We're 2-1 up against Southampton at HOME and he decides to go defensive which allowed Soton to pressure us. We then concede, but afterwards we score our third goal. Guess what Lamps does? He brings Reece James on because he is afraid of Southamptons pressure and attack. We sit deep as a result and concede yet again. To think a Chelsea manager would be afraid of Southampton is embarrassing and unacceptable. We don't play like we're the top dogs anymore. Can't believe I'm saying this but we're starting to look like Arsenal under Wenger. Don't mean to be pedantic but isn't that the opposite of Arsenal under Wenger? They never sat back on leads, not even against Barcelona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking fuming so what do you say to 3-0 and West Ham coming back. Not saying Lampard is a complete manager but there is no magic wand out there and the gulf has been closed by the lesser teams. If Lampard had lost 6-1 and bottled a 3-0 lead all guns would be out blazing. This is the same Spurs that probably have a better balanced side and a defensive minded, world class manager. Moral: support your team and hope the players turn up on the day. The grass is always greener on the other side. By the way, the clamour for Poch is laughable.

You say there is no magic wand but we failed to strengthen an area that was a gaping hole from last season but spent millions at the other end. Lampard and us bottled that yesterday, Spurs did the same..... Please don't preach to me about supporting the team, something I have done for 30 years, home and away and spent thousands doing so.

NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I am sick of people pointing out to individual mistakes. We know what many said about Alonso after WBA game and even Lamps seems done with him after that but that missplaced pass after header for WBA first goal was something that 3 or 4 players could cover easily later. No one did. And Kepa did not even play and we conceded 3. Next game he was dropped Emerson did mistake for Spurs goal. Zouma, Chris, Havertz, Silva, Kante, Kepa, Mount, Kova, Azpi, James all had mistakes that lead to conceding goals in just last 3 months. Our system does not work defensively. Pep won 100 points with Stones, Otamendi, Delph as starters because he knew how to cover their flaws. Napoli also did not suffer because of Jorginho in defense. Great managers know how to fix weak links, Frank is not one of them. Even if that mistake is 100% of Kepa for their 2nd goal he is not the reason why we lost points. Game did not finished 3:1 it was 3:3. People just need that perfect victim it is either Kepa or Alonso or someone else... At the moment those two should not even be backups but we have much bigger issues here. Azul and DANILA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 This goal was amazing. And what we should expect every game from these guys. Deadly counter attack. Kante, Jorginho, Werner, Pulisic, Werner, Havertz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,957 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 One thing that I completely forgot and is missing in the comments here - we could have easily lost the game. Remember? Saints still had a dangerous attack right after they scored in the final minute. We were in a total chaos. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vytis33 1,271 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I don't miss many games but wasn't able to watch anything past the first two Werner goals yesterday. Just watched full highlights now and holy shit that was abysmal. I knew it wasn't gonna be good but I'm actually shocked how bad that truly was.

He was instructing the team to stay back and defend against Soton in the second half. What we should've done is press and try to score more goals to kill the game off. Also, what he just said is very concercing. After reading that we all know that he has no control over the dressing room and players don't listen to his instructions lol.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 He is correct tho. We lost a lot of balls due to trying to play our way out of trouble when we clearly couldn’t deal with the press anymore. Not that this is the way to go for us but we shouldn’t over complicate things when the players are out of steam anyway.
