Lampard shouldn't need the new signings or everyone fit and available to make us good. Otherwise, are we gonna use this same excuse every time we drop points again in the future? Because not everyone is gonna be playing in the same game every time.

Funny people say this about Silva when he practically cost us a goal in that 3-3 game at West Brom. On paper, Silva is an upgrade over our other CBs but on the pitch, the jury is still out for me whether he is actually an upgrade or will he just be inconsistent as our other CBs.

Maybe I'm just mentally/emotionally exhausted from something else but I really don't know how to react to our inconsistency anymore. Should I just laugh, cry or get angry? It's just the same tired old shit every single week. We have been taking one step forward and two steps backward for the longest time possible.

As someone mentioned elsewhere, you would expect any decent goalkeeper to save the shots that Kepa did today. They were easy-to-save shots. We don't need to lower standards just because Kepa has been a shit-show.

Does it really matter? At least 2 of them have started to play regularly and we shouldn't be in situations where we have scored 3 goals and still don't beat sides like West Brom and Southampton. Never mind challenging for the title, how are we going to finish in the Top 4 if we can't beat the lower sides?

That article has not aged well......

After 5 league games last season - 8 points (W2 D2 L1) After 5 league games this season - 8 points (W2 D2 L1) * *after spending more than 200 million...

63 goals conceded in 43 Premier League games.

5 points gained from West Brom, Crystal Palace and Southampton and there were TWO 3-3s in there. Don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Don't kill games off. Can't defend. Rinse and repeat.

If we play Pulisic on the RW, we'll only be getting half of the player he is compared to if we play him on the LW...

But Pulisic on the LW is 100x better than Mount on the LW!

Why is Pulisic being played on the RW when Mount, who is not even a winger, is played on the LW!?

Are you really comparing a 36-year-old to a bunch of players in their 20s? If we don't win today, it won't be because of Silva's absence...

The old posts in this thread is just . And yes, I was bored...

And the next one is about 3 weeks away...

JFC.....

Yes but if we could avoid getting a big team in the Round of 16 and get past the round, then that would be nice for a change! There's no guarantee Christensen will play... And there's more room for error at this point in the Premier League compared to the Champions League group stage.

We have 4 days between Sevilla and Man United and the only travelling involved is between London and Manchester... As for the Champions League group, I am pleased with the group we got but since we haven't proven that we are able to put away the lesser sides consistently yet, am not taking Krasnodar and Rennes for granted (the trip to Russia is gonna be tough). Moreover, if we want to qualify AND finish top of the group, we likely have to beat Sevilla.

This is what Lampard said about Ziyech in full... https://metro.co.uk/2020/10/16/frank-lampard-hakim-ziyech-chelsea-debut-13433952/

It's easy for us to sit down here and complain about this when we don't know how's the exact condition of Silva after playing for Brazil and traveling all the way back from there. And even if you don't want to accept that argument, then what about that second one? We were always going to have to pick and choose the games for Silva to play anyway.
