These pundits are absolutely 💯 sickening. If u really recap some of their careers they were rubbish compare to modern day footballers they speak about.
It wasn't that harsh... they said Chelsea did everything right... even gave Mudryk a fair go. Let's face it, he is so raw. One thing they missed was Cucurella and that tactical shift.
The agenda against Chelsea can’t be clearer. When Chelsea loses, Chelsea played bad. When Chelsea deservedly win, the other team played bad. Chelsea got it tactically spot on. Cucurella was brilliant. Chelsea spread the play with Mudryk and Madueke. Not one ‘Pundit’ mentioned it!
I’m Celtic hate Chelsea but yous will be a force next season, I know football everyone always putting yous down but trust me. Message back next year hail hail ☘️💚🏴
Jackson definitely needs to improve his finishing but if you actually objectively watch him play, he has bags of talent and a fantastic all around game. People very often forget he’s only 22 and in only his first season in England. But if you actually objectively watch him play, his first touch, dribbling, hold up play, combination play, pace, running the channels, and tracking back are all excellent. I genuinely believe Jackson is going to end up making a lot of reactionary pundits and fans who mock him look very silly. 14 goals and 5 assists, including 11 goals and 4 assists in the EPL. Those numbers would be much better if his finishing had been more clinical this season. But if you actually watch him play with no agenda or bias the talent and potential are very clearly there.
I been saying this. He's got better 1st year stats compared to Nunez. Imo he's better off coming in from the left wing position. Be interesting to see it with Nkunku next year playing as the CF
@Iamwhatyousayiam Nunez finished with 15 goals and 4 assists last year. Jackson has 14 goals and 5 assists with 4 games remaining. Virtually identical.
Chelsea won convincingly but pundits still looking for flaws in the Chelsea team. They forget that the team is growing with some players who barely had a preseason.
I don't get it. If Chelsea wins a game, according to ESPN, it's the opposition that didn't play but when Chelsea loses a game, it's their opposition that were better and Chelsea belongs to where they are("midtable"). Why?
PL is a farmers league with uneducated fans, and incompetent referees. I much prefer the fluid grace of La Liga and their highly educated fans who don't think high culture is 12 beers and 4 kebabs dribbling down their double chins.
@@rohithraman6488if you guys really listened to Ange other than the mate you will hear he's always been realistic about what can be achieved this season
ESPN forgot that Chelsea’s players are under 23, still many of them first starts away with Injuries. Reece, Fernandes, NKuku, Chilly, Lavia and Disasi, Oh and Colwill
Ange ran out of Prozac. He was moaning about refs after saying he never would, you can be sure Son will be pulling the gloves and shorts off keepers at corners soon 😂.
How ironic that when he’s under the pump coming off three losses straight and he still couldn’t resist saying Chelsea’s goal was a foul 😂😂. Ange mate You’re on record preaching about respecting the ref’s decisions 😂
@@loudmouthdiaries5188 Sarcasm is alright and I get it, no worries. About MU...they are not in Europe just like us and have only one extra game - the final compared to Chelsea in the FA cup and they got out of the EFL way earlier than us so...do the math.
If Chelsea gets enough motivation and unchallenging discipline, they'll be a real problem in the Premier league When they show up, they really show up, Their problem is the motivation
Jackson is raw, but he’s super young and adjusting to a new league. I’m actually impressed with how good he’s been this year. He will get better and can play LW too. He’s out scored Drogbas first season. Have patience.
@@Photosoflife Certainly know it better than you. Every ex top professional has said that he hasn't got what it takes to be a mediocre striker. But you obviously know better. 🤣🤣
@Photosoflife All American 🤣🤣 What a joke. I've probably played at a higher level than you 🤣🤣 A lot of my school friends played at the top level. Ever heard of Joe Cole? Lol
Fans aren't glazing over Spurs enough but they'll feel nostalgic years to come.. The only club who won prem as early as in October..tell me who's ever done that? Yeah Nobody What they're accumulating is extraordinarily astonishing Only one word can describe them-Sensational
All Spurs, "were tired", "ran out of energy", "weren't fully up for it this game".....Can you just say Chelsea played well today from the get go. Took 9mins in the video to say anything along those lines
Ange has done a great job until now but he has close to 0 adaptability. It's always like the wide players and inverted fullbacks combining to create a low cross opportunity, that's it!! They don't have other patterns of play. Never seen them take a long shot, cross from deep, quickly switch the play, use Richarlison as target man. So, that has made them very predictable. Defending set-pieces has been a real problem. Atm, it feels like even if they get better players in to suit this system, it won't win them anything because it's all the same. One thing is sticking to your principles and one thing is being stubborn and over confident, and it is going to that latter thing now. Still, finishing 5th is a good achievement but imo, they have been lucky at many times to finish on the winning side of end to end games (the home win against Everton to name one).
@@Iamwhatyousayiam Yes, with them yet to play City and Liverpool, it's possible but the other 2 games are against Burnley and Sheffield. They are on 60 points so idt Chelsea have a chance at all. The only race remaining now is the title race and the 6th spot, for the UEL spot between United and Newcastle, who are 1 point apart and play each other after 2 weeks.
Steve Nicol, "Spurs has run out of energy" .... it is near the end of the season, and in recent matches, opposition didn't feel threatened by Spurs' attack
It makes me chuckle whenever i think that Spurs (who never win anything and never look like winning anything) decide to build a huge great stadium expecting to win things. That money needed to be spent on the team rather than a shinny stadium to watch their team still win nothing.
It would be stupid to get rid of Poch. He is clearly making progress on a young squad that he didn’t choose. I am not comparing Poch to Klopp, Guardiola and Arteta but those coaches first year wasn’t good either. It takes time. If Chelsea had a better striker they also would be much higher.
Spurs are attacking team. Unfortunately they get next to no goal scoring chances 😂. They need keeper mistakes and rash penalty challenges. If Son isn't scoring they ain't. Its like Man U and Rashford last season. One man team.
Wow, are you telling me. As trash as we have been and with a coach that apparently has no clue, United is only 6 points away from an Angball playing Tottenham? These guys are unfair, they should be ripping Tottenham to shredds like they do United after every game
Tottenham fans pleading that big Ang should throw the game against City, as though they can beat City. Lol😅 Y'all cannot beat City, so there's no game to throw. Fulham has got a better chance at beating City, and as an Arsenal fan, that's the only club that gives me a little hope....not this shitty Tottenham Hotspur😂
Chelsea had 13 first team players out tonight which includes every one of the regular back four! These so called pundits talk about Newcastle's injuries but deliberately ignore that Chelsea have had at least eight players out every weekend since August. Not a big fan of Poch but it's impossible to build a coherent team with the constant concerns about squad health.
I've seen Jackson play against all levels of competition and no team has shut him down. He shuts himself down because he is simply NOT A striker. Make him a left winger and he will become one of the best in the EPL. Even an average striker would convert more chances from the center.
At last the left Chelsea's flank was playing. Mudryk was ignored but not as much as before. He really contributed as well as Madueke who is adding up to and makes his presence vivid and noticeable. The absence of Enzo probably proved right. Poch's efforts to create a team is still desperate. Some minor details are caught when players, for example, don't raise up a thumb to praise for a pass. Still a lot of work to do. But not with Conti ) Tottenham are in the downs, but ups are definitely coming. They are a great team anyway. Just probably need another spirit raiser like Kane.
The thing with chelsea right now is that they are RAW af... That is why when they turn up, they turn all the way up. They have probably been the best team to watch this season from a pure entertainment point of view. Their games against the others in the big six have been wild. They have literally had like 5 games of the season legit. Their players are too young and emotionally volatile which leads too all sorts of issues, their manager I don't think is the one to sort this out, they are all new to each other. With all that said though, if this team finally starts to click, MARK MY WORDS - It will be mayem for all the other teams in the prem.
We always knew this week was going to be the acid test and with no natural left back playing Emerson as a makeshift left back was always going to risky. But once again its set pieces that have been our undoing, Ange definitely needs to look at this as its costing us very badly this season and with games to come against Liverpool and City its going to cause a lot of problems
Ange potecoglou out!!! It makes no sense to plan the 23-24 season with just one tactic. Even though all teams already figured out how to destroy us, they were not prepared. It's not the players' fault. This is entirely the ange's fault. The tactic of not being able to defend against the opponent's counterattack by raising the line and opening up the space behind the defense even though there is no Udoggi is a really stupid tactic Ange Postecoglou OUT!!!
Rested for 15 days until arsenal last sunday and most of these are 24-5 and they are tired. Give me a break! When they are winning, big ange is well and good, but as soon as they run into a wall, the players lost interests and thought oh well its another season yo the norm, bo worry go again next season
I love how Mourinho is hated at the moment. Left Man U and all those years later he is still their most successful coach recently. Spurs kicked him out before the cup final that he would have most likely won and no one else succeeded with Spurs. Now Roma was happy De Rossi played attacking football in meaningless games but chokes during any important game due to lack of tactical knowledge and will probably go at some point next season. Only thing you need to do is to take out Pellegrini and Dybala to beat them. Happy football with no tactics. The owner of Spurs must have been only second to the owner of Napoli in terms of constant changing players and coaches without any success and falling out with everyone.
I feel people are getting distracted by the talk of the lack training on set pieces. The fact of the matter is Spurs have won 3 of their last 10 games. Postecoglou has been found out at this level. You simply can't believe playing gung-ho football and playing with a very high line will win you games. Oppositions at this level will always suss how a team operates and will then plan accordingly. Also can we not also forget that two weeks before the Arsenal game and all of people were of the opinion that they would punish Arsenal because of that significant time they had off compared to Arsenal.
These guys are scared to contradict themselves. They never said a single sensible stuff about Chelsea. Now they are too big as football gods to say they were wrong all along about Chelsea. We are Chelsea and We are HERE!!!!
Villa definitely going to Champions League They can lose 1 of their remaining match and draw another and still qualify Spurs have Liverpool & Man City matches they don't like they'll get 3 points from
There's no way Tottenham can be " tired 😩" after having a 14 day rest, nonsense analysis 😂😂😂 The issues are clear and crystal, Ange is 90% attacking but leaves everything exposed behind them... You go gangho in pl you're going to get clapped real quick...
Bruh did these guys only watch the highlights one guy said the battle between mudryk and Emerson was entertaining when they didn’t even play the same side
Seems like 5years ago when spurs we're top of the table this season Most pundits said they're gonna win the prem with big Ange Jamie ohara is crying somewhere now
I don't know why Spurs keep wasting their time with Richarlison, he was a waste of £50m, move on, stop shoehorning him in just because he's the only one listed as a centre forward. Son is their best player and when Richarlison was out injured their attack was much better with Son playing centrally. He needs to be put in positions where he can be scoring goals, but in Ange's system the wide players are stuck providing width which means Son doesn't get put into scoring positions. He isn't the kind of winger that beats his man with dribbling, he beats his man with pace, timing, and intelligence and is one of the best finishers in the league
Tottenham are not suffering from anything , Chelsea were better on the day and smashed them , the stats show Tottenham played better than us ...accept it and move on
The agenda against Chelsea, ManU/Ten Hag and Tuchel at ESPN is crazy. On the other hand Postecoglu and De Zerbi can’t do no wrong even when there form has fallen off a cliff
no excuse... its easy to criticize United but for teams like Liverpool and Tottenham everyone is on there side. lets be honest they have been found out.. that all out football style will only get so far remember Leeds... the shock tactics have run out
If you listen to these pundits, you would think Chelsea were a championship team and Chelsea barely defeated Tottenham. No talk of Chelsea. These pundits clearly have an agenda against Chelsea.
