He lives in West London so always gets the Chelsea home games, love the hospitality too.

One of those games we will probably win 3 or 4 nil but could be losing at half time. The penalty and keeper error certainly changed the game .

Only way we was scoring

Kante offers the most going forward but that is also not a good thing and why all 3 shouldnt play together. I dont really care that a player can dribble himself out of trouble or someone who can keep passing, Kova and Jorginho offer nothing in the final third of the game. That's why you drop 1 of the 3 and have 3 attacking players behind the striker.

Jorginho is not world class, end off. Theres only a select few of players that are world class and we only have 1 player in our squad.

Why would CHO be an idiot? Sarri's treatment of him was poor, he would have left then we have Pedro, Willian and Pulisic. Then what does that say to the other youngsters who would have had to play at some point. They are mates, they all talk, it's like any other workplace. CHO was playing well until he got injured. So your picking Lampard's worse run of form and making comparisons on a completely different squad? Im sure if Lampard had a get out of jail free player he would have more points. How well do I think Sarri would have done before the international break, not very well having to play Tomori and Zouma every game, I doubt we would have qualified through the champions league aswell. Before you get all excited about Juve, David Moyes would win the league out there,.

The Sarri obsession is very small group of people. It's not even about who is the better manager, for me it's about who would have done better this season under the circumstances we have been put under. No Hazard who is world class and saved us many times in the past. Kante, Rudiger and RLC injured for long parts, a manager who needs to look after a group of youngsters who have turned out to be an important part of the group. I would rather have Lampard under these circumstances than Sarri, Sarri for me has a lack of man management and after seeing how dealt with CHO then I can't see how he would be playing 5-6 youngsters. I doubt CHO would have signed a new contract if Sarri stayed and then how much believe would that have given the other youngsters? I saw nothing last year that suggests Sarri would have us in a better situation this year.

Haha! I prefer to look at this team and this season on it's own and Juve should quite comfortably win the league with that squad and go pretty far in the champions league, let's see what happens. Come on Conte 😉

I would say Juve's squad is stronger this year.

In defence off Lampard with Kante and his midfield options is none of them are really the most gifted in an attacking sense. Jorginho and Kovacic pick up yellows for fun, Jorginho is slow and form hasn't been great of late, Kovacic came on against Brighton and had a mare, Kante is out of form and Barkley likes to party so Lampards choices are quite limited. Theres no need for all 3 of them though against the smaller teams but then maybe Lampard doesn't trust the defence or Jorginhos defensive part of his game. Regarding Willian I can see why Lamps picks him, without looking at stats he has been our best winger the last month or so and I'm not one of Willians biggest fans but he deserves his place in the team atm.

Sarri is world class, are you having a laugh Haha. I would rather have Ancelotti back than Sarri and I dont even regard Ancelotti world class anymore with all the trophies he has won. You mean Kante who was injured until November and Rudiger who came back against Lille in December, what do you mean back? A new signing in Abraham who is banging them in, do I feel confident he would do the same under Sarri? Nope. Young players need someone who they can look upto to, someone with good man management and speaks English. I think Sarri would be going mad with a squad which has Tomori, Mount, Zouma, CHO, Reece James, Pedro and Giroud a year older and the rest. His smoking would be at an all time high.

No chance, one of the best players in europe leaving and and like @Slojo said we have had Kante, Rudiger and RLC all injured and out for big parts of the season. Also Kovacic is a better player under lampard and I cant see Sarri getting the same reaction from the current group of young players.

That Juventus squad is ridicolous, just need to look at the bench. Juventus should win Serie A comfortably.

World class gets branded around too easy, Jorginho and Kovacic are not world class. KDB is world class, Messi is world class, Van Dijk is world class, world class is the elite players.

I dont think Frank is being stubborn about Willian, atm Willian is our most consistent and best attacking player. In a Chelsea team trying to break teams down though it shows how much we miss Hazard and how poor we are going forward when Willian is your best player. I really like Mount and his only going to get better, what is Frank meant to do? Play Kovacic, Kante and Jorginho and have 7 defensive players on the pitch? I think that's being negative from the start. Anyway I'm enjoying this season, if Frank gets top 4 then I think that's a big achievement. Sarri would be playing Pedro and Giroud and I dont think we would have the same amount of points.

That was a better corner, get in Dave

The front post corner is what happens 99% of the time, doesnt change because someone actually got to it for once

Arsenals defence is one of the worst in the prem, we just create f**k all

And the rest of them

Arsenal are so sh*t ffs, come on

What's happened with Pulisic? Would be ideal for this game, need someone to run at them fullbacks.

You can't be starting with 5 defenders and 2 defensive midfielders at home. We was never going to be creating much, quite a simple error IMO.

Surely Willian would have been better rested and ready for Arsenal on Sunday. Willian against a team with numbers back brings the same performances but he will most likely be better against an open Arsenal team on the counter. The whole attack was blunt and sh*t but that doesn't make Willian's performance good enough because he runs abit more, we have heard this for years about Willian and I'm pretty sure many Chelsea fans predicted this Willian performance before kickoff, it's been a pattern for many years now.

By playing backwards, that's what you get excited abou?. Doesn't mean he needs to play wingback.

Wouldnt have Pulisic played this game then?
