Maybe we should be sharing our price money with the Ref association anytime we win d league, it seems we are not paying our bills

We should Pay our dues to those f**lish refs with evil agenda giving unnecessary free kicks to the opposition, failing to award necessary cards

Sell moses

Chelseafan1:

We won the match, maybe you didn't even jubilate sef, na Bakayoko u dey take eyee follow all over the pitch

It is normal for you to study all your players closely, especially the new ones. If your eye had followed him closely when he was at Monaco, you would not have been making foolish statements like telling us he is better than Matic. It's not about Matic sef, there were many midfielders we were hoping on like Tolisso and Paredes but instead we went and bought the biggest donkey in France. Bakayoko will not keep his place as first choice central midfielder long.

Not yet, but Willian should go

Ibime:

We would see about that.
In the mean time, if u like go sacrifice ur dick for okija shrine, Bakayoko is here to stay, deal with it and stop disturbing us with your foolish, senseless rants.

Matic is gone, you can go join Man utd to support him, leave Bakayoko for us.

So no party today

Conte's army is still marching on.

fa cup final

I see. I missed part of fa cup final though.
I think he dedicates more time to freekicks from that spot than anything else.

I go dey disturb Bakayoko every match like I did with Ramires. Get used to it, but if it gives you HBP, feel free to ignore. How can Courtois make more passes than my central midfielder, and I will keep kwayet. You never see anything.

I love this kind of mail... Direct to the owner.

No time running around like headless chicken

Christensen was average today but I wouldn't judge him on the basis of this match considering the opponent but it should be noted that he needs to do better to gain better time.

On a general note, kudos to the team. We played and defended gallantly today.
I'm of the opinion that we give batshuayi more starting berths. This is to boost his confidence, it took some serious pummelling today and only better game time would boost it.

FUCK_ COSTA!! no one is greater than the club. Absolutely no one!! Conte has proven to be the way forward for the club. The board needs to back him relentlessly.

Nawa. U guys are never happy on this thread

A thrilling and morale boosting game today. Stand out performers for me in the order
Alonso
Luiz
Kante. Honorable mentions - Christensen, Rudiger, Azpilicueta, Morata, Pedro, Bakayoko,Courtois.

Flops-Bathsuayi, Willian.

Chelseafan1:


Should we now throw him to the bin after his first match for us? Just because u think he isnt good, I don't even understand what you want sef.

We won the match, maybe you didn't even jubilate sef, na Bakayoko u dey take eye follow all over the pitch so that u can come on nairaland and tell us that you said so. I don't know what you want really.

He is here to stay, shout from now till December, Matic is gone and no one is replacing Baka anytime soon.

Better get used to it.

Bros....calm down. It is time for we matic fans to gloat and say I told you so mbok!

Anyways...ibime may seem harsh with is criticism of babayoko but he didn't just start criticizing him today. He actually said all these things before we bought him. as a matter of fact he didn't want him to start with. same way u guys were on matic case last season even when we win. It shouldn't be taken personal.

I for one I am not comfy with him however I am willing to wait a little longer before I make up my mind about it.

I am sure you were here when we just got rudiger and after a match of his I saw I was on is case till preseason started and since then i have held me peace. I even admitted I may have been quick in judging him here today.

So let ibime be...if babayoko performs well in the future I am sure he will come around if not then it will be I told you so season and you guys will have to deal with it. Shikena

airmark:


Bend the knees for what? He did well in an ultra-defensive side, with luiz doing well to shield the back three. Hate how he stupidly collected that yellow card. I will like to see him against mesmerizing attackers like his friend, perisic before i can say eureka.

This is the thing with arguments on Nairaland. Mates simply argue without assessing the other party's stance.

Last month when you were busy uploading GIFs just to shame Rudiger, here was the reply I had for you:

Griffon:
How some of you manages to drag a whole lot of gibberish to this board scares me at times.

So one GIF now defines a player's overall play? Like one particular action analyses a player's strengths and weaknesses? Mehn this is beer parlor punditry at its best.

I have seen RVP waltz past JT with relative ease, leaving our then captain for dead in an EPL game. I have also seen Ayew reduce JT to a belly dancer in an EPL game. If your beer parlor punditry is anything to go by, JT is simply a useless defender who defends stupidly innit?

Over the years, I have seen many decent defs who were unfortunate to fall for a player's guile and artistry. It had never been anything new and will never be anything new. Some of those moments includes; Senderos vs Drogba, Ferdinard vs Aiyegbeni, Ashley Cole vs C Ronaldo, Every Defender vs Ronaldinho, Puyol vs Di Maria, Boateng vs Messi, Luiz vs Suarez, Ivanovic vs Montero, Smalling vs Kante, Koscielny vs Hazard, Batra vs Bale and many more and more.

So why is Rudiger getting the sticks for his? You all would be making sense if getting mopped on the turf is actually a thing Rudiger is known for but unfortunately it isn't.

The nigga's weaknesses from what i've seen are delivering decent crosses and committing fouls. It's nothing near falling like a bag of cement when approached with the ball. His performances at the just concluded Confederations Cup speaks volume of the player he is.

Say NO to beer parlor punditry and analyse a player's strengths and weaknesses with more than one blip.

Moreover, Conte's backline is always that water-tight with enough protection guaranteed from the short devil in midfield, so why create a debate that doesn't even exist?

Despite being my nigga, I still have my fears about Rudiger and it's the one fact that he is injury prone. That is an angle y'all should be concerned about.

The emboldened was asserted on July 11, you just woke up to that fact on August 20th.

ayemi temi baami

I was praying for chelsea to lose but not all prayers get answered.

dumininu01:
Buh would love to c dembele play for Chelsea.. . Dah guy is a beast

As in ehn

Bakayoko did alright today considering he has had no preseason and just came out of surgery to play In a formation neither himself nor the club has played before.

Bakayoko was tasked with playing right wing today.

I think he did ok.

Whoscored are actually saying Bakayoko did better than both Alli and Eriksen - and Eriksen assisted that own goal.

It wasn't a blockbuster debut, and it was a tough opponent. It was a good solid debut though, and sometimes that's all you need.

Christensen was average today?? Sometimes I wonder if you people watched a different game.

Just so you know, Cahill has already sealed a spot on the bench.

I hope so.

We should only see Cahill in community shield games

Rudiger and Christensen are already making me see them as long term replacements for luiz and cahill.. Alonso in 2-3 years can become a player of Marcelo level.. We need a decent back up in the LWB and we don't need to waste money for that spot...

Ibime:


Clearly you are not used to looking at midfield stats. All midfielders average 80+% and make about 50 passes a game.

A midfielder just made 10 passes in 90 minutes and you are telling me you will only worry when it hits 6?

man apart from those passes, he put up some decent passes and interception in his game today..

Conte never used david luiz, kante and bakayoko type of players in the midfield in any of our past matches. I don't know how your july 11 post butressed the fact that we paraded 7 solid players who are good defensively, on the pitch today.

Look, i am not taking anything away from his performance, using this match to bring out fireworks, is a no for me. Dont let us drag this far, cos if we start analysing now, some will think i am dragging his performance into the mud. Christensen did better than him defensively, in my eyes.

Just as diggz said, i will let it slide.

Chelsea defended in numbers so it's easy to make comments like this.

Skimpledawg:

That Niqqa na agric fowl o. Wished I can get that gif where he was jogging close to a Tottham defender instead of putting pressure on him..


Na fvck mehn

I saw that too, at first I was screaming at him to engage but later on i think it was a tactic to place himself for counters

I think he did ok.

We played diamond midfield. Kante and Baka played RCM and LCM. Kante made 3 times more successful passes than Baka, playing the same position. I told you guys months ago that Baka passing is so poor, he will make Kante look like Fabregas. First evidence tendered. My man could not even outpass Courtois.

Teams facts


Spurs’ 19-game home Premier League unbeaten run has come to an end, with Chelsea the first side to beat Spurs away from home since Southampton in May 2016.


Tottenham have lost seven of their last
nine matches at Wembley (W1 D1) and lost
each of their last four games against
Chelsea there.


Harry Kane had eight shots, his most in a
Premier League game without finding the
net.
Kane has now had 34 shots and played 12
games in the month of August without
scoring in the Premier League.


Marcos Alonso has scored two direct free-
kicks in the Premier League since the start
of last season, with only Philippe Coutinho
(3) scoring more.



Since the start of last season, no Chelsea
player has scored more Premier League
braces than Alonso (2, level with Diego
Costa and Eden Hazard).


Pedro has assisted a goal in three of his last
four Premier League substitute
appearances.


Michy Batshuayi was the first substitute to
score an own-goal for Chelsea in the
Premier League since Michael Duberry
against Leicester City in April 1999.


The last four goals Spurs have conceded
from outside the box in all competitions
have all been scored by Chelsea.



Chelsea have never lost when they’ve been
leading at half-time under Antonio Conte in
the Premier League (W20 D2).
