Fucking useless cunts ought to start putting a shift in then 

Hard to do that when the system only benefits one player. Giroud.

There appears to be a growing number calling for a 4-4-2 and I can't say I disagree with the idea ...

Or Lampard can coach his players to actually play through channels instead of pinging it wide every time...

Bruno Fernandes and Salah have played more through balls than our entire team.

 I would change the formation and would move this group of players back to a 4-4-2 with Kante and Mount in the middle (although I do think Kovacic at his best might be the right partner to Kante) and Pulisic and CHO keeping wide and then Havertz playing the 10 role to Werner at 9.

So essentially a 4231 with Havertz as a CF or CAM. 

I agree with you, but again, means nothing if Lampard wants to continue the pinging it out wide approach.

Since we are basically in the 'pray and hope' territory with Lampard, I hope that he and his coaching staff will take these two free midweeks to reassess things and try to change things up - the formation, how we attack, how we press etc. If he still intends to stick with 4-3-3, play players in the wrong role/position, keep persisting with what hasn't been working, then the inevitable will come very soon for him. And for the love of god, stop overtraining the players and tiring them out before the match even begins!

We will probably see the same old at Fulham...it will finish Frank off if he doesn't start getting us going.

It might be more like Lampard comparing to Ole. 

Lampard is nowhere near Klopp, but more like in the class of Ole. 

And right now Ole got his team on points with Liverpool.....But how Ole got to there is a whole different discussion. 

Well if you want to be really specific, Lampard is nothing like any of the other coaches in the PL right now

Ole at least had experience relegating a team, and Arteta was an assistant manager.

He has the least experience. Which is why I say his achievements last season were remarkable given the circumstances.

They were definitely his signings. It was reported as such after they joined and both even said they joined us because of Lampard, because of the football vision that he sold to them.

As I said Lampard should be like the director or something like that. He has done good with the signings.

Lampard should probably be a politician really. He tends to say the things you want to hear or always says the right things but then does the opposite with his actions.

Lampard SHOULD use the upcoming matches against Morcambe and Fulham to test new tactics and formations, instead of trying to fix his broken 433 formation and wing play tactic. It might be the only time he gets to do it as Chelsea manager.

Well, for a start. He seems to have given them a couple of days off following the City defeat.

Hope it wasnt to whip them into shape after they return
