Thats not really true, we even had Giroud firing as our 2nd choice striker. CHO was getting better and better. Kante was def not this bad.

Exactly my point, Frank has made the players regress massively. Give me 3 players who have improved under him?

Frank has no excuse for our poor defending 7 months in, we had around 18 clean sheets last season with the same defense, also if you are going to play cross and inshallah why not play Giroud?? His squad management has been poor at best. Yes no signings but some of the problems we are facing are coaching problems. He wont last till December if he keeps this up.

Agree, the elephant in the room is obviously Roman's incompetency but most people dont want to listen to it. Had he laid the perfect platform like what Sheikh Mansour did at City we would have dominated this decade this decade imo. Our marketing revenue is not good, we dont have a new stadium, results on and off the pitch have been disappointing for a few years now. For a billionaire with great business acumen he has failed to run the club well. Should have appointed competent people. We spend money aimlessly and have no long term strategy.

There are 2 trains of thoughts imo, either the board and Roman are not convinced with Frank thus dont want to give him funds because they would rather give them to his replacement or as others have pointed out we are going after our key targets only instead of settling. Either way we will find out by September which train of thought it is.

Damn Chelsea are a PR machine now, after the negativity of the last few weeks to appease fans they throw in a pic of Ruben in training lol

I will say it again get rid of Lampard and bring in Porch, Lampard isn't good enough so why waste more time

Lmao that was so obvious

Azpi is shit man

Games like today and the ones that show you why Lampard is not an elite manager, why wait almost 70 min to make your first sub??

Add to that we always seem to lose at St James Park. Will make for an interesting weekend

Damn I thought they gave him a 4 year. Thats crazy considering his age. Luiz and others who signed prior to turning 30 got 4 year contracts.

Im pretty sure he has a 4 year contract, unless he renewed recently he should be a free agent in summer 2021

Next year is his final year, he signed a 4 year contract

Exactly, the role Cesc played could easily have been played by KdB and who knows we might have won that league titile that Man City won if we had actually kept KdB that season. In the 2nd half of the season we were struggling for creativity which ultimately cost us the league against the likes of Crystal Palace, West Ham.

Before we sold him in January. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/10341933/Juan-Mata-move-and-half-time-tweaks-revive-Jose-Mourinhos-Chelsea-mojo.html Around this time, we were struggling a bit and Mou froze out KDB and Mata, and after Van Ginkel injury https://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/sep/25/chelsea-david-luiz-juan-mata Mourinho started playing Luiz in midfield until we got Matic in January. And even then he continued to play Matic and Luiz in mid.

Thats what I mean, KDB could have been tried as the CM, he played better in the middle. If Mou had been tactically flexible and actually incorporated him more into the team. There was a time when we had an injury crisis in midfield and Mou refused to play KdB in midfield. I think he played a defender in the game in mid if I am not mistaken.

Its funny and ironic though because Lampard was the benefit of Mourinho's anti youth stance. had Lampard been benched then we would have played KDB in midfield.

He looks like one of the ball brothers. Lonzo or LiAngelo

I agree with you, his also our most clinical player, and that Emerson chance against Bournemouth would have been buried if it was him, at this point in time I would rather have Alonso at the back than Azpi playing LB, it totally kills us when we have a right footed full back.

We should have been in on the Cavani sweep stakes, he is old enough not to mess with Tammy's development but good enough to start and push him to be a better player. Also knows how to play with another striker.

Heard he had a sublime performance yesterday, thats more off the Willian we want to see, thats whats infuriating about him he has the talent but we only see it during the transfer window. He has the same talent as Eden and could have the same impact for us if he improves his decision making.

Great by Frank and the boys yesterday, I wasn't able to watch the game but Im glad we got one over Spurs.

I also mentioned it earlier, RLC has a more developed game that isnt just reliant on his physical skills. He will look sharper than CHO imo who when he got injured had not developed his game yet. He was/is reliant on his pace and it shows right now his struggling because he cant beat people as he once did before his injury. RLC on the other hand has vision and passing to go along his dribbling and physic. He will not hit form this season but he will be 100% better than what we have at the moment.

Personally not a fan of him, hope Roman doesn't go sentimental with him and gives him his marching orders before it's too late.
