Exactly, its the same issues and mistakes over and over again.

I‘m a Kanté lover but gotta admit he was horrendous today. His role really needs to be defined because it isn‘t working what Lampard is trying with him.

I don't like when I see Kante playing in attack,he doesn't make right decisions and gives the ball away.He Should stay in DM position.Attacks must be starting from creative midfielders,Mount is useless,he wastes time and doesn't create chances.

Kante played his role quite well. He is playing as box to box mid not as creative mid. What do people want from him. 

To create as well

Box to box is a runner, his job is not create. Any creation that you get is a bonus.

Whose job is to create in our team. Mount, lw, RW and striker. All of them are youngster except Willian but Willian is playing as RW. If you want him to create more, play him on the left.

In Lamps System, it usually will only work against the big Teams.

Poor team, poor tactics and poor game mangement, imo. We are setting a bad standard for ourselves man, there is inconsistency and then there is us.

Ok what would you have done differently.

It's fine to criticise, but what would you have done?

 

I would have left Mount on. I wouldn't have put CHO on.

Get Sancho in asap

Who would he replace? Pulisic? Willian? mount? Honestly, as good of a young player mount is, he plays the position which an upgrade would be most impactful. Sancho doesn’t fit our most important needs, at the moment. Unfortunately, Frank seems to fancy Mount too much for the sensible upgrade. We shall see.

Buying players does not guarantee success.

Did you witness City?

Have you seen United?

Just be realistic - it's a slow building process and could take 5 years + 

Imagine if Sarri didnt have Hazard last season. He would have won nothing. We would have been as poor as we are this season. That's what a World Class player can do... he can win you games. Now if you have 6 or 7 of then in the same squad which we havent for years then you start to see proper football... a completely different dynamic of play. We are soo use to watching average players playing out fo their skin accompanied with Eden to win matches, we have forgotten what it's like to have a squad full of class players. Trust me... we buy 6 or 7 Worldies and we will not be drawing or losing to these shit teams.

But Lampard doesn't have Hazard at his disposal. So I am saying it... why are you bringing up hypotheticals? An absolute irrelevance. 

 

It was to point out that Sarri benefitted from Hazard significantly, thus proving that Lampard is handling a tougher situation and probably doing a much better job with the squad that he has.

the second half was pathetic. too much confusion, we play their game

[Nikarlc 5]

getting Ziyech in this jan would fix most of our  problems,he's the player we need,super creative.

What did you lot expect Lampard to do? With who we have currently? 

For one he wanted to protect the lead with our defence, totally wrong decision amongst others Frank.

Its a mix of it all, FL makes some weird decisions man, the board have filled this team with shit players through ther years and we are paying for it. No cutting edge or anything. And I feel its a coaching issue as well.

Almost zero creativity from out midfield yet many fans still think Jorginho, Kova and Kante is a great trio. All they give us is lots of posession which we do nothing with time and time again.They do not compliment each other at all and are costing us bigtime! Kante has gone from one of the very best, most important players in the league to a bang average bits and pieces player who's not great at anything anymore. Need to rip up that midfield!

It's the same players? So what do you expect? You do know the definition of insanity 🤣🤣🤣

See my entire response. It's just people wanting to find fault when the true issues lie elsewhere.

Hope an attacking reinforcement with consistency is brought in before our next league game (10 days).

The problem is the lack of alternatives we have. Beyond about 14-15 players our squad is not great and there are a couple of areas in our strongest XI which are weaknesses to boot too. When Tammy has had a few games struggling, there isn't a good enough alternative off the bench or to start in front of him. When Mount has struggled, the obvious alternative to his position is RLC who's injured. Hudson Odoi is the 3rd choice winger and is struggling. Our options at present just aren't good enough.

We're pretty lucky to be honest that some of these young players stepped up earlier in the season to put us in the position that we're in because I wouldn't envisage Giroud or Bats having scored the goals that Tammy has, or Tomori stepping in when the alternative was a Christensen and Zouma partnership which looked atrocious in the first games.

By the way, I'm not knocking Tammy.. he has been a revelation up top and he is only going to get better.

The mentality of the players is poor. It is the job of the manager to manage and motivate them. When you have Zouma reportedly coming out saying the players find it hard to get motivated, that highlights the problem. The substitutions were poor today. Pulisic was by far our most lively player, and we lost all drive in midfield after Mount went off. Kovacic, Kante and Jorgi clearly cannot operate in a three against a four-man midfield. Tammy had a shocker yet he played the full 90 minutes. We praise Lampard - and rightly so - when he makes ballsy decisions (i.e. Emerson vs Arsenal), so he equally deserves criticism for poor substitutions. 

The fact the players keep making the same mistakes emphasises the fragile confidence of the team. We haven't won back-to-back games in three months. There is something seriously wrong (people need to stop using the transfer ban and "the youth" as an excuse) and the manager must bear some responsibility.

So what should he have done? Mount was losing the ball just as much as anyone? Adding Kovacic was the right move in my opinion because not one player bar maybe Kepa and James can hold their head up high today. Dreadful from everyone.

It's the same squad, minus Hazard. 

People need to stop making out like Lampard is managing the same players he had at his disposal at Derby. We are the Europa League winners and, minus one player regardless of how good he is), it's the same squad, arguably better when you consider the young players who have come in and forced mediocrity out of the starting eleven.

Check my posting history, I liked/understood what Sarri was trying to do.

You're twisting my words now, this isn't about comparisons, bringing CR7 up is to emphasize the point that even the very best young players blow hot and cold and won't build the consistency for a while.

Some United fans genuinely wanted Fergie to go because of his persistence with him.

All of my family are United and they loved Ronaldo from the start. He showed serious stuff from the start. Mount has been ok ... but that's it ... just ok. I'm not impressed that a player can press for 90 minutes. I think all players should be able to press. Anyways I'm going off track now... the squad is weak ... very, very weak... it needs upgrading big time and if not then we just have to accept we are no longer challenging for the too prizes.
