Genuinely worried about his rounded upper back. He is just 41, should maybe exercise a bit to get is posture straight. other than that nothing to complain.

Wasn't expecting this post.

He was forced to play 433 today but I hope it isn't long before he voluntarily chooses it for most games.

What exercise you recommend to fix a rounded upper back?

It's good 4-3-3 but after the last few games I come to the conclusion that when we can buy in the transfer window once again, we need to spend some good money on a dm. 

Without no kante we need to have another back up to help us get some stability in the middle.

Rows for retraction.

Overhead press/Scaption for both upward rotation and posterior tilt.

As much work stretching the upper traps/levator scapular and chest as you do exercising the weak muscles.

Some neck work does wonders.

Not great defence, but I realy love how playful we look in attack. 

We have joint most shots on target (55) next to Liverpool. City has yet to play though.

[Tomo 21,681]

Early days but it feels like Hazard leaving has free'd up the attack.

Hazard was such a good talisman that the rest of the attackers seemed to let him take charge and take a back seat which often lead to nullified attacking play when he was doubled/tripled up on effectively, in theory that should have meant our other players were more destructive with the extra space but it never quite panned out that way. There were signs last season we could cope well without him (we won 20/21 he didn't start although granted he did have to come on in a few of them) but at this minute it looks like we can more than cope.

I thought we were better defending the open game today but set pieces is a serious problem, we look capable of conceding at every high ball into the box and so nearly did again, thankfully there's not really any Bolton, Stoke esque sides in the league these days, imagine us facing Delap's long throw's

I agree. Rows, overhead press and scapula raises work well.

I would add pull ups and chin ups as well

All of the above should be in every serious routine workout anyway in some capacity 

Reverse flies/face pulls work for some people who want some additional work

I have never had any effect of direct neck/ trap work as in shrugs tho

Add some stretching/mobility exercises and  isometric gymnastics on a swiss ball to round it off.

But it is also important to simply mind ones posture when walking around

Lampard on Tammy Abraham

"I supported Tammy over the online abuse. I did it out loud and I did it behind the scenes. I supported him on that as much as I can and in terms of playing, hopefully he will see my belief in him from the fact he is playing and hopefully from the fact I want to do extra shooting with him daily, every type of finishing and the first one today was top drawer. That comes from work on the training ground.

Imagine Lampard training someone on shooting, brilliant.

By neck work I meant the deep muscles in the front of the neck which tend to get weak as the neck curves too much.

Anyway I leave that there!

Men defense is horrid. 

I think I had enough of zouma. 

When rudgier comes back I much rather see a rudgier tomori partnership then zouma out there. 

But other then that keep up the good work with Tammy. 

If we had a better defense we would have won today. 😭

I doubt frank in the beginning but so far I like our team and Frank has done a very good job. 

But I honestly have never seen sub like what Frank did in non friendly game. It was bizzare. 

[Supermonkey92 1,428]

I think his derby team last year had one of the biggest expected goals conceded in the championship last year.

Oy vey

Lamps needs to hire JT to sort out that backline
