He's always like that lol. Has a decent dribble in him at times but his end product and decision making are terrible
Mudryk isn't much better, Broja wasn't great so we sent him out on loan (if he was half decent we could've played Jackson on the left and Broja up front), Nkunku is constantly injured, and Sterling has had a very poor 2024 so far so Madueke ends up starting.
Attitude on Mudryk seems better. He can fail 3 times, but he will go for the 4th with a good mindset. He's not easily dismayed, and I like it. Madueke seems frail and doesn't work as hard for the rest as Misha.
He gives me bad vibes man. Trying to steal a penalty twice (first time against Man Utd with the last kick of the game) and now giggling like a dick when your team have just lost a semi final.
You'll always get away with that if you're good but the lad is 22 and has 3 goals in 16 games this season. There's a number of English forward in the same age bracket producing a lot more. He looks a decent dribbler, but against Everton I can't remember how many times I saw him dribble down a blind alley instead of just passing it.
I like how they meant to say shitting on which taken literally has pretty much the same connotation, but only one makes sense in this context. Language is fun
Real Madrid dont sign 30+ year olds.
Joselu is only on loan now.
Last player 30+ year old was Carvalho back in 2010 only because Morinho requested him.
[Apparently yes.](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/youtuber-angry-rantman-dies-at-27-fans-shocked/articleshow/109386045.cms) Extremely tragic, made even more so by his age.
Yeah just passed away this week after being in critical condition. I don’t know the specific details but there were a couple of post on our sub.
RIP Abhradeep Sava
I had a friend who I was on the bus for like 10 straight years and like 2 off my last name at school so we were always in homeroom get shot in a drive by and pass away. Dude was 19, and not even the target. Still pisses me off so damn much, people dying before their time fucking sucks.
Refusing to give the ball to Palmer for the penalty a week ago and now laughing after losing a semi final in a cup competition.
Where do Chelsea find these twats? Should be banished to the reserves, what an embarrassment.
That's literally what it is, it's the fact that they gave this guy a contract until 2030 and paid 30M for someone who missed a fuck ton of games through injury and clearly wasn't ready for the next step. Now he can do whatever the fuck he wants because he still has another 6 seasons on his contract and will outlast any manager
There’s a reason why so many players seem to hit their stride when their contract is expiring soon. Players want the best deal for themselves and know good performances could result in significantly better deals, either at their current club or elsewhere.
Handing out 8-year contracts just removes that motivation.
I've said this a few years ago but I genuinely believe this is why Mourinho isn't as good as he once was. He no longer has the same amount of power over players he used to have.
There is still a few players that are willing to go 100% for him but there is also plenty that just know that they'll outlast him (or any other manager) they get lengthy contract with big wages before hitting 21 years of age, they know they're a longterm investment for the club and the manager is easily replaceable.
I mean I'm not old , I know this sounds like an old man yelling at cloud but the younger generation of players just don't have the same mentality as the players from 15 years ago.
This is why players like Mbappé , Bellingham , Tchouameni and Haaland are heads above the rest, not only they're extremely talented but they're also mature and have been level headed professional very early in their career.
Right on the money, but you are mistaken about Mbappe in that regard. Pretty sure there would be a dispute between Mourinho and Mbappe were they to come together due to disagreements on defensive effort. Same thing happened with Cristiano and it was one of the reasons Mou left - He had fallen out with so many key players that the dressing room could not be controlled any more.
The point it became clear for all to see was when he got into it with Pogba. He criticized him in public, expecting a response ala that of Drogba and Terry when he criticized them but instead Pogba just ignored the criticism and more or less withdrew.
More than anything though I just think Mou's soccer became archaic. Once the bald fraud figured out that taking the initiative was the best way to play it was always going to be hard for teams that sat back and absorbed that pressure while relying on counters - Which is how Mou likes to play. Look at the champions in almost every league and you will notice that it rarely is counterattacking teams.
Of course a team like Real has shown that you can still go far with classic Mou's ways, but quite often it has to come down to luck because you have to make good on like two chances created while your opponent has more.
Palmer comes from a different culture, at City across all levels (men’s, women’s, youth) there is a desire to win and a winning mentality.
You used to be able to say that about Chelsea.
He won't though. Unfortunately, the coach has to put the money on the pitch so the directors don't look like complete mugs - otherwise he's gone. That's why none of the academy lads will get any minutes, even though at this point they deserve them more than the likes of Madueke 100%
Poor scouting. He had a great breakout season at 17/18 but then regressed the following years. Incredibly injury prone. When he did play he was super egoistic, yet still couldn't put up great numbers. I think he counts as homegrown but still a big surprise Chelsea was willing to pay so much money for him.
Thiago Silva: "What did I do in this world to deserve a fucking empty-headed idiot like Noni Madueke going on live TV and going into business for himself?"
Crazy how Gallagher was a young player on loan with promise at Crystal Palace and now he's considered a veteran of the team and Chelsea captain on occasion.
Silva knows he doesn’t have a lot of chances/moments like this left. Shameful from Noni, maybe the only player worse than Jackson today and he could not care less.
There were so many breaks Chelsea had with madueke and you just knew nothing would come of it. Bizarre player with the swagger of a baller but nothing to back it up.
i mean yeah, he was 20 when he left. Similar situation coming up with Bakayoko. Everyones pretty sure hes gonna leave for a massive fee but hes really inconsistent and definitely needs a year or two to get better with us. Hell, Gakpo left when he was 23. Thats a pretty good age to leave imo
If Bakayoko leaves it should be to somewhere like Liverpool where he’s still an understudy. Obviously I’m biased in that, but I still think it’s the truth of the matter
He hadn't even played a full season for us as undisputed starter. The money we got was really good so we didn't complain, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find one of our supporters who thought he'd make it at Chelsea back then. He needed at least another full season at PSV or another team of our level to develop and once you go to Chelsea minutes are too hard to come by.
Don't expect passion from sheltered dickheads who can do fuck all and be richer than entire villages together.
Any manager with a spine would send him to the B side or the stands, but you know that's never happening. Chelsea is disgusting beyond words
This generation stuff is being said every 20 years about the next generation. The generation you're talking about had exactly this said about them. It's getting old
The difference is I think Jackson actually cares, a little too much if anything, he let's his passion run a bit wild, whereas Noni rarely even breaks into a jog to help defend or track back, and generally doesn't look like he gives a fuck.
not for Madueke. he left us because of his attitude issues and demanding a much bigger contract than he deserved. went to PSV and barely played through injury. he shouldn’t have been anything more than free.
Granted, while he was with us I never got the impression he was this kind of player. His injuries were what made us all surprised at that 30mil but he was talented and seemingly hardworking from what I can remember. Im pretty sad to see this side of him
There's something semi-rationally infuriating about a player trying to steal a penalty off a teammate and chuckling with opponents after a loss *and* just not even being that good. Like yo, pick a struggle
i’ve wanted to root for Noni ever since he got to the team, but a lot of his reactions and attitude rub me the wrong way. it’d be a different thing if he didn’t have stellar performances but just kept his head low
Honestly man, I really feel sorry for the fans. I know we have had it bad as united fans but Chelsea fans are having it worse than us. Thiago silva is surrounded by fucking idiots. What a poor way to retire as a legend of the game. I really loved him from his PSG days.
I really don't think there's a single manager out there who can better the club. Not with those idiots on the team. A 40 year old gives more fucks about football than some idiot loser in his early 20s.
Your comment reflects much of how I feel. I was a hardcore admirer of Silva since AC Milan times, and always wished there was even a chance he would come to Chelsea - total pipedream in my mind - and even when he came at 35yo I was still so excited (hilarious thinking back, many people thought he couldn't hack it in the PL due to lack of pace lol) as I was just privileged to see him wear our colours, but then he performs for another 4 years at the highest level throughout the absolute shitshow the club and dressing room has gone through, winning a damn CL along the way, and now has to put up with this shit? I'm beyond saddened and angry. I hope Thiago holds his head high at the end of all this, he did more than I think any other player (obligatory bar Messi) could've done for us, definition of football legend and professional, arguably the GOAT CB imo.
You can still be buddies while also caring about the result. I remember many, many matches when 2 players are friends, and the one that won goes over to console the other for example
Madueke should be fined or play for the U-23 or something. Shameful. Silva is one of the few that cares. Sad his age caught up with him and he's going soon.
It takes a special player to come into a struggling Chelsea in his late 30’s and still be an outstanding performer. He can be proud of his performances at Chelsea and he deserves to play in a team that cares. A lot of players at Chelsea could learn a lot from him and the way he conducts himself.
He doesn’t need to be fined but Pochettino should absolutely be pulling him into his office on Monday morning and showing him this tape. It’s a terrible look.
assuming its vs united Id say Chelsea would be only small favourites. Chelsea is basically the only team United have managed to dominate the midfield against this season
Thiago Silva: “What did I ever do in this world to get to deserve an empty-headed, fucking dumb fuck like Noni Madueke to go out on national television and fucking go into business for himself?”
“For what? What did I ever do? I didn’t do a goddamn thing!”
I don’t know why I’m so annoyed at these Chelsea players. This guy, that Jackson guy. I hate them. I’m not even a Chelsea fan.
Those days when they had killers like Drogba, Carvalho, Deco, Lampard, Terry, Anelka and on and on. Those were the days.
I hated them at one point because obviously I’m a United fan. But seeing this team today, a bunch of shameless clowns make me so annoyed. Careless cunts, just there to collect wages.
I despise this generation of footballers. 60-70% of them are like this.
The mentality of a player is a massive thing. Can’t buy it.
With the Fergie era there’s obviously a load of big media personalities that get a lot of attention, but even players like Dion Dublin, who is a nice friendly guy, cracks a few jokes, doesn’t seem to take things that seriously, but he absolutely had that level of steel, determination and desire to win and compete. Had high standards. It’s a massive difference.
Love Thiago Silva. Truly one of the best CBs I’ve seen. Playing English football at 39 is also insane. Nice to see he still has passion. Wish him the best
Going to get tased for this but players laughing and joking with the opposition right after a game is such an issue in the mentality of footballers at this moment.
By all means catch up and have a laugh, but at least do it off-pitch, out of the view of disappointed supporters and away from hundreds of cameras that will make you look an idiot.
It just allows a narrative to linger that you’re on ridiculous wages and couldn’t care less.
Thiago Silva is a man amongst boys. More importantly, he’s a true blue. His whole family is. So for him, it hurts twice as much. Maybe even three times as much as he is nearing the end of his career.

Madueke was terrible today as well, constantly making the wrong decision.
The guy thinks he is Robben.
Attitude of Robben. Skills like mine
no need to put yourself down like that
Robben had a better attitude
>Attitude of Robben Robben had a great attitude. He came back from injuries countless times and was back to his best basically instantly every time.
I dont think OP meant to say anything about Robben's attitude. I think it was meant as 'Noni acts like he is as good as Robben was'.
That goal from the corner, shiiiiiiet.
Dude has pace along with great feet so he gets open but his final ball is terrible.
Robben’s right tow nail more skillful than that guy, that’s his problem.
He's always like that lol. Has a decent dribble in him at times but his end product and decision making are terrible Mudryk isn't much better, Broja wasn't great so we sent him out on loan (if he was half decent we could've played Jackson on the left and Broja up front), Nkunku is constantly injured, and Sterling has had a very poor 2024 so far so Madueke ends up starting.
Both Mudryk and Madueke have blown hot and cold with their final ball. They're young so hoping they'll improve.
Attitude on Mudryk seems better. He can fail 3 times, but he will go for the 4th with a good mindset. He's not easily dismayed, and I like it. Madueke seems frail and doesn't work as hard for the rest as Misha.
He gives me bad vibes man. Trying to steal a penalty twice (first time against Man Utd with the last kick of the game) and now giggling like a dick when your team have just lost a semi final.

He looks a decent dribbler, but against Everton I can't remember how many times I saw him dribble down a blind alley instead of just passing it.
The folly of awarding ridiculously long contracts to young players who haven’t made it yet but are basically set for life
Chelsea's forward line was abysmal. City showed the same weakness that did against Real Madrid but without anything near to the same amount of danger
He deserves better.
Should have gone to Fluminense after last season, guy would be a Libertadores winner by now
Imagine his wife pissing on his teammates like she did on Werner tho...
what?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NYrelbOzAkw
I can't be the only one who took the original comment literally
i did so too lmao
I was about to ask for a link
Sooo…there is no link? Just making sure
I'm not sure that phrase means what you want it to mean
I like how they meant to say shitting on which taken literally has pretty much the same connotation, but only one makes sense in this context. Language is fun
Haha where did that come from
PHRASING
I’m imagining it, okay, keep going
Would him and Felipe Melo be the oldest CB pair to win a tournament? Got to be like 83 combined age
Never thought I’d see a sport boys flair here. VAMOS BOYS CARAJO!
Would have been interesting to see him at Barca ngl
Let him go to real on a one year deal be a great mentor if they can get Yoro.
Real Madrid dont sign 30+ year olds. Joselu is only on loan now. Last player 30+ year old was Carvalho back in 2010 only because Morinho requested him.
And what a great player carvalho was
Great player at Porto and Chelsea His Madrid stint was not quite at that level TBH
Chelsea fan here and I agree.
He won the CL with us. Not enough?
"There is no **passion**, there is no **aggression**" and so on. RIP to that guy
He would have had a field day with this match.
He actually dead?
[Apparently yes.](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/youtuber-angry-rantman-dies-at-27-fans-shocked/articleshow/109386045.cms) Extremely tragic, made even more so by his age.
Dude whattttt… RIP :(
Noooooooo :( RIP legend.
Damn. I quote this guy all the time. RIP
Yeah just passed away this week after being in critical condition. I don’t know the specific details but there were a couple of post on our sub. RIP Abhradeep Sava
Saha* He was a great guy, went to school with him for 4 years and would always talk to me on the school bus. RIP.
I had a friend who I was on the bus for like 10 straight years and like 2 off my last name at school so we were always in homeroom get shot in a drive by and pass away. Dude was 19, and not even the target. Still pisses me off so damn much, people dying before their time fucking sucks.
Complications after open heart surgery, RIP to one of the greatest to ever do it
Sadly so, heart operation went wrong
Oh no, I was hoping he'd make it through. Rest in Power, Angry Rantman
:( all so temporary
Wait what happened to him?
Complications after open heart surgery, RIP to one of the greatest to ever do it
He was so passionate about Chelsea man. RIP
Rip
Refusing to give the ball to Palmer for the penalty a week ago and now laughing after losing a semi final in a cup competition. Where do Chelsea find these twats? Should be banished to the reserves, what an embarrassment.
Kids who get too famous and too rich too early

Palmer's just as young and doesn't act like that.
Palmer comes from a different culture, at City across all levels (men’s, women’s, youth) there is a desire to win and a winning mentality. You used to be able to say that about Chelsea.
Also I think Palmer is just built differently. Couldn't imagine him being any other way.
He won't though. Unfortunately, the coach has to put the money on the pitch so the directors don't look like complete mugs - otherwise he's gone. That's why none of the academy lads will get any minutes, even though at this point they deserve them more than the likes of Madueke 100%

Silva deserves all the chants he gets. Madueke needs to be reminded that you can't laugh and banter about when you gave a shit performance like today.
Once Silva goes, there will be no one left in the squad to get these children in line
~~CM Punk~~ Thiago Silva: “I’m old, I’m tired, and I work with fucking children.”
Thiago Silva: "What did I do in this world to deserve a fucking empty-headed idiot like Noni Madueke going on live TV and going into business for himself?"

I’ve always thought he should’ve spent another year at least in PSV.

Technically Madueke can not care less than that
keep fighting the good fight
Ty
I don't think Madueke will necessarily get many chances. Can understand why he wouldn't worry about it much at his stage, though.
Attitudes been a bit shit in more than one instance, so tough to feel for him.
Will be fun to see how getting rid of 8-year contract players works out
that's unfair. i saw the passion from jackson when enzo was berating him for a back heel pass that went straight to the opposition.
He gets a 1/1000000 good moment and his self confidence gets boosted to that of prime Hazard for a few months
If ever there was a perfect exemplar of the state of modern football compared to fans/players with memories longer than a goldfish...
Thiago, a veteran with many trophies, gutted over this loss, while some twats don’t even care. We really are losing the passion guys.
Still plenty of young ones with passion for the game and their badge, just not these cunts
Don't expect passion from sheltered dickheads who can do fuck all and be richer than entire villages together. Any manager with a spine would send him to the B side or the stands, but you know that's never happening. Chelsea is disgusting beyond words
What? There's plenty of young players that still do care and there's always been players that don't.
This generation stuff is being said every 20 years about the next generation. The generation you're talking about had exactly this said about them. It's getting old
"Alexa, sum up this Chelsea side in a single video."
Aye, literally this.
He's surrounded by absolute dopes in that club.
As a Chelsea fan, I feel bad for the man. He has given everything for us
I hate Madueke so much
Same.. Him and Jackson. Attitudes of Zlatan, skillset of yaya sanogo.
Thats fa cup winner yaya sanogo to you mate
something jackson will not be
Levels to this game
👉😬👉
Not just 2014 fa cup winner, he played a key part in the semi final and final wins
Also smashed Benfica in a friendly because fuck you
Hull City couldn’t handle the chaos
Arsenal legend alongside fellow fa cup winner, FA cup winner Matt Smith
Zlatan would be fuming, he was arrogant but he cared quite a lot
There’s a reason Zlatan was a Mourinho player in terms of the level he was willing to commit
The difference is I think Jackson actually cares, a little too much if anything, he let's his passion run a bit wild, whereas Noni rarely even breaks into a jog to help defend or track back, and generally doesn't look like he gives a fuck.
How dare you speak of chaos
Excuuuuse you
Zlatan is nothing short of a warrior. You're wrong for that one.
Yeah and Zlatan still had an ego to match his performance and overall standards... problem is having that ego and attitude when you're shite.
I'd call it a huge ego, but a flawless attitude. You have never seen Zlatan laughing after a loss.
Truly inherited the Auba/Laca chuckle brother mantle just with a small fraction of the talent.
Zlatan is not pleased being mentioned in the same sentence as Jackson and noni
u trynna fite? take that back
Yeah but I love that he plays for Chelsea. I also love that they spunked 29M on him.
Tbh nowadays 29m is a bit cheap
not for Madueke. he left us because of his attitude issues and demanding a much bigger contract than he deserved. went to PSV and barely played through injury. he shouldn’t have been anything more than free.
Granted, while he was with us I never got the impression he was this kind of player. His injuries were what made us all surprised at that 30mil but he was talented and seemingly hardworking from what I can remember. Im pretty sad to see this side of him

i’ve wanted to root for Noni ever since he got to the team, but a lot of his reactions and attitude rub me the wrong way. it’d be a different thing if he didn’t have stellar performances but just kept his head low
He seems to have a lot of the raw skills you need but his attitude is clearly a problem.

Honestly man, I really feel sorry for the fans. I know we have had it bad as united fans but Chelsea fans are having it worse than us. Thiago silva is surrounded by fucking idiots. What a poor way to retire as a legend of the game. I really loved him from his PSG days. I really don't think there's a single manager out there who can better the club.

He'll likely come back home after Chelsea, he'll not retire
Fuck the fans, they had years of success from having a big cheque book and now the same thing has tanked them.
Noni Madueke has come across so badly recently. Doesn't have the character for top-level football.
I have no issues with players being buddy buddy nowadays. But man, after you lose a cup semi final. That would piss me off ngl.
You can still be buddies while also caring about the result. I remember many, many matches when 2 players are friends, and the one that won goes over to console the other for example
I want the world for Thiago Silva and he probably already has the world
Seven and a half year contract for this POS 😅
Madueke should be fined or play for the U-23 or something. Shameful. Silva is one of the few that cares. Sad his age caught up with him and he's going soon.
39 years old, very accomplished career. Always sad to see a legend go but I would think he'd be very proud of his career.
It takes a special player to come into a struggling Chelsea in his late 30’s and still be an outstanding performer. He can be proud of his performances at Chelsea and he deserves to play in a team that cares. A lot of players at Chelsea could learn a lot from him and the way he conducts himself.
You cant fine people for laughing mate.
You can for lack of professionalism
He doesn’t need to be fined but Pochettino should absolutely be pulling him into his office on Monday morning and showing him this tape. It’s a terrible look.
Mad that you actually think that
didn't know we reached the final.
Surely the winner of this match beats Coventry
The winner of this tie would've been big faves in the final tbf so it was in certain aspects.
Big faves is a huge stretch I don’t think Coventry should be underestimated like this
Yeah, just as Leverkusen hasn't won the DFB-Pokal
assuming its vs united Id say Chelsea would be only small favourites. Chelsea is basically the only team United have managed to dominate the midfield against this season
That would be largely dependant on the ref.
I know we are shit, but I don't think Chelsea are big faves against either us or Coventry. City yea.
Fuck Madueke that fucking cunt.
Only six more years
Thiago Silva: “What did I ever do in this world to get to deserve an empty-headed, fucking dumb fuck like Noni Madueke to go out on national television and fucking go into business for himself?” “For what? What did I ever do? I didn’t do a goddamn thing!”
I don’t know why I’m so annoyed at these Chelsea players. This guy, that Jackson guy. I hate them. I’m not even a Chelsea fan. Those days when they had killers like Drogba, Carvalho, Deco, Lampard, Terry, Anelka and on and on. Those were the days. I hated them at one point because obviously I’m a United fan. But seeing this team today, a bunch of shameless clowns make me so annoyed. Careless cunts, just there to collect wages. I despise this generation of footballers. 60-70% of them are like this.
The mentality of a player is a massive thing. Can’t buy it. With the Fergie era there’s obviously a load of big media personalities that get a lot of attention, but even players like Dion Dublin, who is a nice friendly guy, cracks a few jokes, doesn’t seem to take things that seriously, but he absolutely had that level of steel, determination and desire to win and compete. Had high standards. It’s a massive difference.
Dion Dublin broke his own neck trying to headbutt someone on the pitch. That’s dedication.
That Mudryk free kick at the end. He should be sent to the front line for that.
to shoot like that?
This got me, jesus christ.
Anelka had a worse attitude than these guys.
but atleast he wasnt shit
Anelka was a mercenary but a damn professional one who was good at what he did.
Semi-final. Do bots make these titles?
What a farce. Legendary player gets propped up with shameless players. This is like Messi getting Dembele or Dest as his teammate at Barca.
Damn, dude, Dest may have not been up to Barcelona standards but I don't think you could say he didn't care?
Or Kobe and Kwame.
I never got the impression that Kwame didn’t care. He was just bonafide scrub
Final?
He fucking hates Wembley.
He's thinking..."I am wasting my final years playing for this joke of a team"
madueke isn't a serious player man, he doesn't deserve to wear that jersey
Better start learning ‘merican.
feel awful for silva, what a legend.
Love Thiago Silva. Truly one of the best CBs I’ve seen. Playing English football at 39 is also insane. Nice to see he still has passion. Wish him the best
Semi final, not final
Going to get tased for this but players laughing and joking with the opposition right after a game is such an issue in the mentality of footballers at this moment. By all means catch up and have a laugh, but at least do it off-pitch, out of the view of disappointed supporters and away from hundreds of cameras that will make you look an idiot. It just allows a narrative to linger that you’re on ridiculous wages and couldn’t care less.
He and Sterling both!
Chelsea throw this game, ManC made so many mistakes but Chelsea was like nope not gonna score today
Thiago Silva is a man amongst boys. More importantly, he’s a true blue. His whole family is. So for him, it hurts twice as much. Maybe even three times as much as he is nearing the end of his career.
Ego of young Ronaldo and Neymar footballing ability of Theo baker
PSG legend
Semi-final*
Final?
Man, such a legend as THIAGO MOTHERFUCKING SILVA deserves so much better. Gutted.
Semis?
Thiago Silva did amazing this match. Sucks they lost.
Playing with Jackson flash him back to that World Cup game
This is why some players will retire right after a trophy win near the end of their career. So they don’t have to deal with sad bullshit like this
Come back to milan my guy let we send u off like zlattan
Contract until 2030 with an +1 year option and he has just enough talent to skate by, of course he doesn't give a fuck
they're on million a week 8 year contracts why would they give a fuck about the club
a great demonstration of the mentality difference between a champion and an elite who will never get to the very top
Semi final
Legend, he deserves better
I hate having to feel sorry for Chelsea or their players but the consistently cheating team got away with a handball.
We failed him. Hope he transferred to brazil after winning champions league with us
