Agree Manpe - it is a steep learning curve for all. Apparently they all go for a run together and discuss tactics that way ! But a wiser head in the background wouldn't be amiss.

Chelsea bosses understand club’s new place in shifting landscape, says coach Frank Lampard

https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/chelsea-frank-lampard-bosses-understand-new-position-champions-league-defeat-bayern-munich-a9366281.html

Frank Lampard has said his Chelsea bosses fully understand the Blues’ place in a shifting Premier League pecking order.

The Chelsea manager believes the top-flight landscape has changed, with Manchester City and Liverpool muscling into the centre of that picture, and has said owner Roman Abramovich and director Marina Granovskaia share his views on the club’s route back to the top.

“I think the landscape of the Premier League has changed,” said Lampard.

“Manchester City and Liverpool have set incredible standards in the league, and also we had some outside influences with the [transfer] ban and with circumstance – a huge player [Eden Hazard] left the club. Those things are there.

“We are certainly on the same page here when I speak with the board and we have all our conversations - there is no doubt we know we are fighting for fourth place.”

Ohh they know the landscape now do they? Do they also recognise we are here cuz of them having not much know-how? Shambolic is what they are.

Fuck off from football fraud.

I think the major issue is defense. 

Because attack minded he has the right philosophy. 

Mind you that City and Liverpool improve massively with top defenders. 

I know Lampard ain't in that bracket of manager, but I'm sure our win rates will improve massively with a top defense. Defense should be our priority this summer.

We've had 39 goals against so far. The next team to have worse is Everton in 11th. Needs a huge improvement definitely.

Lampard's defensive tactics has been shocking, but to be fair those defensive players are just full of shite. Bin them. I want the current defense binned this summer.

last year the defensive phase was better. 39 goal concedeed, but lost 4-0 with bournemouth and 6-0 with city

This is Lampard's defensive record as a manager:

97 games

21 clean sheets

127 goals conceded

He might not have had any world class defenders but you can only blame individuals for so long. Like you said, we weren't great defensively last season but this season, it's a whole new level of shocking! And our defence lost only Luiz last summer but saw James and Tomori added into the team. Not much difference in the choices but the collective defending has been shambolic a lot of the times!

Last season our defense has also been shocking. 
It's just that this season took the word 'shocking' to a whole new level.

Most likely because we can't kill matches no more. Giroud had two 100% Chances and Alonso could have scored one more (he still is our best finisher right now haha) and we let our opponents stay in the game.

We have way too many shitty players. Rüdiger, AC, Pedro,Willian and Barkley don't belong to a Top 4 Club. And sadly most of them are starters

Everytime they get a corner you think shit...and most the time one in the game has led to a goal.

Ffs Arsenal scored from our corner. It's stupid mistakes over and over. We shouldnt be so bad

Our possession play may had something to do with it. That and a recongised back line
