Another great performance tonight, caused Man Utd problems.
Hes really finding his form back which is fantastic to see.

It's getting worse every game, I would be surprised Roman will decide to sack Lampard. 
In the last months our football doesn't change, we play the same way and nobody can understand how our buildup supposed to be going. Ball movement from side to side it's the basic, but we're not creative enough when the ball enters into the middle or attacking zone. We have enough of quality to make things happen, but it doesn't work. Maybe the players needs their time or maybe Lampard should work a way out for them. 
We clearly don't know how to defend as a unit, every pass breaks our line. It seems like only Kante knows how to steal balls or close down the pass route. We're giving too much space to our opponent and we're not physical enough. We must be aggressive on the ball, we have to look like animals that are looking for the ball, just like Jose said, we can't win games if we won't be bad boys. 
Current situation is worrying, we still haven't beat a team from top 10. We're going down and far from the top 4, if we won't get there then it will be a huge failure. Changes need to happen, maybe Lampard should think more and get anything that will shock the league or he will lose his spot. 

Scored an absolute belter against Villarreal:

He really isn’t what we need. The fact he was joking and laughing with Leicester players last night after full time shows up his mentality. Never an elite mentality.
Take us back to Lampard, Drogba and Terry days, after a defeat you’d never see anyone joking or laughing after a defeat.
This modern football mentality is weak as hell and I hate it.

Came in and was very lively, was happy for him to get that goal. Unfortunately it was offside.
Don't know what to expect, Havertz had two good games but today he was awful. Werner showed some motivation, some hunger. I hope he will find the goal as soon as possible.

He's starting to be annoying with his useless dribbling. His first action when he gets the ball is to run with his head on the ball. 
He's far from being the Pulisic we had last season, he supposed to be one of our key players but he's ruining us and himself. Time to give him some bench time.

- We do not know how to press as a team, we didn't steal or won any ball in Leicester's area and we lost almost every physical battle.
- We do not know how to defend as a team, the distance between our lines are too big and we're too open. Every pass will beat our line with just one player.
- We have no confidence, we don't play football and we can't do nothing right now. We already lost the game with our body language, we can blame Lampard but also the players who got no heart in the game.
 
We are going to have a tight battle for the top 4, I can't even say we're favorites to get our spot there.

Fulham's ball possession and movement much more interesting than ours. 

Tammy Abraham has scored 21 goals in 33 PL games he started. None of these goals were from penalty.
Just read it, sorry if someone has posted it and I missed it.

If we have the option to help him get his career back then I will do everything to make it happen.
His move to Real Madrid has destroyed everything he has done in his career. No matter what, I will never stop supporting him.

He seems much better than the first game with us against Brighton, he's more confident and with better players around him I believe he could put more through balls for an assist/goal.
He created two chances, he was very close to score with a decent kick. He's very active in the middle of the pitch, I didn't see a Spurs player gets a tackle on him or wins the ball from him.
There is still 45 minutes to play, but I'm very happy with this performance so far. He has to defend with more aggression and be more tactically disciplined when the opponent has the ball.  These are the negative things I saw in him in the game.

Very good performance by RLC tonight.
He had a good opportunity to score but missed a chance, he was little heavy in his run. But his passing and movement were great today, if he can keep his form in this way, then he definitely has a place in our squad for the next season.
I would never give up on our own player, always will believe in RLC!

The draw against Spurs may give a lot of confidence to Fulham. We need a proper tactical preparation, we have enough time. They're playing 2 games in 4 days, their attacking players were already tired in the 80th minute. 
This is the lineup I'd like to see:
------------------- Mendy ------------------
Azpilicueta - Zouma -- Thiago Silva - Chilwell
------------ Kovacic ---- Mount -----------
Ziyech ------------ Havertz ------------ Hudson Odoi
------------------ Werner ---------------
 
I'm not very impressed with Werner, but he has scored in the last game and he needs more time as a striker. I think this should be a good test for him.
COME ON CHELS!

I don't think Lampard has earned the Board's backing yet for even more big money spending.  If we were first or second in the league it might be another story. Right now its make do.

Another good performance by him.
This season is very good for him so far.

It's nice to be leading in the first half, we probably going to kill them in the second half because they already tired.
About our football I can't really be happy, it's still not that. I think only Hudson Odoi and Mount have showed some good moves and nice football. 
Werner has scored but he's out of the game for the whole half, Ziyech has been poor, Havertz has offered nothing special. 
The game must be different in the second half, maybe we needed the last goal for our confidence, especially for Werner and Havertz who got involved in the goal together.

At the moment our confidence is very low, we're in a very poor form and Lampard need every win to get the players back.
It's important to get a win here, players need to feel the goal, especially players like Werner and Havertz.
I'd rest few players, but play the key players to get their confidence back.
--------------- Kepa ------------
Azpi -- Christensen - Rudiger - Emerson
-------- Gilmour --- Kovacic --------
Ziyech ------ Havertz -------- CHO
--------------- Werner ------------
 
Give Giroud/Abraham the second half, use Anjorin in the second half to give Ziyech his time for a proper recovery and use another youth.
This time has to give us a proper win, but also we need to reach our form from the beginning of the season. Our team deserves a lot of critics and Lampard has to answer for all.
 

Maybe a proper time to put Havertz as our attacking midfielder when Werner is playing 9.

Yeah but Sarri lost 6-0 to City so Frank is doing a LOT better (or am I speaking too soon?!!)

Shocking defending as a team, our distance between the lines is huge. We don't know how to press, our possession is clearly doesn't work.
Too much things that did not work out. Maybe if we have some respect to our emblem, we will try to make a comeback in the second half.
Half to forgot.

Ah... I so love Lampard, so much respect for him, but it seems like he's going to different way. 
At the moment we don't have an offensive tactic, it starting to be very easy to defend against us. Last season he had a big problem in the defense, this season we started very good with our scoring ability but when we played a tough opponent we failed to do something. 
I believe he still can save his job, he has to change his whole tactic and start by putting players on their positions. Give Werner and Havertz the trust and faith they need, play them together in their positions. Give Kante his role and not to play next to Jorginho. And of course there is January transfer window, he would need to sell few players and get something.
Ziyech probably our most important player but he's injured, maybe get a proper backup player at his level. 
I really want Lampard to success and lead this team to the glory, but if he won't make any changes and work on his tactical plan, I afraid we will see him out.

We need more creativity, we're hardly missing Ziyech. 2 days and we have a game already, some rotation has to be done.
I'd go with this lineup:
--------------- Mendy --------------
Azpilicueta - Zouma - Rudiger - Emerson
--------- Kante ----- Mount -------
Hudson Odoi --------------- Pulisic
----------------- Havertz 
                                  Abraham --------
 
In attack we go high with 4-2-2-2 with Havertz playing next to Tammy. In defense he returns back to 4-2-3-1. 
James and Chilwell are both supposed to be injured, I don't know if they will be able to play 2 games in 3 days. Same as a Thiago Silva.
Azpilicueta with his leadership has to start. Hudson Odoi and Pulisic to be our most creative players in the final third.
Play Havertz mostly in the final third, use him in the central only for defensive duty. 
 
Aston Villa looks more confident than us, strange to say but we might be underdog here. Losing here and we're dropping ourselves from the ladder.
COME ON CHELS!!!!
