Only if someone gets conned into thinking that fluke deflection was actually a good goal.

I don't belive the Corden story, but I absolutely agree that Enrique very likely was ready to begin. The clowns up top, were just indecisive about who they wanted, and decided to wait. And here we are.

Don't care how we do it. We need to fluke a win here somehow. Even a draw. I don't like how close we're getting to that relegation zone, and with the current management, any kind of shite can happen. I'd take anything to add to our cushion.

I hate how overrated Sterling is. He's no Hazard to play as a false 9. Even if he sucks at scoring, Havertz is still a better choice for that role. Or just choose Aubemayang.

His body language did not look good in the last match. Especially against opponents who he has done well against in the past. I'm just glad he already has a CL trophy under his belt (even if his medal was unfortunately stolen)., else he would easily be looking to jump ship given the clubs current predicament. And even if 99% of the fans want Mount to gtfo from here, I doubt he's happy with his old pal being given the boot like that. When Arsenal began sliding to mediocrity, the first thing that happened was that they started losing all their top talent (old and young). And this is when they were still a top 4 team. That's why I find all these posts saying that we need to sacrifice 3-4 years to get back to the top, absolutely fucking stupid,. with all due respect. If band-aids are what we need, then that's what we should use. There are 6 other clubs to compete with now, and you can't risk staying in mediocrity for too long., else the club will just end up staying where it is forever. Mediocre.

Play Datro Fofana or similar., and give development time to players who haven't had a good chance this season. Shame that we can't use this time for the new manager to bed in.

'We have an important game against Wolves on Saturday and then we will turn our attention to our Champions League quarter-final in Madrid next week. We are all going to give Frank our full backing as we aim to get the best possible outcome from all our remaining games.' Just your regular reminder about what these morons said. Probably sat down with Dr. Strange to see all the possible outcomes to make this shit decision. Fuck off you twats.

Imagine that with only 1 CB in our lineup. Genius move to leave out Badiashile. For two wingers, none of whom are likely to start a game.

Comparing Havertz against prime Hazard a bit unfair, since the latter could do a lot., and too easily. Seems daft at this point, but I still can see use for Havert in this squad. Just not as a goalscorer. His all round play has improved a lot in the past few games (holdup and off the ball movement), so I'd like to see how he would play when partnering someone more lethal like Nkunku. Felix is not that player unfortunately.

Even if Cucurella should start for this one, the idea of having only one real CB in the back 3 would be a disaster. Hopefully Silva becomes fit by some miracle, but even then he would be lacking a month of match fitness.

Stupid article from the Sun. Click bait article only made to poke fun of Chelsea which is the theme these days. That being said, the club have acted stupidly of late with a decision not to have a proper replacement lined up before giving Potter the boot.

Leaving Badiashile out of the CL squad was a colossal mistake. Stunning that people paid millions couldn't see what even armchair football experts could see coming with our injury crisis at CB.

Like @DDA mentioned, the biggest problem we face out our end is if Lampard decides to show his footballing arrogance and puts out a lineup that harms us. If he's humble enough and recognizes what had worked in the recent past, and if the players are fully up for it (possible because it's CL), then we have a chance here.

I think almost everyone agrees that this situation isn't Lampards fault (even if his tactics are costing the match) It's the people who put him in place that are to blame.

Only hope is that the players play for themselves and try to make something of it.

"Give me eleven Gallaghers, and I'll win the Champions League and the premier league" - said Jose Mourinho. Never.

The irony is that these people were quick to sack Tuchel and appoint Potter Now all of a sudden they've grown a conscience and want to take things slowly with the next appointment. Someone on the board must be a Spurs fan.

Ironic you say this., when the war that's going on is what got us into this shit in the first place.

'We have an important game against Wolves on Saturday and then we will turn our attention to our Champions League quarter-final in Madrid next week. We are all going to give Frank our full backing as we aim to get the best possible outcome from all our remaining games.' Just...fuck off. What were these buffoons smoking when they thought this would be the 'best possible outcome'. morons.

Gallagher fouls a Wolves player with his studs..

Gallaghers control of the ball..is just crap He chases the ball even when he has it.

Mount literally scored against Madrid last year., but nvm. I see your point.

Won't blame Lampard. Or even the useless Gallagher. The indecisive clowns decided to appoint a scapegoat because they couldn't make up their minds regarding a real managerial appointment. Only hope now is that we don't get pulled into relegation battle., and we leave something for the new manager to work with.

Tbf, it's against Madrid that Mount has put in some of his best performances (and more importantly, goals) I'd rather have it backward.

The worst thing Benitez did was throw away our first CWC cup, but aside from that, his team was solid, if not spectacular.
