Andrey Santos and Angelo Gabriel are on the bench for Strasbourg. Hoping they come on in the second half. |

Jodera: You just confirmed my stand on this issue. We need balance in the team. Whether we could have won 1-0 or 3-1, it's the combination of both attack and defence playing their role on the pitch. If you notice, I intentionally avoid responding to you ever since this attack defence talk started. It's nothing personal, but I had to avoid you because of your analysis on our match against you guys. A match we were leading 2-0 but somehow, our defence decided to gift you guys 2 goals but you looked for a way to twist your analysis and absolved the defence of blame. The bias is so much so glaring that no way I could have engaged you. Nothing I say will ever make sense to you. 2 Likes |

A good attack will mean the opposition commits fewer bodies in attack. This Chelsea defence would concede less if they had Haaland, KDB and Foden in front. If you factor in the economics of scale, you'd first address the issue of attack as far as the current Chelsea team is concerned before talking about defence. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

The same way Sterling and Jackson was missing goals yesterday was exactly the same way Werner, Pulisic and co was missing goals in UCL final. Why are we not discussing those missed chances today? Because the defence was able to close shop and kept City attackers at bay, keeping a clean sheet. If we had kept a clean sheet yesterday, only a few minority will be discussing Sterling and Jackson missed chances. The whole majority of discussion would have been defensive heroics, just as it was in UCL final. Conversely, if City had equalised and won that UCL final, that's when everyone will focus on those missed chances by Werner, Pulisic and Co. If you for a second think that a balanced team is not important in football, you need your head examined. 2 Likes |

timbros:While I agree that a balanced team is what you need but my point is that Chelsea presently needs to upgrade attack over the defence. Let's use ystdy match as example. Individually in defence, petrovic was very good, Gusto played very well, disasi was a beast, colwill tried even though he's the least rated, Chilwell played very very well too. Individually in attack, Jackson was clueless in front of goal, Sterling was clueless also. Out of 3 good chances, he converted only one. Only Palmer tried in creating chances in which Sterling and Jackson contrived to miss 98% of them. It'll be difficult for Chelsea not to concede a goal with the barrage of attacks ystdy reason why I said you defence was very good ystdy. It would have been easier to win 3-1 than to win 1-0 ystdy. The balance is in the attack. Get potent attackers and most goals conceded won't be and even if they concede, it won't matter because the game will still be won. You win games by scoring more and not necessarily by not conceding . That doesn't negate the fact that good defence isn't needed. 2 Likes 1 Share |

patrickmuf: There is no way you will twist this talk that you can argue against a balanced team. Mourinho will disagree with this your theory. And he has the trophies to show as evidence. Tighten your defence first. The attack will get their opportunities. Counter attack, set piece etc.... But first make sure your defence is impenetrable. As a United fan, I'm sure you watched your Europa league triumph against Ajax. The game ended 2-0 abi? On paper, on would say United is the attacking team, after all they won 2-0. But you watched the game. You know how it played out. There are tons of examples where coaches priotise defence first, and was successful. I don't know why you will say '...as far as the current Chelsea team is concerned...' We score goals! We have scored more goals than United this season (haven't checked the table as at right now though) but United is far on top of us in the table. Why? Only one answer, our defence. 1 Like |

Jodera: At bolded... Okay having analysed yesterday's game, can you now use Wolves game as an example too? I'm interested to hear your view on that game considering the fact we are at home, we scored first, we scored more than one goal, Wolves is not a traditional big 6. What went wrong? |

This squad lack a bit confident and spine but the talent is there. They will be consistent in two years time or so. Poch is the right man for the job at the moment due to his calm demeanor in teaching young lads how to be consistent. |

1st pic sterling 2nd pic Jackson The two Otus we're parading as attackers, missing one on one that could have killed this game in the 1st half. Both of them deserve flogging, smh

timbros:That one defence let you guys down. I admitted it that day when I was being called out by kimbe.ast(I think). But this season overall, you've been let down by your attack more compared to defence |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by timbros(m): 1:16pm On Feb 18 |
Jodera: Both have let us down equally. No balance in the team. |

Incognito9:Na sterling own naim shock me pass. He didn't even control the ball and just let it move until Ederson caught it. I wonder how these players confidently come to training the next day as a professional after missing all these big chances back to back weekly |

Jodera: The criticism of defenders here have been evenly spread out. Nobody wey we never criticise here. But in attack, the main culprit have been Jackson. Airmark attacks Sterling at any given opportunity that's why it looks as if the attackers have been criticised more. Trust me, the defenders have been so error prone this season, directly giving away cheap goals all season long. 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by timbros(m): 1:54pm On Feb 18 |
Caicedobets: If Haaland didn't play yesterday, you would have made this same exact statement that Chelsea was lucky Haaland didn't play. What makes you so sure that another day, Haaland would have scored that header and we would lose? Would you have agreed that Haaland will take 9 whole shots and not score? Bro, I don't argue speculations. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Leyqute(m): 1:55pm On Feb 18 |
FBS: Valid points. But based on this season’s precedence no one would make that statement pre-match without having downed like 10 bottles of Alomo. In hindsight it does seem as if una suppose get upper hand. But in the same way, Arsenal would’ve won the league last season- if only … blablabla. I know say na joke you dey joke sha Im hoping the sheer number of matches kills Man City and render them trophyless this season. At least, there’ll be no 15-match winning run this season. |
