Kepa clears that ball easily if he wasn't a püssy.

Zouma is not faultless technically, far from it but he has ten times the defensive awareness of Rudiger, and routinely deals with situations that Rudiger will turn into a funny moment. Same with Thiago. They know how to cut shït out by sensing danger. Rudiger is just a community defender in a back 3 who never sees anything or does anything to deal with situations, just lucky that there are more bodies around in a back 3 so his cluelessness isn't exposed as often as it should be.

Zouma sold his keeper short with that feeble pass that gave Che Adams the chance to get on the ball and puts his keeper at risk, when you pass to someone you weight it so it gets to the intended party

raumdeuter:


Yellow and suspension or back away and collect goal which one is better?

This is what Valverde did when his team was facing a similar scenario and the whole world of football followers clapped for him

This is nothing like the Zouma one. This one Valverde knows the guy is through on goal. Zouma would do the same. The Neves one, Zouma is playing the probabilities that the guy won't get the shot off before being crowded out, it's on an acute angle and on his left foot so he doesn't need to do anything drastic but play the probabilities.

Shey no be knockout game abi na final be that? In the dying seconds of Spanish Super Cup?

And a league that has 38 games?

Apples and oranges.

a loss is a loss

3 points was lost due to Zoumas foolishness
Simeone said everyone would have done the same but he obviously has never watched Zouma the defender who backs away in the last minute

Ibime:



You can hate any player you want if they are awful sef. I hated Bakayoko before he even kicked a ball. Havertz hatred is due to laziness and poor ball retention.

I don't hate Rudiger, just a mild dislike. But 4 years of brainfarts is enough my guy. It's taken that long to dislike him.

No two games or even 20 games of good performance will make me ever accept Kepa. I rejected that fool from the day he made a mockery of Sarri by refusing to accept his substitution in Carabao Cup final.

So you are hating for the sake of it and not based on performance? How sad.
He made 1 mistake and you can't let go? Even Sarri himself no complain, you dey here dey carry wahala for head?

That is Zoumas problem and his poor football education is why he is taking such gamble with 20secs to go when you should not be conceding, That is why Pep teaches his players to do a tactical foul outside the box before it gets to bad situations

Zouma didnt, he backed off and he paid for it, Lampard also paid for it

That's not a mistake, that was a massive disrespect to the club.

What do you mean Sarri didn't complain. Sarri that stormed down the tunnel chewing cigarette frantically and had to be dragged back onto the pitch

Don't confuse money matter with moral matter. If Kepa was a youth player, Sarri would demand they tear up his contract that very day. Na because Sarri no want lose millions in compensation he didn't storm out and let the suits handle the communication around the matter.

On top.of that, his performance stinks.so you.kmow he is already in the bad books from Sarri matter and almost 2 years of stinking performances.

100 days and 1000 minutes. From famine to feast (not fully yet) but Turbo Timo came through. That smile on his face. Joyful.

The team is not firing 100% yet but the football is pleasing to watch. The ability to play in tight spaces, the speed of recovery when without the ball and going forward like they know what exactly they needed to do.

The best thing the directors have done so far this year was to hire a proper manager.

Only way is up.

Southampton next.

Did Sarri not play him afterwards?
He was disrespectful = a mistake on his part and only because he badly wanted to play. Again it was an error of judgement = mistake.
Sarri can't demand nada, and Kepa was no youth player.

You said Sarri didn't complain and I shouldn't carry the matter for head. I said Sarri complained and only politics and financial interests made him cool down and allow the club clean up that matter.

Well, Sarri had to protect his financial interests by towing the club line and not throwing his toys out the pram, but I as a fan with only emotional interest am allowed to carry the matter for head. That's just it.

In our days of football, any disrespect to the club and you are out. Just like when Gallas threatened to score own goal if not given a new contract and was exited immediately. I'm sure you wouldn't take such matter lightly, or have you turned into indomie generation Chelsea fan?

Raumdeuter, the Aparisports CEO.

The whole world knew Yarmolenko will cut Rudiger, but the kponkpon defender's brain wouldn't work when needed. Thank God for the system that's shielding his weaknesses so far.

‘In the second half, the first three or four minutes were more or less the picture for the whole half. We suddenly gave away two shots in the first two minutes, we lost duels, we had suddenly corners against us and I felt we had the feeling of something to lose.

‘We played too many balls back when we could escape the pressure, we did not open up or keep the advantage to put the game into the opponent’s half. The counter-attacks in the second half were not precise or clinical enough to score a third goal and finish the game.’

This guy is so sincere, he pointed out the annoying things.

I don't blame him too much for this, although it added insult to injury. Like I said, any defender can get dribbled one-on-one. Most defenders know Robben will.cut in on his left but can't stop it.

His real crime in this game was the corporate shoe clearance he used to concede the corner for the second goal, knowing Soucek had already scored twice from corner and the way Antonio finished him all game. My guy was shaking like a fish out of water every time Antonio was racing him down, even if he had 10 yards head start, he would still find a way to boot the ball the ball for corner, throw-in or a hapless clearance back into the danger zone.

Any left footed winger on the right will do the same thing and most defenders have not found a solution to it

But how do we explain what Zouma was doing here like a toddler kicking ball for the first time airmark can you explain

That's a lie, because Obafemi's right was even stronger than his left unlike Yarmolenko's. Try harder.

Sarri was angry but did he "complain"?

You surely cannot compare the two scenarios.

Kepa: I am hurt but I want to play on FOR the club.
Gallas: Give me more money else I will score an own goal against the club.

Generations indeed.

I don't care what generation it is, I want my players to show passion and hunger to succeed. Yes, he was disrespectful to his coach/manager/club but given the circumstances around it, it is not enough to keep on hating on the guy.

If to say you dey talk performance now, I can understand, everything else is just hate. Pure and simple.

TT is a massive upgrade on all levels.
So far he is doing the right things and you can see the boys fighting for their places in the team.
The way they all ran back to defend was so sweet to watch.

Gallas showed defiance behind closed doors. We only heard it from rumours later.

Kepa showed defiance in front of the whole world. Which is worse?

All the remorse talk later is just his agents and managers cleaning up his reputation which Gallas never got the chance to do as his fückup was not in the public eye.

And how do you know about Sarris complaints or not. You are only yarning because Sarri is a gentleman that can negotiate behind closed doors unlike Conte that would have dragged Kepa in public. Of course Sarri was mad, but Marina had to go in and clean the matter. If Sarri had more power and a better backup keeper, I guarantee Kepa would not see shirt again that season. Imagine doing that to Mourinho, Pep or Klopp, they would have turned him into Casillas and banished him to the bench forever, but instead he was only dropped for one game and given a light rap on the wrist.

Obafemis right was already covered the only option was his weaker left foot and he still molested Brikila Zouma

Raumdeuter, I started everything with “this season’s Zouma” I’ll love to see GIF’s of Zouma “this season “

I might not like Christensen but his awareness is good

Christensen is so stupid that a burglar can have a Field day at his house even when he is at home.

That guy's sense of awareness is below zero.

raumdeuter:


Where did the technical land him? Last minute opponent coming at you, a sensible defender collects his yellow early and stops the attack. But the senseless Zouma was backing away until they lit fire on his post

Your accessment is correct this time. Airmark likes supporting Ibime.

Like say no be the same Christensen all of us Dey watch.


The guy has been playing like his brains have been scrambled ever since the day he passed the ball straight to Iniesta in the UCL R16 tie in 2018.

Last season, there was a game against crystal palace that the guy was maybe playing his PS4 in his head in the dying moments of a game we badly needed to win and would've cost us the game if Jordan Ayew had been a bit more useful and if Zouma hadn't made a brilliant last ditch tackle.

There were no probabilities there. That wasn't even a one - on - one dribble. Zouma was simply dribbled by his man when he should have gone for the challenge outside the box. Worst case scenario, he gets a yellow card.

Zouma, had on of those brainfarts that you malign Ruediger for

Who you picking?

You and who knew?? If Ruediger had anticipated too much that he would cut to his left, we could have seen an Aubameyang Zouma situation.

There is nothing stopping Yarmolenko gliding to his right and driving an unstoppable shot past the goalie. Just like Messi did to Omeruo who had anticipated that he would cut to his left foot.

Ruediger tried to get the tackle right. The same cannot be said for Zouma who was completely wrong-footed by Auba.

Your hatred and agenda for the guy has made you gone petty and with it, you will end up making us feel sympathetic towards him, and hence the need to support his selection.

The guy lives in his imagination a lot.

I still wonder how someone who would lie on the floor until they score us because the ref didn't give him a foul have a great sense of awareness.

The phrase must surely mean something else to him.

The gif against Southampton this season where Zouma and Kepa performed their stand up comedy, who would believe that Christensen was ball watching as Zouma outpaced Che Adams to pass the ball to Kepa. A defender with an average defensive awareness would have anticipated that Che Adams might outpace Zouma because he actually was in better position to. Had Christensen reasoned this, he would have been in a more useful position when eventually Zouma somehow outpaced Che and made that wrong pass.

Why should he anticipate too much? Go and learn how great defenders jockey in 1v1 situations to force their attackers to play nonsense with their weaker feet before typing thousands of meaninless words.

Why is Raumdeuter supporting Rudiger? Buy am if you like him so much.

For me, the guy is the most unintelligent defender we have at Chelsea. Zouma this season has been cool and he doesn't deserve to sit on the bench if Rudiger didn't really meet with the board.
