Had a poor game yesterday. It's obvious his best attributes are leading transitions and retaining possession, however he shouldn't be the one responsible for creating chances from midfield. Again, this just goes back in how unbalanced our midfield is. We are lacking that creative spark. Something I don't even think RLC offers. James is honestly our most creative players.

James should take our corners

I’d play Emerson. Dave offers nothing at LB. Jorginho/Kante/Kovacic midfield Pulisic for Willian

He needs a break on the bench

If we aren’t buying someone in January in the hopes we end this 3 year cycle of having dead wood in the squad, then it’s a risk worth taking.

What player, that’s an upgrade on what we have, would be contempt with just a loan? Cavani wants a permanent move. You aren’t being realistic at all

There are not, and if they are, it would be just marginally. Which again, something we shouldn’t aspire to or else we will be caught in a cycle. We need genuine upgrades in quality

Nah they deserved it. They scored. The point of the sport. Know idea what we were doing.

Who’s available!!!??!

A part of me hopes we are really going to go all out in the summer. But for now, this is as good as it gets. Inexperience mixed with a lack of quality and a manager still learning the ropes.

His misuse of Kante and defending set pieces still a concern.

I too am curious to hear these names that are currently better than what we have and are available

Our organisation and marking for their goal looks like a team that has never practiced defending set pieces.

We haven't even played that bad. Just lacking in the third which has been a theme lately.

Three players with no end product against a side that sits back. Virtually makes zero sense.

Kovacic needs to come on at half or not at all. Not the type of player that is an impact sub in-game. People will moan about Mount but its Kante that shouldn't be playing. Genuinely no need for him against this opposition.

We tend to struggle against those that play 5 at the back.

It looks to be working as well so pleased Lampard is sticking with it rather than continuing to shift his CB's around. Kovacic should be playing instead of Kante but nonetheless we should be getting 3 points with that lineup.

One of those rare games where Luiz looks like prime Maldini. Controlled the back line to a tea

Palace leading

Sheffield should be all over that Arsenal backline

Fingers crossed for a good weekend. United, Spurs, and Arsenal all capable of dropping points.

A part of me hopes that Lampard won't ever touch that James+CHO partnerships. He knows there's something there.

He and Luiz own a restaurant in London don't they?

What's the noise around the Isco rumor? Seems to be picking up again.
