WhoDeyHause: Neither here nor there. He was part of the defence that was underperforming. If Nkunku was fit this season the attack would have been better as well. Note, I am not saying the attack is okay o, but there is no way a historically bad defence does not have a large chunk of the blame. 1 Like |

afrodoc2: Manchester united conceded 57 goals 2 seasons ago and finished 6th. If we had just beaten Sheffield, Nottingham and Burnley..even with the 57 goals conceded, we would be 6th with a game in hand over United in 7th. We would be 6 points away from Villa would be playing us next, and we'd have a decent chance at cracking top 4....even after conceding 57 goals. What I'm pissed off about isn't even about the 5-0 at Arsenal. It's the 1-0 defeat to Forest. The 0-0 against Bournemouth. The draws against Burnley and Sheffield. It's not like we were playing prime Barcelona. We played 3 games against 17th, 19th, and 20th and only took 2 points. That's diabolical. 4 Likes |

nihilistjnr: You even went to Manchester United and they only finished 5th. Let’s stay with the same Chelsea. Chelsea scored 58 goals 3 seasons ago and finished 4th. Do you know why? Because they conceded only 36 goals. So this “useless” Chelsea attack has already scored 3 more goals than a Top 4 Chelsea side. With 6 games to spare. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Man city and Newcastle conceded 33 goals last season, but what gave Man city the Epl trophy and not Newcastle? Your guess is as good as mine. Haaland and Mbappe are collecting salaries of 3 defenders each in a week, for a reason. Dey play. 5 Likes 1 Share

afrodoc2: Nobody is disputing that a tighter defence is better for winning league. What I have very clearly pointed out is that even as bad as our defence is. If our attack was clinical, we wouldn't be in this mess. Make no mistake, the only reason I even joined the attack vs defence conversation is because the people that were claiming attack is OK were failing to realise that our attack is really just Cole Palmer...and half of Cole Palmer's output itself is from set pieces (penalties and corners). Thats why our own manager came out before Arsenal game to say the boys needed to prove that they were not Palmer FC, and promptly lost 5-0 to prove we are Palmer PLC. Without Palmer, the boys don't even know how launch an attack. Don't k kW how to put 3 passes together. Don't know how to break the lines. From a defensive perspective, we know the boys playing at the back are not the first choice ballers. Our first choice fullbacks (including our captain and best player) are injured. Our first choice Goalkeeper has been injured since last year. Our 75 million pound Cb (Fofana) has been injured since last year. The 50 million DM(Lavia) we signed this season has been injured since last year. Badiashile was the understudy to Levi Colwill until he got injured. we already know that the defensive problem is temporary, because most of those bums are our bench fodder anyway. Squad players at best. The problem with this useless attack, is that these bums are our 1st choice attackers (with the exception of Nkunku who's also injured. That bomboclaat Jackson is our 1st choice striker. The ediots Mudryk/Sterling are battling for 1st choice at LW. Attack vs defence originally came from the argument over which area to prioritise strengthening - a second string defensive line who are only seeing shirt due to injuries to key players, or a hopeless 1st choice attack who are being carried by a 21 year old seemingly penalty merchant in his debut season. A capable attacking force would have mitigated the impact of the injury crisis by doing the Lords work in front of goal, especially against the utterly useless relegation dross we've failed to beat or even manage to score against this season. Samchez, James, Colwill, Chilwell and Lavia will all return and no doubt improve that defence....and then what the absolute fück are we going to do with Jackson? 11 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by afrodoc2: 7:38pm On Apr 25 |
nihilistjnr: Very good points. I accept some of those mitigating factors. However No be your GK person just call Gbanchez abi, wetin? 😀 The other one is that your captain. I am sorry to say, I saw him on Medical school campus just last week. Na doctor una get not captain. Then your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice LBs are all otu oshi. Nothing good can come out of that Israel. I accept Colwill and Lavia. Those 2 will make a big difference. The truth is that even purely on eye test, that defence is as bad as the attack. Na just tomahtoes and tomaytoes. Using statistics though, everything points to the defence being worse, and IMO it needs as much work as the attack if not more. If you guys swap only Jackson for a proper CF whose destiny is not under the care of village people, your attack will elevate to a whole new level. Jackson personally has aborted at least 10 league goals this season. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by nihilistjnr: 7:47pm On Apr 25 |
afrodoc2:Colwill, James, and Chilly + Sanchez + Lavia is an entirely new defence. There is literally no replacement in the current squad for Jackson, Mudryk, and as we saw Palmer. We have nothing to offer there. So when you say 57 goals conceded is historically bad, I agree..but I will also remind you that 57 goals is not necessarily bad enough for us to be languishing in 9th place - like I said, you guys conceded 57 2 years ago and still went to Europe. Newcastle with 54 conceded are still very comfortably ahead of us right now. West Ham with 63 conceded are still somehow ahead of us. If we swapped ONLY Jackson for a competent striker, even with this shïtty defence, we would still be a lot better off this season. Games that we have failed to score this season Chelsea 0 Forest 1 Bournemouth 0 Chelsea 0 Chelsea 0 Villa 1 Chelsea 0 Brentford 2 Let's even assume that none of these teams managed to score, and everything was a 0-0 draw, we would have picked 4 points max from our defenders. But our useless attackers couldn't even put the ball into the net, and so we only picked 1 point from the 12 on offer in these games. Diabolical. 4 Likes |

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by WhoDeyHause: 8:06pm On Apr 25 |
afrodoc2:No one is absolving the defence of blame. Both are bad but why I would always hammer on the attack being more problematic is we waste more chances than chances allowed. If you cannot paste 10 men Burnley and Sheffield wetin no good then what's the use of the players you call attackers? Even tottenham that had 2 red cards that wasted 1-4 we all saw the number of chances missed in that game and also against apari in the second leg when the defence decided to turn up. Just one good CB in the transfer market with the return of Fofana, Colwill and Chalobah might take us back to our strong defensive seasons but unless Jackson, sterling and co suddenly repent and start reducing the burden on palmer we'll still have the same attacking problems of last season when we had harvertz and Felix misfiring two. 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by BlueMann: 8:37pm On Apr 25 |
Big mistake by Valentin Barco, and Foden duly punishes Brighton. As the commentator said, there's a time and a place for fancy passing out from the back, and this wasn't it. Brighton overdid it, they should've gotten the ball far away from their box long before the error. |
