Magic Lamps

Lamptey is a great wingback but I would not want him over Reece or Azpi as right back tbh. Also people would bang on about how tiny he is when he inevitably got bullied by average-size wingers. RJ completely shut down Sane who is very strong for his size himself such that he moved into the middle for easier prey in Christensen. If we had a left-footed RJ in place of Alonso, we never concede the first. Also we have Lawrence and Sterling in the u23 who are very highly rated as well. Hence, I am not at all bitter about his departure.

tbf i love Conte's style. So quick, powerful and resilient. what i didnt like is how unprofessionally he conducted his business and how he always watned washed up players like Candreva and Llorente. If Lampard who is handling himself extremely professionally and has signed only good or great players so far, can emulate Conte's counter attacking style, I would be over the moon.

If we play 4-2-3-1 there is no no.8 tho. He should obviously not be starting at all. Dont mind him as a squad player but given we can get 50m+ for him we should really look to sell at some point. I think those 3 games (incl the preseason one) have shown that our best midfield is clearly without Mount, RLC and Jorginho.

Spurs play Leyton Orient so for sure it will be vs them. Dont like it at all cos we look completely disjointed atm whilst Spurs were handed confidence by that stupid high line from hasenhüttl

It’s Mourinho tho. They will just implode at some point for sure. No team will ever compete at the top with Mourinho at the helm ever again Just watched the highlights of the game. Son's movement was impressive, one has to admit. Bertrand with an absolute horror show tho. just stopped defending.

Let’s pray it stays like that. Pulisic combining with Werner is what I have wanted to see for months now. Also would get Mount off the left wing

Nah we will thrash them. The signs have been there. A lower quality opposition is what we need to get clicking. We have not had enough of the ball in recent games and in this one we will have plenty. Also Tammy, Barkley, CHO always bringt their A-game vs shit teams

It’s true. Werner makes tons of runs and all our midfielders pick the safe option. Ziyech can’t come in soon enough. And once we replace Kante we must make sure the new guy can play nice long passes from deep.

The commentator said he aggravated his injury so probably another month or two

Never would we have conceded with 11 men on the pitch. The one frustrating thing here is this inferiority complex we have, and AC and Kepa in particular, when it comes to playing Liverpool we always manage to lose in creative ways. Conceding stupid long rangers or set pieces. Now we looked defensively well organized and then shot our selves in the foot. Both ac and Kepa should have anticipated th trajectory of that ball way better. We other is the mount love in. He is useless. Maybe CHO is too. But if so at least try Giroud and play Werner on the wing ffs. Mount on the Wing has to stop

this just like having torres again but worse. 2 torres acutally with him and alonso. jsut 2 players who contribute fuck all and only pull the team down.

Thats called adapting your tactics to the occasion. Of course we are not gonna go all guns blazing at the 2nd best counter attacking team in the world. Lampard is tacitcally flexible. Maybe you can consider that a weakness but it can also be a strength. There have been tactical masterclasses and there have been blowouts as you would expect. i dont think we would lose this game with 11 men. I think we could have won it with Ziyech, Chilwell and Mendy. Pretty sure Lampard's approach is to get us compact in midfield and overpower teams with the individual quality we now have once all are fit. Not brilliant but will eventually win once everyone gets going. Its the terrible scheduling and the old ghosts of pastmanagers that are messing us up atm.

He really is not healthy for the team. Oscar at least would always score a nice goal here and there and could create something out of nothing. not often but he had his moments. Mount is the same workhorse but with 0 talent.

Should have signed 2 lbs. esp if the 50m one is injured

Would be surprised if he injured his shoulder today.

I understand why he is playing after last season but his performances have been terrible so far

He lost courage a it when he had chances to shoot. Fine otherwise

Our only good attacker atm. Shameful

The team is clearly not sharp yet. preseason was too short. we have only played vs teams with considerably more preparation time so far. I dont mind the tactics. there is not point trying to match liverpool toe to toe when they are a well oiled side and we are one that is just assembling. The only gripe i have with todays tactics is that alonso and kepa started. i dont think azpi out of position or caballero can do worse. we really should have gooten our business done ´quicker and sign 2 goalies and 2 left backs already just to keep them out of the starting lineup.

Has to be gone surely. Absolutely useless in these kind of games. Can’t even get simple passes right. Needed a leader in miefield today and only got Jorginho

Just as staggering he starts. Probably won’t again. Kepa/Alonso just shouldn’t even be in the squad. In any squad that is. As long they are we won’t compete at top level. We will only ever have success again if the shut players of past eras are all gone. Should not even expect anything of the team. Just check the starting lineup. If any of the dregs is in there just don’t watch the match it won’t happen

Bc he is shit

We will not be competitive at the top until we have the skin signings ready or Pulisic back. Without a creative players and Kepa/Alonso in the side we will always be shit

It was a reasonably even contest with both teams cancelling each other’s out.

Werner surely will be injured hereafter
