Yup, Rice is the player we need to complete this team. With him we will be well balance in mid, defense and attack.

The only worry I have is that Lampard over plays mount. You got his best spot, awesome. But rest at well otherwise he is going te decline horrible like the last few seasons. But other than that this is our best formation. 4-3-3 is the best at this moment until we get rice.

Because people don't learn. Love to make a scene of early games when season after season its always the same. Don't take too serious the earlier games. You need to give time for the players to get back into their groove.

I would have loved to see the old hazard with this ziyech. Would have been a joy to watch.

But he also gets run to the ground and hence why at times he falls off the cliff. But yeah that position is his best, period.

He has done good. First with improving the defense and now improving the offense without sacrificing the defense part. Very good.

He was very good in midfield. That should be his place not forward.

Hazard as a sub would be good especially if he is on low wages. Otherwise no!

Wow crazy, terrorism? You know I have been thinking about this, Terrorism has drop the last few years. It's not often as it was happening the last few years ago. I wonder why?

I still would take Nagelsmann in the future, but right now Lampard is doing fine, especially the good job he is doing in building a squad. Remember that before Mourinho came there was some good work being done in team building by Raniere. Lampard is doing the same with Cech and company in building a good team that even if he leaves whoever takes over will have a good squad.

As more time passes I'm under the certainty that if we get rice we will be close to complete. We got good offense, and improved the defense with mendy and chilwell. But our midfield is killing us.

Barca leaving president mentions of super league. Interesting. I don't know how it's going to work but It might be a fail league I think. Don't think it will survive that much. CL it's good enough and in a couple of years its going to get revamp.

I think he has done better the last two games. I was annoyed at the defense so he has done good. Now I'm waiting to see how we will respond on the next games with relative easier opponent. I'm now cautiously optimistic.

Totally best buy of the transfer window for me. Chillwell is amazing, and I know Kai will become a monster. But we needed desperately to improve our defense and instantly Mendy has done that. Buy of the season for us and can help us transform going forward.

I thought it was good. We need to improve defense first and he is doing that the last two games.

Because of Bielsa. Sigh, I remember wanting Bielsa ages ago. Way back before getting Mourinho mark 2 but not many people in this fourm knew him because they ddin't follow his work in South America. But yeah Bielsa was the teacher of Pochetino and Pep. The only problem is that Bielsa can be crazy like Mournho and Conte are lol. And not to mention that his futbol is so demanding that players are dead after season 2 or 3.

Watching the interview and It's clear that Trump is only concern about economic development. Everything else is flying from one ear to the next. While Biden is concerned about public health.

Yeah take a while before he is up to speed. Probably by December.

Jorgi is not good as 2 men midfield. I prefer Kova, even though it's not the greatest to have in Kova and Kante. But it should in theory give us more stability as defensive. But offensive, Kova and Kante does not help us. So yeah our mid is not helping us at this moment.

And he was the player that Lampard really wanted and many where bashing Lampard because he wanted him. Now they are made to realize that they was wrong. So maybe they are also wrong about Rice. If Lampard wants him like Chillwell then go for him.

Definitely agree there, we just saw how much of an improvement going from Kepa and Andreas to Mendy and Silva. I'm sure the same thing happen when we go from Kante and Jorgi to new signings. Midfield is what is killing us, so let's hope we continue to spend next transfer window so we can finish building this team.

I think at this moment it wasn't about offense. We know what we can do, even in the Saint game. For the next few games I rather get results like this to build up the confidence of the defense before unleashing again up front. So good job Lampard for me in this game.

Improved defense with mendy in the post. Maybe it is true, we was bad at defense because of kepa?

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.
