Christ I mentioned bringing on Jourinho for the second half last night to add some creativity, and the Lampard Gestapo on here went mental...it's clear it's not working and change needs to happen...whether that ne players, system or managers...

Can't wait to see you vanish off the forum when we win again.

Seconded. What is it with this guy's use of "Gestapo", yesterday there was calling Lampard "Führer". It's too stupidly insensitive for words. 

I didn’t see last nights game but the board tells the tale of the tape.

The worrying thing is there doesn’t seem to be an alternative to a FL team set up in FL’s head at the minute - big man up front and width at all costs ? Which is fine when all the width is available and functioning, but when it ain’t - what’s plan B ? It’s evident that just giving a player a bib that says ‘winger’ or ‘centre forward’ doesn’t necessarily make him so.

Personally been advocating going 3 at the back with the recent run of results and performances.  with James, Chilwell, Azpi and Alonso giving the width in this particular moment because currently our team formation/selection is soooo predictable and opposition managers must be praying that Havertz gets picked because, frankly, he’s been appalling - the number of under hit passes v Everton were embarrassing for a professional footballer - it’s very near to playing with only 10 v 11.

I’m beginning to wonder if we miss that ‘Chelsea man’ type of player in the team ?  - the sort who love the club, genuinely kiss the badge and would run through plate glass for the cause - aka Terry, Lampard,Azpi ? Silva it isn’t.

Maybe Azpi offers more than just the game he plays ? I think we need a leader on the pitch firing a few f**ks into people, leading by example and reminding them what it means to be playing for Chelsea imo.

Someone told me last night that Havertz and Werner were Angela Merkel’s and the German nations revenge for Brexit -  I would have laughed if it wasn’t so ridiculously close to being true !!

He's made a few sly comments like that, almost as if he's loving the fact that Lampard is losing games now. Strangely, I've never seen this guy post before until after that defeat against Everton, now he's back again. Same with many others, same old story, as soon as we lose these people come out of the woodwork. 

I'm not saying you have to be a regular here, but make it a bit less obvious please...

The Azpi situation is weird, suspect something happening outside the game.

Mount is normally the one to run through the plate glass, thought he tried that at Everton and didn't come off and yesterday was a game too many too close together. 

Mount should have recovered by the time we face WHU yet Frank has some decisions to make on personnel and systems, stick or twist to get us moving forwards again.

A Software Engineer is a very lazy job, luckily (or unluckily for me) I have to go to my office still, even during COVID. So, I've never really got the benefits, people who stay at home though, do usually become quite lazy and easily distracted. 

I thought software engineers normally had remote access to systems so they could often work from home.

I always liked going in too many distractions at home ?

Because he is "one of the best players in the squad"

I know this because someone googled some pictures from the internet that proved it.

It's sly xenophobia creeping in since the German players arrived - they're trying not be too obvious about it.

My Teutonic inference of the words 'Gestapo' and 'Fuhrer'?

Clearly not a doctor of language.

It's more usual to see xenophobes resorting to insults at any time of year.

No I'm the one who associated your choice of language with xenophobic behaviour. If you're going to threaten me 'pal' at least get it right.

Hope so, everyone has their off day and we can all say stupid sh*t in the heat of the moment. My gifs probably didn't help. Having said all that the should be a rule on here: anyone  who has a temper tantrum should be wound up even more. It teaches a valuable lesson in humility. I've seen a few arguments on here but everyone always apologises after they have calmed down and sobered up. I think a bit of a piss take and let them stew in embarrassment is punishment enough.

For most people probably, for me...no ?

Just Google Tueton, I'd never heard of it before 

a member of a people who lived in Jutland in the 4th century BC and fought the Romans in France in the 2nd century BC.

DEROGATORY

a German.

I'm guessing we have been talking about the latter of the two definitions
