Hutcho

He also had lost our best player since frank himself with a transfer ban and had the statistically worse keeper in the history of the prem. Context matters

Ziyech, chillwell both very good first half. Havertz was not good til the last 15 when he started to come into hit. He needs to be playing them balls to Werner better if we're gonna play a system with him as a focal point. But I'm sure he'll get that. We just need to get it past their first line and we can create something

Bad first 25. Good last 20.

Kepa is on loan it appears. But I'll take it

That's unlucky

Big night for Hudson and odoi and a real chance to see ziyech make an impact on the team

People were saying Frank is a tinkerman. Now he's running players into the ground. People were moaning that mount plays every game. Now he isn't playing people want him to play. People were saying lampard is an idiot for playing alonso or Emerson. Now saying they want him to rest Chilwell. Lampard knows the fitness and how players are feeling way better than us. So let's just go with it. And people can say they are "fishermen" but they got a draw away vs rennes so not bad for fishermen. And the same people saying this would slate him if he played a fully weakened team and we didn't win. Starting to think people just want to moan about anything. [emoji23]

I don't care tbh mate. The inner politics matters not one bit. Silva rightfully rested. He has to play one someone else in there. Why we nitpicking about who's 3rd choice cb. Sure id have played tomori but he hasn't so I hope rudiger has a great game

He doesn't mate. People will cry and whine about any and every little thing. It's how it works. That's a great lineup. Let's get at it. KTBFFH

It's a great lineup. I'm sure some people will cry about it on here still

Makes sense not to take thiago silva.

Chelsea been doing it for several years now. Not sure on figures but I imagine it's not a tiny amount.

If you said 3 points behind pool? It's all relative. This isn't a normal season so it doesn't seem right to compare it as if it is. There's shock results everywhere. Plus add in the fact that we had a brand new team with no preseason we were always gonna start slow. It's just great that every other team is having the same issues if not worse.

Spurs have been awful and got lucky

Who cares about current position. There's 6 points between 1st and 15th. Way too early to make any judgements based on table. We're 4 points behind 1st which is the main thing that matters. Unpredictable results all year for all teams has made this wide open. Just gotta start to get a run going now hopefully we are a lot more defensively solid

A man with sense

They're not DMs though are they. We were defensively solid. That is something all great teams need to be. Hard to beat. Another day we win the game. I'd rather us be hard to beat than conceding all over the place. Of course we can build on that and of course we aren't gonna play that formation every game. Everyone pretending lampard went out for a 0 0. He wanted us to be solid and for our quality upfront to get the breakthrough but it didn't happen. Not a bad point at all especially with the prem wide open this year.

Gotta start somewhere. Drawing 3 3 every game wasn't the answer

And we also should have had a stonewall pen

All the defence played well. Same people criticising us being defensive are the same people critisicing lampard for being naive and playing to open vs the bigger teams. Pick one. We look so much more solid with mendy in goal so now when we push forward more we should have a much better platform to do so.

Don't hate a point vs United. Showing we can be defensively solid. The attacking football will come but no point if we don't have a good base and I feel like we have a good base now

Mendy... FANTASTIC SAVE

Clear pen. Why is everyone concentrating on the silva one. How has var not looked at that

Mendy did well after his error. Very cagey first half to be expected away from home. Will open up in the second half

COME ON CHELSEA. KTBFFH
