International break. Honestly baffling this is happening. So not only do we have to worry about no injuries, we have to worry no one contracts Covid-19.

Great shout this. The tactical fouling aspect was definitely coached.

The worst thing for Lampard would be to change that backline and midfield pairing. Otherwise, improvement. Defensively solid - Check Defended set pieces - Check Killing the game off - Check

This was probably the most comfortable we’ve been all season. Need more creativity up front however.

Depends how he’s utilised. He partners Saul and when one pushes up the other stays. He’s a lot better on the ball than Kante.

We get Partey I genuinely think we are complete as a team.

As far as this season goes, it will definitely be a struggle defensively unless a proper DM is brought in. If not, I feel the best midfield would be Kante---Jorginho Havertz Or Kante Havertz-----Mount

Lampard clearly prefers Christensen

Kovacic is looking like his 2018/19 self. Been very poor so far

No we didn’t. Arsenal are trying to move the ball forward at least

Deadline day is going to be nuts

Why are people picking Zouma? It's evident the CB pairing Lampard prefers is Christensen-Silva. Mendy James---Christensen---Silva---Chilwell Kante---Jorginho Mount------Havertz--------CHO Werner

Expecting him to at least make the bench

I wish Mount was utilized like Gini is for Liverpool.

I'm curious to know if Lampard legitimately tells them not to take risks in their passing and to always bloody recycle.

We look like Emery's Arsenal

Yes. With urgency. Urgency play is actually passing the ball forward and quick enough to have the opposition defence make mistakes in their positioning for us to capitalise on. The fact we'd rather play a game of keep away vs taking the initiative against a shit Spurs team, is leaving me increasingly worried that Lampard isn't the manager I initially thought he was.

You see, I disagree 1000 percent. Playing a passive possession game against THAT Spurs team in the first half, was criminal. I would be criticising Lampard and the team if I was a neutral, and Spurs fans are now laughing their bollocks off that they got away with it! Not playing with urgency with all the possession we had and killing the game off is poor management. Period. Difference between Klopp/Pep and Lampard. Finding their feet? Werner is 5 games in with us and Chilwell is an established PL left back? What are you on about? Sorry, the excuses end here. That was unacceptable.

5 games in. Zero improvement in every criteria Frank is being judged on. Clock is ticking.

If I had a euro for the amount of times we passed it backwards instead of playing it forward with urgency, I'd be a billionaire. Honestly fuming, not going to lie. That was awful, and this is down to management.

Mount and CHO demonstrated tonight why Havertz and Ziyech were purchased.

I know the Chelsea YouTube page is showing the live prematch, but are they showing the game as well?

Lamptey will be a winger this time in 3 years. He's only ever looked good as a wing back and only in the attacking sense.

Please tell me you're joking?

We looked better than Arsenal with 10 men!
