Obvious improvement on the previous 8 games or improvement on our 17 game winning run?

Obvious improvement on avoiding another shambolic performance and disgraceful defeat in the hands of Wolverhampton.

It does not end at that, we were able to neutralise them in their prime and saw a match with peace of mind without the tendency of developing high blood pressure.

BlueRayDick:
Well you know , If mount was well appreciated for just that alone, we won’t be having this discussion.

There is individual differences, so sense of judgment differs.

You're of the belief that Mount is superb for that running around quality and for that you're praising him. Why not maintain same for Havertz.

Leave others to stick to their own judgement.

FBS:
New era. New manager.

1st half : Some painstaking, uber patient build up, you would think that they were playing in slow motion.

2nd half: Improved performance, we didn't just rely on cross and nod, we tried playing in between the lines, passed the ball faster and the hunger to win the ball back quickly was evident. Havertz could have won it.

Best player I think was CHO, his best game so far. He is just missing that final decisive pass to up his game but his work ethic has definitely improved.

Chiwell definitely struggled and good to see we had a manager who actually reads the game.
Ziyech didn't do much and was not surprised he got substituted.

Tuchel failed to win his first match (not happy about that at all) but surely everyone can see the improvement.
Looking forward to the next match.

An obvious improvement

Ibime:
You want to bait me into comparing a new managers bounce to Lampards last horrible month. I pray Tuchel does well, but since you want to bring your agenda to my domot, let's be fair and compare like-for-like. Below is what I will compare Tuchels input to against the same Wolves. Go ahead and compare.

If you're talking about fairness, it behoves on you to bring Lampard's first match as a manager to compare his.

And in those matches, you state clearly which of them a true philosophy of football can be found.

BTW, why omit the part requesting for your remark on Jorginho and Co?

Ibime:
Let's ask Airmark and Dayos reliable whoscored

Many, myself in particular look forward to your take on the general performance of the players and input of Tuchel compared to Lampard.

Also, we expect you to Say something about Jorginho, Kovacic and Odoi.

Thanks as you oblige

BlueRayDick:
One funny thing about this match is the “running around “ and “activity forming “ that has been used to critique Mount is exactly what Havertz did all day

Since Mount was praised for just that, Havertz is as well deserving of praise too

Sarri reloaded or not, at least his style of play is obvious in his first match in charge unlike Lampard who oversees for 18 months and till today, his pattern is still unknown.

ItGeek:
A new coach, that just had one training session with the guys, and have gone for a mix of experience and youth, yet people are already making conclusions. TT is our new coach, lets all support him to succeed. It will take a while for us to know his settled starting eleven.

Hope they will listen and stop this irritating attitude of the live of Lampard to pass a hasty judgment

We have heard about threats and the threatener will later chicken out.

Chief Sunday Igboho made a threat, stood by it and work towards its realization against all odds.

KUDOS OSA

nihilistjnr:
That second goal was a comedy of errors to me.
Our defenders left Vardy in an offside position from the goal kick - of course you cant be off from a Gk, and it was his contested header from that GK that led to Albrighton getting the ball

While James was busy ball-watching, and Maddison was busy scoring, did you see that Rudiger actually gave away a pen on Vardy?

This our squad is 75% useless tbh, though Lampard too is looking more and more clueless these days

You're gradually seeing the light

nateevs:
Let's not make analysis is silos. No one is running away with the league. That's an indication that no one is consistently edging out the smaller teams.

We on the other hand are coming off a phase with most of our players fluffing their lines. We need a win however we can.

When we went on 17-match unbeaten run, I didn't see people saying we were predictable or only crossing, despite still playing the same football.

My grouse is not the personnel but with Lampard.

I don't have issues with his selection but his set up.

At least, one can tell the identity of Sarri, Mourinho and Co.

Can you at this point of his second season at the helms give us an explanation on his pattern, tactics, and imprint?

What is he doing technically to unlock opponents who sit back and all that?

Have you ever seen Lampard with a tactical twist and switch?

Is there any coherency in our football?

Proof me wrong about the tactical ineptitude of Lampard and I will succumb.

nateevs:
Who are the big six? Is Spurs one of them? Did you see the Fulham game against Spurs? Did you see Fulham against Liverpool?

That was limited to Fulham.

How are those teams edging out the smaller teams?

Ibime:
Have you seen any Fulham player in Chelsea half? If that's not parking the bus, tell.me what is.

There's nothing relegation about their defending. Spurs, Southampton, Liverpool and Leicester have been unable to break them down and take the win in the last month.

When you see the middle is packed, criticise with sense

Next match, you will come up with another excuse in support of the opposition.

This effort each of Chelsea opposing teams put up are credits to their coaches.

What are other big six coaches doing to better them in the act?

What has Lampard done differently?

A child is not brilliant, you're praising such child for a find handwriting.

Ó su mi ooi

nateevs:
There's nothing predictable about this football we are playing.

Common
It is glaring that at every ball we play it to the flank and cross.
Are we doing anything contrary?

Chelsea set out to play a predictable football.
Pass and gba, that's all

NextD18:
They should create it.

Apt.

Ask him if there was no space in previous matches too that they depend on cross?

snoopanddre:
Music really get money these dayz o. Just that i can't fully understand how they make all these monies from music. Any body with a better understanding should explain. No hating pls.

You're not alone on this

Tiago scoring yesterday means that all our new additions have recorded a goal bar Mendy

kushercain:
zouma and silva cb pairing should never be tampered with again

The whole back four should be maintained.

The statistics have been well publicised. Chelsea have now conceded 11 Premier League goals from corners since Lampard took over. That is more than any team still in the competition - and this despite the fact that his team have actually faced fewer corners than every team to play in the Premier League both seasons in that time bar Manchester City.

Chelsea are conceding a goal from every 14 corners they face. It is a weakness and a sign of a weak team - one that has conceded more goals away from home than any other team in the Premier League since Lampard was appointed. It is a damning record and it needs to change but are any of the big-name summer signings really going to be able to do that?

Blaming Lampard is with a reason

nateevs:
CHO is far more effective on the left. He has never been effective on the right.

CHO is only 19. It's easy to forget that. He deserves all the chances and this is the age to make those mistakes. I am always for giving young players chances.

Last season, people wanted to force Tammy out. But playing alongside an intelligent Havertz, we see what he (Tammy) is capable of in the right conditions. Always been the biggest fan of Tammy's. Statistically, he's still our most prolific player in front of goal.

Which means he is our best striker.

Ibime:
Tammy deserve to start next match.

Push Werner to the left wing and let Kai play AM

Lampard played Havertz at RW in the first match, CF in the second match and AM in the third match.

Hoping Lampard will put a stop to his gamble and obstinacy, and agree as you have agreed that Havertz should be played in the AM role.

Havertz first career hat-trick

DExponential:
Fashi Alcantara. That should have been Ziyech

Also Havertz

airmark:
Even before that 2nd goal, he was most of the time clueless when his defenders passed him the ball.

Maybe Thiago Silva can psyche him up when he gets into the team.

But don't you think the back passes are too much?

When the attackers are pressed, they pass to the midfield, from there ball returns to the defence and then to Kepa. Is Kepa press resistant?

Our backward passes are too much and it attract too much pressure.

nihilistjnr:
Kepa is a bastardddd

Lampard who started them is a bigger bastard

rationalmind:
I think the plan is to have them( thiago, pulisic, azpi) play the midweek league Cup match to gain some match fitness before throwing them into the league

Where did they lose their fitness and where did Alcantara gain his?

macjireh:
thiago can't speak English he's still learning and has little fitness issues

Continue deceiving yourself.

By next week he will be starting, he would have learn English right?

Lampard successfully render Havertz useless in two straight game.

Tiago was signed 2 days ago and is about to come in while we sign Silva a week ago but Lampard is saying he is not ready.
