Why is Chelsea not in for Mahrez?

Surely, we need decent additions in the attacking third.

Complete mystery to me. Unless thee is something the football world knows about him that is not apparent to us.

Leyqute:
It's only a matter of time before this one turns to Emerson Palmwine Tapper

Not matter of time ke? Once a palmwine drinker always a palmwine tapper
The guy take style hide the Palmieri part of his name so people wont know he is a tapper of palm

Leyqute:
It's only a matter of time before this one turns to Emerson Palmwine Tapper

Na here we dey bro. That glorious day will soon be upon us

Suddenly you moved away from that senseless chelsea-arsenal view of your friend. Don't quote me in something shallow ramuzaki.

Tell us why your coach has been looking clueless all season the moment he had continental commitments

airmark:


It was conte that made morata to miss four big chances at emirates, in the league. He turned rudiger's head to score the equaliser in carabao. He went ahead to inflict injury on willian in the match to join fab, courtois and morata too.

Did those two players you are accusing also play when conte took us Wembley to loose fa cup final against the same arsenal?


Let conte go and coach barca he won't still beat wenger.

Go and check the stats for that game and come and tell me how arsenal dominated. A game we had more goal attempts and the possession was decent.

Oh, it was conte who asked moses to dive foolishly and cupped a red, that gave the numerical advantage to wenger. Despite that, we still went ahead to score. Blame the coach and not the average players in the team.

Conte on emerson : ‘He’s a young player but a very good prospect. I don’t know [about Emerson’s move], I don’t know. If there is news the club will inform you of any new players.’

Pressed again on whether he had seen much of Emerson, Conte continued: ‘I don’t remember Palmieri because he played in Italy only last season. ‘Last season he had an important season for Roma, then he had a bad injury, broke his ligament, now he’s recovering.'

One chance, always buying players who are recovering from injuries.

batshuayi is leaving chelsea today

anyway he will get better playing for dortmund and push giroud to 3rd striker . that marina has sense

Giroud for 18mil...?? abeg why waste the money? We should carry on the season the way it is abeg. How worse can it be for us to consider buying giroud for 18m?
Phooolish management.....keep batshuayi let giroud and Wenger go fvck themselves

A lot of chelsea fans believe the chelsea way should always be defensive or at best pragmatic.

We hate football purists. It is unfortunate.

i like my football to be balanced, dynamic and unpredictable. To be able to play anyway. Don't be predictable and limited to some certain style.

I so much love dynamism. I am like that. That is how I want chelsea to be. Any how you want it, we give it to you. This is one of the reasons why hazard is one of my favourite players. He can thrive in any system.

i keep wondering why.
Na the summer one pain pass. I mean, this guy just wants to upgrade and was ready to go to any club that is an upgrade to Leicester. Damn!!

Tommorow you will change your tune to Hazard plays in a defensive setup at Chelsea which is holding him back.

The bolded is another name for reactive football. Clubs are not reactive because they like it, they are reactive because they are limited.

If Chelsea get top top attacking players, we will not need to be unpredictable. We will be predictable and still blow teams away, but with style.

All Elite teams have a defined style. For Chelsea to become Elite, we need to have our own style not just reacting to any opposition.

Top oppositions will react to us if we have a defined attacking template but with superior players to make it work.

raumdeuter:


Instead of your fellow Chelsea fans like diggz to appreciate the coming of Guardiola na so so bad belle upandan

Which useless coming? Wetin b the special thing him don do in 2seasons? Abeg mk we hear word bros

If I am Abramovich, Would just hijack that Aubameyang deal, Then send Batman to dortmund with a buyback clause

Madrid is an elite team, but they don't have a specific pattern.

is hazard not thriving at Chelsea?


But, he will better if played with elite players in his level with more freedom upfront.

Madrid is probably the only exception here.

And even then against 99% of teams, they attack and control proceedings like a Boss. If Real madrid play Chelsea, i don't expect them to react to Chelsea.

When Madrid play Barcelona or maybe Bayern Munich, they get Reactive which is a testament of the superioity of good attacking philososphy that is defined, mastered and prosecuted by top level footballers.

Herein lies the real mystery of the weekend, looking at Michy’s goal scoring record alone it is hard to figure out why he hasn’t been generally lauded more.
Clubs who use stats and Moneyball to figure out who they should buy must look at Michy and think wow! Only two strikers in the Premier League have a better goals-to-minutes-played ratio than him this season in all competitions, Sergio Aguero, who has scored a goal every 95 minutes, and there is of course Harry Kane. Michy is currently on a goal every 100 minutes this season and these are the only three players at or under that number in the top flight of English football.
Even Mo Salah at Liverpool in the midst of his incredible season is not quite at that level, though he has scored a lot more goals and does add a few assists! It is not to dismiss the brilliance of players like Salah but the stats are weird here. Michy has scored more goals than Sadio Mane, Dele Alli, Riyad Mahrez and is level with Marcus Rashford. These players are highly regarded in the game. He has also scored more goals this season than any single player has for Arsenal. He hasn’t scored that many in the Premier League, but then it is quite hard to score when you aren’t actually on the field.
Coutinho, Lingard, Martial, Vardy and Sane are all a goal or two ahead of Michy but each has had at least 40 per cent more game time than he has. So a goal or two behind these luminaries is not bad in the circumstances. Judging purely by the statistics it looks mysterious, but those of us who watch the Blues most weeks know it is not quite that simple. Link-up play, holding the ball up and providing assists all have to be brought into consideration as well. Antonio is acutely aware of this and it is always worth considering who your goals are against.
Whatever happens with Michy in the short- or long-term, one thing is absolutely certain, he will score goals if he is given opportunities by his team-mates. Everyone at the club was delighted for him after the Newcastle game.



This is it. The thing we have been saying about this stats issue.

even barca doesn't focus only on attack when they play top teams.

they either go 50:50 or 60:40 depending on how the game goes, tactical shift in games when things don't go as planned.

even pep knows you can't play attacking football without a strong defensive.

the purpose of attack is to score goals, defense is not to conceed and lose points. no top team goes into any top game without a concrete defense setup except they are planing to lose.

You can have a strong Defense without being defernsive in approach.

Bayern have a strong Defense. They are no way defensive.

City under Pep is building a world class defense , dosen't mean they will become defensive in approach.

His inability to beat arsenal when it matters is a sum-total of his failuree as a tactician.

The barest minimum expected of a Chelsea manager is the ability to beat Arsenal 9 times out of 10.

Lols whatever makes u sleep at night.

Arsenal na our bîtch....Arsenal na our bîtch when in fact, its the other way around.

Between 99 to 04, not one singu win in 16 attempts against Arsenal. But oil money and Mourinho came and all that changed and yet, Arsenal still always managed to nick a win every now and then.


But....but "we are expected to beat Arsenal 9 times out of 10". SMH!!

Chelsea are no longer the team of the 99s era. The earlier you get used to that the better.

Every Chelsea manager since Mou have managed to dominate Arsenal due to a combination of superior tactics and better players, is there any reason why it should stop now?

City were a nobody club in the 90s. They are an elite European powerhouse now. History is for the historians.

Chelsea should please sign fellaini and smalling

Yes History is for the Historians. But if una begin defend Hazard now, y'all will start reminding us of how he has won PFA POTY and how he conquered France at 21.....whatever suits ur narrative sha!!

Which Superior tactics did u use to dominate Arsenal?? Park the bus? Defend and counter? Yh.....Superior!!


Keep crying at how you should be winning them 9 out of 10 and they ll keep beating ur asses!!
