FIFA Club World Cup 2025 | Knockout Stage

[LangleyBlue1970]

Maybe be currently but a fully firing Foden (from 2020-2022 and the 23/24 season) is better

It’s always such a bullshit argument that, one player is better than another. Form is temporary with all players and it comes and goes. What’s important is to be on the convo, which both these players will be in through their careers.

Being a good footballer isn't enough these days, every manager has to be some kind of eccentric"Woody Allen" type. Look for something weird that the player doesn't bring to the team and use that as an excuse to keep them out.

Don’t we have something similar here with Khusanov ?

 

[TinFoilHat]

A Chelsea keeper has showed up for the final.

This is mad.

 

[Gobshiight]

Enjoy seeing an ex-blue doing well but PSG's defending has been abysmal for all three goals

 

[Gordyola]

Yep, we did a Chelsea ‘Ala Debruyne and Salah. Unfortunately, this time they benefited and we ended up looking a tad daft.

That said, the flip side is I can see Cherki turning out just as good if not even better than Palmer, and we will have won in the net spend stakes if that happens.

I don’t think it was the wrong decision to let him go no one knew he’d turn out as good as he has and probably wouldn’t have got the chance at City he needed to play

 

[bridgeno1]

And some people were saying this PSG team is better than your Treble side.....

 

[manimanc]

Well he isn’t there so that’s a nonsense.

Just repeating what the Palmer fanboys are saying.

You're very highly strung sometimes if you don't mind me saying.

Foden last season maybe… Foden at his best, nowhere near

I agree foden is the better player, buts it’s not nowhere near. Palmer is brilliant and is currently one of the best in Europe.

Imagine both of them in our side right now! It’s mad we have/ had two special talents like that in our academy

 

[Paul1970]

Foden last season maybe… Foden at his best, nowhere near

Tbh I don’t know how you can say that mate . For a start palmer has knocked spots of foden at international level and has more than matched him in both seasons at Chelsea . Massive clusterfuck letting him go and we should never allow it to happen again .

 

[Stato]

An object lesson in football.. you can have as much possessions as you want and make as many passes as you want but every side is susceptible to pace and breakaways

A lesson we are all to familiar with

Chelsea have been brilliant, going to be a right battle again next season

I said this about Chelsea back in December:

There’s still a big naïvity about them, highlighted at Anfield and Old Trafford recently. But they’re pretty much all young players. When they all get better together as they get more experience, plus a couple more additions, I’ve no doubt they’ll win the league soon and be constantly at the top.

I thought one thing they were missing was a decent striker… and Joao Pedro is miles better than Jackson.

 

[super_city_si]

2 goals 1 assist.

Chelsea taking them apart.

Knock out footy for you.

A lot on here predicted it too. They seem to jam these comps. Superb performance today though.

 

[mexico1970]

The French resistance is failing.

 

[WallyA]

Delap gonna see alot of the bench.

Pedro is too good of a striker in this new fluid system.

 

[manimanc]

They’ll piss the league next year

I reckon you actually talk to smurfs in real life.

 

[johnny crossan]

The wanker on coms just shot his bolt for nothing.

thinks he's Josef Locke

 

[King Jay]

Enjoy seeing an ex-blue doing well but PSG's defending has been abysmal for all three goals

Or Chelsea is playing it good..just give credit where credit is due

 

[super_city_si]

Joao Pedro is a massive upgrade on Nicolas Jackson.

Big Bob Taylor would be an upgrade on Jackson.

 

[skillman]

They’ll piss the league next year

Too inconsistent across 38 games. Very good in spells, though.

 

[RobinHood]

At least they can't chant to us, "Champions of the World, you'll never sing that".
