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?

Told my wife I'm getting a glass of wine and popcorn.

Will we actually watch a debate tonight, or two senile men taking turns swiping insults at each other?

We looked better than Arsenal with 10 men!

I'd like us to get a proper DM in before the window shuts.

At fault for the second goal and has looked his usual self. Looks like his hattrick of assists against Fulham was his one good game in 10.

Loan here. Loan there. Loan everywhere. Shut up and buy.

What's Rice?

How long have we been asking for him to be upgraded on? 2017?

@Vesper What's the TL;DR version

Then what should we do? We know what we are getting from both Alonso and Emerson. Two LB's who are clearly not good enough and are prone to defensive errors. Do we then chuck Dave there and completely null that left side's width, which has proved to be equally as frusturating? I really don't understand the logic here. Fact of the matter is, we have no 'good' option for that left side until Chilwell. Personally, I'm glad Lampard threw him under the bus. A player with his experience, should not be prone to these errors over and over again. But then again, we already know what we are getting.

What are Rice's stats in transition?

It's evident we need a DM and the team will continue to look defensively poor until the space in midfield is covered.

Sensible Liverpool fans stayed quite about it. Wonder why.

40 million + Ruben?

Finishing top 4 comfortably is probably the only requirement Lampard must accomplish imo

Havertz needs to adjust to the pace. It’s clear to see

We go 3 at the back we are nailed on to lose Saturday. Hasnt that always been the case?

I lied. I'd like to see us give it a go here. Mendy Dave---Tomori---Silva---Chilwell Kovacic----Barkley Havertz Mount--------------------CHO Werner

Rest Mount, Werner, and James. I'd still start Havertz.

My point is that neither option we have at the moment is good enough. Be it Alonso, Emerson or Dave. Emerson has been given a run of games under Lampard and has continued to look an utter liability. Either Lampard plays two defensively poor left backs or Dave who completely limits our width on the left side, which has been infuriating time and time again. There's no right answer here.
