Weird how people continue to think Grealish will be just as effective at CM/CAM as he is at LW.

I agree but its getting ridiculous now. We need a designated holding midfielder. Even bloody Jorginho, whos a holding midfielder, doesn't sit! Either the players deliberately disobey Lampard's instructions or Lampard genuinely wants all 6 midfielders/attackers to press with no one holding back to prevent a counter.

I changed my post. Didn't realise what I was thinking.

Need to break something.

Our best football came when we played a 433. Might need to bring this back. Kante/Kovacic/Havertz

Speaking of James, has Frank ever considered developing him into a DM ala Kimmich?

Guess it was the players fault Lampard didnt address the midfield issue until the 82nd minute. Something that essentially had us lose control that entire second half.

Out of his depth if that’s the case

Think Roman and the board would be lining up replacements if that were to happen. Our spending this season is heavily reliant by finishing in the top 4 regularly.

Again, it will be a sackable offense to miss out.

It will be sackable if we don’t get top 4. Zero excuses.

Yeah I'm contempt to save Dave for United. No change for CB's for me. Silva and Zouma.

I would love to see James be the answer to our problems but I just can't see it.

Willy Dave---Silva---Zouma---Chilwell Kante---Jorginho Ziyech---Havertz---Pulisic Werner

Just needs a scolding and should be back in the team imo. Like you said, he's probably our second best CB.

Yeah. Actually made my blood boil re-watching that. Its always a bloody mix of individual errors or fundamental mistakes. Look how no one was goal side to Vestergaard for their equaliser. We even had 5 men around him!

Not getting a DM will sack Lampard

No club can defend atm

No one can defend at the moment.

Has to be Willy. Kepa at this rate isn’t a disaster waiting to happen anymore. Because there’s no waiting

I don’t think Mount on Left Pulisic on the right really affected us. We looked great up top. It looked like fatigue kicked in if anything.

Arlo stating VVD out of 8 months. Unconfirmed though

I’ll actually be surprised if he isn’t sacked by December

Already had it with this season and these injuries

Curious, how many of Saints players were away on international duty?
