We screwed up but after a screw up there's a lesson to be learn. I feel like that the board learned the lesson. It is why Lampard is back and will be giving support to play youth.

Ruthless? Seriously? If they was ruthless Sarri would have been long gone. ie losing to City 6 to 0...... They have lost that ruthlessness for me.

What's more stupid is that when Sarri leaves there was report that he wanted to buy him, yet when he was here he hardly play him. Bunch of clowns!

Inter Milan fans' group defend monkey chants aimed at Romelu Lukaku by Cagliari supporters Lukaku, who signed for Inter from Manchester United last month, demanded immediate action from the Italian football authorities after he was abused during Sunday's 2-1 win. A group called 'L'Urlo Della Nord' say Lukaku "has to understand" that - in Italy - fans have "ways only to help our teams and to try to make opponents nervous" - and they do not believe them to be racist. In a statement on Facebook, the group said: "Hi Romelu, we are writing you on behalf of Curva Nord, yes the guys who welcomed you at your arrival in Milan. We are really sorry you thought that what happened in Cagliari was racist. "You have to understand that Italy is not like many other north European countries where racism is a real problem. We understand that it could have seemed racist to you but it is not like that. "In Italy we use some "ways" only to "help our teams" and to try to make our opponents nervous, not for racism but to mess them up. "We are a multi-ethnic fans organisation and we have always welcomed players from everywhere. However, we have always used that 'way' with other teams' players in the past and we probably will in the future. "We are not racist and so are not the Cagliari fans." The statement went on to argue that the fight against racism should not begin in football stadiums but in schools, and that fans behave differently in stadiums than in the outside world. On Tuesday, the Italian league's disciplinary judge says he needed more evidence before deciding if Cagliari should be punished for the chants, which judge Gerardo Mastrandrea did not refer to as "racist" in his weekly report. Lukaku converted Inter's winning penalty in the game, and then glared at home fans behind the goal as they directed the monkey chants at him. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/11801850/inter-milan-fans-group-defend-monkey-chants-aimed-at-romelu-lukaku-by-cagliari-supporters

Or it could be that the board really do give the managers ears into what they want. The problem here is by the time the manager realizes Willian is no good, he's gone. Conte sacked after second season. Then Sarri comes in and wants to keep him. Of course board will not sell. That is the problem with constantly changing managers.

I wonder where Eriksen will end up because for sure if he will be sold in January.

Premier League clubs intend to discuss whether to change the deadline of the summer transfer window next month, Sky Sports News understands. This summer's window closed at 5pm on August 8, just over 24 hours before the opening game of the season between Liverpool and Norwich at Anfield. Clubs are scheduled to meet on September 12 for a routine discussion, and it is understood 'several' clubs would like to raise the deadline. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/11794890/premier-league-clubs-transfer-window-deadline-talks-next-month

The wedding crasher.

I think he might be neutralize but still better then torres and morata who we paid big money for.

We have the money after this summer. It would be good to have more english players. My first choice is Mbappe, second Sancho. Spend all the money we got and some more on one of this. I know we need to spend in other areas, but if all we can do is spend big on one target then I will not mind being one of these. And if that's all our business fine. I much rather spend more on top quality then quantity. We done that in the past, gone for quantity and it has gone bad. Just buy quality even if it means we get 1 or 2 player per transfer window.

Yeah if Lampard can get it like Conte, then I think he will the best ever. Why? Because of his history with us, his charisma, his leadership and because he gives youth a chance. If Lampard can make it as a manager for us, then we are in for a treat.

Conte is smart. I said it before in the past that Mourinho had this too. But as ages past by your not able to think fast and as well his ego gets in the way. Lampard is a noob, but Lampard is also smart This season it might be up and down, but he's also an interesting manager. Remember that Conte before coming to Chelsea he had some good experience as management. To me Mourinho mark 1 and Conte have been some of the most astute managers we had combine with the charisma. But if Lampard get it's right he can easily follow the steps of Conte. Might take a season or two, let's just hope.... Edit: and he's a fast learner and adaptable Lampard, I think about the game against a genius tactician like Bielsa. Got schooled at the beginning but after a few games he adapted. That is very interesting to me.

Yeah Conte was class. Best manager we had after Mourinho Mark 1. Because Mourinho Mark 2..... But yeah what a crap board we have. And yet they continue with their jobs......

Zouma and azpi are costing us too much. I'm sorry for azpi but he is not good anymore. Maybe move him to cb but he no longer cuts it at this position.

Him in starting 11 is a waste. I think he will go the way of giroud. A good player to have as a super sub. But not starting 11 material.

Not bad for a championship striker.

Rudgier and tomori can also work. Lampard should just drop zouma and play tomori and ac for now.

I think tomori can be better then zouma. Faced zouma out. Not good enough, and not good enough potential.

Men defense is horrid. I think I had enough of zouma. When rudgier comes back I much rather see a rudgier tomori partnership then zouma out there. But other then that keep up the good work with Tammy. If we had a better defense we would have won today. 😭

If he has not signed by now, he will not signed anytime soon. Good bye Callum

I don't think we should be selling. One year of good loan is good for him. I think it's dumb to put that option to buy.

Good group. Looking forward to the matches.

VAR is so inconsistent. It's good to have the technology but it's not being implemented properly. Oh well I guess that's what you get when you first start using it. Hopefully after some time it can get better.

To me he can become like anelka was for us. Meaning we will still need to spend big on number one striker. But perfect time for him to get into the team, get confidence and build. Because that was the issue in the past with players. Like kdb, Salah, lukaku. Never got the chance to play and build the confidence and momentum. So when your are in that stage you expect to have ups and down. After one full season of playing is when you can have a better gauge.

It's good 4-3-3 but after the last few games I come to the conclusion that when we can buy in the transfer window once again, we need to spend some good money on a dm. Without no kante we need to have another back up to help us get some stability in the middle.
