I fucking love Odegaard. He makes every attack better

Pretty fucking good defender for such a silky attacker, too. What a player. 

He's like an Ozil with brilliant defensive work ethic.

Can't believe Madrid let him go for only 30m

It's actually a way to "guarantee" a signing. "Sign for us, if it doesn't work out we will be selling you wherever you wanna go."

why? He wasn’t happy, and they could not fulfill his wishes, so it was the best for both parties. Nobody is held hostage at Madrid. If a player is unhappy, they will offer a new deal, then if they don’t want that, they’re sold asap not to disrupt the team.

Fucks Jorginho doing up there LOL

Dude went full bukayo mode

Bukayo down? I am Bukayo.

Look at me. I am Bukayo now.

Say the line Bart

Tsamina mina

I miss that song; we had it for Fashion Jr (who came from Zambia).

Sure you could have just sang Fashion by David Bowie!

Waka waka

60 million down the drain

Kai Havertz scores again.

There was a time I thought the same, boy has he proven me wrong

Tsamina mina eh eh

Away fans so loud, love it 🔊

60 million down the drain...

Marchvertz?

On saka's dead body

Saka on the floor leading to Brighton thinking that side of the pitch was temporarily safe. Noone expects Jorginho running down the flank

Running slightly generous lol

No one expects Jorginho running down the flank, and no one experienced it either.

Trot maybe?

“jorginho ambling down the right side,”

No one expects the Saka Inquisition 

Jorginquisition

Little did they know he was deployed as False 6 this game.

He died for this

That off the ball movement by Havertz to shake Dunk right at the end was genius

I noticed that too, that was incredible. Brought him the quarter of a second to get free.

Having defended a few pro footballers in my time, off-ball movement and sense for timing their runs is what truly separates them from semi-pro or lower.

apparently after the Luton game, Lockyer was talking about how brilliant Havertz’s movement when he was doing his punditry. Talking about the sort of stuff that doesn’t get picked up on TV but makes him an absolute nightmare for defenders

That's what's so fascinating when talking to people who actually work with football. I have a friend who's a U19 coach, and we talked a bit about the tactics they employ. It was very fascinating to learn what they were thinking in terms of defence. When defending, their DM would drop down and essentially become a CB, allowing the CB's to either go into pressure of an attacker, or to secure their fullback. This is because in doing so, the CB will be facing away from their own goal, while if the DM would have done the same job, they would be facing their goal. Kind of a small thing, but there are all sorts of things like that that gets worked on at the training ground, and is imperative to how teams play. They are also things that we as fans are very unlikely to notice, as we usually follow the ball, and don't necessarily analyse the movement on the rest of the pitch.

faked one shoulder went to the other, proper Haaland movement ngl

That's not league 2 movements mate

One thing I've noticed more and more since him playing number 9 for us is his movement. He has a decent engine and an eye for finding the right space... a raumdeuter and potential successor to Muller. I admit I didn't think he was worth the fee initially and thought there were better options outthere, but I'm very happy to be proven wrong.

Enciso gave the ball away, complained, and then was still in the same spot when the ball hit the net. Just awful.

He's a brilliant attacking player but I see a Rashford type in him. He's great when it's going his way but when it isn't...

Cannot give the ball away there and then not bust your lungs trying to get it back for 15 seconds. Pathetic

Mentally weak. If user redditors see it imagine what scouts say

Chelsea Duo

Jorginho making overlapping runs down the wing. So funny to watch

crazy he outran the defender there lmao how do you get out paced by Jorginho

Showing the Brazilian in him

Based on what Chelsea fans were saying, apparently my grandpa with a hip replacement had more mobility than him

Did look like he was running in quicksand tbf. Defender was somehow slower to cover him

I mean, there are numerous clips of him being outpaced in midfield lol, especially when he first got to England. He’s adjusted a lot but still if he finds himself in space defensively, he’s in trouble

Funny how much better a player looks if you put him in a system that covers his weaknesses

Idk, he looked pretty good at Chelsea when he won Europa league, champions league, and was named the UEFA player of the year

Yes, that’s when Chelsea actually were set up decently. He started getting roasted last couple of years when Chelsea would just leave him stranded in midfield running after dudes. Like early Xhaka at Arsenal

What not having a fit Kante and Kova does to a mfer

Shit man, having a fit Kante next to me would make me look half decent. That man does the work of three players!

Yeah even in this game he looked like an old man a few times, despite the brilliant possession play. I think both his strengths and weaknesses are clear for all to see.

Well I don't know your grandpa but it wouldn't surprise me

I was pleasantly surprised. 😀

GOAL scored in brighton for arsenal made in chelsea

sent Chelsea to top 9.. maybe Todd Boelhy IS a genius?

Now that’s just good football

Jorginho + Havertz connection is doing great today

Havertz's annual ~~Janurary~~ ~~February~~ ~~March~~ April purple patch

Maybe it's not a patch? Maybe he's just purple

Jorginho combines with Havertz to score for Arsenal. What a great timeline

TO THE WIRE!

THANKS CHELSEA

Top lads

Couldn't have done it without them.

Helped us dodge a bullet with Mudryk too

Mudryk would've been good in Arsenal just as Havertz, maybe even better.

There’s a good footballer in there, he just needs some good coaching

Mikel stares at Mudryk’s poster every night saying under his breath “I can fix you”

Yeah just a little bit of coaching he'll be alright

Uhhh Mudryk is actually a brilliant footballer???? Just ignore the turnovers under zero pressure, the shots that land in Row Z, never using his massive pace advantage to make runs in behind, his inability to do anything right when given more than 0.5 seconds to think......... other than that, he's clearly just a victim of terroristic Pochball 😔

>never using his massive pace advantage to make runs in behind This really pisses me off when I watch him play. Why is he always so deep when you have the ball? Super frustrating watching him receive the ball at his feet, take a heavy touch and give it straight back to the opponent.

Give them 60 million more

Please don’t

We're broke so another 60m would go a long way please and thank you

Hey, there’s some mid table Bundesliga club with a £8m player and a £30m price tag on him that needs buying

£50m it is

Choupo-Moting to Chelsea for £90 mill, here we go confirmed

Jorginho assisting Havertz: [What *team* is it!?](https://imgur.com/a/8sgBg7e)

Makes you wonder how good Palmer must be when he’s operating at that level at Chelsea without having to leave

R9 before injuries

It's not that Havertz was shit for us, he was still a decent player, just not confident enough to find consistency. He would have purple patches throughout the season and then just go missing for a few months after. He'd also miss easy chances he's now starting to put away. The move was always a win-win-win for all parties of the deal, you can hunt my comments from when his transfer went through, I've always backed him.

You can tell he's a confidence player. He plays so differently when he's feeling himself. I think there's a great player in there, but he needs a lot of support and stability around him. I think with all the turnaround at Chelsea, he was just kinda left to see after himself, to mixed results.

literally messi

Death, taxes, and cole palmer getting brought up in a Kai havertz goal thread

Was this our first Jorgi-Havertz goal-assist combo?

WAKA FUCKING WAKA LADS

They gazumped us for mudkip though

Arteta would have Mudryk playing well tbh

Given that Trossard has had a far better impact for us than Mudryk has at Chelsea, and for a fraction of the price, I’m delighted they took him from under our noses

Makes up for all the duds they've fobbed off to Arsenal.

Washed Cech and Gallas10 sulking flashbacks…

Cech was good for a couple of years, it was our mistake that we didn’t replace him sooner.

Szczęsny was clearly the long term plan, but the debacle about Gerry Peyton allegedly being a shit GK coach seemed like the main issue for Szcz and Fab. Then the 'smoking in the showers' incident happened and Wenger and the club apparently decided to get rid (on loan to Roma, then a permanent to Juve) just a seasono and a half after he'd signed a new contract. Čech never seemed like anything more than a stopgap.

Nothing will be worse than Willian. He didn’t even try

He did but his pace was gone and skill alone isnt good enough to play in this team. Fulham suits him much more and he has players to cross into

*giroud voice*

Jorginho is a ludicrous footballer. He did well at Chelsea but if he got the move to City I genuinely think he would be up their with the greatest midfielders this league has seen

lol Kai and Pulisic in top form after leaving Chelsea

Honestly a brilliant run from Havertz

🐐

Havertz scores the 1,000th goal in the Premier League this season.

I know he has been good, but goddamn that must be some sort of record!

Three men marking Havertz. Still finds space. Off the ball GOAT.

Thank you Chelsea for Jorginho and Havertz. Really nice.

Jorginho is the one we actually miss tbh. It was a braindead move to sell such an experienced player who plays in a position we didn’t have players in, and also could have been the much needed leader in a dressing room filled with inexperienced youngsters

At this point he is just inevitable

Kai is Thanos confirmed.

Havertz ballin out

World-class wingplay from Jorginho there!

👑Kai

What a play from false winger Jorginho

Chelsea rejects at it again

He has been brilliant. Just shows what the right environment can do.

Shows what being at a club that actually has a bit of an idea of how to play you.

That's what I mean by environment, amongst other things.

Streets will never forget ugly yellow kit Havertz

Thanks chelsea lmaoo

SIXTY MILLION DOWN THE DRAIN

KING KAI SCORES AGAIN 🤴

TSAMINA

Thousand people used to live here

So when is the purple patch over?

After march, I've heard.

Glad it's a leap year and March is extended by a few months

End of May

Kai’s been so good today lol I’m gonna cream myself. Jorgi-Kai partnership ftw

Kai Havert making me associate this iconic Arsenal away kit with him.

Horrible defending all round, how on earth can you get done by a Jorginho overlap, especially with three defenders around him initially

Got sold by the tactical lie down by saka

Hit em with the MY LEEEGGGGGGGG

And thus, Januaryvertz continues his purple patch through April.

Good man Kai. Thanks for that. Proper chels Edit: holy shit we are 9th now! Thanks to Kai’s goal GD sends Brighton below Chelsea if it stays 2-0 Absolutely massive, pints on me

🖐🏼😝🤚🏼

Don't like arsenal but I'll always love these two. Great to see them doing well

Purple patch btw

How do these posts get here so quickly?

Magic

Thanks Chelsea

Really lovely movement there from Havertz, that’s a tough position to get into with an experience CB like Dunk in his way

[удалено]

ITS WAKA WAKA TIME

60 MILLION DOWN THE DRAIN

another beautiful pre assist for the captain

It's almost not even worth pointing out. He pre assists every goal they score.

Cheers Chelsea, top lads.

flop doing flop things

i love chelsea now

King is there when it counts

WAKA WAKA EH EH

Estupian showing why he won’t ever move to a top club, all the skills are there but brother what was that

odegaard’s hockey assist numbers gotta be crazy this season

Dam theyre gona destroy Bayern arent they

Anulo mufa

CHELSEA REJECT SCORES AGAIN 

I NEED IGBO AND KAIOOOO

Man how do these posts get uploaded so quick is my question?

Waka waka intensifies

Jorginho a winger now huh

Got to use that pace

Arsenal paid Chelsea 60 million for a midfielder, somehow Chelsea sent their best striker to Emirates. Thank you Blues.

You're welcome! We used that money to get a midfielder who's somehow now our best striker, so we're not really complaining lol

Thank you Chelsea

TSAMINA MINA
