NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I cannot believe that we are not sure what to do with Callum. We have just 3 wingers and he is the only one available from the start of the season. In this situation without Pulisic and Ziyech we cannot start a game without players out of position.

In this situation without Pulisic and Ziyech we cannot start a game without players out of position.He gave a blanket reply to all the potential outgoings saying everything will be looked at on a player by player basis. So he didn't really say anything. I highly doubt he'll go because of our winger situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 To follow up on the question if he will keep chopping and changing the back 4 Lampard gave a slightly different answer this time. He said that having an established back4 and cb pairing is only possible when his project is completed and currently he is not seeing this as an option. Might indicate he does not think any of our back centre back piarings are good enough for him atm. Also said he knows where he wants to play Kai and Timo but only has played them out of position bc of injuries, which is what i suspected from the very beginning.

Which I think we knew but I know he has been getting stick for doing it.Having said that I think what we lose wide we gain having him up front so I'd like to see him there. CHO on the left and then mount can do a job on the right for 1 more game before Pully is ready. Having chillwell should hopefully help with our lack of width issue on the left.

From what i have seen Mount is not realy suited to any position in the 3 behind the striker tho IMO. Not sure he can play in the 2 behind given his mediocre passing but if both our back-up winger options are not really reliable we should maybe go for a last minute deal here. Beginning to regret not even having tried for Ferran Torres. Well, Palace is a game we should win anyway but i really hope Pulisic can at least get some minutes Supermonkey92 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giroud instead of Tammy all day for me, he can do pretty much everything Tammy does n more imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supermonkey92 1,428 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Interesting comments by Frank on the back 4. He must know pulisic, ziyech, werner and havertz all start in the top 4 positions. Its a no brainer. When he can play the first 11, I'll judge him then. However, these results haven't been irrelevant. He should still be judged on the decisions he makes and its been a mixed bag at best. Hopefully this changes Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk bohops 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,442 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Sadie Mane the latest player to get Covid. Infections are on the rise again, and we are playing pointless international friendliness. If we lost 2 or more players to Covid, we would be f*cked. Also, wtf are we playing CL matches in other countries? Is there any point in playing there in front of empty stadiums? FIFA and UEFA are absolute morons. bigbluewillie and Johnnyeye 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
