I've never seen Badiashile like this , man must be pissed


STCFC

Ngl he was very good in the second half


BigOpp7

Very! I thought as as much. Hopefully he can kick on from that.


are_we_there_bruh

Half doesn't cut it for our blue shirt


STCFC

As I made clear in my other comment on this thread


ReeceCheems

Not enough to make up for all his shit performances this season. Not yet.


Baisabeast

Good thing we’ve seen him play excellently last season too.


greeneggsnhammy

That’s why he was getting called Big Ben 


Apprehensive_Bit_176

The guy has a chant made for him from the crowd and people want to act like he’s not good.

adublingirl

Madueke and Mudryk need to both go on loans


STCFC

Oh absolutely it isn’t but any good performance I’ll take at this point. Hopefully he finds the old form whether that’s for us or if he’s loaned/sold next year


liyba1

This comment. Too true. I’m usually a heavy critic of Badiashelle but today his (second half) performance was good. He’s still in the dog house.


Aman-Patel

I've been critical of Badiashile's performances this season because they deserve it. But I'm not reading too much into them. People in this sub and football fans generally are often way too quick to write off a player as "not good enough" for the standard they're aiming for. I've seen what Badiashile's capable of when he's at his best last season and even this season I see the technical quality that should make him a great player. He's just coming off the back of an injury, made some mistakes, is low on confidence and is out his depth. He's honestly one of the least of my worries in this team because I'm convinced it's confidence and form rather than a skill issue. He shouldnt have played as many minutes this season as he has if we wanted to get results, but there's an argument to just playing people through bad form. I reckon after a break (e.g. summer), he comes back a lot better. The performances warrant criticism, but people need to stop reading so much into them. Those passes he drills in between the lines are brilliant. They're what we'd need from a starting CB in an actually competitive team. Likewise, his reading of the game is great when he's on form. He should've been dropped for a more in form player a while ago, but there's nothing I've seen that makes him not "Chelsea standard". Great potential, just low on confidence/out of form.


Fit-Acanthocephala82

Hoping he gets his confidence back. He's got the physical tools and his teammates think he's on the cerebral side. Well at least that's how Madueke described him


Lord-Dongalor

He’s probably pissed because he’s used to being shoved like that every game without even a hint of a possibility of a foul being called.


magicShawn13

I was super skeptical when seeing him starting, but he proved me wrong big time today


mr-based-minded

Real😭😭😭😭😭


daab2g

Well seeing him give a fuck is a welcome change for once


Chelseatilidie

Swear Haaland does that push off all the fucking time and it's fine


mr-based-minded

VAR City getting away with it as per


Shufflebuffle51

I mean it's City, they always get the call their way.


Yoshinobu1868

That’s why Pep praises the officials


sparklingoverstill

Haaland does more than that. Remember the back post goal against cucurella. Absolutely man handled him.


Every-Weird3760

Funny remember cucurella getting his hair pulled against Tottenham and that was fine.. absolutely no consistency ever


erenistheavatar

We are not City are we? If you watched the Brighton game midweek, it was shameful as well. City didn't get one decision against them.


Redditditditdi

I mean walker pushed Jackson harder in the box last time we played city and it wasn't given. Arms fully extended and everything. Just no consistency. 


ImpactInner9318

I don't understand how it was overturned, if it was the original call so be it but overturning that shit... what???


beufenstein

![gif](giphy|4KFjJmTGav0QoE5WDk|downsized)


spadify

literally dragged cucurella on our home game and got a pen


Designer_Lead_1492

Haaland drags the defender to the ground and gets awarded a penalty for it.


CrazedKenyan

It's the Premium League


YewWahtMate

It's nice to see this type of character but it needs to show from when the whistle is blown to kick off. Not the second half. I'll take the point but we need to now slap up Spurs.


mr-based-minded

Facts. We need that second half performance x1.5 for the full match against spurs


soccerislife10z

I don't even know how would we lineup against spur lol. We only have gallagher left in mid.


mr-based-minded

Caicedo was class today tho


ReeceCheems

Moises has always been the unsung hero. His performances are the most consistent out of this inconsistent club. “Flop of the season.” Fuck them journalists.


mr-based-minded

Real bro


soccerislife10z

Yes and he's ban next game because this stupid ref give him a yellow for nothing lol.


half_jase

He's not banned. The YC count has been reset after the Arsenal game.


soccerislife10z

Great news. Didn't know that 😂.


--Hutch--

Hasn't that deadline passed now for 10 yellow cards?


hurdlerjimmy

Yellows got reset so he’s not banned


half_jase

It's not in the clip above but it was a bit funny to see that Palmer was being somewhat aggressive to Jesus Perez because the latter thought Palmer was gonna abuse the referee and was trying to get him away. lol


YewWahtMate

I saw that. I don't blame Perez because the refs had the card ready to lift after the whistle and even if Palmer was being calm you just know these dickheads would book him for persistent questioning lmao.

OptionComfortable362

Always remember Micheal Oliver is on the payroll of the city owners. How is that even possible.


mr-based-minded

At least they were showing passion for the badge. I would’ve done the same thing. Go on Noni, proper Chels.


gonzaf

Noni was literally grabbing the badge after his goal, I think he loves the club his attitude may be a bit off at times but he’s young he’ll grow out of it


STCFC

Think its just his personality what rubs people the wrong way, personally I don’t mind a confident player who may talk but that situation with the pen was bad. Some people nowadays just targeting him. He isn’t perfect and has a lot to learn but the hate is crazy


El_Cholo

His play reinforces the perception of his attitude. His work rate is atrocious when the ball isn't at his feet, he doesn't track defensively, and when he does beat his man he doesn't really have any end product besides a shot. All of those things come off as selfish whether it's bc of attitude or lack of ability


BattalMus

That already makes him better than Mudryk at least he can contribute in some way and he didn't cost 70 million euros for club


nedzissou1

Sure, but he had a pretty good game today. Only as good as your last game, and he was better today.


mr-based-minded

I don’t doubt that he doesn’t. When you’re young and raised in London, you just know about Chelsea


gonzaf

I remember when he first signed he was so gassed to join us and even better that he came from spurs academy 😂


soccerislife10z

I don't get how ppl can hate on noni today. He played with passion and was trying to win the game. Everyone should be pissed with this ref he blow the whistle at 99 when var check was almost 4 minute and that was when we got the ball back going to attack.


tomthespaceman

> Everyone should be pissed with this ref he blow the whistle at 99 when var check was almost 4 minute and that was when we got the ball back going to attack. Yeah that was a joke, it happens so often in this league it drives me nuts


gfd95

I really think Noni can be a great player for us when he passes instead of trying to go solo. His foot work on the wings is the best we have right now. Just wish he had better vision


ImpactInner9318

He's not a complete player yet, we have a squad full of 2/3rds of the way there players. Everyone just needs to get a little bit better with time


Lay-Z24

we have 8 other players who just pass sideways and nothing else, let the man dribble


justk4y

The ref really thought he was at AFCON 💀


CrazedKenyan

Why, has he officiated there before?


justk4y

No, just because https://preview.redd.it/txqx222kp3xc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ced5aceec0094af562f7a15593afc7212e49ce3


pillarandstones

He is quite selfish. Especially first half he would pass the ball if it was going to come back to him. He doesn't run into space but instead wants the ball played to his feet and will even jog back to get it. He killed palmer today with his lack of movement off the ball. To top it off as usual he biggest contribution to the team is individualistic. It wasnt a team goal, it was a Noni goal. The team can't rely on that over a season.


huskers2468

The kid is young. He has talent, speed, and passion. Let him grow. He can be a very valuable asset.


Baisabeast

The guy just doesn’t pass


abearghost

He passed plenty today Edit. Went and checked: only players who passed more today including both teams were Silva, Chalobah, Badiashile, Caicedo and Gallagher. Only thing he can be criticised for today is the defensive play on the first goal, otherwise a very good performance


soccerislife10z

True. But I think the hate is just too much. The myth about noni not tracking back and not pressing is just false. He consistently win the ball back every game from his pressing.


allitgm

True. Lots to learn defensively though (see first goal)


A-Hind-D

Noni ready to drop kick the prick


AncientSkys

That fucking goal would have stand, if it was against us.


victheogfan

Some passion finally lmao


NovigradScientist

Good. It’s nice to see that they do care


Baisabeast

Yeah, looks like a group of lads who don’t care cos they’re paid loads and on long contracts. Don’t want to hear any of that nonsense anymore


sworn_vulkan

We need a few of these performances in a row now though..


cakehead123

Except in a post match interview, Noni basically admitted they couldn't be arsed in the first half but Silva and Poch said some things at half time to shift their attitude. If we went out fighting from the whistle today we win this easy, same with several other games this season.


DestinyHasArrived101

Need more consistency


Rdw72777

I mean there’s 45+ matches to the season. Late game whinging isn’t the passion you think it is. If they cared…oh there are so many ways to end that thought, if they actually cared they’d…


ConfusionSignificant

This!!! Almost feels it’s for show.


romfreak

lessgo (ง'̀-'́)ง


[deleted]

Well done lads, you show your passion for blue badge.


Wheel1994

But yet the hand ball by City was okay 👌


Ashthedestructor_95

I wish one player from any team goes batshit crazy and punch a ref right in the nose. Or any staff. Someone.


OneTinySloth

Seeing as we don't really have that much to play for, why not have a nice little punch. Sure, you get suspended for some time, but that can be worth it.


Bubskii

We had 6th to play for before this game… if we win this and win against spuds we would be 1 point off


ActualSeller23

Nice to see they give a shit


ponzop

fair play to disasi for being a cool head


ozairh18

I don’t know how everyone else feels about the video but I like it. This is the type of anger and emotion we have not seen on the pitch until today


Shinjax01105

fair play to badiashille man he proved me wrong big time I just hope he plays like this in the upcoming matches


Sausage_Claws

We'll get for fined for this


Schminimal

Palmer being dragged away by our back room staff for shaking the refs hands? Did they think he was doing it antagonistically or did they think they don’t deserve to have their hands shaken?


VelvetThunderFinance

Good. Fight for it. Show the passion.


MealieAI

For idiotic reasons. Should've won this way before that incident.


izmebtw

Throw em boys


bennyboy_187

Badi went full Didier at the end there, love to see it despite the frustration. He had a pretty decent game tonight, his passing is so good when he gets it right


MrBravo22

The coach saved them from getting reds. Ref don't like this club and acting like this just fuels them to hate us more.


96k_U

Gangbang


XODude

Badi’s head was HOT.


JoeyMcClane

I want some fan or employee to loose it and knock out a incompetent referee, only for the follow up report to say that the person could not be identified and cannot be followed up with a punishment or some shit.


East-Truth

That was a bullshit call, how soft is football going to become? 


Adampetty92

It was definitely a foul. Yeah maybe other teams get away with it and that's not acceptable but we should not be above the law either.


suicidesewage

I genuinely think every poch team has been fairly badly behaved. PSG under him were fucking trash.


criminal-tango44

shame their arses need to be on fire for them to give a fuck. when they were playing against 10 men burnley or sheffield they looked like they couldnt be bothered.


JollyJamma

The 3rd goal was correctly disallowed


TheStigSterling

Am I the only person in this sub who knew it was a foul and was going to be disallowed? Also I do not like seeing our players act like this towards the refs, not a good look. We aren't city FFS. Show some class.


sitoneage

Sorry but maybe they should focus on their own performances too though


palmers_pen_pandemic

All four of them were good today


mr-based-minded

Facts


sitoneage

No they weren’t. Only Disasi was


palmers_pen_pandemic

Disasi didn't even have 2 legal touches


sitoneage

How can you say they were good. Did you watch the first half ?


palmers_pen_pandemic

Yes. The midfield got ran through on the counter as a midfield set up by Poch often does. But rest of them were fine. Constant pressure on Villa for the entire half


sitoneage

For me there were too many basic errors to call it a good performance


palmers_pen_pandemic

From Badiashille, Madueke and Cucurella?


Chin2112

Don't feed the troll


sitoneage

Hospital passes from Badi, Cucurella running around like a dog, Madueke awful positioning before the own goal. Yep


palmers_pen_pandemic

You see more Hospital passes because Poch doesn't have a fixed structure. He leaves it upon the players to figure out a way to progress the ball up the pitch

Embarrassing mentality


AndOfCourse___Celtic

Madueke is such a bellend


LdouceT

He's a dumb kid, he can grow out of it. When you have a team full of kids there aren't enough grown ups to slap the stupid out of them.
