If Auba finds his spark that feels pretty doable. | ||

I know WBA isn't the most solid and Leeds has scored a lot but 0-4 in 40 mins isn't normal. 4 of the goals Leeds scored were sumptuous. The 5th was one of the funniest own goals I've seen. Damn Leeds are good to watch | ||

Yeah his tactics of crossing is baffling however there is some good things he has done, when he gets them at it at least. Defensively we are looking very solid and that is good, our fullbacks look so so dangerous going forward and while it is annoying their crosses are normally on the point. Set pieces defensively and offensively we are looking the best in the league as well and look back to our old selves being super dangerous from them. The biggest issue is consistency and seems lack of plan b from Frank so far, he is learning, and he is trying but him and Ole are literally the same, they blow hot and cold too much. We have so far primarily looked good against bad teams. So many were raving about lamp since moving mount to midfield, kante to DM and playing 4-3-3. Performances certainly looked more fluid, but objectively we were against weak teams. Against better quality teams, we'd often look average. Lamp and ole are the same. Both are not managers of the club due to merit. Both are also not good enough, and don't look to be good enough in the future. | ||

I think there's plenty to salvage if Auba finds his scoring shoes again and the defence doesn't fall apart. | ||

Just because Arsenal got a lucky win against Brighton doesnt change anything at all. The only thing that has changed is that at least they dont have relegation worries. | ||

Yeah i agree basically, i do have too much of a soft spot for Lampard though and think he is "Bigger" for the club than Ole is for Yanited but it probably will spell the end of him if we do not get champs league and look good by end of this season. I don't get why 4-2-3-1 isnt our go to formation. Remould Mount to be a runner alongside Kante or Mount and Kai fight for the 10 position with Kova/Kante or Rice/Kante as the sitting two. Then with 4-2-3-1 we have 2 wingers, a striker and a 10 far up the pitch to help us break teams down as well as attacking fullbacks. With the recent covid problems, Chelsea have 18 days off now to recuperate i think so hopefully we can get back to decent form. | ||

Doesn't really mean anything if you ask me, 1st to 9th place is only 7 points and you have Villa and City with 2 less games played. If win their 2 games for example they would go just 1 point behind Liverpool. This season has been wonky so far and the table is still too close to call. Maybe in Jan/Feb we will start to see some teams pulling away. | ||

Jorginho is not suited at all, and Kova/Kante occupies the same spot. We need a big DM, and Rice would probably work. Up ahead, Kai will be free to do his thing. Or you can play Ziyech there too and put Cho on RW. Then there's the issue of mount. He has shown over and over that he is not a 10. He can't carry the ball well, and doesn't show killer vision/passes often. Which means you can only play him in CM, which unless it's a midfield 3, there's really no spot. Unlike most fans, I think he is an overrated player. Loads of effort and energy, but not blessed with talent. Against good oppositions, you hardly see him contributing to control the midfield. I'd dare say how we view mount currently is the same as lamps. We badly want them to succeed because they bleed blue, but take away all bias and there's actually nothing special. | ||
