I really doubt we're suddenly hammering our wage structure through the roof.

Sounds like both Pedro AND Kante will miss this game through injury. https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2019/08/26/frank-lampard-praises-mason-mount-s-impact-and-updates-on-pedro-

Suits Marina's penny pinching approach.

Indeed. They have won only 4 of their last 15 league games, losing 8 of them. And those 4 wins came against lesser sides in Palace, Brighton, Huddersfield and Aston Villa. Gotta wonder if things have just grown stale at Spurs. They haven't really added any genuine quality players and have been relying on the same core of players. Can only perform consistently for so long.

GIVE HIM THE NO.8 SHIRT!

But it seems to be a common thing with them.

Am always wary of players doing well for their national teams. And I think we're fine with the English core. As @OneMoSalah pointed out above - if all goes well - we'll have James, CHO, Loftus-Cheek, Abraham, Mount and Barkley. That can pretty much form the spine of the team going forward. No South Americans please, if possible. They can be difficult to handle, which isn't ideal for a team.

I hope Lampard doesn't target English players for the sake of it. If they are good, then fine (I don't think Declan Rice is). Otherwise, look abroad.

He also did well for the first goal. Took on the defender, played the perfect pass for Azpi to cross the ball first time for Abraham.

That penalty he gave away was truly stupid. One of the stupidest penalties you could ever give to the opponents. Might as well just let them have a free goal.

This has backfired spectacularly.

Wasn't expecting this post.
