Reminds me of LaFawnduh and Napoleon Dynamite brother.

Yeah biggest mistake of the decade. But it's good that it happen because it remove the shadow of Mourinho. Before, no manager was able to measure to Mourinho. I remember when we had Carlo and other manager it was always compare to Mourinho by many fans. No one was able to measure. So in a good sense it's good that happen so we can move on from that.

It does not, but question is in January transfer window is Dembele an upgrade to Giroud and Bats? Because I feel like not just Giroud will leave but also Bats. So we need an upgrade asap.

Perfect scenario for Dortmund. Cash in on Sancho and get back Aubameyang. Lets' see if anything comes about.

Second time I noticed rudgier screaming at kepa. I don't know if that's good or bad....

Screwed up again and start with the back 5 that he needs to change plan? Not good.

I agree it's what I noticed, early season the plaudits where on the jorgi and kova parternership. But ever since kante came back that has brought disharmony in that mid pair. I also think that jorgi has a dip in form similar to last year and picking up late half of the season. So I do see this as a big concern for me, and I don't know what Lampard will do regarding his midfielder problems. I'm starting to lean on the @Vesper camp in which selling kante this summer might be a good idea. Since we are moving away from that style of play that is suited for him and his age it might be best to cash in.

I call it the Malouda effect. Where you play an awesome game once in a while, before going back to being average.

We stuggles because we are losing. It becomes harder. The players lose motivation. So yest best to spend money in jan to upgrade the defense. If we can sell Alonso and get Telles, i'll take it. That's an upgrade and Alson sell will offset the cost of Telles Telles and Emerson are good for now, and in the summer sell Emerson and get Gaya or Chilwell. For CB easy option is Ake and sell AC as AC might offset the cost of buying Ake. In the summer sell Zouma and go for the Gimenez, Konate, Romagnoli etc etc.

Guy is 27 and don't know if he will adjust. I much rather spend more on someone like Gaya, But yest Chilwell continues to be number 1 for me, next to Gaya.

Knee jerk reaction guy. Makes decision after only game.... It would be the same for any other player we want, they will have one bad game, like Gaya and Grimaldo and anyone else. It will never be perfect.

Liverpool first team since Arsenal that might go unbeaten. Kloop has done an amazing job. Much more better then Pep for me.

After nearly two seasons and buying some players. Your comparing that to a coach that has not gotten any buys and is using youth.....

Agreed I think with the offense we have, we should be able to at least grind out a 1 nill here and there. But can only be done once the team has confidence that they have a monstrous defense that will hold them through the entire game. I much rather waste all of our 150 million in trying to fix the defense then anything else.

^agreed that is why I'm not mad at how the season has gone. If anything I'm pleasently surprise since I expected us to be 7 to 10th place. For me it shows Lampard is a really good manager despite the run that we are in. He is making some rookie mistakes like today using the 3 at the back but he so far has exceeded my expectation. And just like United is backing Ole, we will back Lampard, as Lamps is way better then Ole.

Lad is young, your just a knee jerk reaction guy. Lad needs play time away from here, like Tammy and Mount did. He will be back, but not this season.

Well he is of no use right now and sitting here will not help his career. For the better of his career send him out on loan. I think the Saints will take a shot at him, or some other clubs. And then just buy a new winger with Cho and Pedro out.

It's not him but many managers. As of late Conte and Sarri we always start good and fall apart this time. It's not the coach but the players. We need to improve the defense before we can go anywhere because that's been the problem since Conte and does not get resolved because we spend all energy on sacking and getting a new coach. By the time the new coach knows who he wants and who wants to sell he is gone and we keep the same players. Good thing is that this time the board will keep Lampard and back him in the transfer window. Just like united are doing with Ole.

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!
