CFC REF 💙

talkSPORT just COOKED Chelsea FC after getting slapped 3-0 by Everton FC Darren Lewis didn’t hold back: “This business model is failing Chelsea.” Darrrn Lewis basically said the whole “buy young, flip later” strategy is a mess. Danny Murphy went straight to the pitch problems: “No leaders, no control, too many red cards.” 🟥🟨 Both agreed that you can’t compete in the Premier League or UEFA Champions League with a squad full of potential but ZERO authority. ❌ Defence? No organiser ❌ Midfield? No control ❌ Discipline? Chaos And the manager? Just a shield for a broken system.. Big clubs build winners. The verdict? Until Chelsea FC balance youth with real experience, competing for titles like the Premier League or UEFA Champions League remains

@TouchlineX Bayern are spot on being careful with Kane's heavy workload, smart management to keep their star fit for the big games

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Harry Kane has been given permission to join the England national team later due to his heavy workload in recent weeks. Kane also has a demanding fixture awaiting with Bayern Munich after the International break. Besides, he had his minutes recently reduced due to calf issues.

@Sports_City247 Super Eagles kicking off camp in Turkey let's hope this sparks a strong comeback after an Afcon semi final elimination by Morocco.

@LiquidAy Arsenal monitoring a £100m Elliot Anderson with City and United also in the mix feels like classic transfer window noise. What will Arsenal do with the likes of Zubimendi and Nordgard if Elliott Anderson is signed

🚨JUST IN: Arsenal are reportedly monitoring Elliot Anderson, but face strong competition from Manchester City and Manchester United. The Nottingham Forest midfielder’s consistent performances and £100m valuation underline his growing reputation. However, with a packed midfield under Mikel Arteta, game time could be a major stumbling block. Will Arsenal really be willing to splash that kind of money given their current options. source: [Sky Sports]

@chelshubMedia Chelsea dominated football, their trophy cabinet is a proof

Chelsea tops European trophies in England for 25 years. Since 2000, Chelsea FC have delivered 21 major trophies — more than any English side. Chelsea – 21 Manchester City – 20 Manchester United – 18 Liverpool FC – 17 Arsenal FC – 9 That’s elite output. Proven winning structure over time. But here’s the real question — in today’s Chelsea, where is that value being created? @ChelseaFC | #CFC

@TouchlineX Senegal's appeal to CAS is a bold stand for football justice titles are won on the pitch, not stripped in boardrooms. If Morocco needs the Afcon they should win it on the field next year

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has confirmed the Senegalese Football Federation has appealed the decision to strip them of their AFCON title. Senegal have also requested an immediate suspension of the time limit to submit an appeal brief until the CAF decision is notified with full grounds.

@LiquidAy Arsenal's elite discipline under Arteta is a massive asset in the title race.

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Arsenal have the best discipline record amongst PL clubs this season. They have the lowest YELLOW CARD per match ratio and no RED CARD. Here is the list of Arsenal players with at least 5 YELLOW CARDS. 1⃣🇪🇸 Martin Zubimendi - 8 2⃣🇮🇹 Riccardo Calafiori - 7 3⃣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Myles Lewis - 6 4⃣🇳🇱Jurrien Timber - 6 5⃣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Declan Rice - 5 6⃣🇪🇸 Mikel Merino - 5 Is discipline costing Myles Lewis-Skelly and Riccardo Calafiori minutes at Arsenal? Compare that to William Saliba, 3216 minutes, just 2 yellows, and Bukayo Saka, 2000+ minutes, only 1. Is availability and discipline now as important as talent in selection?

@LiquidAy Resting the fatigued Zubimendi after his heavy workload is logical, but jumping to pair Rice with the inexperienced Myles Lewis-Skelly over the proven, EPL-tested Norgaard in a critical title push seems like pure fan wishful thinking

🚨JUST IN: Calls are growing for Mikel Arteta to rest Martin Zubimendi after signs of fatigue and inconsistent form in midfield. The suggestion is to partner Declan Rice with Myles Lewis-Skelly, offering energy and a different dynamic in the run-in. It raises a major debate, should Arteta trust Miles Lewis-Skelly in the midfield to give Zubimendi a deserved rest?

@MrWills96 Messi is magical on the ball , No one comes close when it comes to ability with the Ball even Ex and present players agree with this

🗣️ Marco Reus🇩🇪: "After all these years, he still surprises us! Messi is Messi, enough! About the magic goal: When he entered in the second half, I felt danger looming. Then suddenly, a heavy-caliber goal! The shot was with insulting precision! Even after the injury, his movement was as if he knew where the ball would go before everyone else. How can a man see and create all this in minutes? I was watching him closely. There are no weak points! Whenever you think you have closed him down, he surprises you with an unimaginable move. If it were any other player, I would have said he was lucky, but he is Messi, it is normal for him! At the end of the match, I whispered to him: Are you sure you are human? He smiled innocently as he say: This is just the beginning! The man does not stop proving that excellence is a habit, and miracles are routine. He is Messi!"

@TouchlineX @le_Parisien It's an outstanding achievement for Desire Doué . Signing such a huge deal despite being so young

🚨 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗜𝗡: Desire Doué is now a NIKE athlete! He has signed a contract with NIKE for just under €2 million per year. — @le_Parisien

@LiquidAy Zubimendi covering insane ground on limited minutes absolute beast mode in his debut season, but he is also being dragged by Arsenal fans for not doing enough. Arteta needs to rotate him before fatigue comes knocking.

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Top 5 Players with most distance covered in the PL this season. 1⃣ Elliot Anderson 342.39km 2⃣ James Garner 339.34km 3⃣ Morgan Rogers 338.25km 4⃣ Sander Berge 331.96 5⃣ Martin Zubimendi 329.90 Martin Zubimendi has played fewer minutes in the PL than the top 3 and has covered more grounds than any other PL player in all competitions. He's in his first season and clearly FATIGUED. source: [Premier League]

@Blesing_Andrew Benjamin Sesko has found a way to score goals with the help of Michael Carrick. He needs to work harder to become a starter in Manchester United.

🔴🗣 JUST IN | Dimitar Berbatov on Benjamin Šeško: “He has all the qualities right now : everything in this moment is working well with him. I hope it continues this way.I like that he’s building confidence gradually, because goals and confidence go hand in hand. He’s finding his place in the team, and even off the bench he brings real threat and fear to opponents. It’s great to see him scoring, whether he starts or comes on. It doesn’t matter how the goals come, as long as they go in. Once he reaches that level of confidence where he steps onto the pitch expecting to score, that’s when he’ll be at his best.” [Via @MUFCScoop ]

@ConnCFC Chelsea’s DM blessings: Makélélé pioneered elite positioning & recycling; Essien was the “Bison” with raw power & box-to-box dominance; Kanté brought superhuman stamina & endless pressing; Caicedo delivers tackling & progressive passing. This is rare for a club to have had.

Blessed in midfield throughout the years 💙

@_phocus1 He has the highest goal miss in laliga Chelsea don't need another Nikolas Jackson
