A lot of people and even the commentators are getting at Apzilicueta's defending, but it's all on Lampard for me. You don't play a 33 year old who's legs are not what they used to be in an open back 4. Lampard's suicidal defensive set up is the reason why we are struggling defensively.

The commentators are doing everything they can to avoid pointing the finger at Lampard for the way we are set up defensively.

Madueke seems like a real talent. At least something positive.

If he learns how to finish his plays a lot better he will be a star

Feels like he can always make something happen. Has defenders backing off. Excited for what he might bring

The ball went in off trippiers hand. I’ll take the goal, but I thought handball was handball. 

Think it's like any foul where they play advantage in the case of a goal. At 28 minutes they'd probably rather the goal than penalty + Red card anywhere.

60 m for Cucurella when you have hall😱😱

Btw Enzo you need to sprint back and defend

So far, he resembles so many young wingers I have seen over the years. Quick, tricky, but lacking the end product. Most end up staying that way, but I hope for our sake he ends up being one of the rare ones to turn into something more.

Especially when our defensive record was the one beacon of light under Potter.

To think we have to chance to ofload Gallacher this season. Take the money …

he is everywhere and nowhere 🙄

Thank god he's gone after today. Amazing legend of a player. But get him as far away from this club as we can, as a manager 😂

I wouldn't even want him in any role at the club at this point. Hope the rumours of him staying on aren't true.

We saw a glimpse of what he can do in the recent England U-21 game against France when he scored one and got two assists in about 10 minutes.

Will be great when/if he can replicate that at club level

Baby

Felix not playing gives me the impression club has no interest in another loan/purchase: 

how should lamp line the team up if he want to win now? 

Probably something like this 

Felix/Gallagher - Kai - Madueke 

Enzo - Zakaria 

Hall - Koula/azpi-Chalo-Fofana-Ruben

But I can see tons of people complaining about lamp reluctance to play kids if he play this lineup. 

But that is the reality. If you forget about kids and solely focus on winning now. The 1st thing you do is to protect Enzo. Have a dm next to him, Zakaria need to play next to him (why in the heck you want to play Zakaria, but you say you want to win now).

Where to play carney ? You want to win now,bench or as one of the attacker. 

How much do you trust our winger defensively? Not so much, back 5 it is. But we want to play murdyk + Madueke? Sorry double winger is not the best idea for back 5. You can play murdyk more like a 10 but it doesn't suit him so conor/felix has to play. 

This I what I wrote in united thread and every single thing that I wrote here is happening in this game

Hi ho. There's always a Silver lining.

Leeds and Everton going down so far

 

Hall looking better and better... much better than Cucurella for me

Hard to spot it this season. Maybe the Arse collapse and Everton (potentially) going down. And Conte's rant.

When ever Havertz needs to be in the box he is no where in sight.

The Tuchel v Conte handbag fight is another highlight.

Precisely why he’s a redundant footballer. 

Pathetic from enzo .. how can a professional footballer defend like that.. I went after Jorginho for poor defending .. but enzo was extremely poor there for some one wearing a blue shirt I would take them off immediately.
