The cast should start to score for a change…. since Jackson is now tired of caring them.

Imagine Tosin already out scoring all the cast. Omo……We need to send Sterlings younger brother back to Manchester, while we offload lil baby and Ben Johnson to any team in MLS or send them to Strasbourg.

The question is, how did the cast cause Jackson to be missing big chances?

So Chalobah that we have watched for years has suddenly developed into a beast of a defender that will lead the lines to challenge for major trophies next season?

We need to be smarter than this, God!!!. Must we suffer mediocrity every season Nawao.


Walai his performance yesterday was more than what the Monaco twins have been serving us


Plus he was injured for most part of last season

If Renato Veiga leaves, we will still need a new left back. I said we needed one and we signed one.

And you keep skipping the 'for now' in my statement. Chalobah is decent but not adequate long term.

We never needed Veiga as Maresca even preferred Gusto as LB and i see it as waste of resources, while the lack of quality striker continues to drown us.

And we continue conceding foolish goals because we have a brainless git in goal and a complete circus at centre back.

Accepting our problems are not singular continues to be your biggest blindspot.

When you score 75 goals and concede a record number of goals, you don't need a soothsayer to know which one is the major problem.

When you've won only 1 game by a 1-0 scoreline, you don't need a soothsayer to know which is the major problem.

How many clean sheets we don keep this season?

PRIOR to our bad run we were top 2 for goals scored in the division despite the dysfunctional attack


Even now we're t second with City on 44 goals but we've conceded the highest number of goals in the top 6 aside City that everybody was beating like thief for almost 2 months. Even Bournemouth have conceded less than us

This despite the 'dysfunctional' attack and lack of a sharp striker.

This with the Colwill, Fofana, Chalobah, Cucurella, James and Gusto that you said we needed.


Omo. If after this, you still think g a striker is a bigger issue than the way and manner we dey drink goals like Four Cousins, I no Sabi again my chief ☺️

Chalobah is miles ahead of all the criminals we currently parade in that CB position. From Tosin, Dasasi, colwill, badshile to Dr Fofana. He is our best CB currently! He was our best CB before the oloriburukus sent him away to Palace.

Plus he is happy to be a squad player for when the club gets your preferred elite CBs.

Yes, he is better than most of our defenders but he is not quite what we need to challenge on full throttle. Knowing this stupid club, they might decide not to buy any CB cos of a few positive results and we will be back to square one next season.

Sending him out on loan to balance books isn't where the problem is, the problem is buying Tosin and Viega while leaving Disaster there. If we had bought a very good CB, we wouldn't be recalling him.

Injuries have been our problem in the defence and before Fofana went on injury, we weren't conceding more than 1 goal in most of our matches unlike last season. I pointing this out that period and you weren't this vocal.

Sending Chalobah out was a blunder when i was hammering it that both Disasi and Badiashile wouldn't be starting like they did last season, with the return of Fofana and Colwill. The two were doing well and we were in top 4 and you weren't reeling out the goals conceded like you are doing now.

Even our last 5 matches before yesterday's, a better striker would have won us those games and we wouldn't have been here talking about defence conceding. If we buy another CB and we are still useless upfront, we will still bite our fingers, as defence will still concede. Even Nottingham forest with solid defensive formation, conceded 2 goals against Onuachu and Aribo, but they have a better finisher in Wood, who contributed to the 2-goal cushion to put the match beyond the reach of the saints, with the late charge.

Jackson in place of Woods in that Nottingham Forest, they will be playing with the red devils close to the dungeon of the league table.

So you believe we are going to win the league with Chalobah as starting CB. We need to start becoming realistic. Chalobah is 25 and in his peak years. Question is, which Top club's CB is he better than? Even 17 year old Curbasi is way better than he is.

As things stands now, striking the barren Sancho, Neto and Jackson out of that starting 11 will guarantee Top 4. It seems we solved our attacking problems from last season with barren attackers, all thanks to Boehly.

German league is more like friendly games, it is the reason most players from there flop in epl, they can’t keep up with the intensity if not I don’t see why Nkunku will be on the bench for Jackson with his poor scoring ability.

I understand your perspective. To be honest, I see him more as a squad player that we can always rely on. We can both agree that having reliable squad players is crucial, especially when it comes to depth in the team. Also, addressing the need for better CBs and a goalkeeper is definitely important for strengthening the overall performance of the team. Do you have any specific players in mind that you think would be a good fit?

Messi and Ronaldo lost PKs before, no biggie.

Haaland has been carrying those tired legs since the season started and it's normal for the burden to tell on him as it is right now. Haaland has 13 goals, while no other City player has even 5 goals.

He is not even a number 10, he is a ing striker at best and should be able to play as Striker if not that he lack that tenacity and ground covering upfront.
All these ones you are saying are stories. We all saw him during pre season and how well he played as a number 10, even the manager said it that it's just unfortunate that there is a better player at the number 10 role.

Yes, Chalobah is only good as a squad player, same as Colwill. If Fofana can sort out his injury problems, I don't mind pairing him with Inter's Bastoni. Statistically, we conceded less when Fofana was fit and I consider him a good defender. With him and Bastoni, we can comfortably play out from the back and also be physically dominant.

I don't trust James and his oversized body so we should be looking at getting another RB.

Booting Enzo out of that midfield should be considered top priority. Having him and Palmer in a midfield of 3 is disaster. Offering Tonali increased wages would motivate him to jump ship.

I wonder what we were doing when PSG took Kvara; oh! We were busy chasing that low IQ scummy winger Garnacho. We can pull off a coup and snatch Rodrygo from Real Madrid as I can sense he isn't happy with his position at Real Madrid.

This season should be the final season Jackson starts a game for us in any important match. If we can't get Isak, we can go for Gyokores or if the financial burden becomes too much, we can settle for Jonathan David.

Sanchez should be deported back to the slums of Guyana while we get Milan's Maignan. At least, he is decent at ing and very solid in shot stopping.

I'm not sure if you kept up with him during his time at Leicester, but that guy definitely has some issues with concentration and awareness. Honestly, the only thing Fofana really has going for him is his pace, but what's the point of that if he's a permanent patient aka Dr Fofana?

You see that pace and aggression? You cannot coach it. That's why he's a very good fit for this system.
It's not a coincidence we began conceding more when he got injured.

You'd often see Kanoute and VDijk bailing him out, or the manager removing him for like Bradley when they are getting to hold on to a lead

I guess TAA doesn't bail those two out as well. Do you know Bradley before this season?

Chelsea are set to hold more talks for Garnacho this week, as well as Tel and Gittens, before deciding whether to submit a bid for any of them. #CFC are also looking at ST for the summer but could accelerate. Delap and Sesko of interest. (@Matt_Law_DT)
