Wish you hadn't posted that, gonna be a massacre. Btw performances against Estonia don't mean anything, it's not hard. For nations like Holland it's a training match, especially at home.

Mate you can't always point at everybody else but the goalkeeper. Kepa's individiual performances have gone down, it's pretty clear to see. I hope he picks it up, periods like this are expected for such a young goalie.

Absolutely adore that man. I had my doubts at first like many of us, like was he here only for Sarri, was he good enough etc.. But he has totally won me over with his attitude, the fact he never sulked or bashed anybody and how he's performing like a winner. Truly earning his vice-captaincy in just his second season.

Great article

What a fucking clown. Moldova is somebody who even us Estonians could beat.

Lampard said he was going to sub off Pulisic before the goal, so it was not because of hitting the post.

Lingard is a horrible player, I never understood the hype around him other than a few good games he's had throughout the years. Willian is king of consistency compared to him.

Makes me wonder how much money the club has collected already Also makes you realize the rich do live in a different world.

Meritocracy seemed to be an empty word with our previous managers, but we finally now have it with Lampard. We can see it ourselves it keeps the players on their toes as we rarely see lazy performances anymore. This puts a rocket under every player's ass who wants to play regularly.

I very much like this idea especially if Mount is out too. Being without both Jorgi and Mount, who are paramount to our game, might be too big of a risk to try and go with the same style. 3-4-3 has worked for us before and I don't see why Kante and Kovacic can't do a job there as a pair, chuck Azpi at RCB and allow Reece to bomb forward and put crosses in. Think that could work very well.

@Vesper streams for that game please?

Which game has the most at stake atm?

Prior shit decisions don't make another shit decision excusable. The one on Pulisic was imo 100% foul, the guy didn't get the ball and clipped Puli's foot. The second one was handball, although not sure if it warranted a yellow... but I thought he got that yellow for mouthing the ref off? Otherwise why did the ref wait so long to give it?

Out of all our youngsters, I think Reece has the highest chance of nailing down a starting spot for years to come even if we change managers.

4 minutes ET? Who bribed the ref? One substitution is automatic 30 seconds added (6 subs = 3 mins). Then we had this several minute goal celebration and VAR debacle, 2 red cards and other stoppages... and the guy adds only 1 minute??? It should have been 7 mins as an absolute minimum. But wtf were we doing in defence a lot of the times? And then can't score 2 past 9 men in ~25 minutes... not what I expected from this chels. This was a one-off freak game though so let's forget it quickly.

What's up with everybody writing in such a retarded way lately? Been seeing this annoyance all over the internet lately.

Jorginho-Busquets Kovacic-Iniesta Gilmour-Xavi ?

Pulisic to assist Bats

It does look like Sarri's 4-3-3 didn't suit him. That, plus he's had time to adapt and obviously Frank is a brilliant coach who improves his players.

The article is behind a paywall, but judging by the snip you posted, then the whole presumption of that article is that the journo knows what Lampard's instructions were. He doesn't, so a waste of time.

Has there been any word that Rüdi's fit? According to physioroom he's not fit until beginning of Nov. Otherwise yeah of course he should start if he can. One problem with my line-up though is that this midfield is too short.

Kante should be fit, so perhaps rest Jorginho and play a Kante Gilmour midfield. Reece and Emerson should also start. Caballero James - Zouma - Tomori - Emerson Kante - Gilmour Pedro - Pulisic - CHO Bats

CHO? His performances have been nothing special, he is far from displacing Mount who at the moment is an integral player.

Arsenal, Man Utd not winning and draw between Spurs Liverpool would be perfect today.

What about his super save from that deflection before? I would rather talk about that as I thought it was an immense save to make, already dove left but was able to react with his hand to the ball's changed direction. Regarding Jay's goal, it would have had to be another super save, can't get too greedy.
