Its not good.

I was worried about this before the W Ham game, and that win changed my mood slightly..

Regardless, I hope we get some fortune in the next 2 games. Can't afford to lose so much pace with the rest of the top 4 contenders in such a short span of time.

Exactly we cant afford it, teams like LC looking much the better outfit, not good enough with the money we used.

LAMPARD-BALL, PEOPLE!

 

Crap that sounds like Moyes' United team.

That has become our go to tactic this month. 

Its like one of the crutches that Lampard leans on, whenever something worked in the previous few games (in this decent wing play from our full-backs)

Lampard just threw the players under the bus.

The players always look dead on their feet in the game following a free week - or close to a free week. I am sure there are some who would still rather blame the players but if you don't believe me, go look at the some of the results and performances last season. A free week always gives Lampard the "chance" to overwork the players and it's also why we always seem to get a random injury or two after no game in midweek.

To be fair you have been banging on about this for a while.

Maybe he is killing the creativity and the players are thinking fuck this.

You yourself looked like a zombie on the touchline all game.....and lazyness comes from the manager, you either show me passion or you are out, thats a good manager.

Lampard need a West Ham player to beat a shitty Arsenal 

[ZAPHOD2319 4,819]

Roman bought Lampard’s first choices for every position. You just can’t say it is their fault.

I want to see Lampard succeed, but I want Chelsea to succeed more. If he cant put a game plan together that can beat a bad Arsenal team that is missing their top players... he has to own that.

Fair enough in my book but we wont get better if im honest, this isnt just a bad patch we are seeing. Arsenal looked 10 times better...how? They played much better, you could see what they wanted, arsenak had a plan and fired up for we had jack shit going for us.

Well if anything, it shows how Arsenal are not as shit as everyone is making them out to be. Same with Ole's United. And us.

I think everyone should accept (if they haven't already), that all 3 managers and their teams are going to be inconsistent, at least for a while 

The question is, what is their ceiling and how long will they take to stamp out the negatives? Ole is on 2 years, Lampard 1.5 years, Arteta 1 year.

It goes back to the post that Tomo made a couple of weeks back. No matter how much flak he deserves for today's result, or our points tally so far, you have to admit he has made some improvements, notably defensively.

Is the rate of progress enough? It depends on what the cost is. i.e, where are we ending up on the table. To me, this season, the buck stops if we fail to break top 4. Maybe the board has a higher target, but until then we can AFFORD to give him more time. . Next season, the bar will obviously be higher.

wrong thread

[Fulham Broadway 17,317]

worrying thing is Villa will have a lot more grit than those Arse youngbloods

[Atomiswave 6,117]

Sooo, another chance to claw ourselves back and we blew it royally, I will take my anger on some poor souls in street fighter 5 now, while being stoned cuz this game ruined my humour big time. Good night

we could easily lose 5 of the next 7 league games

which would make it 8 losses out of the last 11 EPL games

and that assumes we even take care of business with Fulham and Burley

if that happens Lampard needs to be sacked

no more bullshit

 

Lampard has been unlucky this month with the fixture list, but it's a results business. Hopefully he can get his team motivated in time for the next 5 games.. If he drops too low in the table, the board's patience will wear thin.
