Na joke I dey obviously...

But bimffo hear this:

So I'm quite surprised that you are complaining that we didn't create any chances.

Matic has already explained that when he's on the pitch, both him and Kante are almost exclusively there to defend. What I dont understand is what Conte was expecting offensively, when even Oscar is talking about wanting to defend and tackle, then you know why we are on a long thing.

The tactics are faulty. Remove Matic, Play Oscar, Play Fabregas.

Maybe the Tactics are faulty because there are no real personnel to execute the tactics. Your combination of Kante - Oscar - Fabregas maybe too offensive and the work load will be too much for Kante.

The 3rd goal on Saturday for Example. Everyone was out of position except Kante and he got turned like hot amala. Even the 2nd goal. Kante was coming to help Fabregas after Fabregas had become "Aja Arin." And Kante slipped again.

You remember our game against Real Madrid during Pre season, Oscar partnered Kante/Matic (Can't remember), and some of us complained here that why would Oscar patner a 4, but it was pre season, so no problem.

So the question now is in a 4-3-3 formation, won't Oscar sleep off and füück Kante up when we are caught on the counter.?

Fabregas = Creator.
Oscar = Runner.
Kante = Destroyer..

Why can't we think of.?

Fab = Creator.
Kante = Runner.
Luiz = Destroyer.

And we can even draft Chalobah, if he continues to impress.

I don't trust Matic and I don't trust Oscar..

bigkesh:
4-4-2
Azpi- Terry -Luiz -Alonso
Chalobah- Kante
Moses- Michy- Costa- Hazard
Lock the shop all the way till January......Moses and Hazard on the counter
Hazard doesn't give Full backs headache again,since he likes drifting to the middle he should be moved to the right and Let Moses' pace and directness really help on the left
Michy and Costa with the goals,Michy just needs to finish better
Chalobah,Alonso and hopefully Zouma will go a long way in improving the defence
And to think Lewis Baker would have easily solved our midfield problems....more defensive than fabregas and contributes way more with the ball than Oscar and Matic
This is our best team.....Nothing less

Locking up shop, that 11 will work. Offensively, apart from counter-attacking system, that is disaster waiting to happen.

The only thing I blame Conte for is sticking with this 4-3-3. If he's going to fail, I will prefer he does so, doing what he knows how to do. I think we should be inventive and risk a 3-5-2 instead.

Zouma Terry Azpili/Luiz
Kante Chalobah
Moses Fab Hazard
Mitchy Costa

Batshuayi and Costa patnership for 90 minutes will be cool. They gonna give any defence a lot of problems..

One of the several times, you would appreciate Ancelotti's time at Chelsea.

4 - Diamond - 2.

Happy Birthday to Ballack..

Within 6 Years, we went from Ballack - Lampard patnership to Matic - Oscar Partnership.

Hmmm. How time flies.

Luiz as DM makes sense. He's fast, he's got good technique and can pass/drive the ball from deep.

When Terry and Zouma come back, this your configuration could be a good combo. I still feel Oscar offers a good mix of offensive and defensive skills, especially when compared to defensive specialists like Kante and Matic....but yeah that Combo sounds good.

Damnnnnnn....

Where has the fvcking time gone?

lalaboi:


Bigkesh Big Keshi
Commander of all things youth.
Mr. Our youth will finish top 10 in EPL
You have now joined 442 gang.
Lewis baker is now suddenly midfield saviour. .

Issokay. . . issokay. . . . isssokay

Let me assume you are serious
M only saying Baker is better than the useless Oscar and Matic and even though he is not close to fabregas he is way better defensively

If you recall correctly I have always been part of the 4-4-2 gang....I think I had a discussion with Griffon why 4-4-2 suits us better

And yes our youth is better than the rubbish we have in the first team

There is a difference between Lampard-Ballack-Essien-Mikel diamond and Hazard-Fabregas-Kante-Moses diamond

Diamond don't usually fit wingers

I remember Carlo even had to change to 4-3-3
Lamp-Ballack-Essien
Anelka-Drogba-Malouda

I remember the Second leg against PSG and the game at Etihad,Both times Luis looked like the best DM ever.....But Zouma won't come back and just return to being Zouma,Playing Luiz has a DM in front of Cahil makes no sense when you could just Bench Cahill and fit in Chalobah
If we have a confirm defence no reason not to play him as a DM

I am not suggesting we play 4 -Diamond -2 with this set of players o.. We can't even try it with Kante, Oscar, Matic and Fabregas.

I was just remembering how we played then. And Yes The diamond formation don't accomodate Wing players.

bigkesh:

Thank you very much. In the 3-5-2 formation, are we making use of a Wing back? If Yes, can Hazard play at that position.

Bimffo:
Hmmmm.. Its not about the Best player. Its about who is getting the Job done.

WTF!!! The person that sanctioned the sale of De bruyne should be given a reserved spot in Hell after Death.

De bruyne got 39 assist since we bought Willian.

Na KDB and Salah pain me pass....

When I said Willian is a useless somebody and should be sold months back they all came at me...
How can a human being have 11A in 101apps This is a guy who took over 60% of our set pieces over that period
Willian has 2 great chances to pull one back when it was 2-0 but the guy better than musonda and Moses threw it all away

I don't just understand

Barca replaced Abidal,Alaves,Messi,Xavi,Eto and henry nicely
Bayern got another Robbery in Coman and Douglas

We can't even replace Kalou

Emenalo was appointed in 2010,that was the last time we had a good squad

Emenalo was born in Aba na. The guy is Aba made, I swear.

Ordinary Kalou, we can't replace.

Why did we buy Willian in the 1st place?

Bimffo:


Emenalo was born in Aba na. The guy is Aba made, I swear.

I dont know if you know that Jose reportedly convinced Abramovich directly to call the owner of Anzhi directly on deadline day to hijack Willians move to spurs.

Or if you knlw that Jose tried to sign Willian for Manyoo this summer.

When all fails, you need to blame Emenalo for signing a player you don't like.

Im with you all the way bro.

This morning, I was almost run down by an okada in front of my office. I blame Emenalo naturally.

Bimffo:

Ancelloti is a really good coach...

Gone are the days we used to have Belleti,Kalou,Alex,Bertrand and Josh Mcheran (can't even remember the name). .Thats a perfect bench there

Then the same Roman that can't fire Emenalo fired him and we started hiring Scolari and the AVBs and with them came players like Mata,Oscar,Ramirez,Luiz and co

Our XI under Ancelotti ehn.....Defenders that don't actually defend and equally good on the ball,we are talking about Alex,Terry,Cole,Belleti
Midfielder that do their jobs effectively, no ninnies, no useless dribbles, no show offs..... Tackles,pass,mark and score,No time
And forwards that don't waste time,either cross or shoot...

We didn't played tiki taka and we didn't have players with very very good techniques but we score A LOT... The whole team na goals,The Belleti probably has more goals than Willian in less apps

Ball is about goals jare...Right now if the chance doesn't fall to Costa then we are screwed, back then na only Cole no fit score, the chance can fall to anybody else and I wouldn't care

Ballack and Lampard were the best in their style just like Xavi and Iniesta were the best in theirs,We held them for 180 mins with malouda and Anelka on the wings when Barca had Messi and Henry

Roman should better pack his money and spend,I need that midfield again...apart from Hamsik,KDB,Nainggolan and koke,I can't think of those kinda CMs in football right now

lalaboi:
Kante is just 1 person and he wasnt the only one hwo had a bad game.. Infact, all the goals could have been avoided.

How about mentioning that Hazard was supposed to track bellerin for the goal and it is not the first time he has let that kind of thing happen.

Cahill? Dont even get me started.

Cahill and Luiz pairing for the 3rd goal?.

It just annoys me to see peeps like Dayo troll us when some people mentioned Cahill in the same bracket as Boateng, it makes Dayo seem like a semi god.

Shey I no be god? Una suppose erect temple dey worship me.

Lol. Don't get me wrong. Emenalo didn't sign Willian. Every one knows that. Jose signed Willy and Eto'o. But most players, Emenalo signs them for Us.

Example is with Papy Djiboloji and Baba Rahman. Mourinho said He trusts the people that signed them. Who are the people

And about the okada, be careful next time. and Yes we have to blame Emenalo. Sign correct player, E no go sign. How would your mind be in one place.?

When mourinho said he had made made average players look world class and win the EPL.. We thought he was boisterously arrogant. But when you look at this squad you begin to think? How exactly did Ivanovic, matic, cahill, obi, willan and Oscar win the league?? These are all average players.

Of course he cannot be absolved of the failure but on Saturday there was something I missed.. Mourinhos appearance alone on the dugout had this mental psychological block on the arsenal players. A mourinhos team will never lose 3-0 to any team bar 1.

Ranieiri carried Leicester with mostly division 2 quality players to the league less than 5months ago

Mourinho team 10 days ago lost 3-1 to Watford, Dortmund 4 Madrid 1 These are just random ones wey come my head

Greatihex:
how many times does. Messi track back in Barcelona, how many times does neymar track back, yet they keep winning. Why don't we study their style and trying something close. We are too defensive for goodness sake.

If you are playing a very weak team they can afford not to track back but when playing top opposition
Let me ask if Hazard is attacking does he expect the full back to overlap and come to help him?

Below is Bayern vs Barcelona, Thats Ribery in Bayern box helping the full back Alaba and dribbling Messi on the way to a team goal

Bimffo:

Like this guy abi?



When it all goes titts up, blame Emenalo.

Example is with Papy Djiboloji and Baba Rahman. Mourinho said He trusts the people that signed them. Who are the people

Papy did not play for us. Rahman barely played. Neither is at the club today. Most people will agree that Matic, Cahill and Ivanovic at the very least, are currently our worst players.

Of course, Emenalo still has to be brought into the discussion because, hey! It's Emenalo.

Let me help you complete this part. David Luiz is crap defensively, and Alonso can't seem to make the team - Blame Emenalo.

And about the okada, be careful next time. grin and Yes we have to blame Emenalo. Sign correct player, E no go sign. How would your mind be in one place.?

I'm sure it was Emenalo driving the Okada. When I said 'I blame Emenalo' earlier, you asked me if I was joking...why you dey ask na?

Bimffo:

The mistake happened when we played PSG 2 seasons ago when Cahill panicked and went ahead to mark Terry. (The picture is in Dayo's archive ) Rumdeuter, gimme that picture.

Last season against PSG, it happened with Cahill again.

Lol. I don't want to go into this argument with you. You and Daddy Ibime have had this argument countless of times. I even lost count sef.

You said Papy and Baba never played, so why were they bought in the 1st place.? Last season was our worst season in like 20 Years and both of them never broke into the team.

We bought these guys for back up. If the regular players like Cahill, Matic füücks up, we would have them to count on.. (See Barca's business this last summer) Swift and cool.


On that Chelsea's board, Emenalo is technically the only one with football idea. No purchase or sale is done without him knowing. So why wouldn't I blame him.?

One of the reason he and Mourinho always had issues. Mourinho knew the team needed to be fortified last season, but see the kind of players that were gotten for him. Apart from Pedro, others were mediocre players.!

Where is Miagza, Baba, Luis, Papy, Falcao, Pato, Kennedy, Micheal Hector? Where are these lots?

But I know you, you won't still agree with me.

PS: Pep said we needed like 10 new players but we handed Ivanovic, Cahill and Co. new contracts. Who did that? Abramovic? Or you think Emenalo won't know about it?

That is Terry marking Cahill actually. Not the other way round...lol

But Terry's eye is at the ball so he didn't know it was Cahill. He thought is was Thiago Silva.

But Cahill, being a useless player he is, is facing his goal. Who does that?? Only useless defenders! lol.

The point I'm trying to make is that Emenalo cannot be held responsible because he does not make any decisions. He doesn't cut the cheque.

Abi you want to blame him for recommending players?

How many other clubs do you know where like 4 different people are pictured with the player signing the contracts?

Where this argument died the last time was when Ibime and Griffon both agreed that Marina Gravanoskaia is the one that negotiates the deals with the selling clubs - yet neither one of them was able identify how Marina determines a players worth. I mean, it's not like there's an argos catalogue for footballers where a picture of each player is listed next to their prices in neat columns.

If Emenalo is not the one who cuts the cheque, then he surely cannot push for any player...he can only suggest.

This is from the Guardian last year.

Chelsea boast an extensive network of scouts, at home and abroad, but first-team recruitment still relies heavily on input from the manager, José Mourinho, and the technical director, Michael Emenalo. They will target positions that need strengthening in the first-team and identify potential recruits, and then liaise with each other to compile a list of names to be submitted to the hierarchy.

The owner, Roman Abramovich, has the ultimate say as to which targets are pursued and, while there may on occasion be direct contact between management staff and the oligarch, the discussions tend to go through the multilingual director, Marina Granovskaia, who is an increasingly influential figure at Stamford Bridge.

She is essentially responsible for negotiating all transfers in and out of the club these days, as well as player and management contract negotiations and re-negotiations. The Russian-born Canadian national, whose role as a senior advisor to Abramovich pre-dates the oligarch’s arrival in English football, speaks with rival clubs and with agents to see the transfers signed off.

Only one club we have Emenalo signing, Jose signing, Conte signing, Marina signing, Piet de Visser signing, etc.
