Are we going to see a Bat's show ?

Need to bang in a hattrick for Lampard to notice he's available.

You call half an hour "seven minutes"?

We scored after 7 mins. 
Soon after there was that glancing header (from Kante ?) that landed into Smeichel's arms.
Then nothing.

In some unrelated/related news, Rudiger and Batshuayi start for the Dev squad tonight...

 

Lamptey and Mola !! sound like ringers to me

We battered Leicester for the first 25 ish minutes and while we lost total control after that we were still quite comfortable until half time.

Hope for him, because goal is the only thing he can bring to a team, it should be a minimum against young players. Hope for us to because even if i'm certain he can't play alone on the front of our attack, if nothing else works, playing aside Giroud could transform him in a very prolific striker.

7 becomes 25 when you travel at the speed of light.

Got a brace and should have scored more, so hopefully Lampard noticed his contribution from the stands.

He missed 4 big chances and if Tammy had missed those chances, you would have been the first one to slaughter him.

 You can only score against the opposition you're actually fielded against, so....

He has more goals than our two CF's combined after three games. Him SCORING is better than what we have sat through this far.   

 

Why exactly would I "slaughter" someone for making a mistake or three after they've scored?

 

Try harder next time [emoji1360]

Sure, that was not meant as criticism. It is just become a habit for him. Remember when he scored two goals against Newcastle, got loaned out the next day, started teh weekend vs Köln and scored 2 again. He is a brilliant poacher, make no mistake. I rate him more than Giroud and Tammy. But also he will never be a complete all round striker, who I would trust to lead the line for a top club. But he was hugely successful in Dortmund and we play very very similar to Dortmund under Lamps, committing people forward, a lot of running off the ball and low crosses fizzed across the goalkeeper.

That's exactly where I'm at. If Costa was still at the club, I wouldn't even be bringing his name up.
