Magic Lamps

Exactly. we allowed even less shots on average last season and had one of the best shots on target and xG statistic in the league last season still conceded a ton of goals. That’s the whole point. we concede a lot of goals despite conceding fewer shots than most teams. Gk makes a huge difference we are yet to concede a goal when both Mendy and Chilwell are playing. Albeit in just 155 mins. If we are still shipping 2-3 goals per game when those two are consistently starting, I am not gonna defend Lampard anymore but until then there is the benefit of the doubt

He is correct tho. We lost a lot of balls due to trying to play our way out of trouble when we clearly couldn’t deal with the press anymore. Not that this is the way to go for us but we shouldn’t over complicate things when the players are out of steam anyway.

Really happy for Ross. He will fetch us a ton of money

at least we are not th eonly team that fucks up leads

If the board forces Lampard to play Kepa anyway and sack him otherwise, the next manager will the same problem

Dross cant really play in a double pivot tho

It’s true he had a terrible game and one of the main reasons we got dominated in midfield whenever Soton turned it on.

Dp

Lets hope they lose on purpose to drop into Europe league for their obligatory sweep in that competition

I have to retract my statement. 2nd Goal is 90% on zouma. After playing that shit odd he just stops running and walks when he could easily have made a tackle if he had made an effort. It’s incredible. He is just walking. Abysmal

Reece James and Zouma have also improved during is reign. lampard basically made Mount, Tomori and Tammy even tho both are still average. I woudl say he has improved BArkley and Kovacic played the best season of his career last season.

Must be frustrating to have a shit defence in behind whether at CFC or at the NT

he was talking about chopping and changing the back 4 tho

watch you mouth and remember what you promised. there was not chopping an dchanging. all changes were forced FFS

do you really want a defensive coach like simeone or allegri take charge of a team that has 400m+ worth of attacking players in it? not that i care much but i doubt it is what the fans or the club want. Poch was just as shit in his first 2 seasons at tottenham Nageslmann has had similar problems in his career. failing to break down buses, taking chances and letting leads slip. They are all human. I dont really see any coach out there slotting right in and improving us drastically.

At least Lampard does not pin it to individual errors this time only but concedes that we failed to control the game, invited too much pressure and gave the ball away too often.

?Have we ever played Sevilla in the last 15 years or so? Really cant remeber ever having faced them.

no Mendy no party. Maybe we can get a draw with some luck and less than 3 mistakes leading to goals by the keeper. The worst is we will probably try to shithouse it again like vs Liverpool.

no wins till he comes back for sure.

what people dont realize is that this is not a regular season. its a super condensed corona season. Margins in games will be much narrower, there will be more upsets. This is PL not bundesliga. a lot of lower level teams have fewer games and massiv energy advantages. Every game we will play this season has the chance to being right on the edge. there will be spells were you get dominated. Man City got dominated last matchday. Liverpool got thrashed by villa an dheld today. When you gift you opponent 3 goals you tactics can be the best you are not gonna win.

This. Torres as well as Kepa would have been frozen out way earlier if they hadn’t cost that much

Half to blame for the 2nd goal. But AC was shaky all game

The problem is Willy is not any better. We are fucked every time Mendy is out.

We would ruin it all by sacking him now. And it will not happen anyway. Lampard will get his 3 years i suppose no matter what the fans say. I dont want allegri or simeone or other super defensive coaches. we are heading in the right direction. scoring enough goals. Poch I dont know. could maybe work. is not a winner tho.

should be his last straw there. how he tackled air for the 2nd goal TWICE was cringe. but being so super passive and reactivefor the 2 other goals were he again makes it look like he is not at fault by reacting late is what really makes him the shit goalie he is
