Bring on Manchester City.

80mins and not a single chance created from the RW/LW for striker. If we like, carry £200m go sign Halaand.

At least you dey see.

Defense dy concedes. Airmark want make we use 100 million buy one striker wey go score 200 goals.

When other supporting cast dy miss 1v1

2 and half years under boehly and I never enjoy this club🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️


What sort of defense is this

Just a win ..wow
We're in for a long ride this season .

BlueAngel444:
What you guys do here is sit down and wait for mistake to post, na why person no supposed dey follow Chelsea come dey narialand join.

U guys have a way of making a bad team looking impossibly worst, later u say I will go offline it's because some of una dey too toxic.

Ahhh shit bad pass




OMG what nonsense

Dis guy again

Den the ye ye name calling, this guy is useless, this guy is horrible

Na people way no dey watch match I dey pity

😂😂

Griffon:


At least you dey see.

I kid you not bro. 92 mins of football, and apart from one failed square pass (where even then Sterling went into a brain jam), our RW and LW did not create a single chance for a striker position. Not one single chance. Zilch, ZERO!

The tactics were spot on. The structure is setup to isolate wingers in 1v1 situations, and I counted at least 20 times where Sterling and Madueke found themselves combined in that situation. The tactics also has at least in every attacking event, a minimum of 5 players arriving in the box.

But not one single time did these two ninjahs make any single chance. I mean, not one single chance to score from. And the problem is that even though this is positional football, both those players don't understand positioning of others around them. They first want to run with the ball, before computing space and positioning of others. This is why you see them running into traffic, time after time after time, despite having 5/10 yards off space only moments before. And this is the fundamental issue we are going to have against low block teams.

It's a serious situation we have. Substitute those two for any unknown, but technically-minded players and they would have created at least 5 scoring chances.

This is a crisis and a serious emergency.

Wetin shiny striker wan do?

Gucciboy:
I can't count how many times Thiago Silva slidded to kick out ball from entering goal post but broda shile choosed to escort Madrid's second goal.

What a Lamborghini defender that boehly brought down to us with his private jet

he should injure himself because of preseason abi

Enzo Fernandez went from trying to replace Jorginho to now replacing Gallagher. Our new assistant captain Enzo Fernandez I hope he does better than Gallagher and Jorginho put together

The actual issue na say board go look all these still go find one south American virgin and/or a Samuel Omorodion to buy.

We've spent over 70m on Datro Fofana, Casadei, Chukwuemeka, Angelo and one other player who at the moment don't have a future here

Meanwhile one top class LW, one top class CB and even one above average goalie and this team is competing again

But we dey pack future prospects.


I sometimes don't blame airmark for his stance. The dude played as a centre forward and he will almost always see everything from that lens.

But the bigger issue is the board and their unwillingness to solve actual problems.

One top CB, one top LW, one top GK

Assuming them leave all these virgins sign Diogo Costa, Rafael Leao (Even as e lazy) and Alessandro Bastoni, with the added players like Enzo, Caicedo, Lavia, Palmer, Nkunku, James, Gusto and this resurgent Cucu, there's no way we won't be competing.

Players like Sterling, Jackson, Colwill, Tosin, Madueke etc will look even better than they are because we're not relying on them for everything.


I Don tire.

I Don give these Americans the benefit of the doubt for two years.

Na siddon dey look mode we dey now.

estevao will cook under this set up, that's his bread and butter, sadly I don't see maresca lasting long.

BlueAngel444:
stop acting like you are blind na, after watching this game and other games u think this is pochs team that creates many chances better wake up

Shut up and go and face your Madrid.

timbros:


Blame ANYTHING than defence.

Maresca instructed Badashile to jog while his keeper is being rounded.

Badiashile will not start any match when we have better defenders in the team.

If the season starts and he starts Badiashile, then Maresca loves mediocrity like you do.

timbros:


An attack that doubled their goal tally of previous season is the major problem.

But a horrendous defence that double their goal conceded from previous season is a minor problem.

Clown.

You wouldn't tell us the addition and influence of Palmer but would be doing illogical comparisons.

Palmer was the difference last season and if we continue giving him wastepipes upfront to serve, he will be frustrated and leave us when we need him most. He won't want to continuously shoulder the burden of wasteful strikers, while the likes of Foden, celebrate silverwares and gets him benched in the national team.

lordfalcao:
Defense dy concedes. Airmark want make we use 100 million buy one striker wey go score 200 goals.

Who starts 2 left footed CBs, especially a
Badiashile, against a top quality side like Madrid?

I remember how you tackled getting VVD and now you want an unreliable Jackson, to continue wasting our big chances next season. Who even asked Chelsea to spend 100m on a striker? Dovbyk and Guirassy are better than Jackson but we must stick to Jackson. You be mumu.

Lavia, Enzo, Palmer and even Jorgensen can give long pass to set a dashing striker up when our wingers are shut down.

We have Palmer who can start ahead of Madueke. I have been asking for a new LWF that can dribble in tight space since God knows when. Sterling should have been sent away even before Preseason but like some here, Chelsea are still looking for water from his stone.

The nonsense policy of not signing over 24/25 years old player, shouldn't have been extended to strikers. By now, one of Guirassy and Dovbyk should have been signed at a decent price,if we don't want to deplete our vault.

I want us to compete with Arsenal and city for Epl and not struggling to make first 6 like Timbros and co only want. We will face more low blocks and we don't have a great dribbler and potent striker. Saddening.

The Agenda you guys run in this place sha. Air.mark clamour for a striker started before maresca's arrival. LW and RW is now looking necessary because of the new coach's set up. A Nkunku LW and Palmer RW is good enough in any other system except maresca's that is 1 v 1 reliant.

We keep arguing about different positions every day here while ignoring the big elephant in the room. With our performance towards the end of last season, it was obvious that an addition of 2 - 3 good established players will propel this team but our board didn't feel so. I repeat Nkunku, Palmer , Enzo, caicedo , James , colwill are good base for any team building, the calibre of players you add to this base next determine what you want or get..

I'm not saying anything but this man has eyes at least

Gucciboy:
When broda shile was good before village people remembered him,injury na bastard

This thing dey pain me reach bone.

It's like he learned nothing from Silva, who was renowned for his action in these type of situations. In fact you don't need to be an expert to know what to do here. Your keeper is out of position but you're strolling in the face of danger. Preseason or not, this scenario is shameful.

Na siddon dey look mode we dey now.

I wish I can like this post 10 times.
I was expecting a game changer being added to our attack this summer. Whether a LW or RW or a ST.
If we get leao , we can play Jackson ST, Nkunku AM and Palmer RW ,
We get Olise, Jackson ST Palmer AM and Nkunku LW,
If we get Osimhen , Jackson LW , Nkunku AM and Palmer RW.

Then Add a CB and Either mamadashivilli or Costa and see if this squad doesn't finish comfortably in top 3.

One thing I learnt from the Wenger years at arsenal is you can't win anything with team full of kids, as good as Wenger was and as talented as his kids were( more talented than our crop) they didn't win anything .

the scenario is shameful abi, till he slides on dry grass and hits the post and goes on 5 months injury before u stop ur nonsense

please name the people Maresca should start in defense make u no too dey split air. Just be clear and write it down and post so that everybody knows

Because if you don't, you had better shut the f up if Badiashile starts as u don't even have the balls to pick

can you see you are confused

Why does a winger have to dribble in tight spaces when you mentioned having players that can play long passes obviously into space, cus who tf would play long pass into tight spaces?

The very characteristics of the said mentioned players isn't it possessed in Samu 😏. Well keep praying for Osimhen to accept the loan offer in the meantime, I don't see how you want a new LWF when Nkunku is there, you have literally £150m spent in one position after changing managers 100 times even Vinicius pro max would flop in such system

swiz123:

the thing is so funny, it's like Badiashile purposefully slowed down to let the ball in 🤣

No mind them

Make dem pray say Palmer no go struggle for Maresca system

All this nonsense 1 v 1 talk like clubs will let dash it regularly or did possession football suddenly turn to wing football. It's not like we see our wingers attempt 10 per game and succeed with 4 or less.
