Azpi for me

More credit to open the game opening needs to be given to that big ball from Rudi to James, so well handled by Reece James, that won the corner.

"The thing with Mount is that he is more known for his pressing from the front. Playing slightly deeper would change his game dramatically." I actually think it would improve his game dramatically. I think he will develop into a better Matic. His strengths offensively are hitting it from distance and slotting a pass forward with pace through the lines. He really struggles technically near the box, but plays well forward. He also seems to run into others passing lanes a bit much for my liking.

CHO, awful today.. missed 3 or 4 balls to him.

"Sarri did transform our club by playing possession based football but Lampard has fully developed a totally new identity that suits more to our club and to our own mentality, this so called reputation of Chelsea being this club that plays "anti-football" and that parks the bus was never a full picture of our club as we were always looking to attack and to show our teeth and grit and that's exactly what Lampard is looking to do, he has been at the heart of this culture and this club and he simply understands what Chelsea is all about.": I really don't see us do anything particullarly well this year under Frank, we score a touch more, but we commit a lot of numbers forward. But we have been awful under Frank in the back. We've give up 49 in 35 games this year, we gave up 39 in 38 last year... with Alonso, Luiz, Rudiger, Dave, and Kepa.

"Fot anyone questioning lampard's ability to set up a defence, its worth noting that we actually dont give up that many chances. 4th in the league in terms of the expected goals from how many chances opponents create against us, which i think is very good considering how many individual errors that are made. " Would be nice if Abraham could lay off a pass like Rudiger did.

"Willian man of the match by a country mile in this game for me" ugg... he's missed way too many chances today, that ball from Pulisic that would have made it 3-0

RLC just doesn't have much pace right now

Tough save for sure... Zouma screening (he should have closed more), outside of the foot hit bent around Zouma, with a ton of pace. I find it hard to fault him on that one.

That's the problem with trying to be a counterattacking team, we play the bottom teams and we have to change

I think Paul Mariner coached youth in Atlanta for a bit in the 90's.

2 minutes ago, RMH said: If you refer to Jorginho, I'd agree, but he is not on the pitch at the moment. And I don't know why Frank isn't playing Jorginho after the lockdown. Neither does anyone else except Frank If Gilmour can fill his role, good chance we plan on selling him.

"We used to have Hazard come all the way back and play it out the back, which was like using a cheat code. No such luxury any more" It's just not a Lampard value. Hazard was fun to watch. but I'd still take Abraham / Pulisic over Hazard / Morata.

"We have to be the worse team in the EPL playing out from the back...every pass is suicidal and into dangerous areas. Thought we would have sorted this out by now...hopefully before next season starts anyway. " Zouma, Emerson, Mount, Kante all not good enough on the ball to really build.
