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?

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.
