Our representative Basaksehir suffered a heavy defeat in Europe.I did not expect this result from Basaksehir who lost 5-1 against Celje.It was a tough match for them and I thought they could get a draw from this match.When we look at the match, we can say that Basaksehir played more with the ball but Celje scored the goals.Pelkas scored the only goal for Basaksehir.Basaksehir failed to win in 2 matches with this defeat.

That's probably biggest surprise in this round. Maybe not that Celje won, but the way how they won. Happy to see that my countrymen A. Kucys scored 2 goals and made an assist. The way how he is playing this season, wouldn't be surprised if one of Serie A team will buy him in winter.

It’s surprising to see someone saying that Chelsea are not performing well in the Premier League. Chelsea's performance haven’t been bad in the Premier League, and people have been praising Enzo Maresca for the incredible squad he has been able to build. Chelsea losing their last match against Liverpool doesn’t mean they are not performing well, people never expected Chelsea to perform so well this season. There has been so much difference in Chelsea's performance this season, Chelsea's performance this season can’t be compared to last season.

Maybe their place in EPL table isn't something special, but when you see how they're playing, it's big difference from what we saw last season. And in Conference league they're looking confident, after all teams that they beat isn't weakest in competition.

Chelsea team achieved a great win against Panathinaiko with a 4/1 goal margin. Although Chelsea are currently the most successful team in the Conference League and are at the top of the points table as they are strong.

With the squad that Enzo Maresca is having and his pattern of play, I don’t think any team in the conference league should even give Chelsea a difficult moment, so Chelsea are currently in the right position, which they are supposed to be, no club should take the first position from Chelsea.

Chelsea is the only big team that played today, that’s why everyone’s attention was just in the Chelsea match today, and Chelsea were able to win the match. Things went the way most people predicted it, people predicted Chelsea to win, and they did, they were able to score 4 goals in the match, which is a nice one for Chelsea. It’s going to be a disgrace for Chelsea to lose to any club because they have no excuse for them to lose.

Chelsea was the better side yesterday, they controlled the game throughout the match and the end result justify it. The game is a must win for Chelsea because they played against an average Greece team. Despite their outstanding performance, Chelsea needs to improve and stop conceding cheap and avoidable goals. Moreover, football is a game of team and not individual game. George needs to understand that and stop playing selfishly. Perhaps, Chelsea is in the process they have been waiting for all this while because they now score goals for fun. The fact that Mudryk record his name on the score board make it more interesting.

No doubt that Chelsea has improved really well in terms of performance. But there is nothing to accolade Maresca here. Panathinaiko is a club with low performance compared to Chelsea. They are still struggling in the Super League Greece so I dont expect anything much from them. Mudryk, Nkunku, and Jose Felix are not second-team players if you do watch Chelsea football. They are the problem not having good performance that they keep coming off the bench. Meanwhile, this is a game I expect to win from Chelsea and they did not disappoint any club in the EPL that can win Panathinaikos so its no big deal buddy.

What point are you trying to prove exactly, are you saying Maresca should not be praised for this winning, how do you cheer a manager up? I think is by praising him when he prove a point that he can do more than we expect, be it as it may, Maresca has been doing great so it doesn't matter if the team be played with in the UEFA conference league is weak or strong in their club side but what matters is Chelsea has won and that's it, you will be surprised that this same team can struggle it out if eventually it were to be other EPL teams they played this match with, though I agree with some of your observation that the Chelsea players you mentioned are not not in their peak, i hope they improve soon unless the want to remain irrelevant in the team.

You expected Chelsea to win and they won to meet up with your expectations, what if they failed, won't you want to blame it on the manager, though it's the manager's obligation to keep the team intact, up and going with good performance that be gets good results, so saying any club can win the team Chelsea played with look as if you weren't satisfied with the result so far, I don't agree with you that any team in the EPL can win that club, though its your opinion not a public one.

Chelsea team achieved a great win against Panathinaiko with a 4/1 goal margin. Although Chelsea are currently the most successful team in the Conference League and are at the top of the points table as they are strong. They have managed to score a total of 8 goals in the two matches they have played so far and are at the top of the points table with 6 points. Although Chelsea are not doing so well in the Premier League this season and are not competing, they are doing well in the Conference League. However, a strong attack against Panathinaiko led to Chelsea's remarkable victory, and will definitely try to play better in the future.

I mean Chelsea are competing in the EPL and they are also in good form at the moment, and they are competing in the top 5 of the EPL that is amazing, Chelsea have been quite clever lately even after their defeat against Liverpool but they can bounce back well with 4 away goals which is fantastic for themselves, and also improve the mentality of players like Mudryk can be confident again after this game.

I was impressed with Enzo he was quite sane in holding Chelsea and their style of play is quite good so I saw Barcelona they played last night, by playing with young players they are quite quality and did not waste their long journey getting 3 points.

Why all the love only for Chelsea? We have some great teams playing tonight, Fiorentina, Wien, Gent, Brugge -- these have great European traditions too!

Chelsea have been the most improved team currently and for all the above mentioned teams there is no team as popular as them that’s why everyone is all about Chelsea. For a long while now Chelsea have not appeared in any European competition and now that they are in the Conference League everyone expects things to be easy for them. They were impressive last night and facing such an opponent I would have love them to extend the lead even further but it was still a great win for them as they currently sit on top of the table.

Quote from: Stable090 on October 24, 2024, 02:31:31 PM

When the match started, pressure was on Chelsea, and I lost confidence in Chelsea to win the match, but immediately Chelsea scored their first goal, things changed, the pressure on them dropped, and they were able to score more goals in the match.

I will never lose confidence in Chelsea against such opponents especially when it just the start of the game. It a long 90’ mins for such opponents to be able to withstand Chelsea and with the way they play now i didn’t have doubts in them winning at all.

MY MAN MY MISHA MY GOD, MYKHAYLO MUDRYK!

What a play by Mudryk, assists 2 times and scored one goal, Mudryk is no longer a clown, he proving anyone here if he can play football. Chelsea will not regret for spent 70 Million Euro for this guy.

What do you mean? they only lose against Manchester City and Liverpool, they're two big teams in Premier League, except that Chelsea is unbeatable against mediocre teams.

Başakşehir FK played a really terrible game today. They conceded 5 goals against Celje, a team we have never heard of in a small league like Slovenian league, and humiliated themselves.
Losing to Rapid Wien is acceptable to some extent, but losing to Celje, and losing 5-1, is absolutely unacceptable. It's as if Başakşehir FK is deliberately taking the field to undermine the country's points. Celje's total squad value is only 8 million Euro. Başakşehir, on the other hand, is a 54 million Euro team. Players like Berat, Crespo, Piatek are worth almost Celje's entire squad. However, the game played on the pitch has nothing to do with these values. I can't understand why Çağdaş Atan is using such a team in Başakşehir. Deniz Dilmen, who has never played in the league, has been in goal for every game in Europe and conceded many goals. He conceded a total of 9 goals in 3 games. Başakşehir wouldn't have conceded so many goals if Muhammed Şengezer played. It seems they don't care about this league at all. This is very wrong, they should care about these matches both for coefficient points and for extra income. I hope they will field a proper squad in the next matches and start getting points.

No doubt there was expectance of a Chelsea win right from when the fixture was announced but I must say we need to give Panathinakos their own accolades and a little respect because their in an European competition even if it’s a third tier competition. Personally i wasn’t shocked or surprised by the selection of the team by Enzo Maresca because it was clear that he is already treating this competition as a secondary competition right from when they didn’t register their talisman Cole Palmer in the competition. Also it was announced that many of the first team players were missing from the team as they didn’t travel this was clear that the remaining players will be presented an opportunity.

Personally I am not going to count the Chelsea as title contenders but definitely this rotation are some thing what’s expected not only add competition y to the squad but to also protect the squad form unnecessary injuries due to maybe fatigue. Luckily for Chelsea this remaining players are somewhat players that have the ability to work into any other team.

Başakşehir FK will play Celje tonight. Normally, Celje is an easy opponent for Başakşehir FK, but Başakşehir FK cannot get the results it wants in Europe.
I expect it to win this match tonight, but I can't say for sure.
Let's watch and see.

It seems the result was actually the opposite of what you just said, as Celje just gave Basaksehir 5 goals to 1 in today's, despite the fact that Basaksehir did play well and had the most ball possession in that game, what I noticed they lack was a good stricker, which was literally the advantage Celje had in today's game, as they were able to convert opportunities into goals with a calculative shots on target.

However, secondly, another interesting game today was the match between Panathinaikos, vs Chelsea which ended 4 goals to 1, as Chelsea did actually played an awesome game today, as they currently top of the league table with 6 points.

I know this is the only place Chelsea fans can feel free to say they are the best team and also the favorite, but let's face the reality about that, Chelsea are the favorite to win this title from how consistent they have been since the beginning of the Conference league this season. The Blues have been getting too many goals and they look promising but coming to the EPL they become something different.
These set of players that have been used to play the Conference league scoring 4-5 goals in a single game are not the same guys who play the EPL games and the Madueke and Co don't have this very flexibility the other guys have but the coach just choose to drop the likes of Nkunku, Felix, Mudryk and Neto on the bench or maybe they are his Conference league players who knows. Enzo Maresca knows what to do to make the team to be as deadly as possible, well he has done well tonight with a 1-4 win and I hope he'll do the same against Newcastle.

Chelsea is the only reason why I consider the conference league a valid UEFA tournament. As for why Enzo plays Neto, Felix and the likes, it's a no brainer. Most coaches do the same thing — start players who aren't regular starters but should be. If anything, these conference league matches are opportunities for these sets of players to impress and if they do that at a consistent level, they might get the opportunity to even become regular starters in the premier league.

It's worth noting that opponents in the conference league are much more easier to play against than Premier League teams. That's definitely something to keep in mind if you want to rate performances.

But damn, I almost forgot Joao Felix is a Chelsea player.

I support that this is not a big win but actually the likes of Mudryk, Nkunku and Felix are not starters, they're still fighting to get to become starters, though Nkunku and Felix have much playing time than Mudryk in the EPL, this season.
I am happy also to see Felix and Mudryk on the scoresheet most especially, I hope this really boost their confidence to do more especially Mudryk who had a goal and two assists, also Benoit Badiashile did well, we can say they faced a team that they were much more confidence against, hopefully this will have a much positive improvement on them mentally to become better.

Başakşehir FK suffered a heavy defeat tonight. Celje played very well and won this match very comfortably. Celje should be congratulated.
Başakşehir FK will play Copenhagen in the next match and will most likely lose in that match as well.
It seems like they won't be able to do anything in this league.

This match just ended in favor of Chelsea. Chelsea won 4-2 against Gent fc in their historical meeting today for the opening of European conference league tournament. All credits to Maresca because he has really done a noticeable efforts at Chelsea in just few months he's been in charge of the club. Chelsea performance has improved greatly compared to previous season but Maresca still has a lot of work to do on the defense. They were supposed to keep a clean sheet in this game but they allowed two unnecessary goals. Badiasheli is not a reliable defender for Chelsea at a time of transition like this. The more goals the opponents score, the weaker your team becomes. Gents on the other hand also played well but they're not on the same class as Chelsea is now. Scoring four goals

What you expect when they're playing with second goalkeeper and many young players? obviously they're not as strong as playing with their best eleven. At least they won, because in other leagues the big teams suffered lose or draw, says like Copenhagen and Real Betis weren't able to win.

Definitely Chelsea has very high chance to win this league, their opponents aren't in their level.

Chelsea is doing what any other team might find very deficult to do now. Fielding a starting 11 that's totally different from the one that started thier last league game starting from the keeper to the players and still getting a good result as this with her second team? It's just incredible.

We have to give huge thumbs up to maresca for what he's doing with the boys and how he's managing this young talents. If things goes the part we are currently observing, in the coming years, these players will be at the top of thier game and the Chelsea team will have one of the strongest compilation of players.

No doubt that Chelsea has improved really well in terms of performance. But there is nothing to accolade Maresca here. Panathinaiko is a club with low performance compared to Chelsea.

This season Chelsea has turn their performance to what even their fans didn’t expect from with the way the end with very poorly performance last season, but this season have be their great season by defeating a lot of teams even the once strong pass them; there today match is as even surprise me with the kind pattern of the game they play against their opponents splash them with 4 goals and able to secure their goals to end the match.

This is how a teams like Manchester United suppose improve their own performance to make the fans to be so proud of them, but they couldn’t they only remain with their poorly performances without single improvement; but I can see that in this conference they’ve manage to score 1-0 may be they can able to add another goal or score this there first goal.

We already predicted that Chelsea will win this match. Because the Chelsea team is in very good form at the moment. At the same time, Chelsea's opponent in today's match, Panathinaikos, was a double team. Even in the conference league, Panathinaikos' performance is not that good. Panathinaikos was not able to win in the first match.

Today's match was Panathinaikos' home match. But as expected we saw the dominance of Chelsea players. In just 22 minutes, Joao Felix's goal gave the Chelsea team the lead. And the first half ended 1-0. However, from the beginning of the second half, Chelsea started a more aggressive gameplay. Mudryk scored in the 48th minute and Felix scored his second in the 55th minute. Nkunku scored from the penalty spot in the 59th minute to give Chelsea a 4-0 lead. Chelsea's overall gameplay was very good in this match as well.
