We are in a massive transition, with injuries. Bayern aren’t and have the most lethal ST in Europe. Not surprised in the slightest.

God I wish someone in the presser would ask the status on Tomori.

Christensen will likely play but it will be a mistake I reckon. Lewandowski is as physical as they come and we all know Christensen is a pussy cat against these types of strikers. What I would play. Kepa Dave-----Rudiger---Tomori James------------------------------Alonso Jorginho---Kovacic Mount-------------------Willian Giroud

He's got a well known habit for picking up injuries that relate to muscular imbalances. Either he lacks the muscular strength in his legs or doesn't recover properly after training. I'm think it is both given how frequent these injuries are. He has the talent to play at the top level, but not the body. It's the very reason I've advocated in getting Sancho. I don't think Pulisic will ever be a player we can solely rely on given his injuries are very much self inflicting given the nature of his muscular system.

It’s laughable really. Dave needed to have his leg broken for officials to do anything. Just like Andre Gomes. This isn’t a VAR issue. If anything, VAR has helped expose the incompetence of English officiating

Being arrogant and embarrassingly tried to prove a point to the board.

Going to be a shame for England this summer. TAA and James both offer a lot of creativity that virtually no English midfielder has to offer.

Great offensively, terrible defensively. Marcos Alonso.

Great game? He lost the ball in silly areas and was fortunate Spurs didn't captilise on his errors when they were at goal. Honestly bar the goal he was still the liability he was.

Like I said, no need to fear Spurs with Mourinho.

Like I said in the first page, going off of the intensity he showed the away fixture, I think he loves a game against Spurs. Particularly against Vertonghen Sancho a must for me too.

Hope's he's realised how useful Giroud is. Good on him for picking that lineup however I will have no doubt in my mind he will continue with Christensen, which is a bad idea. Looked good today but faced virtually no strikers. Lewandowski is as physical as they come.

Mount loves mugging off Vertonghen

It’s already known Lampard won’t throw his players under the bus.

These fifa career mode transfer posts are so boring

Club needs to make a choice here. Accept mediocrity, or strive for better.

Saw someone post this lineup and I agree 100%. Kepa Rudiger---Zouma---Tomori James-----------------------------Alonso Jorginho-----Kovacic Mount----------------------Willian Giroud

If we continue with the progressive football route it won't matter who Lampard brings in (in the hypothetical he gets sacked later on)? CHO/Pulisic/Ruben/Mount/Kovacic/Sancho/Werner/Ziyech/Grimaldo or what ever, any progressive manager can work with these players.

Starting to lean with Tomo on this, we may need to bite the bullet and get Sancho. Looking like a generational talent.

Cavani? Again, he didn't want to come here. I for one am getting sick of hearing Lampard complain of the lack of striker options. Giroud should've played all of Batshuayi's minutes and even some of Tammy's this season. Ajax didn't want to get rid of Ziyech in the middle of the season and the club aren't going to spend 80 million for a bang average defender in Chilwell. What other players made Lampard's list that would improve us? In January? The club doesn't want to make the same mistakes it did in 2017 with filling this team with players who at best could be described as Bang Average. It is not all doom and gloom as you make it if we miss out on CL. You make it sound as if its 'game over'. Arsenal managed to secure Pepe, Tierney, and Aubameyang without being in the CL. They are now rumored to be front runners to get Upamecano. Are you telling me they are more attractive than us? This is a side that hasn't won the bloody league in almost 20 years and haven't qualified for the CL in 5.

Because Cavani was the only real target we could've brought in, and he's saving himself for Atletico. It genuinely sounds like you would risk the club bringing in more Zappacostas, Drinkwaters, Barkley's, etc in January just to secure Top 4, not even considering the detrimental risk in the long run.

Son out for the season according to Mourinho. Yet another saving grace for Lampard.

Becoming infuriating hearing his interviews. Just recycled nonsense.

I'd start Mount. This games seems to mean something to him based off of the attitude he showed the 1st match. Kepa James------Rudiger---Tomori-----Emerson Jorginho----Kovacic Mount CHO---------------------Willian Giroud/Tammy

Forget Alonso Forget Willian Forget Pedro Batshuayi needs to be the first to go in the summer. Bang average.
