Yes some of them are individual mistake but against big team we need to be able to be a bit more pragmatic at times. Our chance creation has been excellent. We have shown that we can create chances even against big team, but on the other side we simply concede too many chances. I said a while ago that when Jose was in sky and talking about he is worried about us in big games, I said he is right. I received tons of backlash because first he is Jose, second because people think that we have performed well in big games because we can create chances, and if we finished better we should have won the game. That IMO is the wrong way to look at it. Against other big team, you have to respect that they also have good player so you have to find a way to limit their chances otherwise we will have the same story again and again this season.

Why? If this is a one time thing, sure no problem. But It is the same story against pool, city, United, leicester.

Not sure about creativity problem. Yes having better creator will help but we don't have problem creating chances we have problem stopping other team creating chances especially against big teams. People keep saying about ziyech. Is he that good? I mean really2 good, best winger in epl good (aka hazard, Mane, salah) level or close otherwise no thanks.

It is a bit worse than fab. Jorginho is a bit better defensively but Fabregas at one point was the best passer in epl.

Not sure we learn anything new about this team. We have shown that we can attack and score against most team and anytime we play against team that can hurt us, we pretty much will concede tons of chances. It is the same story against united, City, pool, and most of our ucl games. Last time I watched city for full 90 was against spurs, yesterday they look like a shadow of that team. Their pressing is not as aggressive as it used to be. They were there for the taking. It was so easy for our midfield to find pulisic. Plus not sure about their CB. If we still had Fabregas, we probably would have scored more. A couple of long ball, I take my chances with Tammy vs Fernandinho

Useless stats. Pep is happy when team to try attack the , he always praises team that try to play football against him especially when his team won.

Pretty much our lineup. Our midfield need to be very2 discipline and we need pulisic and Tammy to be clinical

Pretty much undroppable for spurs

Son heung min, what a player. Both footed, make tons of run behind

For met this is going to be a big test for our young winger, can they help our fb defensively and still provide offensive output on the other end.

After international break , I don't think so

I think Mou fit spurs quite well, they can't be in rebuilding, not when you have Harry kane in their prime.

Don't think so, barring injury or massive drop in form, Willian is our starting RW.

For me, both CHO and Pulisic can play on the right, no problem. The problem with the two of them playing together is just both of them are very direct. I personally think if we are not in top 4 race, I can see lamp trying Cho - Tammy - Puli Mount combo more. The problem with those front 4 is our midfield need to be very2 strong in ball recovery and we need to be very2 secure at the back.

The question is who should play Giroud or michy. Giroud is pretty much a goner after next season, whereas there is a chance for michy to be here.

It is impossible for Frank not to rate Giroud. The problem with Giroud is that he is definitely gone after this season.

Asking player to be a ball carrier and be consistent in final 3rd is very2 difficult because you spend tons of energy to bring the ball forward and take on player now you need to deliver fantastic pass. Not many player can do that. Basically you want a Hazard that is also a good defender, good luck finding such player.

I read somewhere that Alison said he chooses pool over us.

😁😁😁 LOL True, hopefully same with Lamp. With that lineup we need absolute monster of midfield to recover the ball, maybe two destroyer.

I am talking more on the quality that he bring. Take for example if Lampard envision Tammy Puli/Cho - Mount - rw I hate to pop people dream but Sancho won't be the best fit for that RW position. We pretty much need another Willian.

I don't think experience is the key here. It depend more on what is lampard vision for this team. That will determine what kind of winger that he want.

I didn't watch our game against Ajax, I also did not watch our game vs Watford. But against Palace. We controlled the game very2 well concede almost nothing but any set pieces worry me. Other than Tammy and zouma, our player simply can't win header.

He is right though. Defensively, we are quite open in transition and against between the line player. Last game was better, kova and Kante are athletic enough to cover ground. What really helped us so far is Zouma and Tomori ability against one on one. They are fantastic. Set pieces wise, it is simple with Alonso we are decent, without Alonso it is just awful. We didn't concede many set pieces against Palace, but they look like they are going to score everytime they did.

Nvm, it is not a penalty because it hit Bernardo Silva arm first. Still it hit TAA arm, so I have no clue about handball rule anymore.

TAA handball is not even a 50/50 decision. That is a penalty all day long, the moment he opened up his hand, that is a penalty. May as well just drop VAR and give pool the thropy if that is the case.
