Last season we were happy not to play conference league if we could not qualify for UCL because we thought that it would give our players much time to prepare for domestic games at the weekend. But now we are seeing relegation teams like Sunderland play midweek football and still come back at the weekend to bully Chelsea players who had been resting and you expect me to make excuses for them?
The last time Joao Pedro was injured, when he returned against Bournemouth he scored a brace and won man of the match.
Leeds United beware, there would be no mercy for you.
โWeโre going to repel the thugs, thereโs strength in numbers, they came to attack us when while waiting for Peter Obi, we wonโt allow themโ
Lagos thugs don buy market today !! 2027 elections will be hot!! No more rigging ๐ณ๏ธ
@Blue_Footy Anyone who is saying Alonso should have started Welbeck is just delusional because there was no way he would have affected the game, it would be like playing with one man down.
Real Madrid was not his fault actually because the players did not buy into his idea and he didn't have much time to implement it too.
No doubt he is a quality coach and he will come good.
He just needs to understand that this is Chelsea and he might not get much time to implement his ideas. He needs to start delivering results asap if not he will come under heavy fire from the fans.
Alonso's options were very limited and I think that's why he used Neto as a false nine.
It would have been stvpid to start either Emegha or Welbeck because they don't really offer anything in the match because of their current limitations.
So even though Neto was not the ideal striker, he was the best available option.
Blaming him for letting Jackson leave is not proper because he was the one who chose to leave, so it's not Alonso's fault.
@nectarSays He won't come cheap because he is a quality defender
As for whether he will continur his dominant performance in the EPL, I am confident he will.
