For me I am holding my comments until season end, if things aren't improved he would get it from me hard because I feel his decision making has been poor. But I would like to say All parties have credible points and there is no one that is right or wrong. Since there are always factors we don't know.

Emaprince:
abidal was not even bought by pep. Dude was already a very good fullback defensively before pep took charge.

Exactly what I thought too.

Ibime:
I'm supporting Pep for one day only today. He must beat Spurs or get a draw last last please.

.
yes ooo,,,he has to beat spurs,,,cus d way they are going ehn is very dangerous for Chelsea.... any little mistake by Chelsea now could make totham overtake us

Mistake like losing to Liverpool?

pamcode:
Puyol, Abidal, Mascherano were not trained by Pep. Puyol was already featuring for Barca even when Pep was still a player, Mascherano was a DM at Liverpool before he was was bought, Abidal case u dont know much about him but I wont be surprised to Find he learnt his training else where and not under Pep. Ball-playing comes before the tackling ability for for Pep

LOL! Pep is now a trainer?

Or are you saying Mouirinho trained the likes of Terry how to be a footballer? What I wouldn't see on this forum!

The fact is Pep saw these players and loved them regardless of their hard man tackling and decent ball skills! He signed some of them and signed Vidal as well!

Top coaches are supposed to bring in the players they like and create a tactic that can bring out the best in them and make them evolve right or am I getting these wrong here? Smh!

Griffon:


Ogbeni stop shooting yourself on the foot. Conte didn't demand for the best legs to replace JT and Bran. He jettisoned them for an average joe like Moses and an erratic Luiz.

He is still building his success around average players. WTF was Alonso before he came to Chelsea? Pedro was dead and gone until Conte came around.

Be bright nigga.

Erratic Luiz who was one of Chelsea's best player in Chelsea CL win? Smh!

The fact is Luiz is far better than any of these City's defenders!

Let Conte go and revive Terry, Ivanovic, Oscar and co before you talk shite about Pep reviving ageing declined players and shite Stones!

Griffon:


You're obviously clutching at straws right now. Just keep mom if you cant present a better rebuttal than this.

Everyone knows Moses to be a headless pacey chicken yet no manager dared to deploy him as a wing-back? He's been at Westham, Liverpool, Stoke yet no manager considered him good enough for that position. An Italian with little knowledge of the English game comes around and decides not to buy a proven wing-back but to go with a chap who has never had a shot at that position. And you think that isn't managerial brilliance?

It seems like you're in possession of a little knowledge of the English game. Which 'past it' player in Man City won't nail down a place at other PL clubs?

No manager deployed Moses as a wingback because few managers hardly deployed a 352 tactic apart from Van gaal who had no problem deploying Lingard, Januzaj in the wingback roles and they were decent in it. In fact, Lingard looked fantastic in the role until his injury!

It's quite funny when you talk about how City's ageing players should be improving under Pep when your own ageing Terry and Ivanovic are even worse under Conte! LOL!

@bolded, You can say that easily now because conte has improved him by playing to his strength. I believe you were one of the people that said he's a disaster bound to happen. The fact is city defense are not sh1t like you guys are making us to believe just because Pep doesn't train tackle.Okay Who signed Bravo and chased out England number 1 ehn.

hensben:
You are seeing city defense this way now cos Pep doesn't train tackle.

City's defence was one of the worst last season! Is that also Pep's fault? Lmao!
Abegi!

What exactly are you saying? Luiz has always been a solid defender with the occasional brain farts, just like Blind! That doesn't make them poor players! Luiz was still your best defender in your CL triumph!

Now you are comparing him with a City defence that was one of the worst defence last season and what more? It's become a year older!

Chelseafan1, how does this look? Any risk here?

Spy360:

This is crazy!

Mou was the first to go for Stones. Pep came and said he is the best ball playing defender in EPL.

So you sabi ball pass them?

You definitely don't know Klopp! First and foremost, Klopp doesn't rate players who can't head nor has this hard man attributes. Just look at Hummels, Matip, Subotic, Sokratis, Klavan etc, they are all hard men who are not only great in the air but also good in their ground duels, not sissy like Stones! It's a bonus for him if they have good ball playing skills as well.

Secondly, Klopp will never sign a defender for that high fees!

Chelseafan1:


Don't mind them, such ridiculous excuses, what if he wasn't given that 180m to spend on new players? He'll probably be dragging position with Sunderland.

Hello! None of his signings is contributing in that team!

Emaprince:
abidal was not even bought by pep. Dude was already a very good fullback defensively before pep took charge.

I didn't say he signed the players! I stated that Pep used him and Puyol regardless! He also brought in Masherano and Vidal at Bayern.

Spy360:

Yaya that scored a brace on his return from suspension?

Gundogan, the midfield maestro that would teach EPL mf how to play ticki tacka?

You need to read this. Just before the season began...

http://m.bbc.com/sport/football/37040156

Because goals is what define a central midfielder? Smh.

Yaya has no business in the central midfield nowadays except if used as an attacking midfielder! Get that straight.

As for Gundogan, he's never been the same since his 2yrs injury lay off at Dortmund and even now, he's still a crock.

Swansea doing a job on Liverpool right now.

^^

I'm really hoping they see it through.



Yes!!! Llorente!!

Nihilist:
Swansea doing a job on Liverpool right now.

Haha! Welcome to Epl!. Problem is to hold unto it. I wouldn't mind draw.

I'm not so sure they can hold on to the win.
But a draw won't be bad too.

Another one!

Llorente again!! I

Liverpool 0-2 Swansea

Havilah93:

They don't need to.

Swansea

Llorente's auditioning isn't going so bad .

Gbolaga!!!

Look at Olsson there. smh

And I was just about to say that isn't this the same Swansea that Arsenal gave a hiding just a week ago.

And then they show that colour.

chrisley024:
They don't need to.

Well, now they need to.

Swansea yo!

Perhaps they can hold on

@Optajoe

50 - Liverpool are the first PL team score 50 goals this season, while Swansea are the first to concede 50. Ojoro Cancel.

Always knew they wouldn't hold on, Swansea
