I havent seen anything interesting in any of our friendlys this pre-season. The only thing i see is pure struggling. I just have a really bad feeling about this season. Im afraid we even wont make top 6th. Last time i saw pure struggling in our per-season was the season where we sacked José for the second time.. I dont think you can honestly say 'pure struggling' after watching the match from last Saturday. I'll admit I didnt see Fridays match, but if you're saying that you only saw 'pure struggling' in 3 friendlies, I'm sorry but that just sounds like BS.

I was disappointed to read some of the headline statements attributed to Frank about chances for some players but he has the right to judge things as he sees them. We'll just have to hope that he's right. Whilst on the face of it some players getting chances this pre season would appear "unusable" for most of us fans, it makes complete sense for Lampard and his staff to make their own assessments on every player. He'll have his own ideas of what he wants to do this season and a player we may not expect may suit his requirements. I'm sure most people would have felt the same when they saw Moses back in Conte's first pre season and he then became a vital cog for a couple of years. Having said that I must admit I haven't seen anything from the likes of Drinkwater and Bakayoko that makes me think there might be a new example of Moses!

Exactly, although those two are not the names which have surprised me most. In my case I was particularly surprised to read of Frank 'opening the door' for Kennedy. A player who has never impressed me from the moment I first saw his YouTube videos. That said, your Victor Moses analogy is a good one. For Victor then, perhaps we can read Kennedy now. We'll see.

Damião not long ago was starting for Brazil and rightfully so. However, echoing what has been said, it is disappointing to see DD and esp bakayoko, doubly esp together in our midfield. perhaps we think a buyer will show up if we play them, but why?! Donkeywater and Donkeyako should never see the pitch again in a Chels kit they are both rubbish (especially Bakayoko, DD I would not lose my mind over playing in pre-season to shop him around, and, dog forbid, we may need him due to injuries) We were loaded at MF but less so now due to Kante still (or again, even though it is the same injury) and RLC knocked up, grrrrr, plus Ampadu going out (rightly so) on loan to RB Leipzig, which is a SUPERB loan destination for him.) Gilmour is not ready yet for the 1st team, hopefully next year and surely the year after that. robsblubot, Mana and Antonio8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he will start the official season with some wins, to gain trust from the players and the fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
