Not as bad as TC will make this performance seem like but there are massive issues to address. Havertz was the big call tonight and Frank got it wrong.

His pressing was poor and led to Wolves pressure coming down his side. His performance also affected James and Werner. 

In-game, there has to be a better way to deal with being 1-0 up against a counter attacking side like Wolves? This was West Ham 2019-20 all over again. Not saying park the bus but the defenders were sitting ducks even before the equaliser went in. 

Yep, it's rarely as good as people make out when we win and rarely as bad as the same people make out when we lose.

Problem was that Werner was playing left winger in the second half. Horrible decision by Lampard because Pulisic is our only good offensive player

But that doesn't explain why we only attacked down the left flank. It's becoming a common thing that we only ever attack down one flank in a game.

Oh please.

This was nothing short of a disgrace.

Frank is getting it massively wrong.

Have you ever seen such predictable football in your life? cross, cross, cross, pass back go the center backs..cross, cross, cross..Comon... we are playing like a team from the Championship. We have no midfield. They all goal hang with the forwards. Dreadful... just dreadful.

Want to know something scary? IF Arsenal win their next 2 games, they will be only 3 points behind us before we kick off against West Ham.

No way this happens. They will struggle to even get a win in the next two games. But I get your point.

Nah this has fuck all to do with an over reaction, this was as shit and as plain as the nose on your face, absolute dog shit performance.

We do have a midfield, a powerful one at that, just not used effectively.

Maybe Lampard said that Neto is their main man and RJ needs to be always with him. At the end, he was the Motm.

Pool scored 90+ plus points by attacking from the wing and cross. Their two top scorer are ther wide forward and their two most assiter (maybe not a word) are their two fb

What happened just now is another case of not learning from the past. This was just like the West Ham game back in June/July. We weren't playing well, struggling to score and instead of just saying "okay, let's just settle for the point here, run and regroup", we overcommitted ourselves brainlessly and conceded a late winner. Fucking joke!

Putting crosses into the box is one thing - sides like Liverpool and Man City do that a lot - but what I don't get is why we kept putting high crosses into the box for the likes of Werner and Pulisic to win. If it's delivered for Giroud, fine, go high with the cross but otherwise, why the fuck were we putting high crosses in? Where were the low crosses or even the cutbacks!? And another frustrating thing was nobody was intelligent enough to stay deeper and pick up the second balls - there were a good number of them - but yet, everyone kept trying to go for the high crosses!

Let me repeat for everyone that's trying to stay positive. 6 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses. Not good enough, just when we think Lampard is improving he keeps disappointing.

Or better, just take Neto out and take the yellow card! 

And that's always gonna be Zouma's problem. His defensive flaws get exposed when the game becomes open and he has to deal with 1 v 1 situations.

exactly, Thiago cannot steer him right then

[Muzchap 8,964]

Lol 4 games ago - Lampard can do no wrong 

4 games later - Lampard doesn't have a clue

The TC Rollercoaster 🤣🤣🤣

This season was always going to be a struggle to incorporate new players with little or no pre-season.

Yes, Havertz has had a bit of shocker lately, but what do you do? Stick him on the bench or play him until he finds some form. It can take players a season to adapt to the PL. 

We won't see the best of this team until everyone is fit. We have a couple of injuries, the wheels fall off and it's all Frank's fault. 

Let's see where we are at the end of the season - I'm predicting comfortable 3rd place minimum 👍

It's confidence. The players with confidence are great, without average. They need to bounce back 👍

As long as we don't go on a 3 or 4 game losing streak they will be fine.

[communicate 2,703]

Let me say, all of this attacking problem will be solved once Ziyech is back. But we made 200+ signing. We should be much better offensively but not sure we do. Last year there was a spell when we struggle to score because Lamp decided to freeze Giroud and Pedro. Once Pulisic got injured and tammy misfired we had no other player.

12 dropped points from games we should have won this one, Everton, and the two SHIT draws versus SOTON and West Brom, and the Manure robbery

that is hallway or more to last years 22-24 dropped points from chokes

and the season is only a 3rd of the way done

[Azul 1,615]

Everyone in their right mind knew that Lampard had to prove himself against the better sides, and currently he is failing.

 

How are you positive after this result? Do you realise what kind of a squad we have? We shouldn't be struggling in these games.
