I don’t think it’s about Frank Lampard only. It really doesn’t matter who plays, they just haven’t got it in them to press and play with the energy shown by other teams. Maybe Grank can’t motivate them.

We better change our formation or use Werner as our striker. He's dead there, all we can see from him is his speed.

He has no confidence, he needs to smell the goals, he needs that boost of confidence in his goals.

If He Keeps The Same 11, Then He Should Put Werner Up Next To Tammy, Pulisic On The Left, Mount On The Left And Leave Kanye And Kova Sitting Just Infront Of Silva And Zouma

We look slow and sluggish, not often you see Reece being owned, Werner feeding off mere scraps, Kante being crowded by young fast legs.......hmmmmmmm

 

Don't worry, Kante is "protecting" the backline.

I just don't know what is Kovacic doing, every time he starts the game he's irrelevant and a total non-factor for us, combined with Mount not being capable of putting up a good corner kick we have 0 creativity in the midfield.

Lampard is getting to the point where he's got to find a way or it's going to escalate into an all huge collapse.

Can't understand Lampard's obsession with Werner on the wing.  It doesn't work.

Lol, Lampards job is literally to make these guys play well

Kante is having a nightmare, two challenges could have been yellow cards and one conceded the freekick for the goal.

James clumsy too give away the penalty is looked like he clipped Tierney's foot accidentally.

Arsenal pushing quickly on to our full backs is limiting our game going forwards.

Tammy and Werner playing poorly.

One bright spark is Pulisic.

 

 

Kante stopped a certain goal in the one on one with Martinelli.

So many names I’ve never seen before, we must be losing 

Agree. As soon as we lose dozens of people show up with their doomsday predictions. It's pathetic. 

At 1-0 we could've gone with 3 at the back and brought on Azpi to match Arsenal and help James out on the Right don't think that's a good idea at 2-0 down. 

Maybe a shift to 4-2-3-1 with Kai behind the striker.

This is one of the worst Arsenal team in the last 20 years minimum... They don't even have Aubameyang, but that's fine Everton didn't have James, overall they look so pathetic and yet they have a 2:0 at half time...

It's beyond all logic.

We've been here before. Remember how we totally capitulated against Everton last season when they were on a terrible run and had Duncan Ferguson in charge.

The thing is, it does, he's just not being used properly.

yeah he should be on the bench, f**king terrible.

I totally agree with you about Lampard - it’s becoming seriously concerning how poor we’re playing of late and his inability to get the best out of the players.

 

Agree, what a miserable way to be spending Boxing Day this is!

That is why I have turned off. I'm sick of getting so stressed about football, it's just not worth it.

What a crock of sh*t, sort it out Frank. 2-0 down to this shower of dribble.

I will be fuming if we keep these same 11 players on for the beginning of the second half. We have to change the way this game is going NOW.

Come on Chelsea - play for the shirt. Turn this around second 45 and you'll all be Legends!

Can everyone please calm down? There is nothing Lampard can do to save that free-kick or make Reece not trip that Arsenal player. Lampard can be blamed for a lot of things but the result today isn't really due to his bad management and rather individual errors and luck. 

I get what you mean but even if we didn’t concede those fouls and went half time at 0-0 it still would have been a poor performance with not much created and the team lacking really any direction moving forward.

2-0 could spark Frank to go full out and change players at half time.

He did yet made a lot of other mistakes.

I don't know how boxing day is in England, I am French but seems magnificent. Even tho, this day is important to my eyes. Losing in boxing day against this Arsenal is awful ?. 

Well, the players have to wake up. Lampard has to fix it asap.

Now time for Frank to turn it around.

We're 2-0 down Coco... To this team, and with the way we finish, we aren't getting back in this. Game is set and done, and either way, there's no excuse, you shouldn't be getting outplayed like that.

Put CHO on the wing at least he's a real natural winger. Pulisic and CHO can turn the game around.

Pulisic is wasted on the right, bring CHO on just to have Pulisic more effective

This is what frank should do. Bench Timo.  But frank won't do that. Timo is treated like Messi/Ronaldo around here. Unbenchable.
