Maybe he has gone crazy? He took Drogba's number of appearances (186) under him as opposed to goals (73).

He went all Rafa with the fact rant and got the Drogba stats wrong.

By the way, IIRC, didn't you like play this whole COVID-19 thing down when it first broke out? You said it was being overblown (or something like that) and that you didn't care about it?

Even then, Broja has barely played in first team games and is still a youth player. Him not being included in the matchday squad is hardly a surprise, especially when we have most of the first team squad back fit.

I put that situation down to James losing the ball for 5439573498543th time and putting the rest of the team in an awkward situation.

It was only Aston Villa but Kante played well in the lone DM role yesterday. Would be glad to be proven wrong if he can make that work in the long run.

It's rather crazy that the league has resumed/is ongoing when players/staff are getting tested positive for COVID-19.

Oh...lol Either way, it doesn't change the fact that Batshuayi is done at the club. It will take an injury crisis (touch wood, fingers crossed!) for him to play again.

It's bad for business anyway.

Lampard on his team selection yesterday and the Man City game... https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/chelsea-frank-lampard-aston-villa-18462887 "Yes, tentatively. I did before this game try and look at it. It is difficult because what happens in this game always affects the next one. But you have to plan and look forward so I have got an idea and I will look at how players recover first and foremost. It is a big ask because some players who have played 90 minutes today when I didn’t expect them to. Some have been out for a while and how do their bodies recover so I will look at that as well. It will be a different type of game City. It will be a team who want to play possession so a big part of our game will be our pressing. Today, we couldn’t do it. It was more about recoveries and second balls against City we will want to be more aggressive in the work we do to win it back. We will look at the attributes of the players and we will see."

Lampard on the added pressure after signing Ziyech and Werner... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/06/20/frank-lampard-admits-pressure-chelsea-players-deliver-top-four/

Lampard on more new signings... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8443509/Chelsea-boss-Frank-Lampard-calls-summer-signings.html

Regarding the CB position, it feels like we're not going to buy a new one unless we can get rid of one. There has been barely any rumors at all on this position.

It is not a case of building a team around Werner but finding different ways to play when the lineup is different. How then would you line up and play when Lampard plays Werner upfront?

JFC! Going by the number of times you guys speak about Pulisic's injury record, you all are gonna speak it into existence again!

Sorry but who is Mando?

Already equaled his best goalscoring tally in a season. Should get into double figures by the end of the season.

Only way I see Klopp leaving is if he does so on his own. Can't see FSG sack him unless they have a 'Mourinho Season' maybe. Still has 4 more years on his contract.

IIRC, we are gonna play like every 3-4 days till the end of July. So Lampard is definitely going to rotate and keep everyone fresh.

This was always gonna happen at some point. Liverpool were never going to sustain their ridiculous form from earlier this season. We saw a drop off with Man City and the same is likely happening with Liverpool, especially when they don't have any great backup options beyond their starting XI.
