Lampard on Abraham, CHO and Kepa/Caballero...

‘They’re both injured,’ Lampard said of Hudson-Odoi and Abraham's absence.

‘Tammy is the same injury that has frustratingly come from Arsenal, played against Leicester, and now out. We will see how that develops for the games ahead.

‘Callum pulled up with a hamstring a couple of days ago in training which we have been assessing. He’s out as well, hopefully not for too long.’

On his goalkeeping decision, the boss added: ‘It’s not an easy decision. With every player in the squad I have to go on form, from what I see on the training ground, off the pitch and what I see in performance.

‘It doesn’t mean anything long term. We have to be competitive here and people have to show. Willy has been a fantastic pro, trains really well, came in against Leicester and made a couple of really good saves in the game.'

Kepa also makes great saves..then makes some alwful ones. Neither is great!

One below Tottenham, 2 at best, we're fucked.

It's important not to lose! Forget about Spurs. 5th place gets you CL. Sheffield is not a threat. So with a draw we are still 6 points ahead of first real threat for CL place. 

[Hutcho 8,443]

Come on boys. 2 wins in 2 games and we can cement our place in the top 4. It's a big ask. But we are at home.

Can't lose though that is for sure.

So either Giroud is a walking zombie, or Lamps simply rate Bats much more. WHich doesnt say much cuz Bats is utterly horrific in every facet of the game.

His GK decision is just a bad one. He can't manage based in what people say on Reddit. Kepa making mistakes still is the best option. Willy was abysmal against Leicester. The 2 goals he conceded were pretty pathetic. 

Benching Mount was a great decision, to other side. Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic is the best midfield line up.

Until that set in stone not taking anything for granted.

Naaa, City will win their CAS appeal. We must finish 4th.

No, they won't. 

[Vesper 27,307]

I HATE this lineup

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

only Kovacic, Jorginho, Reece, and Rudiger are decent and playing in a correct position

so so fucked up 

we are a broken club

I will be shocked if we pull this out

why the fuckery is Giroud not starting???

only consolation is Manure has a shit lineup as well

my dog how far BOTH clubs have fallen

disgraceful

 

finally, I do not want to ever again hear about, 'Oh, 3 wingers are enough for a 55 game season'

that is bullshit

Bruno Fernandes loves talking long shots and is a great goal scoring midfielder. Hopefully no howlers from Willy when those long shots inevitably come.

[Vesper 27,307]

I am going to stop posting for a few minutes

we are raging atm and I don't want to go cray full stop argy bargy

He didnt really feel me with confidence last time and the feeling does seem to be man u will win easy 

[NikkiCFC 7,579]

If Mourinho is our manager he would use RLC and Pulisic here. At least from the bench. RLC played 60 minutes like three weeks ago. Pulisic is in training for a while. "if player is fit to train he's fit to play". Desperate times call for desperate measures. 

[Magic Lamps 11,449]

due to the mandatory Caballero howler per game we need to score at least once. Draw is about the maximum possible outcome but i am somewhat sure Utd will crack our code again. they just need to sit back and wait for us to give them a penalty or something

[Atomiswave 6,072]

Optimism level is hovering around 1 on a scale of 1-10 imo. As Pizy said this really shows what a poor squad we have amassed here. Now imagine if we didnt have our youth to bring in.

No, Mou would have never played RLC. RLC would be loaned out or would be playing only for reserves. Mou always slaughtered RLC in his press conferences. Also, we should stop playing injured or not fit players. Tammy played injured against Leicester and he is still not fit due to Lamps playing him too much. Give him his recovery time.

Im worried about Bruno Fernandes shots from distance.  One will go in if he catches them right, can definitely strike a ball
