Magic Lamps

Nah. He might be one of the better tempo dribblers behind Sane, Salah, Mane and Sterling. But technically in terms of touch and close control I would say David Silva, Bernardo Silva, Mahrez and maybe even Kovacic are better.

I like how Schalke, Nürnberg, Mainz and Hamburg outcast Choupo Mouting is PSGs best player.

No for a joke release clause of 30m

Yup but what does he even offer as a backup? I mean there is nothing he is particularly good at nor is he defensively rounded enough. I dont mind him sticking around for homegrown quota. But he really has become kind of midfield William minus the toxic attitude. No effect on either end.

This is his 3rd season as a Chelsea player. He has not developed for 4 yeara now in his career or regressed if anything. If he does not make a breakthrough on the next 8 month we should sell him. Being english and shit he could well bring 30m+. We could well use the cash to fund better players in positions we are not as stacked as in his.

I agree. Rows, overhead press and scapula raises work well. I would add pull ups and chin ups as well All of the above should be in every serious routine workout anyway in some capacity Reverse flies/face pulls work for some people who want some additional work I have never had any effect of direct neck/ trap work as in shrugs tho Add some stretching/mobility exercises and isometric gymnastics on a swiss ball to round it off. But it is also important to simply mind ones posture when walking around

All our tradirional wingers are quick enough I guess but Willian is just so poor, i rather have a player who has actual end product on that position. I agree you need a quick player either side. So you saw Emerson pushing high up the pich. He has got pace to burn albeit no end product as well he stretches play. We will be fine anywayonce CHO comes back. I think the wing positions for Lamps are more like no 10s. One always plays rather narrow and the fullbacks make the width.

Puts Zouma's error vs Manure in perspective. Torrid display from Luiz today but tbf did we expect anything different? we all know he has games like this every now and then and is not getting any younger. Still we should not make the same error as before and replace him accordingly as soon as we get the chance.

Spot on. Tammy was selected for that penalty because he is an experienced penalty taker. He failed miserably. To be fair, the penalty against the loss after everyone else has scored is by far the hardest penalty you can take in a shootout. I am still in the Tammy is not good enough brigade, desptie his two amazing finishes today but until Batshuayi is fit, Tammy is probably our best option. If he scores or play great after the international break vs Wolves and Liverpool I might reconsider my opinion. till then two well-taken goals dont make a summer.

except that Kante and Azpi are 28 and 29 respectively. Rather would have Rüdiger in place of Azpi too.

Clearly one of his worst performances in a Chelsea shirt The first Nowrich goal is 30% on Christensen who stand still when their player is running at him and then does not follow the off-the ball run and 70% on Barkley who does not get across Cannant or some meaningful contact in despite being the way bigger man. For tthe second goal I have to retract my prior verdict. This is again to 60% on Christensen who fails to play Pukki offside, Zouma had made the step to do so but then should have come across more quickly and somewhat disturb pukki in the shot legally, so it is maybe 15% on him and 25% on Kepa being off his line. I am sure he would have kept it out just standing at the post with PUkki no angle to aim at. Christensen also lost the duel with godfrey when they hit the crossbar.

As much as i rate them. They are a tier below salah kdb in terms of talent and cho is still not signed. We as fans we will outlast any generatipn of players and we won titles in spite of these decisions so no need to be bitter

Yes he was poor today and is probably just an average player anyway. But Alonsos lack of pace and positional discipline makes him an absolute liability. Emerson is a brilliant athlete with flawless work ethic albeit erratic in his final ball and shooting.

I had somewhat made my peace with it as long ad we had hazard i was telling myself. Hazard de bruyne salah they cant play together all three so we at least kept the best. Now hazard is gone and the other two are still going strong and have elevated City and esp Pool to the 2 best sides in world football atm. So my anger is back. i imagine those 3 would probably have won us the CL together under any decent manager

DL at it again. And we sold Salah for 15 fucking million

Gendouzi is an absolute catastrophe. What a poor player. Must in an epl flop list

Typica Sideshow. Completely needless pull of the shirt

draw is clearly the best outcome this early in the season. if they draw twice it is just 4 points exchanged between them on aggregate other than 6 if it is two wins.

Same number of points as Utd now

For van aanholt to score. incredible game. Agent van aanholt

5mins for what. The trend towards excessice stoppage time is alarming

That was poor defending

Lol James now even gets booked for fouls on him. The refs really should keep that up.

Lol we cant buy one, they cant score one
