continuity, great manager, unique tactical system, drive and desire, zero egos, grown men 

I rate John Egan btw, very underrated CB

they turned down £30m for him from Everton

Jack O'Connell is also more than decent, very tenacious

this may be controversial, but I think we would be more solid overall if we straight swapped (it will never happen) Zouma and AC for Egan (AC) and Lewis Dunk (Zouma)

downside (longer term) is ages

they basically are 3 years older than ours

Egan is 27, Dunk is 28

AC is soon 24, Zouma is 25

I think we would be a stronger side doing it though

I am sure some will call me mad as ass

I still cant believe Chelsea fans genuinely preferred Lampard over Sarri as our manager.

Reece James: What I really think about Frank Lampard at Chelsea FC

Reece James opens up on playing under Frank Lampard at Chelsea FC this season

https://www.thesportreview.com/2020/02/chelsea-fc-news-reece-james-lampard-2/

Reece James has described Frank Lampard as a “legend” and has underlined his desire to repay the faith shown in him by the Chelsea FC boss.

James has found himself as a regular fixture in the Blues team this season and he has been earning plenty of praise for the strong performances he has shown in recent weeks.

The 20-year-old has made more than 10 appearances in the top flight for the Blues and he has been catching the eye with his pace and accurate crossing ability.

James will now be hoping to hold down a regular spot in the Chelsea FC team between now and the end of the season as the west London side look to try and qualify for the Champions League.

Now, James has opened up about how he feels to be playing under a club legend in the form of Lampard, after the ex-midfielder’s appointment at Stamford Bridge last July.

I have not seen it on here

I still back him 100%

I hate the fucking board

and I want the club sold

the board are Roman's puppets and they are driving us into a ditch

if they do not pull off a fucking massive summer window

then you KNOW the fix is in

and there will not be any sort of true get back to top 5 to 10 club in the world efforts made anymore

the only outlier in terms of massive cash from a positional aspect was Kepa

still trying to puzzle that one out, but it certainly appears to be the exception that proves the rule

and now even that looks like it may blow up massively in our faces

March 31, 2020 the new stadium permits expire as well

so in 57 days are we are well fucked there on a semi-perm basis as well

Whether Lampard succeeds in the long term remains to be seen but that doesn't mean Sarri was the right manager for us. Had he still been in charge, some of the younger player might have left, we would seeing the likes of Pedro, Willian starting every week, the same Barkley-Kovacic sub every game etc. Sarri was lucky that he had Hazard to bail him out of bad situations last season. Imagine he had to manage the squad without him and not being able to buy players!

Absolutely. I shudder to think of this season under Sarri. 

Azpi, Willian, Pedro, Alonso plodding in the 4-3-3 with Giroud/Bats up-front!

I also have doubts concerning Lamps but Sarri was never the answer.

With regards to Atletico‘s situation, i can imagine us going for Simeone in case Lamps doesn‘t have the backing in the summer.

So we are basically playing this season without 5 best goalscorers from last season. No surprise we struggle to score. RLC injured, Eden and Alvaro left for Madrid. And Pedro and Giroud not used by Lampard. We lost Higuain as well. 

Pedro and Giroud have been one of the best players in Super Cup game against Liverpool. Frank dropped them after that. That was a mistake. They lost sharpness and it's probably too late for them. They are leaving for free in the summer just like Willian so I'm concerned about their motivation. But we can't really relaid only on young guys till the end of the season so I hope Giroud, Pedro and Willian can still be helpful. We need them.

Tomori IMO hasn't improved under Lampard this season. He is just as good as last season. Kovacic was badly used by Sarri last season.
And has Abraham really improved? He hasn't scored for a long time now, and I know this is his first season with us and the PL, but at the moment I think he was better last season.
Last season was trash, but this season is looking like trash as well. We have LESS points now then we did last season. We have been stuck in relegation form for months.

I think Lamps and Sarri have used Kova exactly the same.

Of course we will look more trash when Hazard, who in his prime was at least Top 5 player in the world, left us and our second best player last season in RLC got injured.
In the last couple of seasons, we were Hazard FC, not Chelsea FC.
I remember Spurs were horrible after Bale left initially. It took them a while to get better.

Tammy regressed his scoring form when Mount completely lost all his form.
Tammy needs to improve his heading game and if he improves that, he will score way more goals. It takes time to build that and that can be learned. Tammy all in all made some great steps. I remember a time where some German Chelsea Fans said that Rashford was garbage and I always said that Rashford has everything to become World class and he needs to work on some minor Details. Now, he is Uniteds only world class player and they are nothing without him.

Yes, Lamps makes mistakes but World class Coaches like Conte made mistakes at Chelsea too.
It takes time to build the old Chelsea back again before Hazard era.

Hazard for me is the best Chelsea Player of all time. Some say it was Lamps, but Lamps played with the best of the best. Hazard did not. Hazard played with guys like Willian and Oscar...
Hazard carried us, won us titles more or less alone. When nobody knew what to do anymore, they gave Hazard the ball to do his magic.
He was to us what Messi is for Barcelona.

And who was his manager last season?

We I think are about 7 points down on this time last season with harder fixtures (last season we had all the top 6 at home first half bar one, this season vice versa) and about 2 points down on the same set of fixtures last season.

Add to that the loss of a bonafide match winner, our best defender out for half the season, our second best attacking player last season being out all season so far alongside our best midfielder drifting in and out of injury till about November, while there's very much room for improvement it's hardly the doomsday disaster you and others are making it out to be all things considered.

Yes, his all-round play at times while will never be Firmino is a lot better than it was (or atleast how I remember it) at youth level and out on loan.

Also despite a bit of a rut lately he's on course for atleast 20 goals in all comps, (and that is PL, CL and possibly latter stages of FA Cup, not stat padding in the Europa or early rounds of the cups Vs Championship opponent's) that's impressive for his first season in the Chelsea first team no matter what spin you put on it.

Sorry mate but sarii was trash, his footy was brutal I mean brutal to watch. Supremely stubborn. And he had Eden, you remove that and who knows where we would have end up.

Most of us back FL, but 7months in its clear he is a rookie, Our defence still cant defend the basics, we are hella horrible dealing with set-pieces etc. When I watch us sometimes I go what the fuck is the system? Why is our positioning so bad so often? Is it him? The players? But I feel for him man, he is fuming.....he aint liking the attitude of the board and as the proper Chels that he is, he aint happy about it. He is a Winner, our board is anything but.

[DDA 10,220]

You guys are missing my point. I wasnt saying Sarri was the answer or us but he is certainly a safer bet than Lampard. He is more experienced and yes his football was abit boring to watch at times last season but we all know deep down the players at Sarris disposal were just not up to playing his style of football. He played the elder players for their experienced and why?? Welll isnt this season proof of why managers care to play the senior players over the youngsters at Chelsea.. Sarri would never had the same time and patience Lampard will be shown. He had to get results straight of the bat. Frank has a free season to integrate the youngsters. That should not go unnoticed and neither should the fact that we are worse off points wise than what we were under Sarri last season.

7 points down on this stage last season and 2/3 on the same fixtures. Given the loss of Hazard, a filled out Loftus Cheek and the injury problems of Kante, Rudiger and Callum that really isn't a disaster.
