Segedinho:
You and I know that mount has been much better than odoi in d wing until exterday.

D pic only shows u a counter wch was fruitless.

Alonso had a very poor game and was subbed.


They scored from gifts and no thanks to caballero

I wonder what you guys are complaining for.

We had a very good game despite kante was off.

Kante played dsame agnst Liverpool and was seen all over.....


Lampard had no blame xterday TBF

he played very well,despite they sitting too deep,we scored 3 good goals,created some good chances..

What do u really want from Lampard

He should be blamed when he goofs but he brought back a team 3 down from mistakes to score 3 good goals in 45mins after he saw were d lapses were.


What poor defending did Chris n Silva did xterday

Were kante and kovacic dominated in d mid

At the bolded, this is where you are getting all wrong, is there anyway west Brom can dominate us even if we play Kante Barkley Havertz. Oga we needed progression from midfield to attack against west Brom and not dominating midfield with side way and back passes that resulted to errors.

Itsceejay009:
Alonso heads the ball to a WBA player, blame Lampard. Thiago Silva makes a schoolboy error, blame Lampard. Poor marking in a corner, blame Lampard. Abraham and werner missing chances they should be scoring, blame Lampard. I just hope these same people will acknowledge Lampard when we start winning sha

Even with those errors if Lampard got his selection right we would’ve won hands down.

Segedinho:
Oga o...


Abraham earned his spot after d carabo's match.

When Giroud came on ,what was his contribution

If you really watch d match without a prior biased motives,you would know already that the games was Chelsea's right from d beginning until d mistakes.

The formation was not shaky at all,kante was just off form cos dis is dsame formation he has been using and kante would be seen...


Just say u hate lampard and You want him out.

We would understand not all these attacks

From captain to Arteta and experimental claims...

Let me ask you this.were kante n kova dominated or rather outplayed.

U want to bank on Barkley and later blame havertz for not performing in d 8 role

Hate Lampard? far from that. Kante sitting for Barkley/Mount Havertz would’ve been the best selection yesterday. Dominating play with no penetration is useless, against west Brom side way passes are not needed, rather intelligent progression of the ball to the opponent’s box 18. If he start Abraham because he impressed against Barnsley Azpilicueta played well too why didn’t Lampard start him.

lordfalcao:
Lampard should know that Chelsea is not derby , where he can just wake up and use any player wey come his mind..

How can we go into the game, leaving the only pure winger we have in odoi on the bench.. second half just showed say na team selection follow make us play this rubbish..

Nwoke a muru anya a oo. Maka na oraruo ura atoro battery motor ya oo

Abi na. I wonder why them Dey argue the obvious. Actually I don’t have issue with him starting either Mount or odoi but playing kova Kante against west Brom was disappointing from Lampard. Lampard is a sentimental coach, he is verY quick to play Abraham and Mount and was even saying Loftus cheek can play 10 when we all know the guy is as slow as tortoise and can’t even spot runs.

Segedinho:
What tactics and line up will u adopt or approve

Bro each game is approached according to opponent. Like that yesterday, there was no need for kova Kante since you are playing west Brom and no need for 4231 formation against west Brom. Even with the individual errors we would’ve won if Lampard did his selection and formation right.

Thecassanova:
People are starting to see the light

I have been singing this before the season started.

Adiwana:
I don't know how some of you watch games. Thiago made a mistake and somehow Christensen gets the blame because "he's not fast enough." I don't see you not blaming James for not covering for Alonso's mistake for the first goal.

It's one thing you don't like a player but some criticisms are just stupid to say the least. Christensen had a good game and paired very well with Thiago in the whole game. Apart from the mistake from Thiago which somehow Christensen gets blamed for, both of them looked organized and played well alongside each other

And for your last point,the selection of Abraham was not out of place. He made decent runs and created spaces in the first half. Even missed two well created chances in the first half. I don't know how anybody that watched that game will blame the loss on Frank's selections. Alonso was the only Chelsea player that had a bad game and was culpable of two goals and that was it

Lampard selection was bad bro, mostly in that midfield, there was no need for kova Kante pairing against west Brom. His selection is hiding Warner’s talent and goal scoring prowess.

Adiwana:
Please I would like to know their ideal formation for the game

Like that west Brom game yesterday. He was supposed to play 4123/433 formation. Kante to sit for Havertz and Barkley.

Adiwana:
All three goals were individual mistakes and not tactical errors. He's selections was spot on for the game and he made effective changes at the right times to salvage a point. I am critical of Lampard and his selections and tactics but to blame him for yesterday is really ridiculous

His selection was not spot on mr. I mean why start kova Kante together against west Brom, why play warner in 4231 formation. Why pair weak Christensen with old sylva, you have Zouma who can cover well for sylva in terms of speed and strength. Lampard experiment too much. His sentimental mind is affecting his selection and tactics.

swiz123:
I wonder why Lampard left Zouma and Chillwell out of the squad. Actions like that deserves to be explained. Chelsea's problem has always been a goalie, centre back and left back. So, any selection that leaves those positions weak must beg a lot of questions.

Caballero is just a clown; criticising him is just a waste of energy.

Thiago Silva made a costly error. I don't want to criticize Christensen for not covering him up, but a fast Zouma would have got the sliding tackle spot on. He saved Christensen's blushes with a last ditch tackle against Palace last season when the former made a costly error. Even Tomori might have salvaged the situation.

Fact is, Silva needs to be paired with a fast and aggressive centre back which Zouma is just like he had Presnel Kimbempe at PSG.

Lastly, the choice of fielding Abraham because he scored and assisted against Barnsley. If tactics is anything to go by, ask yourself this: Playing against the baggies who you know would lie very deep, whom would you choose between Giroud and Abraham to have a greater impact? My money is on Giroud because that is one of his strengths. His aerial strength gives him an advantage in this kind of matches, and his link up play would have been helpful.

Lampard keep experimenting when it is obvious we have the right players to win games for us according to the opponent. West Brom match is a game you need Giroud in 4123/433 formation. With Giroud warner would’ve scored by now. Barkley know how to drive the ball forward, Kovacic Kante pairing was not needed yesterday.

Thecassanova:
How many times would Lampard see that Kante - Kovacic pivot doesn’t work. These two can’t cover the back 4, & can’t even link defense and attack together. Individually they’re ok but playing together is a no no. Alonso brainfart give away ball could’ve been intercepted if Kante was sitting alone at Dm for that first goal. Kante back to DM 2ndhalf provided us more shield.

Against a team like Westbrom with probably 10 of their players packing the bus, I don’t need 2 DMs with no attack sense to be recycling back-side way passes, what a waste.

My fault with Lampard yesterday.

Thank you my brother. I mean why play Kovacic Kante together against west Brom. Why not play either of them, then play Barkley and Havertz as 8s. Why play warner in 4231 formation knowing that he is a striker that will strive well in 433.

Segedinho:
What is your preffered line up and why


Let start from there.


It is now Arteta.......not captaincy again

Its not just line up for Lampard but his tactics and approach to games, his selection too.

Jodera:
I'm tempted to ask.. Did you watch the match?
Cos the way you're going about this, seems you just want to blame lampard cos of the scoreline without even watching the match

I watched the match. Lampard approach to game is rubbing on our results and the way the team play. Don’t be surprise Kepa is not that bad but his consistent changing of CB partners is a weakness to any goalkeeper. See how Arteta organize arsenal to play, he already has his winning team and tactics and he is building on that.

Segedinho:
Is starting attacks from the back a poor tactics.

This is exactly what modern football requires .


Those goals from mistakes weren't from pressures but just silly mistakes not cos it is "passing from back" tingy

U kick a ball out under pressure.

Lamp doesn't deserve any fault from xterday

Lampard contributed to the fault, he likes to try new thing all the time, always experimenting, I mean why give sylva captain arm band. What do you expect sylva to feel like with that move.

Segedinho:
What we expected was actually what we got


But u are putting individual horrendous mistakes on Lampard....

Is it tactics that played the ball twice to their strikers

It is his instruction and tactics that make chelsea defenders and keepers to always pass at the back thereby leading to errors.

Segedinho:
No mind them

People will just open their mouth just to talk without taking things into consideration.


Blaming lampard for xterday game is just being careless.

We played very well till d mistakes

had good chances n still played better.

Some deficiency was spotted n covered up in d 2nd half n we pinned them to to thier half.

People are just busy typing even after they knew we are short of first team players.

We had a very good game last night,there was no head down even after 3

The mentality n belief was there.

Silva n Chris were good except those mistakes.

Not playing odoi was a very good decision cos he has been a mess who needed to redeem himself.

I wonder how people watch matches self.

What do you expect against west Brom.

Chelsea need a new coach. Lampard is not fit to lead the team. He is always changing CB partners and we expect goalkeepers to be in their best

Segedinho:
Silva's mistake killed his rating.


Caba was too slow to dive.

De gea would save 1 of those ill-place goals

Our off ball movement and recovery are average and it is Lampard’s fault.

Lampard is funny. You are playing well, for him to remove Tammy for Giroud

BopZaddy:
Werner is playing 10..Havertz is on the right wing

Lampard is funny. He is playing 4222, Havertz and Mount flanked the wing.

Thecassanova:
No choice but Kante-Kovacic pivot don’t compliment eachother well

We need Rice

Truly we need Rice. They run at each other cos both are roaming midfielders, a sitting CDM will balance the team.

macjireh:
wat kind of Lab experiment be ds sef...anyways give me 4-0...is all I ask for

I predicted this formation the other day.

Brighton Dey play Man U football. Wow

Nezzjnr:
This Guy na Foooooooolllll


Ole na Idiot

Man u best line up. They will trash Brighton by 4 goals.

raumdeuter:
Juventus won the title on the field, Inter won in the board room, Juventus was demoted so how do you expect a demoted team to win the league

They won off field too because of match fixing.

odizeey:
This one look like who go drink goals. Naso kepa start.

He will not. We reject every spirit of drinking goals from him.

raumdeuter:
You know nothing. Juventus won the league in 20006 before they were relegated.

How do you expect Juventus to be runner up from 2nd division

They were stripped of that title due to match fixing so it didn’t count. Inter Milan was the winner in 2006.

raumdeuter:
Juventus is an underdog to Milan?

So the season Chelsea finished 10th we can say Chelsea was an underdog to Leicester

Juve last won seria A 2003 before Conte. Mostly inter Milan dorminated the league before Conte. Ac Milan won twice too before Conte. Juve were not even runner up since 2003 before Conte.

raumdeuter:
Why should we collect your kepa? Dem close your eyes when you dey bid world record for am?

Na desperation seeing how Cortoise went AWOL on us.

raumdeuter:
You have the most expensive keeper, Azpi, Alonso, Rudiger, Kante, Kovacic, Jorginho, Giroud, Willian, Pedro, etc who are experienced playing in the most prestigious cup in Europe

Then give us Neuer and collect Kepa

raumdeuter:
How is Juventus an underdog in Italy? Cuntay left Juventus and they made the CL final with the same team Cuntay failed with
How is Chelsea an underdog? Underdog to who?

Juve were underdog to the Milan clubs before Conte came. Chelsea finished 10th position before Conte appointed.

raumdeuter:
Was Bayern coach not a rookie manager? Who are the transfer activities of Bayern in the side that beat Chelsea?

You have Neuer, Alaba, Thiago, Lewandowski, muller, Kimmich, Gnabry, Coutinho, Martinez who are experienced playing in the most prestigious cup in Europe.
