No idea. If he’s expected to start against Arsenal then fair play, but Lampard would be foolish to tire Dave before a big match against Arsenal. Both Dave and Willian should be rested

Weird. Very weird

Would laugh my arse off it happened. Mourinho slowly spreading his cancer

I’d say that 2012/13 season was his potential/prime. Think he had something ridiculous like around 20 goals and 35 assists. Then Mourinho came...

This works well for our rotation. Play the 4-2-3-1 with James, Emerson, Jorginho, and CHO all in. Then play the 3-4-3 against Arsenal with Alonso, Dave, Kovacic, etc back in rested.

Imposes too much risk. ‘Walking out’ because of your moral standards is well and good, but when the club suffers as a consequence in a result driven business, its completely absurd and isn’t in the least bit contemplative. I will reiterate, not one chairman or owner will go for it if it means their club, an asset they own, will suffer financially.

I just don’t agree with spending almost 100 million for a player who is only marginally better than Emerson

Look at his marking on Mahrez's goal over the weekend. Virtually identical to the one against us and Emerson got slated for it.

Again, that's just false. Poch, Wenger, and even Mazzarri were playing 3 at the back well before Conte. Conte just made it popular again. I reckon Mourinho won't last two seasons. It's already been reported that Spurs won't spend in January. Meaning Mourinho will soon whine when things don't go his way, throw people under the bus and inevitably create a toxic environment that have players down tools.

Of course there are, however, at the expense of a Football Club risking its financial strength by taking the moral high ground. That would not be one of them. That would be idiotic. Not one chairman will be behind it and rightly so.

I'm in full disagreement of this 'walking off the pitch notion.' What exactly happens then? The match is deemed as a draw? Cheers, next time a team is losing 0-2 their fans will just start making monkey noises.

I think Tomori+Rudiger will be a solid pairing. I'm still not entirely convinced if we need a top CB in the summer. Not until I see how those two fair with each other. Zouma is a more than adequate back up option. Christensen is a lost cause. Still the same player he was 5 years ago.

He hates Spurs too. Already a Chelsea legend.

Kepa James---Rudiger----Tomori---Emerson Jorginho Kante-------Mount Willian-----------------Pulisic Tammy

Stop. Please. He will be praised when he should be, and no doubt he will be today. But the 'hate' or criticism Willian receives is 110% justified.

We were fortunate Spurs were gash but tactically, everything was spot on. Still horrid in the final third with our decision making, but can't fault the effort the team put in and the defensive structure Lampard set up. Finally a big win.

Violent conduct is violent conduct

Correct. He had never scored against them before today. He scored a brace 2017 FA Cup semi final!

Quite literally a tactical masterclass display that first 45 minutes. Willian genuinely hates spurs doesn’t he

Interesting. No idea why Pulisic isn’t playing

I like it too.

He has a big hurdle to climb to come back mentally. CHO already looking like he's struggling.

Sancho for 127 million it looks like. Think loads of clubs will be lined up. Hazard saga 2.0

Silva and Mata had no problem

A change of scenery would do him good. Despite his success, always felt he would’ve benefit more if he had moved to Barca instead of Real. With no indication of how long Ruben will be out and the fact Barkley is useless, this move makes sense.
