  1. I think after Bosingwa and Ivanovic (tail end) I have lost the will to complain
  2. Maybe there should have been more rotation in attack. Speaking with the benefit of hindsight though
  3. Well Kova and Willian turned out to be hopeless and predictable subs. Pulisic should have continued and Pedro should have been withdrawn. The right side with Azpi worries the hell out of me and we were superbly lucky Leicester didn't win this one. But it is still early days and I think we will begin to turn this around
  4. Willian looks hopelessly out of touch
  5. Energy levels have dropped but this team has been unable to create anything this half. Just hopeful punts forward. I hope we can jammy a win here and then worry about our issues!
  6. And I think we will be more competitive against the bigger sides. United aside
  7. I don't think so. Only way to know is try out a team like that- young, super quick. There can be times when the team loses shape but it is worth the risk to test it out because I think a team like that could be brilliant going forward
  8. I think our strongest team is: Kepa, Reece, Rudiger, Christensen, Emerson, Kante, RLC, Mount, Pulisic, Callum, Abraham with Giroud, Barkley, Kova, Kennedy, Jorginho as options going forward and Azpi, Tomori, Zouma, Alonso as defensive cover. This season has the potential to be special if someone is able to get the goals.
  9. Can see Lampard doing an English revolution like United are doing now and sign Chillwell Chillwell and Emerson will be like having Ashley Cole and Wayne Bridge. Cannot ask for better cover
  10. I think can wait longer than this to have a discussion. We are just two games in and he has started one of them
  11. Not to forget Alonso looked best in a back-five with a third centre back covering for him
  12. Twitter is a cesspool of hate and it is good to see some push-back against racist abuse
  13. I think he was still comfortably better than Alonso who regressed massively in 17-18
  14. Laughing at all those suggesting last season that Alonso was on the same level or better! This guy is a solid left back
  15. If Conte, Sarri and now Lampard overlooked Michy for other unproven options like Morata and Abraham, that says something
  16. The Tammy bashing has begun. I think his 'bad' performance is wild exaggeration. Yes, he had one big miss but he was burning the Liverpool defense with his movement. I would not worry about a striker who missed chances in a couple of games. Even good strikers like Aguero miss several chances. The worry is when the chances are not being created. Michy, Giroud have had their time to claim the striker role. Multiple managers have overlooked Michy and even though Giroud was decent yesterday, he needs to be managed game-time wise. Abraham is still my preference for Leicester on Sunday. We need to sign a new striker but Tammy is a positive for the club this season and without him, we would have two standard options to choose from up-front.
  17. Outstanding penalties from Mount Barkley and Jorgi. Poor pen from Tammy. Gutted for him. But good performance overall and if anyone had any doubts, this will have dispelled them. This is a refreshing team able to pierce any defense!
  18. Regardless of the result, this has been some performance. We are not shite after all!
  19. Abraham and Mount burning this Liverpool defense for pace though. Great to have options in attack. Last season, it was just Hazard, Willian, Pedro creating
  20. Zouma has done well against Salah so far!
  21. Has been a refreshing performance after Sunday. More good than bad. Liverpool may mot be full throttle but this Chelsea team is giving their all and looks to be able to break through any defence and create chances. Need to finish one
  22. Tomori instead of Zouma. Pulisic instead of Mount/Barkley We go again
  23. The reason he wasn't given a run was because of his obvious flaws I think.
