Bros, you typed that Rashford had declined. Players who have declined do not regain their form ya know?

Some did.

Nobody thought Lassana Diarra could play for Madrid after he left Chelsea for Arsenal and subsequently shipped to Portsmouth.

Zouma is gradually returning to that form before his injury.

How is Canada a better country than Naija?

una don see us finish. Baba I can school, live, work in Canada but if it comes to playing football for either country, it is Nigeria without any iota doubt.

I'm just trying to understand why anyone would say he should have gone for Canada when Naija is there.
Oga I am not saying Canada football is better tha Nigeria

Mikel was a regular at the start of his Chelsea career. He chop bench well well afterwards.

Mikel spent 11 years at Chelsea (2006 - 2017).

If Chelsea played 38 EPL + 10 European competition+ 6 local cup games (FA+Carling) every season on the average (it's more than that though), that will amount to 54 games per season.

So, in Mikel's 11 years at Chelsea, he was eligible to play in 54*11 = 594 games. Let's say he got injured and missed 100 games, that would be around 500 games he should've played if he was a regular. He only managed 372 games in total.

Lampard spent 13 years (2001-2014) at Chelsea and played 648 games. That's almost double Mikel's apps in roughly the same period of time.

Mikel warm bench oga. Or have you forgotten this image?

I was waiting for someone to do the maths for that oga cheesy

interesting piece


While previous managers have often just had to think about maximising Hazard’s talents, Lampard will have several more to incorporate. While this may seem like an advantage, and it certainly can and should be one, it also poses Frank with a challenge not felt by Sarri or Conte. While Sarri could play a defensively solid midfield 3 of Jorghino, Kante and Kovacic as well as a defensive winger in Willian, and Conte could use a back 3 and physical double pivot, both systems offering Chelsea and Hazard a solid base from which to play, Lampard will not have these options if he is to field 4-5 of his match winners at once next season.

Lol. Do you even know the meaning of "declined"?

Lassana Diarra was 23 when he signed for Madrid. He was only off form at Chelsea and Arsenal and that is probably due to the fact that he was not given the playing time needed to regain his form. Kurt Zouma is still only 25 years old.

A declining player is a player who is losing the abilities that made him a top player in the first place. Examples: lose of pace, vision, shooting ability, technical abilities, fitness etc.

When the player loses these abilities and it is clear that he cannot regain them (usually because the player is old and nearing the end of his career) the player is said to have declined. So how can 23 years old Lassana diarra and 25 years old Zouma be said to have declined?


Has Hazard declined or is he off form?

Na Tomori own worse pass. He was eligible to play for Canada but he still chose England. 1 cap (84’ sub) in 2019 and has barely made the squad or bench since then.

Even if you don’t want to play for Nigeria, at least Canada still Dey now. Shuo?

Its too early for all these. Dude is only 22. Maguire did not play for England till he was 25(I stand to be corrected) and today, he's the first choice English Centre back.

The future will tell if he made the right decision or not but for now, its too early to conclude he made the wrong choice

... This system famously allowed Hazard to remain higher up the pitch more consistently than under previous managers and to devastating effect. Rather than having to track back as a traditional winger, he could remain advanced, always in position to receive a pass in behind the first and sometimes second lines of pressure, safe in the knowledge that Alonso was providing width and Kante and Matic providing balance in behind...


Some have always argued between Hazard and Neymar which at times escalates to Lampard vs iniesta or Xavi. When the wise ones said Hazard played as a winger while Neymar played as a forward, the fool ones argued and trolled.

Hazard played 10 and those half spaces in Lille before Mourinho came and pushed him to the wings and expected him to track back. Him and Willian, no wonder Salah was sold. Salah performs wonderfully in those half spaces as a forward player. Meanwhile Mourinho used Lampard and Oscar in those half spaces (both were better than KDB defensively and in scoring).

Looking at that Liverpool formation I understand why iniesta didn't have has much assists as Alba or Neymar or anyone who played that left side with him. They were more creative and given more creative role than him while he sat deeper and recycled possession with Busquets.

Looking at Chelsea's 2017 epl winning team, we really didn't replace Matic and Conte was right not to be happy about his sell. Using Bakayoko or Fabregas in that his role was just awful.

In fact a player in one team can become a different player in another. That is football.

Let me bring it here, for those way no go read am and for those that like doing PNWC (posting nonsense with confidence)

There is an existing notion among some fans that the only thing separating Chelsea from Liverpool is an elite CB and GK (and LB). The argument goes something like this: “Liverpool were defensively vulnerable until they signed Van Dijk and Alisson, as long as Chelsea can sign players of a similar calibre, they can become title contenders.”

While adding a Van Dijk-esque defender (if one is even available) and elite GK would reduce the amount of goals we concede from counter-attacks to a certain extent, the fact of the matter is Chelsea are still allowing far too many chances from poor positioning to be competitive, Van Dijk-esque defender or not.

Every team will find itself out of position and vulnerable to a counter attack at times across the season, whether that’s due to chasing a game and being more open than usual, coming up against press-resistant midfielders able to consistently escape counter-pressure or simply facing an especially fast, in form counter-attacking side.

In these rare occasions, elite players like Van Dijk and Alisson provide an excellent insurance policy. Van Dijk in particular is one of the few defenders in the world who you’d back when overloaded 2v1.

However, while these moments happen rarely at Liverpool, at Chelsea they occur far too frequently, an outcome of systemic flaws in our organisation rather than rare, specific situations.

As such, relying on individual players to bail us out every single time is not only unsustainable, it ignores the fact that good defense is a collective action, especially in the modern game.

All the defenders of Van Dijk and critics of Rudiger, the judgers of Jorginho and slammers of Kepa and Alonso. I kept posting that those things were not the players fault (some sha) but mostly the way Lampard sets them up defensively, but no because the attacking footie was too sweet let's blame Jorginho, let's blame Alonso and Zouma.

Before Rudiger returned the way dey attacked Zouma and co eh, then Rudiger returned and suffered the same thing. There were times even Cesar and Kante weren't their usually defensive rock to help out but fell short.

I am glad we have a new defensive coach in Chelsea team.
