If Chelsea gains 8 points from the remaining games, and Tottenham gain 12 points, it will be down to goal differential Right now, the Spurs are ahead in GD... |

For those using our game vs Everton as part of why Lukaku shouldn't come to Chelsea next season, I think you need to watch BBC's MOTD and hear Ian Murphy analysis on why Lukaku can't do naught against top teams. No wonder Afrodoc2 said Barkley is just a runner not a CM. 5 Likes 1 Share |

pamcode: There's literally no point arguing these fellas. Koeman plays ultra-defensively against big teams..at least at Everton. That's just a fact. When Everton were playing gung-ho attacking football under Martinez and Lukaku scored against every single member of the top 4, these clowns were staying silent. That's why I refuse to get drawn into the argument again. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Debroslink:I thought it was round of 16? Though I was young then, I think Figo bullied babayaro on that wing. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by nateevs(m): 11:23am On May 02, 2017 |
Nihilist: Not all of them stayed silent. Some have been consistent, based on facts that are very easy to observe. You will expect up to 95% of teams in the PL to line up against Everton thinking they can win. Therefore, no one's going into those games parking 11 men behind the ball. Conversely, you will expect the crudest of tactics against Chelsea. Constant annoying sh1t like man-marking Hazard, 13 men behind the ball etc. Do I see Lukaku constantly playing in a packed opposition back-line, where clever movements, swift one-twos, flicks and tricks are required to unlock these defence lines and score goals? The answer is a flat NO! There is nothing as yet about Lukaku to convince me that he possesses this in his locker. And I cannot for the life of me understand why this is not so clear. Danny Murphy has not considered this in his analysis. And I can understand not every pundit has what it takes to analyse from a big-team perspective. I really wish Lukaku good but please not at Chelsea. Certainly not at £65m. 23-year-old with 144 career goals in the PL. How many 23-year-olds can boast of such record at this age? None! True. However, this is the sort of scenario you see Real & Barcelona going to war over, with agents all over his family members, offering deals to anyone, and flirting with him publically in the press, just to get the new sensation to their grounds. I see none of that happening. Alarm bells! Where are Bayern, PSG, Monaco, United, City, Arsenal, Liverpool..... All those who should be all over this chap who was breaking records at 21? Nowhere near. And the reason is very clear to see. The flaw in Lukaku is greater than the sum of all good he brings to the game. EOS! 13 Likes 1 Share |

^^^^ Drogba!!!!! |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by nateevs(m): 2:10pm On May 02, 2017 |
diggz: 1. I knew this was coming. Oya go and check Drogba's record for league goals and come back. 2. In case you haven't noticed, that Chelsea football style has died. Now we are building play from the back, passing it on the floor more times than we ever did with the JM team. Then it didn't matter because we moved the ball quickly to Drogba, who dropped it down quickly to the likes of Robben, Duff, Lampard, Cole. Our midfield build was not for Samba-esque attacking play, it was for out-defending the opposition. Now we are building from the back and working up the field with vertical passes through the channels. Don't just say Drogba!!. Insert context, please. 3 Likes |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by diggz: 2:24pm On May 02, 2017 |
nateevs: I can't remember top club chasing drogba before we bought him. Drogba was extremely clumsy when he started playing for CFC and wasn't scoring either. Drogba never had that clever movements when he started with us,he couldn't execute one twos successfully,he lacked tricks and couldn't do flicks in tight corners either. I am sure you can remember the arguments you made against a peak drogba few years ago bro. The issue of shape keeping and all that but,let us even leave that aside. Who do u want us to get and why? I personally will take lukaku ahead of the remaining strikers being linked to us at the moment because he scores!!! Simple. Lukaku can actually score goals!! He may not do 30plus however,i will be totally ok if he can do 20plus. |

pamcode: They should just covert Barkley to a winger. I've never seen that ninja as a CAM. He just lacks the vision. 2 Likes |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by diggz: 2:35pm On May 02, 2017 |
nateevs: Yes, we are building from the back, working up the field with vertical passes through the channels with a Costa, a wasteful striker in terms of possession and one who is highly erratic in nature. If Costa can play in this CFC side, I definitely can't see why lukaku won't fit in. If we want a better ball playing striker who can score goals? Yes! Are they readily available? No! I definitely won't want us to buy a player like morata with flicks and tricks plus quick one twos with no end result. |

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by raumdeuter: 2:45pm On May 02, 2017 |
diggz: Drogba was one of the best strikers in Europe before Chelsea bought him. He won the Onze D'or for that year. He was Ligue 1 player of the year I still remember his goal vs Real Madrid in the CL. He scored 5 goals in 6 CL games and 6 in EUropa including 2 against Liverpool, 1 against Inter and 2 against Newcastle. I still remember that ESPN headline in 2004 "Newcastle fail Drog test" Drogba to Lukaku the gap is far 3 Likes |

Being an upgrade to Costa shouldn't be the only criterion for buying a striker I really like Lukaku, but I don't want a striker that can't bring us out a tough situation when the team isn't playing well or a striker that only contributes anything meaningful in the box Lukaku might not be scoring top teams because of the midfield he plays with but then I haven't seen Lukaku bully any top defender ....He is too easy to mark out 3 Likes |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by diggz: 3:11pm On May 02, 2017 |
raumdeuter: Are you sure you read what nateevs posted at all? I still remember his goal vs Real Madrid in the CL. He scored 5 goals in 6 CL games and 6 in EUropa including 2 against Liverpool, 1 against Inter and 2 against Newcastle. I still remember that ESPN headline in 2004 "Newcastle fail Drog test" After he did everything in Ur list, did Madrid or barca sign him? Who is making any claims about lukaku being in the same bracket as drogba here? Oga Dayo, I am not doing a direct comparison btw drogba n lukaku mbok! I am only pointing nateevs to the fact that drogba wasn't the perfect 9 when he joined CFC. He wasnt known for tricks and flicks either. |

Ibime:exactly at least he can showboat all day and run up and down all he likes. I watched their game against West Ham he couldn’t string two passes together, always hugging the ball for too long, until Ademola lookman was subbed in Everton had no meaningful attack. 1 Like |

diggz: I hear this thing time and again. Costa and Lukaku in terms of ball control, movements and tricks are worlds apart. Who perpetuates this falsehood? Just look at Costa's sublime play at the weekend for the chance that Hazard missed. Costa's goal against Southampton. And people continue to say If Costa can, Lukaku can. It's not true. And it's not just myself saying this. I have Everton fans on the radio saying the same thing. I have Real, Barcelona, Juventus, Bayern, PSG, Monaco, United, City, all not bothered. . . You think they don't know these things you know? Why do you think they are all not bothered? This guy is 23 FFS. The whole world should be begging for his signature but they are not. |
