Vesper

It's a joke that the Old Firm keeps playing in the shambles of a league that is the SPL Celtic and Gers need to bail and go into the EPL

they have many players I rate Gianluigi Donnarumma Alessio Romagnoli Theo Hernández Sandro Tonali Ismaël Bennacer Ante Rebic Rafael Leão <<< he is so improving and of course, lol Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Thiago Silva feels “a bit more relaxed” at Chelsea than at PSG Speaking in an interview with Esporte Interativo, Chelsea central defender Thiago Silva described his new club as being a bit more relaxed than former employers PSG. “For me, it would have been difficult to do another year with all this pressure to win the Champions’ League. I am changing scenery a bit and I feel a bit more relaxed. Not to say that there isn’t pressure, pressure is the same. I play for a great team that is looking for titles.” https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2020/thiago-silva-feels-a-bit-more-relaxed-at-chelsea-than-at-psg/

wow

Kai who?

different types of players Camavinga is a unique player super athletic and technical can play almost anywhere would not be shocked it he was a cracking left fullback as well but for sure he can play DMF (both trad and deep holding) Roaming destroyer in a double pivot (like Kante, but Camavinga is bigger, far better passer, far better shooter) CMF AMF RMF and LMF RW/LW (he is left footed but almost ambipedal) hell Rennes even played him a false nine for a spell in one game I saw Rice would be a partner for Camavinga (ie taking Zakaria's place, UNLESS Rice is moved to CB <<< a Rice and Upamecano CB pairing could be amazing in theory)

this aged well

Leno playing like Kepa

ffs, 2 more massive howlers by Leno and Rapid fucked them up and now Arse have banged in 2 1 2 goonas

4 4 2 as a change up option Mendy Thiago (for his last year) with Theo Hernandez as his backup/rotation and also backup LB Upamecano with Tomori as backup Chilwell Reece Azpi Double Pivot Zakaria and Camavinga AMF/CMF Kai and Ziyech (Kova when we need a more robust presence) SS Dybala CF Werner Puli and Gilmour and Mount and Tammy and CHO as needed

lol Leno with a howler 1 nil Rapid

Zakaria and Upamecano are my two number one targets my list is simple (not saying we move for every postion) I leave Rice out, no clue what we want to do with him (DMF? CB?) GK Oblak or Donnarumma (IF Mendy doesn't work out) CB we need to buy two of the following Dayot Upamecano <<<< MUST Buy + José Giménez or if not Giménez (manly due to his cost), Matthias Ginter or Evan N'Dicka (left footed) or Edmond Tapsoba LB/LCB (which alienates the 2nd CB buy above) Theo Hernandez DMF Zakaria next summer for the cruncher DMF plus Camavinga for the roamer, or if he is Real Madrid or Barca-bound (what everyone tells me) then go for the next best things, Boubacar Kamara or Bruno Guimarães or Ismaël Bennacer or finally the last of those 4 for me in terms of my preference, Boubakary Soumaré CMF (not saying we buy any, but these following are amongst the only ones who interest me) <<< Camavinga can play here as well Saúl Ñíguez Aouar Verratti Ryan Gavenberch Jude Bellingham Agustín Almendra (20yo, soon 21yo from Boca Juniors) RW Gabriel Veron 18yo from Palmeiras SS/Winger Dybala don't see us making moves for Sancho or Håland or (obviously) Mbappe Paulo Dybala on Blues radar following Juventus role https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/chelsea-transfer-round-up-paulo-22871198

Wednesday October 21 2020 Matt Law's Chelsea briefing Could Thiago Silva be the ideal partner for promising Fikayo Tomori? By Matt Law, Football News Correspondent It is just over a year since Fikayo Tomori made his England debut against Kosovo following an impressive start to last season, but many Chelsea fans have been left wondering what has become of the intelligent central defender. Tomori has not started a Premier League game since February and almost joined Everton and West Ham United on loan during the summer transfer window. The 22-year-old would be riding high at the top of the table as part of Carlo Ancelotti’s Everton side had Antonio Rudiger not fallen out of favour with Chelsea head coach Frank Lampard. Rudiger’s situation meant that Lampard blocked a season-long loan switch to Everton for Tomori and by the time it became clear the German would not be leaving, the Merseyside club had signed Ben Godfrey instead and a potential move to Fulham was blocked by Ruben Loftus-Cheek’s loan switch to Craven Cottage. West Ham made a last-minute move for Tomori, but the former Derby County loanee did not want to be rushed into something he was unsure about and West Ham manager David Moyes did not give him any guarantees over playing time. That has left Tomori on Chelsea’s substitutes’ bench for now, but the way in which Chelsea conceded three goals against Southampton once again raised questions over whether or not he should be given a chance from the start. This column was written before Chelsea’s Champions League game against Sevilla, but, even accounting for the fact Thiago Silva may be emerging as Lampard’s first-choice defender, there is a case to be made for Tomori. Statistics do not provide an exact science and it should be pointed out that Opta, who crunched the numbers for this newsletter, could not differentiate between when Lampard has played a back four and switched to a back three. But it is interesting that, since the start of last season, Tomori has been part of two of Chelsea’s three most successful partnerships, whether it be as part of central two or a three at the back. He has only played four games with Rudiger, but Chelsea won three of them, losing once, giving them the club’s best central defensive win percentage of 75 per cent. In terms of goals conceded, the duo score slightly lower together with an average of 1.3 per match. Tomori has played with Kurt Zouma most regularly (17 times) and, in the same team, the defenders have a win percentage of 58.8 per cent and rate as Chelsea’s second best in terms of goals conceded with 20 working out as average of 1.2 per game. In his six games with Andreas Christensen, Tomori also has a goals-against ratio of 1.2 per game and that is only bettered by Zouma and Rudiger, who, in 14 games, have only conceded at a rate of one goal per game with a win percentage of 64.3 per cent. These statistics do not account for the quality of opposition or other in-game factors, but they do suggest that Tomori has every right to feel he deserves another opportunity from the start and that was underlined by his performance as a substitute against Liverpool after Christensen had been sent off. He also kept a clean sheet on his one and only start with 36-year-old Silva so far, and, while it may have come against Championship club Barnsley in the Carabao Cup, many Chelsea fans would like to take a look at how the pair’s youth and experience might complement each other in the Premier League.

Lamps is my number one concern. He is in over his head atm. He does crazy things. Zouma terrifies me. I wish Rudiger would get a run of games with Thiago. I hate the Kante/Jorgi double pivot. God help us if Chilwell goes down. Mount should NEVER play winger again. Kepa should be removed to the U23's. Am oki with the rest.

PSG were pure pure dogshit though, Manure was hardly brilliant

oh, hellllll no that cunt Bruno missed the pen, BUT Manure got to take it over, ffs idiot Navas off the line

I dread the Manure game I hate them so much, especially the way they get gifted a truly staggeringly historical amount of pens, most NOT deserved and many coming from that rotten cheat diver Bruno, who is fast becoming my most hated player in the EPL, after Hendo on the dippers (and can pass that berk up soon) he has that rat faced, rat fucking overbite, like chomper Suarez (and both are racist as fuck too), that makes you want to strap on the old bovver boots for a quick jaw breaker all that said I am surprisingly not crazy vexed about tonight, as we got a clean sheet
