His all-round game makes me happier than his goals, I knew he was a good goalscorer but I genuinely didn't think he had such a polished all round game.

He has everything, you will struggle to say were he can improve his game technique wise. The only surprise is that we didn't have him in the team last season. He already had the talented all round game to play a year ago, those quick turns and close ball control for such a lanky player got everyone's attention from Bristol to Sheffield, the only reason Wolves fans booed him today was because they were still sore he turned them down for Villa. We had fans come on here from other clubs just to say wow you got a player in Tammy. I've been on here long enough to say that was a first.

Not bad for a lad named Kevin.

It was like watching Drogba today, even down to the slight miss-control on the third goal.  Great player on our hands here.

Fills my heart with joy seeing 3 genuine Chelsea lads celebrating 

Pure Drogba, all 3 goals. Superb.

I actually think the third goal was more prime Torres esque the way he fronted up Cody then used his acceleration to get past him.

Agree that third goal was peak Torres.

The others were closer to Drogba's.

The first one was more like peak Demba Ba, albeit slightly more co-ordinated.

Fall over, stick your leg out, and get it into the net anyway! 

I forgot he was only 21. I could have sworn he was older. For a lad who is still so young, he has massive scope for improvement. I honestly expected at most about 8-10 goals from him this whole season, but he continues like this he'll make my prediction look silly, and I hope he does. 

His main issue was confidence, he's got it now and I think a large part of that came from Lamps. I think the racism ordeal has made him stronger too mentally

As well as the obvious talent on the pitch, what a great interview this young Tammy gives. I'm becoming a huge fan of this lad ... absolutely superb attitude, work rate, and his blood runs Blue for sure ...

Thought he supported Arsenal.

Tammy has already matched or bettered Rashford's PL goal tally from 3 of his 4 season's at United and is 3 goals away from matching his best tally. He's also only 6 goals away from matching his best tally in all comps.

Not bad considering any comparison between the two was universally laughed about as recently as 4 weeks ago.

To have this epic young player is a big testimony of our great academy, that ironically so many laughed at while saying that the academy doesn't mean anything since we don't even promote the players to the first team. None of that was true, in fact the most difficult thing is to raise or locate is a talented striker, just look how difficult it is to find a good striker these days.
A player like Tammy is one of a kind and without him we wouldn't know who to put there for the future.

Some time ago when he missed a penalty I said that will be his battle scar, and that he will keep that as a motivation to continue to work hard day after day.
And now he has scored 7 goals in the league he's right there at the top with Aguero, but Aguero has more shots taken than Tammy which means our striker is more efficient, more deadly.

Abraham,Loftus-Cheek,Hudson-Odoi,Mount,Pulisic,James,Tomori,Christensen,Zouma,Kepa = our new dynasty of young players, together with the key players like Kante,Rudiger,Jorghino we can witness Frankie making the best team in Europe in the couple of years. Believe the process, KTBFFH

Love the optimism. 

As mad as it may seem I am starting to wonder if this will be Kantes last season with us. Ironically it’s because of another youngster who you actually don’t mention. That player is Ethan Ampadu.

In addition I just don’t think Zouma has the skill set of a top class defender that may be down to his injury but then again it might just be he isn’t good enough either way it’s an area that needs addressing particularly if we adopt a 3-4-3 as our go to formation.

 

 

Imagine when this lad has a few years of PL experience under his belt and continues to get stronger physically.  He’s going to absolutely destroy defenses, even more so than he is already.

If Tammy can emulate the great Demba Ba every season only in stopping Liverpool winning the league he’ll be my hero 💙

Big thing about Tammy’s success so far this season is Lampard’s system has been all about creating space and scoring chances for the centre forward.

We’re not seeing the central midfielders dallying with the ball in the opposition half, the ball is getting forward early and direct and allowing Tammy to take up some great positions. 

Fantastic start to the season from Tammy. I honestly didn’t think he’d start the season as first choice, I thought Giroud would get the nod because of his experience.

 

I thought he would get the chance yet questioned whether he would be good enough and whether he would get the right service.

On his first appearance this season they pumped high balls to him, next time out it was to feet and we see the good results now as he does have genuine ability.

Replacing Kante with Ampadu would be insane. I think its important to supplement youth with quality world class players. 

As good as Ampadu has looked, he is still to get going at leipzig yet, he would need sn astronomical season for the club to take that decision with the market being open. 

I also can't see Kante being sold, how msny teams would pay the fee we would want for a 29 year old, with no real marketing pull. He is on massive wages with 4 years left on his current deal. Just doesnt really seem a likely thing to happen as things stand.

A few games ago he looked like our weakest link... Wow, what a player we seem to have on our hands. That third goal was pure class.

Just shows how important a bit of confidence is, and credit to Lamps for providing it, too. 

Very happy being proved wrong here. Same again against Liverpool please Tammy.
