Azpi on the left back can work, for 2 games max. Not long term ffs, and Lampard HAS TO know this...

to attack a back 3 successfully, you need great wide play from your fullbacks and also a real target man at CF who can lay the ball off in the gaps that are exposed numerically in the nearer to goal MF

we have neither of those in this lineup

[Milan 17,835]

Abraham a solid 12th player for the opponent...

[Laylabelle 9,305]

Here comes the 3rd...

[Strike 6,977]

Can brute force our way back into this. Forget the idea of playing them. Lump it to Giroud, RLC in the second half. 

[DDA 9,570]

Compare Abraham to Greenwood and then remember that we have Tammy. 

Embarassing.

I dread our champions league game to! Know we're out but they won't care. Goals galore

Bayern may well shred us to bits with 5, 6, even 7 if we play like this

[Nasnet 63]

They must have underestimated Sheffield United 

[killer1257 3,282]

Please sub Barkley and Mount off. They will never offer you any creativity

Yeahhh that be nice. Wont happen though.

Long as we to into half time 2-0...

We just don't look like we can score 1 never mind 3 or 4..

As if watching our defending isn't bad enough, the attacking play is equally hopeless as well. It's just endless amount of passing and then the moves amount to nothing more putting hopeful crosses. No combination plays, no 1-2s, nothing. Not even trying anything different.

I refuse to believe that, if thats the case they all should get sacked along with FL.

We were lucky against Palace with that defence. We are not lucky this time.

This is why I was so pissed off even though we won. Because of THIS.

Did we really had good game after the break?

Tammy fucking Abraham. 

I dare somebody to tell me that bloke is good enough for this club.

 

Long term deal...200k per week.  Marina draft up the paperwork!

Everything is shite today. Either goes to nothing or they go backwards to Kepa.

All the possession and yet we are playing so shite and can't see it charging next half.

[Atomiswave 6,072]

The fucking warning signs been there all season yet we have seen no remedy at all...at all. And we are devoid of energy on top, how is that possible knowing top 4 is highly at stake? Amateurs the lot

[DDA 9,570]

Considering what's on the line, that is the worse half of football I have ever seen Chelsea football club play.

[Special Juan 27,105]

Fucking pathetic that, total and utter shite.

Players hiding, players doing stuff they did in the playground.

Tammy Abraham off, Giroud on Barkley off and Kovacic on

if so Lampard needs to be sacked after the game

not joking

Sheffield is the most predictable team in the EPL

they play the same every game

they outwork teams and smother you on both the press, and the back 3 CB's, who also overlap like crazy

a 2nd division manager could see this after watching 30 minutes of tape

the way to beat them is on a counter after you force them to play a lot with ball in MF and a bit closer in

it disrupts their patterns and that back 3 CB group can be exposed to a longer vertical passing
