Fernando

With Isco the same, he would be like Jorgi and Fab. Good creativity but can't defend for dear life and we get trash. All worthless if you don't fix the most important problem.

We was doing good before when we played with the two of Jorgi and Kova. Once Kante came back in we had to slot him in and hasn't been the same since then. And yes the constant formation changes can be a bit all over the park, but our level of creativity has gone downhill and I wonder if it's because of our middle partnership?

If we don't go for a top cb and top lb, i don't care about anything else. Even if we get Werner we will still struggle.

And I also remember people complaining because he could not defend for dear life. And we had to put someone like Matic next to him to help him cover, but once Matic form went down it all went down hill.

Jody? At least we got to see the partnership that everyone wanted, Tomori and Rudgier and Emerson. Was not that good. I hope another season does not pass before we spend big buck on this instead of another position. And CHO needs to be send out on a loan.

So anyone still blind that we need to buy defenders? I have said it over and over again, but you guys let one game blind you. Zouma had an amazing game against Spurs and people want to keep him...... We need CB and LB ASAP. Defense should be priority number one. Sell AC, Zouma, Alonso and Emerson.

We can't defend with 5 at the back, with Rudgier back, with Kant back, can't defend at all!

Does not deserve to start game. A waste right now. Just a lost a season for him. Best to send him out on loan this January if possible.

Well not surprised before they scored i mentioned how this would be a terrible idea to play 5 defenders against such team. No creativity in the team. Against big teams, yes it's a good idea. But these type of games it's a waste!

lol we can't defend with 5 defenders against Saints!

What you expect when you have 5 defenders. It only works for big games, not against smaller team because you leave the team void of creativity with 5 defenders. Lampard done that in the past, use this template for a big game but then kept it the next game when he should have changed it. Seems like he's done it again...

Said it in Lampard thread, I think it's ridiculousness to start 5 defenders against the Saints. We should not be playing this formation at home against them.

Even if we win today, I don't think the back 3 defenders is something we should be playing against the Saints. That formation is good against the bigger teams, but again'st smaller team no need for 5 defenders!

No way you can get rid of racism in the world. But the good thing that the FA and such can do is ban people who are caught and whatever else is a plus. Also it would be stupid for people to say "Chelsea" is a racist club when is happening everywhere. That would truly show their lack of perspective because this is not a one club thing but overall in the world.

One thing I love about Lampard right now is that he has giving certain players and up tick in the resales value. I'm still in the camp of sell zouma and get someone else.... Although he did good yesterday but I want to upgrade. The good thing with Lampard is that the price of zouma has gone up because of this season. That's amazing! I will also say that after yesterday game we can also get a decent price for Alonso as we can advertise that he is good as a wingback after yesterday performance. All in all Lampard has raise the value of many players and that's also a win for me. What do you think @Vesper

120 is worth it. Look at how much Barcelona paid for coutinho and dembele. Sancho is in that bracket.

I think Southhampton

Ac has gone down in order. Should be sold this January if possible if not then summer.

I think it was as I thought before, him and Jorginho had a drop off in form. If they drop we all suffer. Let's hope with today's display his form is back.

What a pity the game got focus with racism shenanigans. Other than that great 3 points, and looking forward to January transfer window.

Hopefully we can get Sancho. I don't care about the price, after mbappe he is the youngest top player that I would pay big money to get here. I'm even willing to accept pay a big fee and let him stay in the Dortmund till summer so that that they will be willing to do the business.

If he can't handle the physical no way he can be good in the pl. I don't like the moves that Lampard is trying to make, isco and zaha if true....

Well well well, he has improve, good for him. But still don't like him.

Oh well at least we get of him the books and can get a new striker.

Well then let's just sell them giroud but buying zaha for 80 is a stupid idea. I hope we are not that daft to do something like this.
