Kante is tired the earlier some of us realize this the better he needs a rest and replacement, Jorginho Pulisic, Barkley, Lukaku and Alonso should all go.
Alonso should remain. Kante is still very good, he just need a robust DM to help when defending.

We all love Kante because of his energy levels and his relentless approach in trying to break up plays. Due to these and coupled with his meek appearance, we easily forgave him for not being creative despite playing as a box to box midfielder. All of us knew the truth — he lacked technique: his passing accuracy , his ball control, his shooting technique, were all average and at least the latter two below average. I couldn't hide my shock when Kante of all people tried that lofted pass in dying minutes of our most important night of the season thus far. A decision which Modric immediately took advantage of to show us his supreme passing ability which is a stark contrast of our very own best midfielder. That surely was intimidating!.

Perhaps another big weakness that we all overlooked was his inability to pay attention to tactics or rather specifically, team structure. I remember succinctly the way Conte used to shout at him for abandoning the press structure. This weakness is what we all know today as "lack of positional awareness". As a young boy, when we all enrolled to a local team nearby, I remember the coach always saying that the first prerequisite to being a midfielder is to always watch your back. Before you receive a ball, look behind you; you are the shield that protects your defence, so try as much as you can not to be caught unaware.

With this said, Kante made a schoolboy error which all but depicts his lack of footballing culture. No player is above criticism no matter how spectacular they might seem to be.

To win another champions league in the next two seasons, we need to get a Declan rice or tchoumaini to make that happen.

And pls don't ever sell Timo fuckkking Werner.
He has his magic.
With quick transition from midfield to attack Werner will do well next season. With Jorginho we romance the ball too much in our own half which allow opponent to regroup. Werner is a counter attack player. Sell lukaku, Jorginho, Christensen and Barkley. Saul should return to his parent club. Sign Tchouameni or Rice(if the price is right), that Benfica striker or nkunku or Dembele, a CB. Pulisic can be a squad player due to his inconsistency and fragile nature or be sold too.

Not surprised by the news. Our entire system, both political and economic are mired in endemic corruption. The only way out is to enact and enforce laws that enable transparency and good system of checks and balances in our institutions.
Let's just get it right in the next election.

We either go with Peter obi, sowore or moghalu or we continue with our retrograde politicians.

I can't still come to term with our elimination. Goddamn it, how do you score 4 goals unreplied at the Santiago bernabue and then crash in the last 10 minutes??
Should tuchel had made his subs earlier?? Should there have been an immediate change of structure after that 3rd goal??
Should the players have focused on delaying play and regaining composure seeing as we had a similar collapse immediately after scoring Brentford??
Soo many questions, yet soo many positives too, Chelsea have definitely placed themselves as one of the very best teams in Europe that people would not like to draw. We are the highest points scoring 3rd place team in the top 5 leagues. We were very weak in previous years, always losing to the likes of PSG, Bayern, Barca etc at the round of 16 but we've now established ourselves as a consistent powerful opponent. While playing good attacking football at it. We have a very talented young squad that will only get better with the coach and more experience gained. Our future looks lit.

Mount, havertz, ziyech, Pulisic. These are top wingers in the game, as good as can be got, they just need more time, consistency and a little fine-tuning to become better version of themselves.
Always being in and out of the team impacts the players rhythm and numbers. We need to work on our midfield. We need a kante and jorginho replacement. These players are now 31 years of age. They can only go downhill from here on out. I don't know about this touchimeni guy, his numbers are very average but the hype is just there. Rice is good, but not 80 million pounds good. 55 million at best. I wish we could also get Rodri from mancity.
I want us to get another intelligent and technical player like jorginho while also getting the brawls of a kante-esque player. We need creativity in that middle, we need midfielders that aid the attackers by also chipping in the occasional goal and assist at least 20G\A like Kross, kdb, Pogba etc.

Let's just do and sort out this ownership problem first.

Bottling a 3-0 lead.. rlc should have been moved to the middle to match camravinga strength..kante was disastrous, at some point baba go run pass ball.they kept breezing past him over again..anybody defending kante because of chip loose balls, can defend this govt because they've had a slice of the pie..
Kantes decline is evident in the team..show me 3-4 games(in a row or not) he has literally dominated this season. Lets not talk about that agbaya pulisic, ogun should hunt him in his dreamz..the game plan was near to-perfect. The better & more experience team won..hoping the lads can build on this & get better.
“Chip loose ball”

Una go just dey coin out phrases to yarn okoto.

Kante’s pass was intercepted. How’s that a terrible mistake?

Was he dispossessed? Was he trying to dribble and then lost the ball? Did he give a back pass to lose it? Did he miss a tackle to lose it? Eas he escorting?

He made a good pass and it was perfectly intercepted. How is that a terrible mistake?

Anyday anytime, I’ll choose Kante’s regression over Jorginho’s peak.

We need to get a combative midfielder next season.

Someone in the mould of kante.
He is getting old and depreciating.

Go all out for Declan Rice or tchoumaini.
Declan rice more preferable.
I don't care how much it costs.

And sign up Tuchel and rudiger on long term contracts.
5 sweet boiz association of leprous fingers will say we don’t. They prefer soft and weak players as our Dm.

I wasn't happy Havertz didn't convert that free header.


Oh, Pulusic should be held down by 4 hefty bouncers and his scrotum shot with a pump action and then stripped of the number 10 jersey undecided

I expected TT subbing on a defensive minded player on for LFC after the 3rd goal to assist James in keeping Vini at bay. Same Vini ended up assisting Benz.

We played well, raised hopes and then dashed everything away in the last 11mins.

Tuchel is a gem and should be kept

I think y'all were deceived by the score line, we were 3nil up. But it was only a goal lead. the players showed character yesterday ,credits to them it wasn't easy going to a top team like Madrid and defeat them in their home .. we lost a goal lead due to errors

I believe in tuchel will do wonders. and it's not a bad season if you consider the sanctions, noise ,injuries and so

He has a long way to go to be rated alongside top managers.

Once Salah and Mane retires, we’ll be here to watch him.
