Who's gonna be manager for this game?

Frank will be alright. He will forever be Super Franky Lampard. He's had an amazing career with us and nothing will change that. I am gutted, but this appointment, as romantic as it was, was high stakes roulette and it hasn't worked out. Only this time the house doesn't win really. Nothing should surprise us at Chelsea. Onwards and upwards.

Grim times

Frank deserves to see out this season, no matter what, and to Christmas next year to sort things out.. in my opinion. Manager are stumbling all over the place, social media has created a world of ridiculous impatience. If we are in the same, or a worse position by this time next year then yes maybe he's not up to it... but he does need time. As a player he's worked under so many managers, he must know a ridiculous amount about the game and what makes players tick. He is still very green as a manager, but we must give him time. And dare I say he probably needs another £100M to sort out the middle of the field. As I mentioned earlier, every manager is stumbling this season. Every single one! It's worth remembering that everyone was laughing at Ole "Ole in", "Give him the job for life" etc..... well, they'll be top of the table after their next game... could be worse for the PE teacher.

I agree that we are too lightweight and lack a certain bite in the middle. A simple comparison of the stature, calibre and physicality of our mid 2000s teams, compared to now.... I get that we need to have evolved into a speedier team as the game has moved on and relies on speed so much more, but at the same time we look a bit flakey... dare I say a bit like a Wenger team, but without a certain je ne sais quoi Look at these legends

Down with the dirty Leeds! This will be a right test!!

Love Mr Mendy, looks so solid!

something like £150M should pacify Barca you'd have thought

Think thats it big blue. Plus he cant be any worse this season than he was last season. Maybe his stock will rise and if hes improved someone will take a punt on him. Ideally he'd get back to the sort of form he was capable of...

Here it comes!

Seems to be all but a done deal now, a lot of moolah!

Beautiful French man

is he coming or not? 🙂

Joke shop

Just not good enough from Kepa. No presence and a lot of dithering. Big time Charlie!

NOW GET THE f**kING WINNER.

Frank needs several hundred million to put this right, sadly

Barkley is so f**king sh*t.

Grim Serious changes to the team needed.

For f**k sake?!!???

Its clear we need 3 or 4 big name players to come in to make us properly competitive at the top again. Its going to be very difficult to get those players, everyone above us wants strengthen and we will be naturally down the pecking order.

Good analysis Davey!
