Hutcho 8,443 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 We are unbeaten in 15 last loss was to the dippersJust gotta keep the run going. Keep being hard to beat and we'll go far even if we get the occasional united/spurs game in there. And happy birthday Muzchap and Vesper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! Hutcho 8,443 Posted December 2, 2020 Popular Post! Share Posted December 2, 2020 For me this team just feels like a squad which has bought in and is going for it. Like tammy came down and was super happy for oli even though it will definitely hurt his minutes in the short term. A together team is even harder to beat. Leeds will be a tough game but I don't see any reason we can't get at them defensively.

Popular Post! The Skipper 20,609 Posted December 2, 2020 Popular Post! Share Posted December 2, 2020 It's coming together for Frank, Jody and the rest at the moment. The idea is there now. We're looking great tactically. Far better than where we were a couple weeks ago. Players playing in the right position, dropped the 4-2-3-1 as the main tactic and voila - we look really strong - I'm delighted Frank is learning from his mistakes (this was my biggest worry). The blueprint of the team is clear, players are enjoying themselves. We're creating at will and defending excellently. This month is going to be a crucial one - this month decides whether we challenge for trophies seriously this season, and so far so good. What can I say about Olivier Giroud. Best supersub in the world at the moment, an outstanding leader in the team, a great example for the young guys coming into the team now. His mentality, his professionalism and his ability... What a player, what a game from him. I seriously hope we can win at least one last trophy with this guy at the club. Glad to see Havertz is getting back to his match fitness, thought he also had a very good game today. Callum had a pretty strong showing on the right hand side as well, probably would've had a few goals if Pulisic played him in a couple times. Really exciting times. Hope we can finish December strong, because then we can say for the first time in a long time that we're actually hunting for trophies again. Lampard could achieve something special this season if he brings it all together and makes the right choices in difficult moments. The template and base of this squad is looking excellent, and now - it's up to him, Jody and the rest of the coaching staff, and the players.

Atomiswave 6,117 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Bloody good performance that was, they have never lost 4-0 at home if im not mistaken. Yeah the team has bought in to it all, there is hunger and passion, togetherness, besides talent those are very vital.

The most exciting thing is we're combining it with the bigger picture, finally. Last thee titles we basically did a deal with the devil and had horrendous defenses of the trophy because we put everything into winning it at all costs (especially in 2015), if/when we win it again (my personal prediction is next year) i feel we could much better sustain our position this time.

I'm thinking Soonsup-Bell maybe. We can, if we want to - https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2020/10/07/chelsea-s-champions-league-squad-named Quote In addition there is List B, made up of players aged 21 or younger with two years’ training at the club. This list can be updated at any time up to midnight before a Champions League match. But Lampard has constantly mentioned about the difficulty of bringing the academy players to train with the first team because of the COVID-19 protocols. So, not sure how viable is that option for this just one game. Henry Lawrence trained with the first team apparently pre-Sevilla though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
