Seriously, did some tinpot Liverpool fan make some hideous sacrifice before the game? The amount of luck they've had in this game is staggering

Piece of s**t Coquelin, with that horror tackle. That ex goon idiot's head must still be spinning after Hazard left him rolling on his arse a few years ago.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/09/02/cesar-azpilicueta-shows-frank-lampards-problem-chelsea-not-youth/amp/ No need to beat a dead horse, but it's really some of the experienced players who are letting Frank down atm. Others are pointing it out too Graeme Souness pointed the finger at Azpi just 2 games into the season

I agree with your points about Reece James. There is no guarantee that he will be the answer. But you cant mask Azpis faults in any way. Sure other players might not be helping, but those dispossession stats showing that he gave away the ball, not twice, but 3 times as much as any other player, including those from Sheffield United? That's just embarrassing for a player at his level. And no, him playing next to a green CB has nothing to do with the fact that he got beaten for both the crosses that led to the goals. And this is not the first match this happened this season.

Looking like Ivanovic at his worst, and when Ivanovic was at his worst, that happened in the infamous Mourinho season. Hope Lampard can address this situation sooner rather than later. Wish we had options ready from the bench. Heck, would even take Alonso as an option at this point.

Doesn't mince words here. I'm glad that he acknowledges the problem and has admitted that we were absolute tosh in the 2nd half of the game. First step towards fixing the problems.

Relax, he hasn't played any football in over a month. And we are most likely going to have to rely on him a LOT, in the games coming up.

Well, that was my point. Slowly.

Fucking bullshit again. Bunch of scumbags. Hate FIFA. Hate Bayern I hope both those entities go into fucking ruins.

Really happy with the way Chelsea and the youth played today. I think Frank's ideas for the team are slowly coming into effect. Come home, Frank. Let the season begin at Stamford Bridge.

I'm curious about your opinion. In what way was this better than Courtois? Thibhaut was actually long adamant about the Madrid move. It was no secret. That's why he even tried thanking Chelsea fans after the move, but of course, got burned by the fans when doing do so. Luiz seems to have just thrown his toys out at the first opportunity and disrespected not just the club, but his former teammate who won the CL with him. In the end I accept that all players are ultimately professional and are free to choose their paths. But there is no sugarcoating this one. He clearly didnt want to prove himself again and just bailed

Obvious. He just wants to stay in London. I'm thankful for his great moments, especiallyin the Champions league, but he really is just a faker. I'll never forget the countless games he threw away against weaker teams last season alone because of his apathetic defending. He never really cared. This is no different from Courtois. So I dont wish him anything bad. Just thank you and good bye.

I dont think you can honestly say 'pure struggling' after watching the match from last Saturday. I'll admit I didnt see Fridays match, but if you're saying that you only saw 'pure struggling' in 3 friendlies, I'm sorry but that just sounds like BS.

Didnt even know this match existed. I hate finding out about a Chelsea match only after it happened, and even more so when we lose it. I will watch the Barcelona game.

When is he expected to join up with the squad?

One legend departs, another legend returns, to unearth the next. Its poetic. Its destiny. Its Chelsea.

Always a Blue at heart.

'There is no-one better than Frank... it's the right time for him to come home': John Terry backs Lampard to succeed at Chelsea... and says he's the man to bring through a new era of academy stars https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7183813/John-Terry-backs-close-friend-Lampard-prosper-Chelsea-manager.html

Would be incredible if true. The entire old guard part of the backroom staff

Nice little video. More than talent, the most successful Chelsea players in the modern era have the most game intelligence. IMO

There's always a new lion king at the Bridge.

Hopefully next week. Dont want another 'delayed' pre-season

Whatever happens, you can't deny. Theres always something exciting happening at this club. Love it.
