Said it in Lampard thread, I think it's ridiculousness to start 5 defenders against the Saints. 

We should not be playing this formation at home against them. 

Struggling to get past half against a relegation foddler

[LAM09 6,545]

Devoid of ideas with this formation

This has gotta be the worst 20 minutes of football I’ve watched all year.  

 

[Laylabelle 9,296]

Cant say I'm surprised...

[Fernando 6,375]

What you expect when you have 5 defenders. 

It only works for big games, not against smaller team because you leave the team void of creativity with 5 defenders. 

Lampard done that in the past, use this template for a big game but then kept it the next game when he should have changed it. Seems like he's done it again...

[Atomiswave 6,072]

Wrong fprmation vs strugglers, 343 is good vs good opposition. Whatever as long as we win.

Conte esq of cowardice

Lampard said he went with the back 3/5 against Spurs to specifically counter the way they play. So, I really want to know what is his thinking against Southampton, because this formation seems to suggest he's trying to cover up our defensive flaws, which in turn is rather hampering our attacking play. 

[Atomiswave 6,072]

Way too slow......come'on ffs we must build on that spurs win. We cant possibly be dropping pts vs another crap team.

With Conte, you could at least excuse it because it's his fixed way of playing and he made it work (for at least 3/4 of the 2 seasons) but what is Lampard's reason/excuse?

[Milan 17,835]

Kepa, 5 defenders and Kante against Saints at home.

Come on Frank.

It worked against Spurs....

We specifically appointed Lampard to stray away from this philosophy. If the formation isn’t changed in the 2nd half I’ll be genuinely concerned.

Fuck.

Terrible so far.

Clearly it's working well against Southampton...

[Milan 17,835]

And there we go.

WHU, Everton, Bournemouth, now Saints.

[Atomiswave 6,072]

There you go.....we are losing another match at home vs crap team.......when will we learn, pathetic.
