Gol15 896 Posted October 21 Last game the team created a lot of shots/headers from corners, that shows our set piece offense is improving, that might influence the defense as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brutos 2,119 Posted October 23 So I was skeptical about this appointment due to his inexperience as I wanted him to get a few more seasons but I will admit now I was wrong and he’s been the best thing that could have happened to us now. You can see the whole atmosphere around the club is just positive and everyone seems to be fighting for the club and badge. I am loving It, I'm excited for matches am loving the young guns getting blooded it's SOOooooo excited, we will have setbacks but I believe we will win the PL with Lampard and we will win the Champions league with Lampard it will happen believe me it will.COME ON CHELSEA!!!!!!!! 6 hawkster, DannyVblue, Jezz and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nibs 6,986 Posted October 23 Don't want to get too carried away but equally am very excited and positive about how things are going and the gradual improvement. What I am really amazed about is how there is very little to question. The starting line-ups he is selecting are pretty much what I would be going for and the subs are often bang on the nail. It's as if Lamps & Jody ARE Chelsea supporters just like us and see what we see. How many times have we had coaches in the past where we are all left scratching our heads when certain players are continuously selected and then the subs are so predictable and uninspiring. No doubt there will still be blips along the way but I love how they are learning from mistakes and so quickly. Supporters are looking forward to the next match every time and it has been a while since that was the case. 12 dkw, WhiteWall, Valerie and 9 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
just 5,563 Posted October 23 I think the comment from Joe Cole on B T Sport pre-game said it all. And Joe is, and always has been, a Chelsea fan. "Everything just feels right at the club at the moment" Amen. 8 Kev56, nominator, Amputechture and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evissy 4,112 Posted October 24 What is also great is we can take rough patches. If we suddenly lose 5 games it is not so bad. Young teams go up and down. I don't see us losing 5 in a row but it can happen.Great work so far Frankie! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many of us questioned his role and importance in lenght. I think that was more down to the tactics used originally, you could argue that Jorginho was even more scrutinised than Kovacic last year. But at the end of the season they both game good and very important for us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's true and to be fair Lamps & Jody have got a slightly "easier" ride than previous coaches because of the circumstances re the ban and losing Hazard. But Lamps is no mug and he's smart enough to know that expectation levels will rise the longer he is in charge but right now it is great to see the way the whole squad and club had bought into it and we can all enjoy the ride. Long may it continue. 1 Jezz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evissy 4,112 Posted October 24 For Frank the opponents are the same. We face the same teams as Sarri and Conte. Second season will be harder as opponents wil know how we play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JM7 2,425 Posted October 25 Given our recent injuries, does anyone think that maybe Lampard’s supposedly strict training might be the cause of the injuries? Not saying he is and I have no evidence to say it is but I wonder if pushing them so much every day might be having a negative effect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Argo 3,336 Posted October 25 I very much love how he's embracing different challenges and styles of play with opponent's and focusing on conquering instead of moaning about it. How many managers who play the attacking/possession based football Lampard does whine to high heaven when they play against low blocks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
