Kepa was doing a cock-up ,,, he has a communication problem with Zouma.

Pulisic, Werner, Kai......GOAL

Sorry folks, Mount does not belong in this front 4. 

Frank needs to be very careful in continuing to force Mount into the lineup. 

 

Bore off.

Games are exciting but Lampard’s inability to set up a defence will hinder us as it did last season. 

There is nothing wrong with the defensive set up today, it's the individual errors that is costing us.

Kepa continues to make average defending look awful. Zouma pass was poor but it wasn't dreadful, every keeper in the league would have got to it. 

Lampard shouldn't be playing kepa full stop. He needs to rot in the reserves. 

Agree. Those mistakes rest with Lampard now. He’ll blame individual mistakes, but when it’s the same individuals repeating the same mistakes, we’ll sorry frank, the buck stops with you. 

I feel sorry for Kepa there actually. It wasn't his fault initially and he couldn't go hard in for the challenge otherwise he'd have been sent off.

I'm all for Kepa bashing, but only when he deserves it. That wasn't his fault.

Kepa isn't even good enough as a second choice keeper. He has zero anticipation and panics at anything unexpected. Not a great combination.

It’s like watching Keegan’s Newcastle and Frank has once again shot himself in the foot picking Kepa, at least we can score.

Commentators on the stream I'm watching just said exactly this, we are reminiscent of Keegan's team. 

Zouma didnt even tried to track back, could have save the goal. Werner and Havertz must be thinking that they are still with the German national team.

Trouble is they can't. 18 months and it's got worse. 

The worry for me and likely everyone else is that it's gone on for far too long, he's had a season and a few games to get this defence sorted out and he hasn't.  He clearly is deficient in defensive tactics and this club needs to bring in a world class defensive coach or Mr Lampard will be down the road with all the money that has been spent.

Ziyech warming up?

Been there I fell asleep with one in my hand on our new couch last year. Woke up and thought I'd pissed myself. My wife was suitably impressed. 

My wife doesn't know yet, I think I'll let her find out by herself when football is finished and she ventures into the living room. I should of kept it on the arm bit I couldn't be bothered to keep reaching over that extra 3 inches

Yea I hope Mendy and Silva make the difference, or it’ll be like this all season. 

I’d say bring on Ziyech and try him on the wing and Havertz at the 10. 
 

Haha funny to read the dislike of Mount who’s one of our better and consistent players. He’s going nowhere so get used to it ?

I know it’s been said.

 

but why do we end up being a complete mess when kepa is in goal?

this to me shows that there is a lack of confidence with our players when he is in goal. We seem to panic

Yeah. People are so quick to dismiss one of our own.

We will concede again we need 2 more goals I think

What can he do though if they are all doing it? He can't drop everybody. Rudiger, Tomori, Christensen and Zouma have all been making mistakes, but one of them has to play. With Kepa and Caballero it's a tough choice because they are both capable of howlers (Kepa seems to have more of them than Caballero these days though)

Zouma has been good this season and hasn't made many errors so I'll give him that one

under Frank we've conceded 62 league goals in 43 games

Exactly the first goal off a quick giveaway and the second was just a comedy of errors. 
 

I hate defending these corners

Admit the situation before you can move forward. Mount belong in midfield, not attacking four. Not with the talents you have right now at Chelsea.

It takes a person with DONALD TRUMPS BALLS to defend Kepa

It absolutely was partly his fault. He’s a goalkeeper, he should be taking that ball easily or go with his hands... he’s allowed to use them. He shat it, pure and simple. The pass by Zouma was awful but Kepa should still have been getting it comfortably.

Wow that wasn't good from chilwell.

Hakim is coming!!!
