Not so sure RLC is a 10 maybe more of a Lampard position. As front 3 he will probably play the game similar to fab, deeper and narrower. Comparing Rlc to bakayoko is difficult, I am not so sure based on last season that Rlc can play in midfield 2. He doesn't run enough for 2 midfield system.

I will be surprised if the new director is going to be Drogba or Lampard. Chelsea is a team that has one owner unlike teams in Germany or in Spain. The new director is going to be someone that Roman like not the one that the fans want.

Looks like RLC is going to be ready for us next season, Tammy on the other hand still very2 raw. I will let him stay in swansea for another season

Maybe you are right but I watch him 3 times and I see pretty much the same thing. I was not judging their performance, I was judging their trait, their strength and their weaknesses. Like Morata after his first 3 games It is obvious that he is a excellent header of the ball but need to get stronger because his hold up play is not good enough. Same with salah, I see a player with blazing speed. He can get away from his marker with ease especially when there are tons of space behind but when he arrive in dangerous area, his finishing/final ball is not great.

Must have fallen upon 12 goals & we're ONLY in November. There isn't an issue being in denial but to say he is a "poor finisher" despite have more goals than anyone in our squad is farcical. I don't know about his stats. I simply made conclusion based on game that I saw. The fact that he scored more goals than anyone in our squad does not surprise me one bit. If you watch the way liverpool play especially offensively they can be absolutely brilliant, they can play really high tempo and create chances after chances sometimes at will. Us on the other hand tend to play at slower tempo

The only player that I regret selling is KDB. Not sure why people are excited about salah. I watched Liverpool play 3 times this season. He is still the same player, superrrrr fast, but with poor finishing/final ball. People say that he is already better than willian and Pedro. People need to watch how liverpool play to understand why he is suited to the way Pool play more than us

For me every manager has their preference in term of system and what he expect from a player in certain position. Unless you are super talented, there is no way the manager will change his system to cater you. Last year after Jesus came, Aguero was on the bench most of the time, because Jesus fit the way city play better. So either you adapt, or stay on the bench. The same with player. Every player is a system player. In order for him to shine, he need to be put in a position/role where he can use his strength and hide his weaknesses. In term of Martial and Shaw, I cannot say much because I haven't watched them play at all under Mou. I have to admit under LVG, I thought United got a bargain with Martial, he was direct, pacy and strong. Like you said, maybe Mou expect his winger to track back more and Martial does not do that.

Mou is not good at developing youth that is obvious. Bailly is 30 m player, I don't consider him as youth. Rashford was given a chance by LVG not Mourinho. Youth player is imo young unproven player. Christensen is not a youth player,

I disagree. His playstyle is not a problem His problem is the fact that he cannot run as midfielder and that is a massive problem. In order to play quick short passes, everyone, and I mean everyone has to be comfortable on the ball. That include your cb even your gk. I am not sure Baka is that comfortable playing that way yet, the same can be said for Gary Cahill. We actually play similar to spurs 343. If you are talking about eriksen role, Hazard is playing that role for our team. He is the chief creator and he has the license to roam around. Hazard just play it differently because he is a different player.

I think once kante and drikwater get fit we should be much better.

It comes down to signing. The last two times we won the league, our signing has been dreadful. It is as simple as that. Jose season, it was clear that we need a cb and a fb to replace luis. We could not afford to sign stones and we signed baba and one cb that I don't even remember his name. This season. Again we need to improve our WB. We signed Zap. We need better scout and connection to other clubs because It is clear we cannot compete for top talent.

Drinkwater is not fit. There is no way Conte will risk playing drinkwater from 1st minute and then risk another long injury layoff.

It is not about after sacking that the team performance is getting better. It is about letting the manager know since the beginning that it is ok for you not to win anything as long as we play good football and you incorporate young player. Then hire a manager based on that.

Then it is time for the board to show it because so far their record show otherwise. I don't know whether Conte is the perfect guy for this team but from what he achived last season he need to be given time to build this squad. I have said it in the summer, what we need is one or even better 2 quality wb and one cb to replace terry, then our team should be pretty strong this season.

I disagree a bit on carling cup. Because you should play kids in carling but in general it is true. With team like us,united and city. If you don't win any throphy within 2 years, you are gone.

How many throphy has Poch won with spurs in 4 years ? I cannot imagine a chelsea manager keeping his job doing the same thing in just 2 years.

Yes they should have won the league for the past 2 years. We won it last year simply because of 343. Our squad is a tier below spurs and that is a fact. Pocchetino played son and alli up top against United which was a mistake. Alli need a targetman like kane or llorente to partner with. Plus Mou did what he did best, nullify other team. I agree with you that poch does not have the pressure to win every year hence he can build his squad and play young player

Lol. Spurs had worse window than us ?? They had better squad than us last season. They replaced their backup rb with aurier. Upgrade their backup stiker and add davidson to their cb rank. Their only need for sometime now is to find a hazard type player but that will be difficult for them other than that they have very little weaknesses.

Hary Winks started for England and manage to replace Dembele from starting 11. That should say something

If you have watched any Real game this season you will understand how poor their current form is. Not surprised spurs are destroying them

Then who should play ? Kante is injured, drinkwater is not fit.

Did you watch our home game when we played luiz in midfield ? we struggled with luiz in midfield. We also struggled playing back 3 last season with kante in midfield as long as fab is starting.I don't get how switching to back 4 will help

Last time we played luiz in midfield and it was a mistake and now people asked why fab n baka in midfield. Last year even when we were in flying form we look so vurnerable when fab play even when Kante is playing, that is not new especially in big game. I have no solution. We just simply need drinkwater and kante to get fit fast.

They don't replace Lukaku. I hear Giroud was their no 1 target but they guy prefer to live in London

Ok performance. Hazard is brilliant as usual and motm But Rudiger was imo the key performer. I have no idea how Gary Cahill can keep his job over Rudiger. Rudiger is so much faster which is important for a wide cb, he is so much better on the ball again another important skill to have.
