Lol. Jorginho partnered with Mount and Barkley to start but frank has to switch to 343 and sacrificed Mount. I’d have dumped Jorginho given he lacks legs to play in a midfield duo. Anyway the other explanation is the 3 CMs ahead of Jorginho in Lampard’s recent CM pecking order are / or were recently injured (Kanté, Kovacic & Gilmour). So he only has one natural CM left and no DMs. For the next game against Norwich he might have to consider James as an emergency DM (decently skilled, mobile and pretty physical). Jorginho no be am.Cellular wrote:Tuned in to watch Chelski. Surprised at how poor they were.green4life wrote:One too many Central midfield injuries proving costly.

Back to the drawing board.
Stopped watching EPL for a minute.
What is Ross Barkley and Jorginho doing on the team? Especially Jorginho... seeming uninterested. And why is Reese starting?
I never liked the backman Zouma.
Shitty performance all around.
Reese started as a RB (Azpilcueta at LB) then switched to RWB (Azpilcueta at RCB) with the formation change in the second half. He’s a young promising full back but he clearly has a way to go to get to the required level. I won’t be too harsh on him because he’s got all the tools you want from a modern RB but my only concern is whether he’s mentally strong to handle CFC expectations. Fans can be fickle and even less patient than trigger happy Roman.
As for back man Zouma, ironically for me he’s the best pure defender on the squad. Ball to feet he’s somewhat challenged but serviceable. What he needs is a reliable top class CB next to him in the mold of a VVD level to keep him organized positionally speaking and he’ll be fine. There’s no hope for Rudy (useless). Christensen is the opposite of Zouma (good on the ball but poor physically and just as poor positionally).
The last thing you didn’t mention was coaching. Good f Lampard wasn’t Lampard his chances of returning next season would’ve been slim to none. The naïveté has been painfully glaring when it rears it’s ugly head. Today is a classic example: ok, the game got away in the first half but all wasn’t lost and his HT adjustment was gradually having the desired effect. What was needed was patience but he makes 2 head scratching subs (Giroud for Pulisic) and CHO for ?? with 15mins plus injury time left which put the team in an unnecessarily 424 shape - likely what you saw - which led to the easiest goal and game over. For Frank to have any chance at success next season, he needs a seasoned assistant by his side.

As long as Lamps sees only English boys in this Chelsea team, he will keep getting English results.

Glad you are well bro! As for Chelsea, buying players is one things, especially players who have never played in the EPL before. However, competing against the top coaches in the world is another thing. Lampard cannot compete against the top coaches in the world.

I agree given your "mad man Mourinho" is no longer a top coach in the world since Lampard swept him home and awaydanfo driver wrote:However, competing against the top coaches in the world is another thing. Lampard cannot compete against the top coaches in the world.
By the way, I also didn't follow Sarri when he lost to Napoli in the finals of Copa Italia or did you 'forget' to call me out then? I don't know since I don't care about Juventus or Sarri

Was this even a debate?
This Conte failure truly dey pain you sha! Imagine coming 4th in a 2 horse race... kai! nno! You twerked up and down the whole place telling us how the mental patient will win Serie A. He spent close to 200 million to fight for 4th position.By the way, I also didn't follow Sarri when he lost to Napoli in the finals of Copa Italia or did you 'forget' to call me out then?

As for your white-privileged God, Lampard, I hope you guys keep him! This is just the beginning.

Solankee hasn't scored in over 39 games. But when Leicester needs to consolidate with a win, he scores 2.

Benji aka Franklin will go all in for Declan “Terry” Rice, in one of the most spectacular failings since Jonathan Stones laced up at the Etihad.

I know the common wisdom is all European teams have racist elements but Chelsea go the extra mile to remind you. Just a couple of weeks ago they had former youth players sue them for racial abuse, even the kids were being called racist names!danfo driver wrote:They are all the same.

Actually, he is a CB who was moved to DM because of his comfort with the ball. The understanding at West Ham was that his long-term place will be as CB.paj wrote:I don't get why we're going for Declan Rice to play him as CD when we need a proper CD...if U wan sell Jorginho and put Rice there I understand..but Rice na DM...

Interestingly, like you, right now, I will only take him as a DM at Chelsea. Although he is very talented and could one day become a top CB he is not the CB to take Chelsea to the next level. If Chelsea were going to buy 2 CBs--one like Koulibaly, then I will bring Rice because he doesnt have to be the man now and can develop in the next 2-3 years.paj wrote:OH...Gracias..I didn't know that..so..would U take him @ Chelsea?danfo driver wrote:Actually, he is a CB who was moved to DM because of his comfort with the ball.

As a DM, I'd rather Ndidi or Kante than him.
