Fans on social media are trolling Chelsea football club due to their goal-scoring drought since the beginning of September.
Despite significant investments in the team, Chelsea has not shown significant improvement in their performance, currently occupying the 14th place in the Premier League after only six games.
This lack of goals throughout September has led rival fans to make fun of Chelsea, with some suggesting that the club should choose a goal scored during training as their “Goal of the Month”.
Despite the high expectations following the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino as the new manager and massive summer investment by the club’s new owner, Todd Bohley, Chelsea has struggled to find the back of the net.
The team’s goal-scoring troubles have included goalless draws against Bournemouth and a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest. Most recently, Chelsea suffered a 1-0 loss to Aston Villa.
Chelsea’s inability to score goals in competitive matches has left them without a contender for the “Goal of the Month” award, a fact that fans have used to tease the club on social media.
Some fans made the ironic suggestion that Chelsea should select a goal scored by their under-23 team, while others remarked on the team’s inability to score in the entire month of September.
The situation has led to light-hearted comments and taunting from rival fans on social media platforms, as Chelsea’s offensive struggles continue to be a topic of discussion. Chelsea’s next opportunity to break their goal-scoring drought will be in their upcoming match against Brighton in the Carabao Cup. Will they overcome the goal drought or remain in the same pickle?

Nigeria is presently ranked second in their World Cup qualifying group, although their chances of qualifying have been called into question due to their string of draws. The supporters’ criticism highlights the high standards and the team’s requirement for a major improvement in their next games.
According to reports, Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen is returning to the pitch after missing time due to a hamstring injury he suffered while competing for the Super Eagles in October. The 24-year-old is actively practising to get back into shape even though he hasn’t played for his Italian team, SSC Napoli, in over a month.

Osimhen has reportedly returned to training, although on an individual basis, despite his absence, per sources from Football Italia. Although he was absent during the first training session under new manager Walter Mazzarri due to illness, he is diligently working on his recovery through personalized sessions on the pitch and in the gym.
The Super Eagles and Napoli are both benefiting from the Nigerian forward’s return to training. Coach Jose Peseiro’s Nigerian national side made a difficult start to their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign despite his absence, earning just two points from draws against Lesotho and Zimbabwe.
As he continues his recuperation, Osimhen, who has six goals in eight games for Napoli and is presently third in the Serie A goal-scoring standings, will be looking to go back to full fitness and have a big effect for both club and country.
The careers of Messi and Ronaldo have marked the most significant rivalry in football, as both players have achieved extraordinary heights that surpassed expectations.
Numerous pundits, footballers, former players, and managers, including Jose Mourinho, have shared their perspectives on this enduring debate, indicating that it shows no signs of concluding soon. The latest addition to the discussion comes from legendary Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson.
Alex Ferguson Shares His Thoughts On Who The GOAT Is
Considering Ronaldo’s time as one of the best players under the guidance of Sir Alex Ferguson, there’s no doubt that a close relationship exists between the two.
When snooker champion, John Parrott asked Ferguson to choose between Ronaldo and Messi, the legendary manager provided a thoughtful response.
Ferguson, as reported by the Mirror, acknowledged Messi as a contender for the title of the world’s best player, but he leaned toward Ronaldo, stating,
“People say who is the best player in the world? And plenty of people quite rightly say Messi – you can’t dispute that opinion.
But Ronaldo could play for Millwall, Queens Park Rangers, Doncaster Rovers… Anyone, and score a hat-trick in a game.
“I’m not sure Messi could do it. Ronaldo’s got two feet, he’s quick, great in the air, he’s brave – Messi’s brave, of course. I think Messi’s a Barcelona player.”
Ferguson emphasized Ronaldo’s versatility, suggesting that the Portuguese star could excel in a lower-tier team. Ronaldo, who spent six years under Ferguson at Manchester United, achieved significant milestones, including claiming his first Ballon d’Or award.
Subsequently, he moved to Real Madrid in 2009, adding four more Ballon d’Or trophies to his impressive collection.
