PRIDE OF LONDON

@iam_brau Honestly you deserve all the flowers. You know ball. Have always said it too that although Pedro is a better finisher, Jackson is a better striker, his hold up play and link up is too underrated. He knows how and when to release a passes, flicks, dribbling etc.

After watching Joao Pedro yesterday, you will understand why I said Nicholas Jackson is way intelligent more than him. Jackson intelligent is way superior to Pedro. Jackson stretches the backline, way better link up play and very quick. Pedro is very sluggish but he is a better goal scorer than Jackson

@NiiNiiFC Please release predicted lineup for tomorrow 🙏🏽 It’s really interest what formation we will be using. Am definitely not a fan of bad 3 🤦

If there was ever a time to use this Kid, Charlton is the perfect game Acheampong aint a RB, let Antwi cook tomorrow! Im sounding dismissive of Acheampong, im no expert and can be proven wrong, but my thinking was, at rb he inverts If Rosenior uses fullbacks to hold width and overlap more, can Josh do it the same? Potentially, ill humbly accept being wrong, just my initial take

@Blue_Footy I just never like 3 in the back system 🤦‍♂️

My projected XI and formation Liam Rosenior could use at Chelsea. He will like Neto as LWB like he's using Diego at Strasbourg. Joao Pedro could also play in the left pocket like Estevao in this like up. He likes a target man, so Delap could be favoured.

Manchester United under Ruben Amorim have mainly moved on from the calamity that reigned last season, but a draw at home against a historically bad Premier League side will stick in the craw. In 2025, some of the football was good, some of it bad, but most of it - such as the draw with Wolves - was uninspiring. 📝 @Ankaman616 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/69286…

@NiiNiiFC When I talk about your boy JP. You say he plays in his own temple😂😂 man can’t even control a ball. Honestly Jackson woulda offered us more in this game. The fact EM decided to sub in JP for Cole is criminal 😭 I wish we kept Jackson and just signed oshimen to compliment him.

Wes YOU did good tonight, but dont talk shit about us playing well tonight Fuck me, the loser mentality is coming back

@RealSBL @NiiNiiFC Thanks for that. Finishing can be worked on. His still young. I remembered how much I was hurt when he left. Man was making our attack make more sense than now. Honestly I don’t see Delap in games unless his getting yellow cards. SMH

The revisionism on Nico Jackson is making my head hurt Every single week was fail comps, write offs, criticisms and a general belief that it would be impossible for him to be World Class You weren't allowed to have any nuance without being a waffler Its taken narratives to flip based on a Delaps thats been out for 3 months and a Joao Pedro thats been overused, scored 2 less goals than Nico at same stage of season(whilst never having a Cole Palmer to play with) Now all of a sudden, appreciation is back? No laws of fairness or consistency in ball talk, its forever means to an end

@NiiNiiFC Olise and oshimen could have actually taken us to another level. I can’t believe we didn’t sign them. It still hurts tbh.

The shit I used to get for being outraged at us over fumbling this move, its these same man crying about the lack of ambition today!

@NiiNiiFC Always seen it. If you look at Jackson stat and eye test, you can see a player developing season by season. We have spent mills in the past to get strikers that didn’t even performed half of what Jackson did for us. I think JP and Jackson would have actually cooked together.

@davocusso you saying you always seen it? or you just seeing it now?

@LDNFootbalI Doesn’t mean shit! This brother is a downgrade to Jackson. It takes him a min to control the ball and runs like his head is heavy. On the long run, this brother can’t lead the line like Jackson did. I think Everyone forgot Jackson didn’t really have a back up striker to help him.

João Pedro has scored or assisted in 3 consecutive games… ✅

@_kobbyphocus your perceptive bro, Jackson offered us more, hold up play and link up play is so underrated. Palmer thrived because of his work rate and link up play. JP plays for himself, not free flowing and holds the ball too long and needs a min to think his next action which slows the game

Nicolas Jackson is never better than Joao Pedro.

@LDNFootbalI It’s 14 G/A not 16. And apart from the good goal he scored against Newcastle. His been average. Jackson offered us more. Stop hyping average!

16 G/A for Chelsea already… ✨

⚽️ Sam Johnstone (OG) ⚽️ Yerson Mosquera (OG) ⚽️ Viktor Gyokeres ⚽️ Maxence Lacroix (OG) ⚽️ Martin Odegaard ⚽️ Georginio Rutter (OG) Arsenal double their lead over Brighton as Georginio Rutter turns the ball into his net from Declan Rice’s corner. Out of their last six goals in all competitions, four have been own goals...

@FootballByVigi @TheBlueDodger @MrDomSmith Agree 😂

@TheBlueDodger @MrDomSmith That’s because Joao Pedro is NOT a STRIKER. He can be Palmer’s back-up for the CAM position at best. I reckon we sell him next summer tbh. He reminds me of Nkunku and Felix so much.

@NiiNiiFC Excuses for him. Like I always said, his a good player but honestly Jackson was better, offered us much help than pedro. @NiiNiiFC when will you agree his been short of anything we had in Jackson. I know you always wanna be right with Pedro but let’s be honest.

Good read A lot to factor in with the decline, played combinations of games as a 9/10 Played a few games when we were down to 10 men, fatigue crept in from being the only striker around But ultimately, i watch him and think there’s no one for him to combine with Not had enough mins to play with Delap, but been fleeting examples of him looking to quicken the pace with 1 touch play One of the biggest reasons behind his scoring at the start was Cole palmer In sorry, as a team we just aren’t pro striker with what we do. Does Enzo even unlock a man through at all? The threat is out wide and strikers fashioning moves then get crowded out The spurs game was the only game we were afford space and he showed what he can do We gotta do more to help strikers, it’s it not strikers needing to do more to help the team

@NiiNiiFC Enzo is way better than been used like Mount. Our coach is cursed with inverting so much that he doesn’t think about anything else! Enzo passing range is one of the best in the world. Just look at how Bayern uses Kimmich. D only coach who actually used Enzo correctly was Potter.

What's everyones thoughts on Enzo atm? Enzo made 17/21 passes last night vs Bayern Did we replace Mount and Gallagher just to use Enzo in that role? Bro, I was hoping we'd take a risk and move Enzo in the pivot with Moi in the 2nd half Enzo is WC because he can play so many roles in midfield, soooo many But, from a personal point of view, I don't like that the team doesn't need to utilise his passing strengths? We don't even tap into it a lil We saw signs vs Brentford on the weekend, personally this approach with Palmer in the middle was the one last night Atm, if maresca is gonna be here long term, are we better off profiling a legit LAM? I can see why Simons/ Kudus and Fermin were all looked at, lowkey, they could offer what Maresca wants in a true sense? Still alot left of the season to go, is there more to extract out of Enzo? Personally I'm hoping for a Holy grail that uses both, his old and current skill sets, but is that expecting too much?

@NiiNiiFC Gutted to see him leave. Jackson is so underrated. In my opinion Jackson and Joao pedro was enough.

It’s not even an obligation, we’ll be seeing Nico back here next summer Curious if he could technically force himself back into our team if it happens Let’s see what he learns at Bayern this season

🚨🦅 Benfica are actively trying to sign João Félix with talks now ongoing with his agent Mendes. Deal depends on Chelsea conditions but João will leave and negotiations expected to advance soon. Félix, keen on the comeback.

@FIabrizoRomano Can’t lie this transfer hurts!

@NiiNiiFC It’s funny you saying his a better Version of Jackson. They might have similar profile but his defo not better than Jackson. this fanbase have given up on him. Jackson just has to improve on is his finishing, shooting and heading. Kudus makes more sense than Joao honestly!

He’s just gonna be an absolute hit at Chelsea
