They should calm down and let us live small abeg. Even with the restrictions, my daughter's school has been closed the last 4 weeks due to someone in every class having Covid. Instead of sending the infected person home, they send the whole class home till every class in the school was sent home. No playgroup activities open for the children, no football lessons, no swimming lessons etc make dem burn energy. This Covid done turn man into full time babysitter, man just want rest. I still have 3 weeks annual leave to take before December, I'm just waiting till both kids are at school before I take one week and just rest without having to chase after kids, now dem dey talk about another lockdown. At this stage, e go better make man catch virus than continue the lockdown lifestyle.

It is a tough one. With the kids at home all day every day but luckily i get to go to work during the week and escape the mayhem at home.

Imagine with 10-20 new cases every day people were restricted to 5km radius from home. Could go out only 1 time for exercise and for food.
Now it is only 1 new case in the last 24hrs and people are still restricted to 25km radius although you can go out any number of times now.

If there is no vaccine in sight then these draconian restrictions don't make sense IMO.

Vaccine no dey insight jare. Some doctors reinfected themselves multiple times and found that their antibodies disappeared after 3 months. They should just make treatments widely available like what they gave Trump (Remdesevir, Dexamethasone and Regeneron) and allow people to live. My kids have been in school for a total of only 3 weeks since March and that was a very busy time at work, if not man for just rest that period. Work has been hectic this year, my wife and I go in alternate days. On the days you work from home, na so so screaming, changing nappies, preparing food, entertaining kids inbetween and dealing with madness. Man is exhausted.

Burnley has scored just once in the last 5.

However, they are not shipping in goals as they used to. They really restricted Tottenham in their last game and it required Son and H. Kane to dig in deep before they could get that one goal.

Furthermore they are more rested than Chelsea who played during the week.

The onus will be on Lampard to attack and score and counter attacks won’t work against them because I don’t think they’ll leave space behind.

Interesting match.

Yep. That is why i said the strict restrictions don't make as much sense as before. People can get infected multiple times and antibody titres drop after a few months, meaning a vaccine even if it comes would likely not change anything.

Given that COVID is turning out to be something that will be seasonal and here to stay like the seasonal flu rather than a one and done like the previous pandemics how long will dey continue with the lockdowns?

I didn't see their game with Tottenham though, but if our attackers are creative and hungry enough we should get the three points. And on counter attacks, Lampard needs to work on it I don't even know how Chelsea now doesn't know how to utilise potential counter attacking chances well, they'll just be playing stupid passes to the back

Oga Ibime and Nihilistjnr may God be with you guys the mental health aspect of lockdown is better not experienced, I will advise you guys to stay off any Covid19 related news, read some books if time permits and engage in indoor exercises and make the best out of the interaction with the children. AfroDoc you can suggest other means for them since you're in the field of medicine

If they come out Chelsea will eat them raw. Pulisic is very direct and moves well with the ball. All those spaces behind the defenders will be giving him joy.

Werner is also a fast player.

If they stay back it won’t be easy. Only Havertz can create something - if they allow him time on the ball.

Werner is fast but loses the ball occasionally. I'd trust Pulisic more to make direct runs into their half to cause more havoc.

Havertz to play number 10 and send in those split passes.

The quality of under-18 teams varies from year to year so it is not as if one club would have the best team year in year out.

What we say is that we have the best record in terms of our academy producing great or even good players.

I didn't watch the match but from all reports you guys deserved to win the game.

Facts,

Ziyech is quite creative though but I'm not sure if lamps will start him although he still looks kind of frail for the physicality in premier league.
If they decide to stay back and defend we'll need more than one creative channel to break them down
