All this assumption that Werner won't play as a ST at all is hilarious.

Okay smart ass, no one is arguing over the need to move the ball faster and all that shit. But saying Pulisic likes to hold onto the ball, take more touches, do more dribbles is just stupid. He is less of a ball hogger than someone like Willian and Willian is constantly getting selected to be in the XI. Moreover, moving the ball quicker etc is only one aspect of the play. Someone still needs to make those attacking runs, taking shots, putting chances away and all the stats put Pulisic as our second best attacking player this season, behind only Abraham, which hardly suggests that Pulisic doesn't fit Lampard's tactics like you claimed.

lol What a convincing response! But whatever floats your boat...

Talk about taking an old quote, one sentence from one (ONE!) game completely out of context to suit one's own agenda! Lampard was talking about that Sheffield United game in particularly, the overall performance and he did not even hang anyone out to dry. So, how the hell was that even specifically related to Pulisic? Anyone who has seen Pulisic properly knows he is no ball hogger like Willian and is a direct player, who aims to create danger one way or another in the box. And only on Friday Lampard talking about the Abraham-Werner competition upfront...

lol That is just your funny logic...whatever floats your boat.

It's a long list. I'm sure they have gotten a decent career somewhere but none of them have obviously made it at the highest level.

Yup and that's less than 5 across 2 clubs. And saw someone say that the youngsters Arsenal are trying to promote are on par with the ones we tried to promote 10 years ago.

Arsenal's run-in doesn't look easy either... Southampton (a) Norwich (h) Wolves (a) Leicester (h) Spurs (a) Liverpool (h) Aston Villa (a) Watford (h)

This youngsters thing is hilarious by the way. Ever since we started doing it this season, other clubs are trying to do the same and hoping to build some feel good factor around them even though their players aren't all that great.

If this supposedly non-denial was a one off thing, then yeah but it isn't. Lampard might not have explicitly said "no, I don't want to sell Kante" but he has consistently praised Kante to the heavens every single time, saying good things about him more than he probably needs to at times (not that Kante is bad or anything). All this suggests that Lampard is not interested in selling Kante, unless a club is dumb enough to offer something like 100 million or more. Then maybe, MAYBE, that might turn a few heads at the club.

Indeed. At least we have a board and an owner that care about the club being successful. Arsenal's just don't care at all. They're gonna need a BIG overhaul from top to bottom.

I'm sure Lampard and the scouts have done so. Otherwise, the links would not have gone on for so long/much. Guess Lampard and co. are confident of Chilwell's potential and abilities and can help him to improve and get better.

Still got Wolves next. Given those teams have dropped points and set up a "convenient" situation, I won't be surprised if we end up a stupid result tomorrow.

You know, despite all our inconsistencies on the pitch in recent years, thank god the club never actually let the team drift into nothingness like Arsenal right now.

Leverkusen gone 2-0 down at Hertha while Gladbach are winning. As it stands, Leverkusen are out of the CL spots...

But Lampard has praised Kante to the heavens every single time. Not sure if Lampard is the kind of manager who says one thing but does or plans to do another thing behind the scenes, unless the player himself wants to move or the club overrule the manager.
