Leyqute:
Intense attack vs defense argument incoming.

What is your own take?

afrodoc2:


The prince that was promised. The longer the guy stayed injured the more his legend grew on this thread.

Maybe it's another prince Nkunku that was promised

Dem leave Lukaku go carry Nkunku

Iku dey their eyes true true

Leyqute:


Some of them will resume for maths, first period at school tomorrow morning.

If that game had gone to penalties some of those boys wouldn't be able to take it because it would be past their 7pm curfew

afrodoc2:


Bros this was nearly Liverpool's 3rd team. Those teenagers are the ones they call to occasionally complete senior squad training. Without injuries none of them is smelling the bench apart from maybe Quansah.

Lmao just checked again and you are right

nateevs:


It's still Poch's fault. The reasons why everyone in the team cannot score pre-dates this match.

If you put Haaland in this team, he will become a dud in only a few weeks.

Thank goodness it is becoming clearer to you.

oliverano:





But he said "May" that's uncertainty speech nah. Spare him!

There's no may in this Chelsea team
Na hopeless hopeless just the way we are hoping Nigeria will be good again

How ironic that the Liverpool keeper sun gbalaja to deny Sungbalaja.

Money doesn’t buy you titles, team work does!!!

Klopp’s Liverpool U19 beat the Blues to secure the 2023/24 crown 👑🔴

That Endo did a yeoman’s job today. The guy coordinate pass Akpors.

MF just bottled Carabao Cup against 16 year olds

forgiveness:


Why couldn't Lukaku score for you in Chelsea but scores in other leagues?

Mr man, have you forgotten Poch brought world class players like Kane, Dele into limelight?

This alone defeats your argument Poch is the problem.

I don't care what he did 100 years ago. Everybody cannot be poor at the same time. When it happens, it is a coaching problem.

You can see it clearly. Players standing in the wrong spots, in attack and in defence. Players are constantly missng their pressing triggers. No clear pattern of play, no method of attack and very average in-game management. See Nkunku that was balling before joining us now looks completely lost.

If Poch took over at City, they will immediately fall out of CL spots.

Unlimited22:

Popizaino don give up even before us.

The u-turn shock me sef

Just dey whine am ni.

You get time to dey reply am.

That's like how many straight cup final losses now at Wembley?

airmark:
Popizaino come and carry your Pochettino to Ogbomosho.

I refuse to get associated with that bastard again.

kendrick9:

But we're not talking of his Liverpool time, rather his Bayern days.
He won everything for Bayern and left on a high.
You guys still haven't found a suitable replacement for him which is amongst the reason you're struggling, especially in Europe.

With help. You say it like he won by himself. It took him 7 seasons to win everything

Lmaoo. What is this nigga on about? In Thiago's 7 seasons at Bayern how many times did we make the Final? What is his impact at his new club?

Playing two seasons with Choupo fvckin Moting at striker and hiring a technical numpty like Tucheliban isn't the problem it's side and short pass merchant Thiago that's the reason we struggled

kendrick9:

And Naby Keita was bought for over 50m to be the man and the future of the midfield and failed badly.

Thiago was bought for a specific reason, a player to help a change in style after Wijnaldum exit.

And when on the pitch he has been good, hell he made the Premier league XI in 21/22 season.

He was our best midfielder in the COVID run in when top 4 was clinched

Problem is he can't just stay fit

Thiago's time at Liverpool has been an unmitigated failure. 4 seasons and you can only point to 1 season where he has had any decent performances

popizaino:

iamoyindamola:

Recall that they only do well against big teams. If Liverpool had their full squad, they easily could've won but they came up against their U-21 so there's that!

andrewbaba44:


Thiago Making this premier league xi ahead of rodri is one of the biggest fraud I have ever seen sha

Toh. Thiafraud

Went ghost mode in the Finals as usual

popizaino:



You don't have forgiving spirit.

Timbros, the Livescore addict, should never be forgiven.

How did mudryk make it to become a footballer?
That guy has no idea about basic football. If other players have chances of being redeemed, mudryk doesn't.
Some people are lucky in life o, this mudryk will call himself a footballer?..tueh!!!!

Chai, and those children wey win Chelsea collect Carabao cup get exam to write for school tomorrow oo.

Make Chelsea fans take hEart, naso football be.

Honestly Petrovic is such a quality keeper though

Shot will be flying, you will have your heart in your mouth. Next thing you will just see yellow jersey there without stress. He won't even palm the ball away, he will catch and hold

Thunder fire what Kepa put me through the last few years

Poch is the problem. Goal-scoring comes from confidence. Confidence from consistent performances. Consistent performances from solid foundation and coaching.

You think these guys are going to raise their levels by magic because it is a final?

See as Klopp dey use JAMB students on top JAMB student. Each one goes in knowing exactly what to do tactically, even if they don't have the experience.

What were our own tactics?

I want this new version of natee.v

Mr man, your point is flawed. The same Poch brought Palmer to limelight and he played well today.

Besides, you're also wrong to say the players all played poorly today. Na big fat lie.

Some played well but some of them na average players. Fact.

airmark:




No wahala, until you meet quality opponents and all manners of curses resume.

Man city (home last season and this season), Liverpool (Fa cup and pl), Newcastle (home and away), Are they not quality opponents?

The thing is that if you had to wait for months to say "I told you so" then maybe the person isn't as bad as perceived and there's no shame in that

popizaino:


What is your own take?

A team needs a good attack AND a good defense to win anything.

When Klopp came to Liverpool, he bottled many leads because his defense was terrible. Man bought VVD and they almost instantly started competing for titles.

The same thing might be happening to Chelsea, but in the other way around. The defense, somehow somehow, seems to have improved in recent times. The attack however, seriously needs goal scorers, especially down the middle.

....trust the process. LOL!

Coaching doesn’t determine players’ abilities.

No amount of coaching can turn Bakayoko into Xavi… or Jackson into Henry. If you don’t have it, you don’t have it.

swiz123:


Everything here is laced with propaganda. Ibi.me knows Jorginho is not as bad as he is trying to paint him but fear of being seen to change his mind won't let him acknowledge that Jorginho has reformed and improved his game. He even gave credit to a goal keeper for Jorginho's achievement.

I once criticized Jorginho and Rudiger but changed my mind after seeing massive improvement but these old men here will rather turn agidi endlessly than accept a simple fact. Maybe they are pained cos these two players embarrassed their football knowledge which is even lacking.

This!!!
I mean, Jorginho and Rudiger have been performing especially Rudiger that has been shining since. With the way they were always insulted whether Chelsea win or lose, you'd think they'll never shine in another top club

But Poch isn't known for winning trophies. Where's the expectation coming from
