closed Spurs 1-1 Chelsea

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Also whilst Chilwell was rusty AF, he was defensively solid. better than alonso for sure, albeit just as invisible in attack. Emerson more or less cost us the game (a case can be made for zouma ducking under the ball). This is why i demanded 2 new LBs not just one and people call me greedy.

Frank seems to think Mount is like him and can play 100 and something consecutive games in a row... give the poor boy a break one in a while

[communicate 2,703]

Not sure what to say. We played 5 games so far, not sure I can say we played well in any of it (I watched all except Barnsley). 

2 games in a row against poor opposition, we actually did not look good. It is a concern.

I think we all agree with you 🤣🤣🤣

Our defence is the biggest fucking joke ever.

Collectively poor in the second half except for Kante who was fresh. Tough luck for Mount. Penalty is a lottery.

Anyway, not bothered about Carabao Cup this year when the season is so packed. At least helps free up fixture congestion in December.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Not judging Mount himself, but putting this much pressure in terms of responsibility and game time is clearly a Frank's choice, and imho not a good one.

Pens are on the players. They all get asked who wants one who's feeling up for one.

Not on the manager at all. Pens are pens we will win some we will lose some.

People trying to Mystig Meg a pen shootout are reaching hard

More like our defensive setup, not just the players. We never made this many stupid mistakes under Sarri.

It could happen. It's unfair we still have the dross from last year- but it could happen who knows with Chelsea. 

I can't think of a decent manager out of work at the min though - so it's unlikely 

Poch, of course.

I expected Frank to be a great motivator and not greatest tactician (understandable), whereas we are still failing on basic stuff for more than a year now and players don't seem very motivated, what is becoming increasingly worrying. Team needs to step up and so does frank, immediately.

That was my main worry about him, his lack of aggression going forward compared to the likes of Robertson, pre injury Mendy and even Tierney really stands out.

[Hutcho 8,443]

If they didn't score then, they will score eventually. It was coming either way. 

They didn't do it for the other 83 mins or the whole of the second half if you just wanna look at when they were having a go. And we had a number of chances when they were having a go. So it wasn't really coming either way

We used to be so solid in defence... good times..

[Vesper 30,186]

I am sure I will called a troll, a plastic, a spoilt bish

but I am NOT at all happy with Lampard

bottom line he is getting it wrong far too often

these players we have are so far better than the teams we are losing to have

and lost to last season as well

does anyone think that Zouma, for instance, if he was sold to Carlo at Everton, would not be coached to a higher level?

(I am not having a go at Zouma btw)

plenty of others too

not used in a correct fashion at all

[Milan 17,958]

It is every single game, though, that a certain player (whoever that is) makes a mistake, a costly mistake. Why does this keep happening? Lampard just has another excuse for an individual error but we are seeing this week in week out. No doubt there will be another one in a few days time.

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

Not too bothered with the result, couldn’t take chances then you’ll get punished. But apparently Mount’s miss gave someone an orgasm.

Retain Malang Sarr and send Emerson and Alonso out? Or make Azpi backup LB. Just thinking of solutions in-house. Too much of a leap for Maatsen to take up that role.

I have been on the TWO new LB's train for ages

look at my zillion posts on it, lolol

I don´t believe young players like Havertz, Werner, CHO and James will develop properly under Lampard..

Well the difference was (and this probably isn't popular) that we had Luiz who actually was very good at attacking the ball in the air. However, everyone likes calling him a clown so it cannot be anything to do with that at all.

Tomori is very small for a CB, so is never going to be great in the air
