Godx: Hazard too relies on sending the keeper the wrong way. But when he sees that the keeper isn't going to give away his where he intends to dive, he immediately goes for power. That's what being a good penalty taker entails. 3 Likes |

Abraham always the scape-goat, werner and pulisic that were dreadful in the first half, 0 pullout 0 cut ins, Our wing play was dead in first half yet none of them gets the blame. LEFT - WING WERNER DEAD. RIGHT - WING PULISIC DEAD. BUT CONTINUE TO BLAME ABRAHAM, EVEN WHEN HE DIDNT HAVE ANY DECENT SERVICE UNTIL CHO CAME ON. immediately those passengers kovacic and werner were removed we began playing well, yet i have not seen anyone critisize them. ABRAHAM IS NOT CHELSEA QUALITY, BUT WERNER AND HAVERTZ THAT ARE DROPPING DISASTERCLASSES WEAK IN WEAK OUT ARE CHELSEA QUALITY. HYPOCRITES KWATINUE JUST KWATINUE. 2 Likes |

swiz123: I have never agreed with you on this thread but this struck me. I mean, how can a club back a manager so much in the transfer market with many assurances, yet we've been fed drab football? We've not beaten any top team aside Sevilla, who rested their big lads in that match. I'm a huge fan of Lampard especially for how he galvanized the team with little talents at his disposal last season. Why can't he better his lot with abundance this season? Chelsea style of play is now boring as against last season. 2 Likes |

runtime: I thought I was the only one who saw Pulisic not play anything at all in the first half. He was practically a passenger in that half. A friend told me Pulisic has goodwill beacuse of his past performance for Chelsea so he's untouchable.....this is not in anyway excusing Abraham from being a shitty striker sha when it comes to set pieces 1 Like |

swiz123: You want to be a Liverpool with Giroud as your main hope for centre-forward shows that your expectations are amiss. To be a Liverpool, you need a Salah, a Mane, a KDB, a Sterling, an Aguero, a Lewandowski, a Messi etc. The only two attackers we have even approaching half that level (Ziyech and Pulisic) are constantly injured. The truth is that spending big money on Havertz is distorting expectations especially as Havertz is becoming an albatross round the neck. Arsenal don't become a consistent title contender just because they spent the same amount on Pepe. A young Salah or Mane will fetch you £200m-£250m on the open market now so forget thinking that Havertz signing is transformative. Infact, Lampard should not have accepted that signing as it distorts expectations. It is a signing the board brought to him which he deemed unnecessary, not one he asked for. That guy cannot measure up to even half of Bruno Fernandes even on form, yet the expectation is that we transform into consistent title contenders while Manure continue to be happy with top4. My expectations at the start of this season were to finish behind City and Liverpool ie 3rd or 4th and that hasn't changed, nor am I panicking while we are still in that race. It is looking obvious that those who expected Chelsea to be title contenders and were dancing and trolling rival fans all summer about signing Kai and Werner are the ones whose fuse is short at any draw or defeat. Even in our second game against West Brom, before our new signings could step on the pitch, they had started blaming Lampard for brainfarts of Alonso and Kepa. With young managers, what you look for is promise. Often when we have our full players on the pitch, there is plenty of that. We are always in the top two or three for chances created and in the bottom two or three for chances conceded which tells me something is going right but the team is not complete in the striker position, and suffering key injuries in other positions. 5 Likes |

BlueRayDick:Aswear. Why we lost to you guys was because of poor wing play in that first half, tierney and bellerin were just cruising I CAN BET MY LEFT BALLS WE DIDNT CREATE SHIT FROM THE WING THAT FIRST HALF. abraham was not also at his best i thought he could have done better with his hold-up play, but puting all the blame on him and exempting pulisic and werner is a no-no for me. Everybody here also sheiding kovacic "our best-player last season" and blaming jorg despite him changing the game by stabilizing the midfield that kovacic ruined. giroud and hudson-odoi would start next game i hope they take their chance. 1 Like |

Ibime: You still carefully absolved Lampard of any fault. You are being overly sentimental. In all your epistles, you failed to acknowledge the most important thing about yesterday's match or at least you didn't specifically mention it : Lampard was outsmarted by Arteta..... AGAIN. Make of it what you want, Lampard was solely at fault for our defeat yesterday. His decision not to bring on Giroud passed him off as an Arsenal sympathizer. 10 Likes |

runtime: That midfield was easily bypassed with Kovavic in it. I personally don't rate Jorginho but he kinda stabilised the midfield play when he came in and was instrumental to the push for a comeback before he eventually missed the penalty with his hopping penalty style 3 Likes |

airmark: This. We are so focused on defensive responsibilities when the problem is creativity and attack. This is so clear to the blind. Why cant we just use a 4-2-1-3, This would really play to the strength of our players. That double 8 nonsense Lampard persist with is just not working. Just compare our chances created against other top teams, No movements in and around the box, Everyone just stands still waiting for an Insha'Allah I was watching Man-city game and couldn't help but notice the tweak to their formation with their 2 dmfs 2 Likes |

swiz123: No, I didn't absolve him.of any fault. Infact I blamed him for wasting one of his three subs on Jorginho when Giroud, CHO and Havertz were the only options available to him to change the game in my opinion. What I won't do is unnecessarily add my voice to what has been a lot of unnecessary criticism right from the West Brom game on a manager I think has been harshly criticised. Even if I think he fücked up in a particular game, I won't stress it too much as he already got enough unfair criticisms for example those who were demanding he play an injured Ziyech and Pulisic at season start and blaming him for it. For example, We have a game in 48 hours time of which I fully expect CHO and Werner to start on the wings as Pulisic should not be playing twice in 48 hours with his hamstring record. I fully expect in that game for the same old moaners to start chorusing criticism calling him mumu for starting Werner on the wing again when Pulisic is there, and killing Werner confidence by playing him on the wing. These are the sort of dumb criticism I dissociate myself from in addition to the dumb criticism of some who criticise when Havertz doesn't play, while others criticise when Mount doesn't play or when Kova doesn't play. Some will shout when Kai or Werner are played on the wing, then the same people who have been criticising CHO for the last 2 years will moan that CHO didn't start over them. Some think the chances Werner has been missing should be scored by any striker yet think if you move him from wing to CF, he will automatically start converting one-on-ones with goalkeeper that he couldn't convert when played on the wing. The point is, there is no consencus amongst Chelsea fans about the right selections. If he go one way, half the fans will be pissed off, and if he go the other way, the other half will be pissed off. That just tells me there are personell and injury problems. On a normal day, you can't bet that a starting line-up of CHO, Puli and Giroud defeat Arsenal, yet that is the line up you use to blame Lampard for losing against Arsenal. What I saw against Arsenal was poor play yes, but unacceptable tracking from the wingers and a whole load of luck for Arsenal. I still have my criticisms of Lampard in that game, but I can't add my voice to such scattergun criticism. 4 Likes |

OJURONGBE1: I'll ignore ur rude comments and respond just this once. Look the team suffers from creativity when Mount plays. This is the honest to God truth There is no one to carry the ball up the pitch and feed the attackers. Mount is always clustering the attacking band and leaving massive holes in the midfield and not really playing his position. Why cant u guys see it. The dynamics of the midfield is rubbish with Mount in it. Look at Man-city team, Kova and Kante in the middle with Mount rotating for Kovacic is our best play. Put Havertz behind a front 3 of Pulisic, Werner and Ziyech/Cho and watch this team create wonders No one in that midfield has a guaranteed starting shirt except Mount, Not-even Kante. Can you honestly say it was driven by merit? 2 Likes |
