So we’re going to sign a winger in January?

I wouln't mind considering all the injuries we keep getting but at the same time when they are all fit we will have too many players then.

He's injured now as well.....

Any idea how long CHO is expected to be out?  

the moment Lamps said in the press conference that we are fully fit this was bound to happen.. 

any updates on his injury?

"Both players will hopefully be fit in two weeks," Lampard said. "They had scans yesterday [Monday]. I think that's positive, particularly with Hakim. With Callum we didn't know what to expect - he got an injury in training a couple of days ago. We'll see.

This guy is turning into our new hazard. Team is entirely different when he is playing

Honestly can’t wait for him to return. Clearly our most important attacker so far, brings the best out of everybody including Havertz.

It's a bit nuts how important he became to the team, and so quickly:

I've always advocated football should have assists like hockey (last two passers get an assist)

The guy's vision is incredible. Some people are comparing him to Mahrez. Yeah their dribbling styles are similar but Mahrez isnt anywhere near Ziyech in terms of vision.

Oh, to have Pulisic and Ziyech regularly starting!

I just have this horrible feeling that Ziyech is going to have more injuries to come...

Some positive news at last. 

Maybe its just me but all he seems to do is cross to the backpost.

As instructed, I'm sure. 

Has been one of the bright spots this season but shouldn't have started today.

At times seemed disinterested and I thought early on he should be subbed 'cos his head dropped. Souness just giving him a caning for the third goal where City counter but he just stands there with hand on hips. Hope he doesn't become one of those luxury players as the supporters will soon turn of him if he does too much of that.

Annoyed me greatly today. Left Azpi stranded a dozen times and his entire demeanour and body language looked way off.

Should not have started the game, but I guess desperate time calls for desperate measures. Usually Lampard is cautious with players from injury, read it as desperate attempt, or he had no faith in CHO

Very poor decision to select him today. CHO was our best player against Villa, so dropping him was bizarre. Ziyech was not at the races today - like most of the team - and he needed to come off earlier than he did.

Probably was not fully fit, not a great decision by SFL to start him.

Yes. I didn't understand the need to rush him into the starting position. As good as he has been, a 20-30 min appearance from the bench would have been appropriate.  Especially harsh on CHO who has been good in recent games.
