One silver lining is hopefully it shuts the f**king bellends up who constantly whine about Mason Mount. 

Hate to tell you, but it didn't work.

bit of both.. some players just didnt look at it and under cooked such as SIlva.. and then with 20 minutes to go.. a bad tactical switch

Did the cfc fight back keep Frank in a job ? and if we are going down that Road who is out there that could pull this team into top 4 playing team 

Christensen undisputed man of the match for me.

It won't. 

I know. 

there is no fun in watching Lampard's Chelsea. No tactical idea, no shape, no vision, what are we playing??

The players walking on the pitch, defence looks totally disconnected every game and concedes an average of 2-3 goals per game,  our " stellar " midfield is over played and over powered every single game, a lot of players in positions where they are wasted.

I supported Frank and wanted him to succeed, but this hat is too big for him, not a Chelsea level manager at the moment. Purely emotional appointment that will set-us back.

I would be happy not to see Alonso on the field again. His fault led to their first and he lost the scorer of the third just as the assist came in. Thanks for the years of service but I think his time with us is now spent.

he serves up such shockers every now and then.. maybe with Chilwell coming in he doesnt want to fight for his place..

We are getting bullied in midfield in almost every match, I genuinely think sorting that out should be our top priority.

Personally I think Jorginho should start. He’s not the strongest or most dominant midfielder but his orchestration of the plays allow us to maintain possession in the meddle when he plays.

He was our best defender today. 

Some people just blatantly have an agenda and have their moans lined up no matter what unfortunately. Christensen was excellent today in a sea of sh*t in the defense. 

Wow putting the blame solely on the players no admission from him about his mistakes Alonso, Sliva no mentioned of Reece James errors

Christensen gets bullied off every striker in the league yet starts most games. I don’t get Frank’s love for him. For someone who played with some outstanding defenders, he is utterly clueless in organising a team defensively. The silver lining in the Liverpool game was the hope that Christensen wouldn’t play another game yet he’s right back in the team. 
 

 

Strange to pick out Christensen today when he was the pick of our defenders.

Christensen is now one of those players that gets blamed even when it’s nothing to do with him.

No, no, no FC!!! The narrative is he’s f**king awful and is at fault for every goal we concede. Did you miss the briefing?!

This first half was horrendous but surely we have to appreciate that this team reacted straight away and not only next Tuesday. 

Coming back from 0-3 in 45 minutes is almost impossible because scoring a goal is twice as hard against a side that's only there to defend, counter and waste time than in an open game. 

The team showed real morale today, if this is what the lowpoints of a season in transition are gonna look like I'll take it.

How can Frank defend his players there?

It is simply not good enough and he picks the team. Most of that defence do not belong at Chelsea. 

Frank deserves credit after turning it around.

A horror story of errors and missed chances in the first.

• The Azpi change made sense to me as Alonso was being targeted.
• Mount deserves credit for that opening goal, a great goal for me.
• CHO looked forlost on the Right again yet improved massively after moving to the left and the 1-2 with Havertz was good to see as was the goal.  First time in a while CHO has looked EPL standard for me.
• James was busy putting in crosses yet his corners were woeful, has he caught Willianitis?  Thankfully Mount has not.
• Werner busy though not outstanding today.
• Havertz played well, one assist and making himself available and putting in challenges.
• Tammy showed he was awake for the third.
• Christensen for me our best defender today.
• Was Kante playing as a CB near the end?

Team showed heart and grit today after looking to have thrown it away in the 1st half, look forward to seeing on MOTD as the stream was in and out.

The Jorginho-Kovacic pairing was working tremendously well, I certainly hope Frank goes with it.

I feel sorry for Kante, but he's not been up to the task for quite a while, objectively speaking.

Got to take that draw after such a shocking first half. 
 

Desperate for Lamps to do well but worried, no defensive structure for over a year now no improvement whatsoever in that regard.

I found that quite telling as well. Happy to call out Alonso but James doesn’t get a peep said about him.

The best moment in the came was all down to the youngest player on the pitch, maybe Bayern know something after all ?

I hardly watched our equaliser, but radio is saying it was a nailed on handball ?

Liverpool exposed our weakest players last week and we shot ourselves in the foot today in style. Alonso joins the Kepa club, just too high risk to field.  
 

All in all a good come back. We’ve got some quality players but as a team, not happening yet. It will. 
 

Werner has to play through the middle. Wasted out wide.

He would have been shipped out weeks ago if many people on this forum had their say.

I’m going to say what everyone is thinking even if they push it out of their heads because of loyalty and optimism....this job has come too early in franks career. 
 

He has attributes to be a great manager but he is still a bit naive and with the money spent and the talent in the squad he is going to need to get results or its not going to last.

We all want him to do well and the story is romantic but if that will translate into reality...we shall see, I hope so but the flaws are clear.
