Dude is fond of hating on people for something they have no control over. It's obvious that shorter Goalies concede long range shots and fail to claim corners, the question is, how will Kepa suddenly improve his height at the age of 28?

Kepa was benched for a long time, he was patient and worked hard. When long arm Mendy started drinking goals like kunu with high profile mistakes in high stake matches, Kepa reclaimed his place. Now, even the blind can see that Kepa has improved his reflexes to a significant extent.

He has pointed out Kepa, Jorginho and Felix as our fundamental weakness just because of their physique. These 3 will leave and our problem will still be here and the fools who support everything he says will wait for him to Identify another fundamental weakness in our team.

While Kepa might not be world class, I fail to see how he is the cause of our terrible form which is magnified by that bloody scammer Lampfraud who has come again to steal a living off us!.
Bro, that's the thing. No one has ever said Kepa is world class. But one person that can't see past past mistakes is yarning nonsense.
We were here when Mendy came on and he was doing well and we praised him. All of a sudden he started having brain farts. I am pretty sure the length of his arm or hand did not decrease. So what happened?

If one is going to criticise a keeper it should be for other reasons but not cause of the length of his arm - that is not going to change - not now!

You have a coach who doesn't know is left from right, doesn't even understand the basics as coach, yet I am supporting him because I want the club to do well. If he succeeds, the club succeeds, it's that simple.

We are still in the UCL and we have to score goals. That is the only way forward. Hope still dey.

Our focus should be scoring goals. You can't win a match without scoring more than your opponent.
This is what football is about.


My point exactly.

There is no difference for us between 10th and 15th in terms of attracting players

Emery has been at Villa since October

Today is April 15th, season ends on May 28th

It was Lampard or Bruno Saltor because their main target Nagelsmann wants a break. Managers don't usually get sacked one week and take a job the next week, they try to have a break first, and Bruno Saltor is seeking his exit

And let me tell you this, Lampard may not be elite, but he is not useless. When Lampard was leading Chelsea to top4, Unai Emery was being sacked at Arsenal

When Lampard was at Chelsea, Arteta was never once ahead of him in the league. Even on the day Lampard was sacked, Arteta was behind us in the league table

We have a demotivated squad mad at Boehly for oversigning players and rendering most of them obsolete from one week to the next. Let them take out their frustration on the interim and let the new manager start afresh. What do you think the likes of Sterling, Pulisic, Madueke, ChukwuEmeka and co are saying to their agents right now. Mudryk has barely walked through the door and Felix has taken his place. Aubameyang, Madueke and ChukwuEmeka have never even put their foot in the door and been rendered obsolete. Is that who you want to motivate to end the season, they may crash a new manager before he even starts.

So take a chill pill, write off the season and don't trouble me when I point out Kepas continued drinking of long range shots which has been happening since 2018.

Good points raised, bros.

He must have run out of Courtois examples after Kepa set him another challenge yesterday

I no mention anyone, I talk about my Chelsea and what I want to see change, whether it's Kepa, Felix, Cucurella, Koulibaly or whoever

Egbon, if my criticism of Kepa pain you, go and enlist in Ukraine

You'll need to control the game first. Unless you want to play counter football


For Chelsea at this point,the bolded is secondary,we have been controlling games in the past before Lampard and still failed to score,we just have to find a way to score even without controlling games or counter and it's possible.

we should analyse kepa objectively not agenda (ly) 😂😂
I feel kepa is a good goal keeper but not a great goal keeper..
every great teams needs a great goalie
kepa has never given us that assurance cech gave us and this somehow affects defenders confidence..
having a short hand is not the cause of him not being a good goalie
kepa is not good enough for Chelsea..
onana is shorter and I rate onana ahead of kepa
We are Chelsea,, we demand world class players who fits into our play..

Mumu, if you sack Lampard today, and rehire him tomorrow I will still celebrate his rehire. I said I will have goodwill toward him even unto relegation. If you like cry me a river, I'm not denying anything.

My own is simple, I will continue to criticize any player I want. You can criticize Lampard if you want but don't expect me to join you in that. Kepa should continue getting beaten by long range shots. I don't see what Lampard has to do with his short arms.

You and your Lampard can go to hell. He is done and dusted as far a coaching is concerned. The only opportunity to redeem his career, he is seriously bottling it. Soon he will be managing championship clubs or In MLS

There is an agenda from leprous fingers who were sold a dummy about Havertz and hated Lampard from day one for not playing Havertz as no10. Till today we haven't seen the Havertz as no10.

One of the clowns who backed Potter till the end already started calling for Lampard head after the first game.

Clowns, I will keep hammering on Kepa. If it pain una, cry river

I didn't blame him as the cause of our poor display yesterday

I think and speak long term about what Chelsea needs to do, and use incidents in matches as examples. Yesterday was just another example of why Kepa is inadequate

If you can't control your emotions and see all my comments as linked to the immediate game infront of your eyes, I can't help you.

I am here enjoying life, made one comment on Kepa conceding another long range shot and clowns will be bringing Ibime into their emotions about the game. Game I didn't even watch, was enjoying a meal on the River Rhine in Basel and I heard Tyrannosaurus Kepa let another long range shot in, then confirmed it later in highlights. As e dey pain una, I go dey pepper am. That's 6 long range shots in 6 weeks for Tyrannosaurus Kepa.

Nobody mentioned you but nah guilty conscience and hate dey worry you. Continue.

Focus on the major issue within the team - lack of goals or pattern.

Game wey you no watch, you dey complain.

When I said you lack basic understanding on this game, I wasn't joking. Keep using stats and data like Boli.

Quotes from Lampard after the game :

“All the basic parts of football - to fight, to run - we were short on”

“For me it’s all about the basics”

“Our fans will be watching a team on Wednesday that will be giving everything”

“Conor Gallagher was another one who gave every drop individually”

“In the basics of football, Brighton are a really good team, but we were shot in tackles, fight and yards. If it isn't right you don't win”

See the bolded and see who we've been told is a solid depth

See how a football coach in the modern day thinks football should be played.

Just love the way reality keeps showing him his actual level

Again, we are all on the same page here. No one, no one will say Kepa is the greatest keeper ever and definitely he ain't no Cech.

But person no watch game but kept hammering on a single issue which will not change abi height na talent?

The issue will stop when he stops dragging Kepa for no reason. If he doesn't stop, I will not stop. This one, I dey ready wella.

I believe the argument should be about kepa being the right man at goal for us and not about his arms
I feel you and ibeme has the same opinion as wether if kepa is the right one.
kepa having short arms is just shalaye
kepa is simply not good enough for Chelsea and it's glaring
we need an upgrade in that department

The aim of any football match is to win, how you do it is up to you.

You are not going to control the game for the sake of it.

The goal remains the same - score goals!
Good luck with playing rubbish and looking for a lucky goal. Just maybe it will sound better if you loose 4-2 because you scored 2 goals

If you have a keeper that long range shots can beat easily, the lack of confidence will permeate through the team.

We haven't found solution to our goalscoring problems, our keeper hasn't improved yet in saving shots from outside of the box. Na trailer we go dey park be that which will even worsen our scoring problems as more bodies will be needed to cover the keeper's weakness. Insane.

Of what use is Lampard's apointment if he can't win just a match in any of the games he'll manage for us?

I don't see how Lampard's Chelsea can defeat or get a draw against any of the remaining teams we're playing this season in CL and EPL.

He actually has no business in coaching.
They should have even allowed one senior player, like Thiago and Azpin too coach till end of the season. Instead of wasting 2m on lampard.

I am referring to those that have never played football 11 a side before even though in their minds they have.

I am referring to those with ego size of epiphytic orchids. They think they have ego but they don't.

Chelsea player ratings

GK: Kepa Arrizabalaga - 8/10 - The only reason Chelsea weren't four or five goals behind in the first half and ten or eleven by the final whistle. Excellent.

RB: Trevoh Chalobah - 3/10 - Ruined by Mitoma on a number of occasions apart from one excellent challenge midway through the first half.

CB: Wesley Fofana - 6/10 - Chelsea's best defender for the most part but did not cover himself in glory for the equaliser.

CB: Benoit Badiashile - 3/10 - A poor clearance for the equaliser but hadn't really inspired a lot of confidence before or after then anyway.

LB: Ben Chilwell - 3/10 - Seen arguing with Mudryk over positioning. Nowhere near his best at either end of the pitch.

DM: Enzo Fernandez - 5/10 - Chelsea's main creative outlet in midfield had a tough battle up against Caicedo. Usually came off second-best.

CM: Denis Zakaria - 3/10 - Offered nothing in the midfield battle and left Chelsea hanging on at the back at times.

CM: Conor Gallagher - 5/10 - Scored a scrappy goal and put himself about without ever really offering anything of real quality, and yet was probably still Chelsea's best attacker.

RW: Christian Pulisic - 2/10 - Largely uninvolved.

ST: Raheem Sterling - 2/10 - Didn't offer much but wasn't helped by Chelsea's determination to fire crosses in towards him.

LW: Mykhailo Mudryk - 5/10 - A fast start which yielded the assist for Gallagher's opener but faded as the game went on.

Substitutes

Mateo Kovacic (56' for Fernandez) - 4/10 - Didn't offer the sort of control asked of him.

Hakim Ziyech (56' for Pulisic) - 5/10 - Fairly uninspiring.

Reece James (56' for Fofana) - 5/10 - Not his usual self yet again but his introduction did at least coincide with a drop-off from Mitoma.

Joao Felix (56' for Sterling) - 5/10 - Rarely involved.

Mason Mount (74' for Zakaria) - 5/10 - A challenging cameo.

Manager

Frank Lampard - 3/10 - Prioritising the Real Madrid game is about the only thing Lampard got right here. Had absolutely no answer to anything Brighton were doing but kept his heavy hitters healthy for the game that really matters.
You see that Gallagher? Him leg go touch the whole grass wey dey the pitch. But no result. He is always in haste to play rubbish.
