I don’t understand why we keep playing this formation. Our best performances under Lampard have come while we’ve played 4-3-3. I don’t understand why we play with a pivot in the middle. None of the combinations we use are good enough to dominate.

I agree. For a guy feted for his intelligence and high IQ, Frank doesn't half make a lot of dumb decisions, and he also seems to have an inability to learn from mistakes ...

Maybe he needs to go to Specsavers, because he certainly seems unable to see the f**king obvious ...

Get a new no.2 who knows how to set the team up to defend of Frank is finished. It was clear we needed defenders not strikers. We let 54 goals in Last season  but we finished in the Top 4 , scoring wasn’t a major problem. It’s a joke 

Come on, two quick goals and we are back in it.

AZPI On.

Cho and azbi going on 

Frank just needs to settle on his first 11 and formation already. If some of the players are not fit, then train them on set pieces and defending. 

We commit so many men forward and have them rotating like it's musical chairs, everyone is congesting the middle and no one is dragging any of the opposition out of position. 

I fear for frank now but I have to say he had brought it all on himself

I refuse to believe our defenders are this bad.

There is something very wrong with the setup and coaching they are receiving, 

Can't it be both? It wasn't any better under Sarri. The only difference is that Sarri ended up approaching games with a more defensive mindset.

is azpi the captain again? wtf haha

My wife better give me a blow job tonight to make my life worth living...or at least a hand job because at this exact moment that seems the only way I can go to sleep relatively happy tonight, even then I don't know of that'll cut it

We are getting outplayed by Brighton and West Brom. Wtf?

This is so true....Lampard seemed so happy after the alright on game but we were thoroughly outplayed.

Azpilicueta should have started the game.

James is starting to look a defensive liability and needs to be dropped for Dave. He was at fault for two of the goals. 

Need Chilwell fit as soon as possible because Alonso isnt up to it. 

Mendy is going to walk into the starting XI. 

Anyone saying we don't need Declan Rice. The performance from the two holding player today tells you exactly why we're in the market for a dedicated defensive midfielder. 

People keep bemoaning Lampard picking Mount. He's our best player out there today and the other 10 starters could learn a thing or two from him. 

While I agree with most of the players' assessments you'd have to wonder what happened to the coaching? I can take being beaten against Liverpool with a man down or get destroyed by Batern, because it's down to the quality of the opponent, but being humiliated by West Brom? At what point do we start wondering if Frank is up to the task? I'm just stunned. If there's no reaction in the second half, questions should be asked.

I believe if a team forfeits it is counted as a 3 nil loss.

 

Right now we look like we would have been better off with the forfeit.

If we keep Lampard we’re going to be no different than Ole and United with their ups and downs because they’re both not experienced or tactically ready for the premier league of today. As someone said Chris Wilder showed how to do this a couple months ago when we got throttled 3-0 by Sheffield United.  My dream was to have lampard be the chelsea manager but he just doesn’t seem ready at this point. I mean he had one year total experience in the championship before he came home. 
 

This is a complete and utter embarassment. Lampard owns this. The problems have been there since last season. It's not the players, it's the management. Individual mistakes are to blame too, but mistakes are often bred by the gameplan. Silva shouldn't be caught out in the middle alone like that.

With no natural width Reece has clearly been instructed to get forward and offer us that hence he keeps getting caught upfield. 

Taken off Kova wtf? 

Oh great Hudson-Odoi has been awesome this season! What a change

It doesn't matter who is in goal, the defence as a whole is the problem. We allow so many chances on goal, its no wonder we concede so many. Nothing is changing, what the f**k are they being coached to do? 

And to make matters worse, we can't finish our own chances. It's so frustrating.

Why wasn’t Azpi on from the start. Surely unless he becomes an amputee he is better than Alonso?

Just to rub it in they keep playing The Liquidator.

Giroud for Abraham...first change at half time... Azpi for Alonso second..

Great f**king subs, can we at least blame lampard for that?
