho was benched, and do it with your full chest.

Jorginho sat on the bench where he rightly deserves to take lesson notes, and that's what should continue to happen until we get a proper DM.

Maybe you n your co travelers now know better than the manager who won you the CL n SuperCup.

timbros:


Did we win any of this 'two biggest games of the season' when the hiding playmaker is not played?

Did we win the reverse fixtures he played?

You missed the point. For months we have heard how TT is Jorgginghoes biggest fan and three managers in a row have selected him, when there was clear evidence that both Lampard and TT wished to buy new starting DM, and Lampard had dropped him several times.

If you are someone's biggest fan, will you be dropping him for your biggest games?

Anybody can lose away at City, but the fact is he did worse when played at home to City.

Every true Chelsea fan will be pleased to see TT make moves that show Jogginghoe is not trusted. To bring new furniture into your house, you first have to dump the old one. If TT can drop a specialist DM for CMs, that means he's ready to sit on the floor than sit on dirty furniture. As a Chelsea fan, that should fill you with hope for the summer that he forcefully requests a proper DM

Thecassanova:
I hope Ziyech is not allowed on the team bus back

He should trek moreover he's a wizard
He should disappear

But how was Sarr today?

He gets a pass mark from me. I felt he was good in defence.

His long range passing is off though.

swiz123:


You have a poor understanding of tactics and how it works. The missing puzzle Pep couldn't solve was the mobility of those front 3. Sadly, Tuchel solved the problem for Pep with the inclusion of a pregnant buffalo.

If you are truly a Chelsea fan, watch every players movement and spot the purpose they collectively serve.

The only reason why I might agree with you on pressing man city right from their defence is because Laporte is error prone,other that you are only exposing your teams to attack upon attacks most especially with our kind of players who are mostly flat footed. Now this is me I don't fancy what we do without the ball, my obsession is what we do with the ball. Of what use is this pressing when your players get the ball and loses under seconds because of panicking? If Lukaku had chosen to shoot rather than looking for an existing pass to Ziyech, am sure you won't be here talking about pressing from behind. You don't approach every game same way, some games you conserve your men in your own half.

Pep guardiola is my number one manager the way to neutralise him is playing effective long balls, it has worked really well against him if you do not have techncally gifted players.

drisham:


Rest baba

Pep played us three times and he couldn't win

Lukaku is useless signing
C'est fini

I feel a lot is being made about Chelsea beating City 3 times last season that many are ignoring. City had just played Dortmund in the UCL QFs on Wednesday and had to play them again the following week on Tuesday so the manager had to rotate and rest players. He played a heavily rotated team and Chelsea being better rested and better prepared won it. Then, in the league game, City played the second team because it was clear they had won the league and only wanted to rest players for the UCL. In that game, City scored first, got another penalty that had Aguero scored, the game would have been out of reach. Granted, TT adjusted, got an equalizer and 1 or 2 more chances. But so did City and in the 88th min, Zouma fouled Raheem which should have been another penalty and a certain City win. The ref made a huge mistake and Alonso scored the flukiest winner with 20 or so seconds left in the game. That 2-1 score papered over the fact that Chelsea had barely played the City first team. The real and only significant win was in the UCL final where Chelsea played very well on the counter but were helped by Pep choosing to play without a pivot in Rodri or Fernandinho. So Chelsea fans should really stop making noise about winning 3 times against City. They deserved the UCL final but the story of City's superiority over Chelsea cannot be determined from last season at all - especially at the time they played (bar the UCL final).

Segedinho:
My opinion on this game is the mid field was dead....

Kante and kovacic were just too far from each other.
Ziyech and pulisic were too lazy to help out...so there weren't and sync on the midfields.

Havetz would have been worse cos he himself is lazy.

Man city tends to over crowd and wins d ball easily...long ball to pacy players would have done some magic..

we missed in-form mount..........

Also,kova-kante partnership was useless today

No way Havertz would've been worse than Ziyech(especially) and Pulisic...no way.

And Joginho played these matches.

Okay sir.

raumdeuter:


Why did Pep flog your team home and away?

Safe to say Conte disgraced Pep, No?

BlueMann:

Havetz is in the same category with pulisic and ziyech.

I don't know if it is lack of form o..

But havertz presently is worse than ziyech

drisham:


Exactly tuchel should be keeping the fool for cup games


The three matches we've lost the season the idiot was three
Hold up play na 0

Na to dey do interview e sabi

You can’t win anything with that guy. He is not just technically poor, He is also mentally incapable to handle pressure. He should’ve remain with inter Milan where there is no too much publicity and demand.

Exonerate1:


Starting that Niggar in a big game is minus 1

A black man calling another black Nigga.

O ma se..

Leyqute:


Money makes things easier.

When you’ve been spending for as long, much and shrewd as City has you should be shot if you don’t have a competent team by now.

Man United have been spending for long too but I wonder why it is not easier for them.


Funny enough the one who even made difference for pep today wasn't his own signings and his own signing been the most expensive one almost cost them the game so pls no matter how much you repeat this money matter it will make it so.

raumdeuter:


Why did Pep flog your team home and away?

To be fair, Tuchel was 20 minutes away from getting a smash and grab, which was his approach towards the game. If the game was scoreless at the 80-85th minute, I can assure you Tuchel would have pushed for that W.

Kova-kante played well against Liverpool and rightly earned today's call up.


They were rubbish and were responsible for the drab football we played today.

hensben:
How do you expect to win starting him. You did yourself in both legs Tuchel. Play the guys that won man city trice last season you refused.

At least this chance was from his own brilliance of bullying Laporte off the ball to create this talking point. I wish Havertz had a eye for that kind of pass in the first league against Liverpool maybe we would have carried on with that confident going into any big game.

Ibunkun1:


Tuchel didn't set the team up for a confident display. He passed that lack of confidence to the team. I hope he wakes up fast, i know there are mad teams in UCL but if he stays sharp we can still go far

just painful.

Cos I was expecting something better after all the I have learnt talk.

The way they talk avout havetz.....most times i tend to ask myself if it is the havertz i know

Segedinho:

And one of d two big games happens to be the worst game TT ever managed...


Joginho played d final vs this same Man city(when it matters most)and came home with the Trophy.


I think he saw how disjointed the midfield was..


All of a sudden Kante was playing rubbish...no dm readily available to take d ball from him..

Kovacic started losing ball anyhow cos no body close to receive d ball from him..


Both were clueless and not readily available to get d ball from each other.

Both are roamers. You don’t play two roamers and don’t have a based CDM to receive passes. In 433 you need a midfield personnel consisting of a CDM, CM and Amf/CAM while in in 3421 formation CDM and CM/box to box midfield is needed to make the formation effective, contrary to that is bound to fail. This is what pep don’t joke with, he make sure he get the right players to execute his formation, this is why he don’t go to clubs where the board have a say more than him in terms of transfer.

Segedinho:

Kova-kante played well against Liverpool and rightly earned today's call up.

Well, they are runners, not CDM specialists, and they still did better than the specialist did against City at home. If the specialist was halfway capable, we would not have to cøcknyash. By God's grace, by this summer, we will have a competent CDM specialist.

BikeMan:
We need to start signing real wingers again. That Mount is competing and even doing better than these wingers is a shame. Our approach was just as terrible as the reverse fixture and our attackers were just horrible, every single one of them.

We don't need wingers we must use this same players at least they should continue from where they stopped in the Ucl and get us another one. Why change when it is not faulty ?

Exonerate1:


115mil for cup games

If Conte takes him season end, I'm forgiving him for that 17/18 season

The fool couldn't think of pass to Alonso

Improved my foot

Na pure wingers we need. We needed goal na odoi we dey bring in. Good abeg

Thecassanova:

No he has a guarantee first team shirt till his contract finishes

Roland17:

At what point in this game that we watched did it look like Chelsea had a clue about what they were doing?

Ibime:


Well, they are runners, not CDM specialists, and they still did better than the specialist did against City at home. If the specialist was halfway capable, we would not have to cøcknyash. By God's grace, by this summer, we will have a competent CDM specialist.

Lols.


Meaning u didn't watch today's match

rooftops:
..Away from your agenda, there is really no change in our games from last season. How can you be scared of someone you won thrice last season. We are not saying you should possess then, just play good football. Our set of attackers should be the worse I have seen in a long while

Tuchel is not creative, he’s not tactical and adventurous.


He lack new ideas and it’s shameful.
