what the unholy fuckery! KEPA???

Bastoni is already a monster IMHO. Would LOVE him on Chels, but sub zero chance of that.

I would think so if they keep it up. Rice has been a monster too Bruno Fernandes will likely beat out de Bruyne due to KDB's big injury. Grealish would make it as a winger I think. Pure MFers the other who have been great are Mount Youri Tielemans (great rebound from a bit of a slump) Maddison Tanguy Ndombélé Rodri Yves Bissouma (under the radar) Kante (WHEN he has played correctly he has been insanely good, but is far too often played out of position) Foden is a winger in my mind, as is Harvey Barnes

AC Milan would be fools to turn the strike price down as too much. I am so pissed. Hopefully Marc Guéhi comes good as Tomori's replacement.

Sublime Pernille Harder has now become the best player in the WSL https://theathletic.com/2380686/2021/02/11/sublime-pernille-harder-has-now-become-the-best-player-in-the-wsl/ Just ten days ago, it felt like Pernille Harder’s Chelsea career had not yet truly exploded into life. Granted, of the 17 matches Harder had played since signing in the summer, she had won 15 of them. The other two were draws against Manchester United, when she only played 10 minutes on her debut, and against Arsenal, when she forced the late own goal that earned Chelsea a point. Not too shabby. We were, however, still waiting to see Harder justify her world-record fee. And then came three significant matches in the development of Chelsea this season. The first was the 6-0 thrashing of West Ham last week in the Continental Cup, where Harder scored a hat-trick comprised of two outstanding goals and one utterly dreadful one — a tap-in after goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold had almost tripped over her own feet trying to play out from the back. The other two demonstrated precisely what Harder is all about; a player capable of operating as a deep forward and a ruthless goal scorer simultaneously. The first saw her gesturing for a Ji So-Yun pass while picking up speed through midfield, collecting the ball just in front of the defence, taking a perfect first touch that would have been considered heavy if it was not for the fact she knew she boasted the speed to get on the end of it, and then perfectly dinking the ball home from an angle. The hat-trick goal was a brilliant piece of footwork featuring three touches apiece with the inside and outside of her right foot, which allowed her to collect a pass between her legs while on the run, before launching a dipping effort from the edge of the D into the net. It was her first Chelsea hat-trick, and while six months is hardly a long period without scoring three times in a game, it is worth remembering that Harder scored four hat-tricks in five games for club and country in 2019-20. The next significant display came at the weekend, when Harder did not start. Chelsea, unthinkably, lost their two-year unbeaten record, the longest in WSL history, to a Brighton side who had not won since mid-November, who had lost 7-1 to Manchester City and 3-0 to bottom-placed Bristol City. The statistics told the story: Chelsea had 76 per cent possession and recorded 2.5 xG compared to Brighton’s 0.3, who scored both goals from corners. It was an unfortunate defeat, yet Emma Hayes’ decision to rest Harder, as well as Ji and Fran Kirby, could not be ignored. They were rested with last night’s game against Arsenal in mind. All three returned, but Harder did not merely regain her place, she was handed the central No 10 role, where she had shone for Wolfsburg en route to being voted the Champions League’s best player last season. This was significant. Last month, in the crucial top-of-the-table clash against Manchester United, Harder had been moved to the right, with the in-form Kirby preferred through the middle. It was a logical decision to benefit Kirby, but Harder was peripheral. Here, she was central to everything. Hayes switched to a diamond midfield, with Kirby and Sam Kerr again the front two, but with Sophie Ingle introduced to bring some solidity to the midfield and Harder between the lines. And this was Harder’s chance — it is all very well scoring three goals in a 6-0 win over a poor West Ham side in a somewhat unloved cup, but this was a genuinely big game. Harder needed to respond, to prove she can justify the WSL’s reigning champions breaking up their existing structure and basing their side around her. She responded: within 10 seconds she had won a header from a long ball to win a corner. That was whipped into the box and narrowly evaded her head. And then, from the next attack, Harder got her head to a right-wing cross for the game’s first attempt at goal. Almost everything revolved around her. She battled back to win possession in midfield, snapping at the heels of Lia Walti, Arsenal’s metronomic deep-lying playmaker, before drifting into pockets of space either side when Chelsea won possession. Lydia Williams, Arsenal vociferous Australian goalkeeper, spent the evening bellowing instructions to Walti and Arsenal’s defenders about Harder’s positioning, evidently worried by her goalscoring threat. And it is no wonder, because after Arsenal had dominated shortly before half-time and made a positive start to the second half, Harder took the game away from them. When Walti got drawn towards Kirby, Harder found space 25 yards out, looked up and drove it into the bottom corner. It was not a thunderbolt, it was not dipping or swerving, it was just a pure, efficient, no-nonsense strike. Her second was perhaps better, rounding off a fine passing move down the left by absolutely belting the ball into the top of the net. Arsenal had not done much wrong, and had arguably created the better chances, but now found themselves 2-0 down largely thanks to the individual brilliance of one player. Harder continued to link play excellently, coming deep to receive possession before arrowing a pass in behind for Kirby, playing the No 10 role expertly. It was notable that Arsenal’s Vivianne Miedema dropped increasingly deep, frustrated with her lack of service and attempting to play the Harder role as an extra midfielder, leaving Lisa Evans and Beth Mead as wide forwards. But for Arsenal this felt spontaneous and a sign of growing desperation, whereas Chelsea’s use of Harder as the No 10 was very much the plan from the outset. Harder’s defensive diligence, incidentally, extended to tracking back and dispossessing Miedema herself at one stage, which seemed almost mocking when combined with the Dane’s remarkably distinctive running style — bolt upright, almost bouncing up and down rather than visibly driving forward, and yet capable of taking her past opponents at will. A passage of play three minutes from time summarised Harder’s performance — she won possession in the right-back zone, launched a counter-attack down that flank while making a run through the centre — and, as she pushed forward in search of a hat-trick, had the presence of mind to gesture substitute Guro Reiten into a wider position on the left, in preparation for a switch of play that eventually never came. That would have been an appropriate place to leave things, but then Kirby played a fine one-two with Beth England, before streaking away to score a breakaway third for Chelsea. As the players walked off the pitch, the inevitable song played out around Kingmeadow: Daft Punk’s Harder, Stronger, Better, Faster. It is a fitting anthem for a player who won headers, won tackles, outpaced opponents, linked play expertly, scored two outstanding goals. It took a few months for us to witness Harder’s best form, but in this mood she is the WSL’s best footballer, and fully deserving of being the most expensive player in women’s football history.

Once a pillar of Chelsea’s future, Tomori could become a champion at AC Milan https://theathletic.com/2384466/2021/02/15/fikayo-tomori-pillar-Chelsea-future-champion-ac-milan/ Fikayo Tomori left Chelsea for AC Milan in search of opportunity, only for opportunity to find him faster than he ever could have expected. In the 20th minute of a heated Milan derby that doubled as a Coppa Italia quarter-final at San Siro last month, defender Simon Kjaer suffered a thigh injury and could not continue. Only four days after holding up the famous red-and-black-striped shirt of his loan club for the first time, Tomori was thrown into one of the biggest fixtures in the Italian football calendar. Circumstances denied him a dream debut as Inter Milan came from behind to win 2-1. But Inter might have turned the tide even earlier had it not been for Tomori, who brought instant commitment and composure alongside Alessio Romagnoli in the Milan defence. With his team still leading, he threw himself in the way of Romelu Lukaku’s goal-bound flick from Achraf Hakimi’s driven low cross. “He played after two training sessions,” Milan coach Stefano Pioli said of Tomori after the game. “He’s got a lot of desire to learn. From a mental and technical standpoint I think he’s made a good impression.” Tomori continued to partner Romagnoli in Kjaer’s absence, and Milan didn’t miss a beat in their quest to claim a first Serie A title in 10 years until the Denmark international returned for Saturday’s shock 2-0 defeat against Spezia. In victories over Bologna and Crotone, the Chelsea loanee earned plaudits in the spiritual home of defending for his aggression and anticipation, as well as his ability to be progressive with the ball at his feet. Those qualities will be very familiar to many at Cobham, where Tomori began his football journey at the age of seven. But the fact that a player who so recently seemed set to be a pillar of Chelsea’s bright future might well end up becoming a champion somewhere else this season will be a source of frustration as well as pride. When he signed a new five-year contract with Chelsea in December 2019, Tomori appeared to have cemented his place alongside Mason Mount, Tammy Abraham and Reece James at the heart of Frank Lampard’s youth revolution. A month earlier he had made his senior England debut as a substitute in a 4-0 win over Kosovo in Euro 2020 qualifying, having caught the eye of Gareth Southgate with a series of assured performances alongside Kurt Zouma in the Premier League and Champions League. The idea that he would go on to make just six Chelsea appearances in the pandemic-disrupted calendar year of 2020 — followed by 10 minutes off the bench against Morecambe in the FA Cup in the first month of 2021 — despite suffering no serious injuries, seemed absurd. Tomori lost his regular starting spot less than a month after the ink had dried on his new deal, with sources telling The Athletic that Lampard had become concerned about his level in training. He made only two FA Cup appearances in January 2020 and his next Premier League start, in a 2-2 draw away at Bournemouth at the end of February, proved to be the last time he was seen on the pitch that season. Chelsea trailed 2-1 by the time Tomori was substituted in the 64th minute at the Vitality Stadium. His performance had been punctuated by errors and at one point Lampard could be heard shouting from the dugout for him to “wake up”. But it was a poor team display, and there was nothing else on the day to suggest that he would pay a particularly high price. Those who know Tomori insist he has never been anything less than totally professional in his approach to training, and that any suggestion to the contrary is unfair. When no explanation was offered as to why his first-team minutes had dried up, he did not go to Lampard and ask for one. Sources have told The Athletic that Chelsea’s former head coach had also developed doubts about the academy graduate’s ability to impose himself in the air compared to the other centre-backs in the squad — a view supported by the numbers. By the end of 2019-20, Tomori was keen to leave Chelsea on loan. Clubs in England and Europe made their interest known, and Everton — who were poised to take him a year earlier until David Luiz’s sudden departure for Arsenal — held particular appeal to the player. Lampard, however, was adamant that he did not want Tomori to go, insisting that he would get more opportunities even after Thiago Silva was acquired on a free transfer after leaving Paris Saint-Germain. Lampard’s preference was to offload Antonio Rudiger, who had struggled for form and fitness throughout the previous season but was still held in high regard by the Chelsea hierarchy. The issue became a point of tension between the board and the head coach, and it quickly became clear that no club was prepared to offer director Marina Granovskaia significant value for the Germany international in a transfer market decimated by the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. The impasse remained until the final days of the transfer window and Tomori paid a high price. Many of his most attractive loan options disappeared and Everton moved on, signing Ben Godfrey from Norwich City. By the time all parties accepted that Rudiger would not be leaving Chelsea, the only options for Tomori were to stay and fight for his place at Stamford Bridge or accept an 11th-hour loan offer from West Ham. Tomori chose the former. Sources have told The Athletic that he turned down West Ham in part because the late nature of the approach didn’t afford him the time he and his family have always taken to weigh up big career decisions. The strength of Lampard’s desire for him to stay, implying that he would be given a chance to work his way back into his favour, also played a key role. Three wasted months followed. Tomori was a spectator for the final stretch of the Lampard era, watching Zouma partner Silva for the first half of the 2020-21 season. Then, when defensive solidity fell away with the team’s form in December and January, Chelsea’s embattled head coach turned to Rudiger in search of a solution. By then Tomori had already resolved to make another push to leave, and this time he was open to a permanent move away. Tomori only became a priority target for Milan in January but they had been tracking his progress and monitoring his situation for much longer than that. As highlighted by Antonee Robinson’s aborted move to San Siro in January 2020, the Italians giants’ recruitment network covers the Championship and they were familiar with Tomori’s impressive performances for Lampard’s vibrant Derby County side in 2018-19. The other centre-backs on Milan’s radar were Strasbourg prospect Mohamed Simakan — who suffered a knee injury in January and has since agreed a move to RB Leipzig — and Ozan Kabak, who ultimately joined Liverpool on loan from Schalke. But once they set their sights firmly on Tomori they put their best foot forward, led by technical director Paolo Maldini. As well as heading up Milan’s recruitment structure, Maldini’s iconic status within football means he is regarded as a formidable “closer” when it comes to convincing players to join the club. One phone call was all it took for him to make the desired impact. “The best defender to ever play football was talking to me and asking me to come, so from there I knew that this is where I wanted to come and play football and to learn from him as well,” Tomori told Milan’s official website after completing the move. Milan had more to offer Tomori than the charms of a legend. As had been the case in the previous window, clubs in England and across Europe had signalled their interest in taking him on loan, with French club Rennes particularly enthusiastic suitors. But the lure of joining the team leading Serie A, playing for a club with a glorious history and challenging himself in a totally different football environment was too strong to resist. Not all footballers would relish the possibility of moving countries and plunging themselves into a foreign culture during a devastating pandemic, but the 23-year-old Tomori backed himself to make the adjustment. He is a smart, strong-willed and open-minded young man who threw himself into learning Italian virtually on arrival, and he is determined to make the most of this new experience. It is tempting to wonder how events might have transpired if the timing of Chelsea’s coaching change had been different. Lampard was sacked three days after Tomori joined Milan, and his successor Thomas Tuchel has so far favoured a system that features three centre-backs rather than two — even if Cesar Azpilicueta, a nominal right-back, has frequently occupied one of those spots. Tomori, however, will not concern himself with such hypotheticals. He is fully focused on making as significant a contribution as possible to Milan’s bid to return to the Champions League and knows that achieving that target will only help his chances of returning to the England picture in time for the delayed Euro 2020. Aspirations of playing in that tournament were a significant factor in his desire to leave Chelsea on loan at the end of last season. “From a physical standpoint we believe he’s a guy who can make the difference,” Maldini said of Tomori last month. “He has this ability to be aggressive and defend in a back four. Football is headed more and more in the direction of teams playing man to man. Within that, though, it’s still important to stay compact (and not lose your shape). Tomori is able to do both of these things very well.” There have already been plenty of flashes of what Milan saw in Tomori. Here, in the first half of his first start against a dangerous Bologna side, he steps up to confront Musa Barrow as the striker leads a threatening transition attack. Tomori’s aggression forces Barrow into an early decision, and he intercepts the striker’s attempted pass through to Nicolas Dominguez. Here, in the first half against Crotone, Tomori seems to be in a vulnerable position as he steps up to confront Adam Ounas after the Algerian winger beats Theo Hernandez with a slick piece of skill. But having successfully avoided committing himself, Tomori manages to stop Ounas in his tracks and forces him to turn his back on the Milan goal, before eventually poking the ball away. Later in the same game, a similar situation plays out on the opposite flank, where Eduardo Henrique manages to beat Davide Calabria and gets a clear run at the Milan defence. This time Tomori is more conservative, allowing team-mate Rade Krunic to confront Henrique first and only committing himself once Henrique cuts inside and unleashes a shot, which he successfully blocks. Tomori’s speed has also proved valuable to the Milan defence. Here, in the Coppa Italia match against Inter, he steps up in an attempt to play Lukaku offside, unaware that Diogo Dalot has remained deeper behind him. But by the time Inter work the ball to the feet of Nicolo Barella and are ready to involve Lukaku, Tomori is back in position and prepared. He beats the striker to the ball and recovers possession for Milan. This recovery pace was even more crucial in the 2-1 win over Bologna, who created several promising transition opportunities and frequently looked to attack space in behind Milan’s defence. Early in the match Danilo advances and hits an inviting low pass into the left channel for Barrow to chase. Tomori shifts into top gear, gets to the ball first and protects it from the striker, eventually playing it back to the feet of Gianluigi Donnarumma. Shortly before half-time, a poor touch from Calabria puts Tomori in the nightmare situation of having to worry about Barrow and Dominguez as Nicola Sansone prepares to play the ball to his right. Sansone finds Dominguez in a glorious position, but Tomori manages to readjust his body and scramble brilliantly to ensure his eventual shot is taken under severe pressure. Donnarumma makes the save. Tomori’s only notable mistake for Milan came in the Bologna game. Midway through the second half he opts to clear Andreas Skov Olsen’s cross with his right foot rather than his left, and slices the ball straight up in the air. Barrow is close to latching onto it, but Donnarumma reacts quickly to smother the ball. Overall though, Tomori has proven himself a capable deputy for Kjaer despite having precious little time to build chemistry with Romagnoli or the rest of his new team-mates. Kjaer was always likely to regain his place in the starting XI once he returned to full fitness, considering the huge influence he has had as a player and as a personality on the team’s startling rise under Pioli this season. “He’s one of the best centre-backs in Serie A,” Milan chief scout Geoffrey Moncada said of Kjaer earlier this season, “a really important player for the team. OK, (Zlatan) Ibrahimovic has changed lots of things but Simon has also given his contribution. He’s important to the project.” Tomori faces an uphill battle to break up the defensive pairing that has helped propel Milan to an unlikely Serie A title challenge. But his early performances have put him in prime position to capitalise should the 31-year-old Kjaer suffer any further injuries or a drop in form. While not ideal, it is a markedly better situation than wasting any more time as fifth in the central defensive pecking order at Chelsea. It also carries with it the possibility of playing a real part in a historic achievement and winning his first senior trophy. When the loan deal was announced, many Chelsea supporters were dismayed to hear that Milan have an option to buy Tomori for £25 million, plus £5 million in add-ons. Their best hope is that the proposed fee is deemed unfeasible by the Italians, who reached a similar conclusion about Tiemoue Bakayoko in 2018-19. If that happens, there is no reason why he can’t return to Stamford Bridge more ready to succeed at his boyhood club than ever before. Tomori isn’t thinking that far ahead. After a nightmare 2020, he’s more focused on making up for lost time.

Projected rankings at the end of the season 2020/21 https://football-observatory.com/IMG/sites/b5wp/2020/wp325/en/ Issue number 325 of the CIES Football Observatory Weekly Post presents the points projected at the end of the season for teams from 22 leagues across Europe. The projection was calculated using a statistical model taking into account shots on target and from the box attempted or conceded, ball possession, as well as teams’ own passes and those of opponents in the opposite third of the pitch. According to this projection, Inter Milan would be crowned Italian champions 11 years after their last title, ahead of Milan AC (+2 points) and Juventus (+3). The biggest surprise would come from France, where Olympique Lyonnais would total 82 points, one more than Paris St-Germain. In Spain, Atlético Madrid would have to fight up until the end of the season against Barcelona (+3 points), while Bayern Munich in Germany should have a more relaxing season end. In the Premier League, Manchester City would outrank Manchester United by 14 points, with Liverpool at 3rd position ahead of Chelsea for the last Champions League spot. WBA would finish last, behind Sheffield United and Burnley, while Fulham would avoid relegation. Brentford and Norwich would total 89 points in the Championship, eight more than Swansea.

Josh Maja pounces as Fulham punish lacklustre Everton to glimpse safety Read more If that wasn’t painful enough for Carlo Ancelotti, the Everton manager fell victim at the weekend to one of the classic scenarios from the Comedy 101 playbook: somebody stole his safe. Having been removed from Carlo Mansions by two enterprising gentlemen in matching black clothing, a sartorial tribute perhaps to Neville Southall, the safe was subsequently dumped in a local car park. Fans of cheap metaphor and facile tactical analysis will be delighted to hear that the code had easily been cracked and the door was wide open.

Whatever, it’s the last thing the Everton boss needs. Now, when he should be planning ahead for Everton’s 22-man bench-emptying brawl with Liverpool next weekend, he’s got to go shopping for a big safe to put his safe in.

well yes! lolol

never said it did or did not the 'all lives matter' shit IS though for the preseason I already explained same for the bullshit 'blue lives matter' those motherfucking MAGA insurrectionists beat coppers ( killing 3 (2 via suicide as a result, the other one the beat to death with a fire extinguisher), injured 140, blinded some, some lost finders, etc), even at times beating them with poles with Blue Lives Matter flags on them they don't give a fuck about the coppers, they only like it when the cops are killing and beating us

Please do not push that racist 'all lives matter' shite my way the DEFAULT position in majority white counties is that by every measure, white lives are valued over black lives coppers have not been hunting down, brutalising, maiming, and killing whites in cold blood for centuries simply because they are white they DO do that with us PoC and the knee-taking IS a reminder of the hate and racism we people of colour face every day it is not like one day we can snap our fingers and stop being non-white (and why the fuck would we want to or have to do so anyway?) kneeling keeps it in people minds, the death and misery, the hate, the discrimination, the simple dehumanisation at every level we have suffered under for centuries and still do, still die because of, still are treated like shit over, so often based off nothing more than the colour of our skin

they can fuck right off
