Tomo 21,751 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 13 hours ago, Mana said: Because Lampard doesn't know how to coach at the back. Nor his coaching staff. The hard evidence is there. Mourinho doesn't have Rui Faria now unlike before and Faria made a huge difference with Mourinho. That's one thing is looking true unfortunately and i even said as much in pre season. If it's something that can't be somewhat fixed with top quality defenders and top keeper then he should seriously consider bringing in a defensive coach (not JT, a proper specialist).

Thankfully though it looks like they are starting to peak out and hit a more standard top team level so they've probably had their chance with that one. Allison conceded 12 goals in 20 games. In full season no chance he would concede less then 20+ goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played relatively well, weren't blown away but just didn't have enough firepower to trouble them. Agree with the others and don't forget that silly basketball game at Valencia!

ZaynChelsea 423 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Throwing Gilmour into the match was a genius move. There is a lot to criticize concerning Frank but who would have thrown an 18 years old kid into such a match. Lamps really got an eye for that. Well done Johnnyeye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it will take at least 2 seasons to have some clue what can be done with this team. People calling for franks head should understand it will take patience and maybe we will have a killer side with plenty of youth.

killer1257 3,282 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 If we had a full fit squad, would we see Gilmour yesterday? That’s the issue here. Gilmour should have been used ages ago.Yes because he always plays the FA cup matches. Also, Billy was promoted as a first team player, so more game time was expected.In a game like that, guys like Mou and Conte would have never used Billy as a starterGesendet von meinem SM-G920F mit Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killer1257 3,282 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Wasn’t in the squad against Nottingham Forest. Came on in the 68th minute to replace CHO against Hull. .v Liverpool was his first game as a starter, and I still think he wouldn’t had started if we had a full fit squad like in previous occasions.He played against United though Gesendet von meinem SM-G920F mit Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our injury situation overall isn't great but we are only missing 2 players in midfield and since we have coped decently without Loftus-Cheek all season, it's pretty much only Kante that we are missing and he's a different player to Gilmour. killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Dont know where else best to put this. With Tammy going off the boil a bit and Giroud starting to pick up form when we get Callum and Pulisic back should we be playing both of them off Oli in the run in? While Frank shouldn't have froze out Giroud like he did it could inadvertently benefit us now as he will be pretty fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are different players like you said, but what I’ve seen on how Lampard treats Kante, he’ll probably shoehorn him yesterday. Why does it have to be Gilmour? Had Kante been fit, he could have played instead of Kovacic or maybe even Barkley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Just now, Mana said: Because Gilmour barely and rarely makes the squad, let alone the starting XI. That's because he only got promoted to the first team last month and considering he's only 18, Lampard is arguably trying to ease him rather than throw him straight into the deep end, especially when we have been under pressure to pick up results lately. Whatever the circumstances, at least Gilmour took his chance yesterday and performed. There will be more challenges ahead but he's given himself a platform to build on.

Atomiswave 6,117 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I sat there in 87min and I got a big smile on my face, it hit me good, it was like watching old school Chelsea, you know the days when we gave the ball to opposition and just said you go ahead and control possession, cuz we are winning anyhow, knock yourself silly, cuz as soon as we get it back we will hurt you.....I fucking loved that. Full credit to FL and the boys, lovely stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
