I'd expect most on this forum for starters. Just for the laughs, TBH.

Arjen Robben would like to say 'hi'. (Obviously hope Pulisic doesn't become like Robben in regards to injury...)

One year into his regime and people are still reading so much into Lampard's pressers, especially post-match. Changes are inevitable, yesterday's match makes no difference. Lampard is like a broken record these days whenever we lose a game. He talks about this problem, that problem and yet for example, he had chances - during drinks break and HT - to sort things out or change things around but nothing happened yesterday. The back 3 didn't work and has never worked against Arsenal and yet, he started with it and stuck with it.

Fair play to whoever did this.

👆 Understandable given his age but his lack of pace and mobility hurts us so much when we try to build up play.

The hamstring injury must be pretty bad for Azpi to end up in tears. When I think about it, can't believe 2 of my current favorite Chelsea players ended up with the same injury in the same game in a cup final that we lost. FUCK THIS SHIT! 😭

Became the youngest scorer in an FA Cup final since Cristiano Ronaldo. Became the first American to score in an FA Cup final (hardly a surprise). Scored a great goal. And then picked up a hamstring injury. Seriously...FUCK THIS SHIT MAN! 😭

If anyone still cares about this...

Pretty sure they get demoted to a lower league if they have a bad game etc. But what is the point overall? If they are shit, they will still be shit.

Lampard has to stop with the back 3 nonsense next season. It is fine if he plays that for specific games but he seems to have tendency to think 'oh, it worked in this game. so, let's use it for the next one too' even though the formation was used for a specific opponent. Things have always gone south in subsequent games when he has done that. Needs to bin that idea and stick with his overall plan!

Why wouldn't I? I am a stalker after all.

Long story short, Lampard has no excuses or hiding place next season.

Had our defenders defended as well as or Lampard coached the team to defend as well as you defend Lampard here, we might have ended up winning a trophy. Azpilicueta, Tomori, Alonso and IIRC, Kovacic are just few other players - other than Kante and Pulisic - to have suffered muscle injuries at one point or another this season. That is all I'll say... (and) Or maybe we just had managers with coaches who know how to condition the players etc. Mourinho had Rui Faria for example. Heck, we even have Eva Carneiro - although her role was different - to treat players' injury. There is a reason why our injury record over the years have been good and it's not all down to the players because we all know athletes can get injured easily if they are not conditioned or trained properly. And you should know it since you sound like you have experience in this department.

Is there even a guarantee that we will buy ALL of those this summer? Yes, we need to improve in those areas but we also need to sell some players off to generate funds and a problem now is finding buyers for the deadwoods in this current pandemic situation.

Eddie Howe has just left Bournemouth. Do you want him as the manager?

Until 2018/19...

Maybe having a go at them might help us once in a while. Can't imagine Ferguson or Mourinho keeping quiet if the referee was as shit as Anthony Taylor today.

Your replies to this is as predictable as our injury problems. Bloody tired of the excuses given to Lampard on this by now. Look, I don't care if it is Pulisic or Kante or someone who is injury prone at this point, the fact of the matter is A LOT of our injury problems have been muscle injuries. That points to something wrong with the conditioning work or how the players are being worked in training. When was the last time we had so many injuries of the same kind in one season? Maybe Lampard thought he was a fitness freak in his playing days, could play 15-20 games in a row without getting injured and now expects his players to do the same and is training them like that. It hasn't worked and it won't work and the latest two such injuries have come after a free week! We will not get anywhere if we keep having players, key players getting random muscle injuries out of nowhere. Who's to say Werner, Ziyech or whoever next season won't suddenly pick up one such injury and then miss like 3 months or something? Then what? Moreover, how many times have we had a free week this season to prepare for a game, only to look tired or lack any intensity required to win the game? Our performances have been better when we don't have a free week compared to when we have! If you want to keep bailing Lampard out, fine go ahead but mark my words, if he doesn't look this for next season and tweak his training sessions, the same problems will occur and we'll be having this same conversation again.

FUCK THE REFS!

This tweet below was posted in January and it still feels appropriate...

For starters, he might want to analyze his training sessions because we have suffered fucking far too many muscle injuries and the latest two have come after a free week!
