Good, as it should be.

I hope we don't lose the opportunity in trying to get nagelsmann. He is the one that we need to get for next season. As I doubt he will leave now, so Lampard will finish the season and next season get nagelsmann.

Naggelsmam is the coach to get. Start the work in getting him now.

The gift that keeps on giving. After torres worst buy. In fact most of our worst buys are players from Spain.

Yes he is better then ac. But yes spend all that money on offense but did not really fix the main problem. Lampard is a fool.

Any one care to explain this new plan for the EFL? Seems a bit weird, but according to guardian the lower clubs are accepting because they need the money.

So what is your thoughts on Everton now? I don't think they will win the title but they might push higher than 8th. Probably do something similar to what Leicester did last season.

Like I said in the past Mourinho like Conte are worried about now and because of that those buys are so short termism. We on the on the hand are building for now and future. Difference between managers that don't care about future.

Rice is not bad, and he will be good if he comes here like we are seeing that Chillwell will be good despite a lot of people hating before coming on board.

This sounds more and more like him :

Good that he dos well, we can sell him for a nice price this summer if he keeps it up.

Regarding Liverpool and kloop I also remember that Dortmund under kloop fared worse after a couple of seasons. And I wonder if it's the same thing that happens to any bielsa team? Too much running and pressing that after 2 season or so the players are out. Bielsa team can play amazing fútbol but they never sustain because the demand on them is so high that they burn out. I wonder if it's the same with a kloop team?

It is why it is foolish to freak out about results this early as most teams are like in pre season mode. Lampard team will also take time for greatness. Hence why we see freak results.

Kloop team getting spank.... Lampard fault!

Agreed, when there's no pressure in the ball we need these type of players in the team. Good game and hopefully he can keep it up.

Guy is young, have patience with him. I don't want to sell him, a loan okay, but no sell option. However we can use him this season, we have a lot of games, so hopefully he decides to stay. RLC is the one that needs to go!

As I said good buy. Reguillon is good, but the buy back clause is a no go for a club like us, that's why United also turn down. Mourinho takes it because he don't think for the future, but now. Anyhow glad that we got some improvement in LB after many years. Now here hoping he stays fit because the back up are terrible.

Attack was not great, but at this point it's important to improve defense and that we did. Attack will come later once everyone is fit and more time to work together. I still think we are in pre season mode so expect freak results. My timeline continues to be November, I will have a better understanding of this team by then.

As I said before it was good it happen under Mourinho to bury his shadow that hung around this club for too long.

Lamptey did not want to sign a new contract. I remember that Lampard put him on against Arsenal but the boy did not want to continue despite seeing that Lampard was giving chances to youth last season. Not much we can do there.

I think the same give it till November. But I liked what I saw from Mendy yesterday. For me things can only improve from here.

It's what people have been saying, it's like pre season. So it's a little foolish to make much of results this early on. Give it time till November. Most teams should be settled by then and we will see the real deal.

I don't think it matters who we start he is just not good enough for defense, Lampard. This should be his last season with us and next get nagelsmam.

I'm getting worried. Second season and still have the same issues at the back. This is a great problem that is steaming from the coach.

@Vesper one thing sad of that article you posted is this: Chelsea spent the summer of 2017 unsuccessfully pursuing Virgil van Dijk and Kalidou Koulibaly to bolster Conte’s defensive options. Dang how we would have done with Conte if we had gotten those two. 🙁
