I watched the match. Lampard approach to game is rubbing on our results and the way the team play. Don’t be surprise Kepa is not that bad but his consistent changing of CB partners is a weakness to any goalkeeper. See how Arteta organize arsenal to play, he already has his winning team and tactics and he is building on that.

I understand you, but if there's anything to blame lampard, it's not ystdys match. You calling for lampard sack cos of ystdy match is uncalled for

How many times would Lampard see that Kante - Kovacic pivot doesn’t work. These two can’t cover the back 4, & can’t even link defense and attack together. Individually they’re ok but playing together is a no no. Alonso brainfart give away ball could’ve been intercepted if Kante was sitting alone at Dm for that first goal. Kante back to DM 2ndhalf provided us more shield.

Against a team like Westbrom with probably 10 of their players packing the bus, I don’t need 2 DMs with no attack sense to be recycling back-side way passes, what a waste.

My fault with Lampard yesterday.

I won't talk about this anymore. The fact that I like Lampard doesn't mean we will close our eyes to some things. Alonso had no business starting that game. Silva and Christensen were our CBs yesterday, what will be our CB pairing against Tottenham? Mount is good as a midfielder. Is he good as a winger? How long will we keep blaming individual errors? Against Brighton, we had fitness issues. Against Liverpool, we played deep. West Brom is not the biggest of teams yet they found a way to expose us.
The team will get better once the new boys start playing. It doesn't mean I won't talk about what I'm seeing now.

Segedinho:

They goals were avoidable mistakes

Were defenders were giving opponent striker gift of goals

The 1st n 2nd were gifts.

The 3rd was a Set piece.


In all caba was extremely poor,an average keeper would save one of the goal from d mistake..


U can get d highlights from YouTube though

I wonder why Lampard left Zouma and Chillwell out of the squad. Actions like that deserves to be explained. Chelsea's problem has always been a goalie, centre back and left back. So, any selection that leaves those positions weak must beg a lot of questions.

Caballero is just a clown; criticising him is just a waste of energy.

Thiago Silva made a costly error. I don't want to criticize Christensen for not covering him up, but a fast Zouma would have got the sliding tackle spot on. He saved Christensen's blushes with a last ditch tackle against Palace last season when the former made a costly error. Even Tomori might have salvaged the situation.

Fact is, Silva needs to be paired with a fast and aggressive centre back which Zouma is just like he had Presnel Kimbempe at PSG.

Lastly, the choice of fielding Abraham because he scored and assisted against Barnsley. If tactics is anything to go by, ask yourself this: Playing against the baggies who you know would lie very deep, whom would you choose between Giroud and Abraham to have a greater impact? My money is on Giroud because that is one of his strengths. His aerial strength gives him an advantage in this kind of matches, and his link up play would have been helpful.

Nezzjnr:
So Maguire has scored more goals than Werner

magwaya's goal was recorded as own-goal by Dunk

Thank you my brother. I mean why play Kovacic Kante together against west Brom. Why not play either of them, then play Barkley and Havertz as 8s. Why play warner in 4231 formation knowing that he is a striker that will strive well in 433.

So true, I said this to myself as well. Giroud links up better, and he also has that aerial prowess. Pace shouldn't be a problem against a team that defends deep.
Reminds me of how Lampard started Giroud against a high line playing team like Man City, but when Abraham came in, we started exploiting the high line better cos of Abraham's movement.
I also expected we would start with a 4-3-3, cos like some have said, playing Kova and Kante against the Baggies was unnecessary.

Anyways sha Lamps is the boss for a reason, but he's definitely showing he's inexperienced. However, those calling for his head should tarry and calm down.

Lampard keep experimenting when it is obvious we have the right players to win games for us according to the opponent. West Brom match is a game you need Giroud in 4123/433 formation. With Giroud warner would’ve scored by now. Barkley know how to drive the ball forward, Kovacic Kante pairing was not needed yesterday.

All three goals were individual mistakes and not tactical errors. He's selections was spot on for the game and he made effective changes at the right times to salvage a point. I am critical of Lampard and his selections and tactics but to blame him for yesterday is really ridiculous

airmark:


VAR's wins.

Happy Sunday AirLLLmark

Segedinho:


The most important thing is d way we conceded d goals.
It wasn't based on the play but from individuals.

This would have ruin the game totally.

But we scored 3 beautiful goals in 45 mins despite the head down, despite their crowded defence.


Blaming lampard is just careless.

Havertz plays a very good role in creating spaces

On to Totham

His selection was not spot on mr. I mean why start kova Kante together against west Brom, why play warner in 4231 formation. Why pair weak Christensen with old sylva, you have Zouma who can cover well for sylva in terms of speed and strength. Lampard experiment too much. His sentimental mind is affecting his selection and tactics.

I don't know how some of you watch games. Thiago made a mistake and somehow Christensen gets the blame because "he's not fast enough." I don't see you not blaming James for not covering for Alonso's mistake for the first goal.

It's one thing you don't like a player but some criticisms are just stupid to say the least. Christensen had a good game and paired very well with Thiago in the whole game. Apart from the mistake from Thiago which somehow Christensen gets blamed for, both of them looked organized and played well alongside each other

And for your last point,the selection of Abraham was not out of place. He made decent runs and created spaces in the first half. Even missed two well created chances in the first half. I don't know how anybody that watched that game will blame the loss on Frank's selections. Alonso was the only Chelsea player that had a bad game and was culpable of two goals and that was it

Please I would like to know their ideal formation for the game

Like that west Brom game yesterday. He was supposed to play 4123/433 formation. Kante to sit for Havertz and Barkley.

Lampard selection was bad bro, mostly in that midfield, there was no need for kova Kante pairing against west Brom. His selection is hiding Warner’s talent and goal scoring prowess.

I just hope we are able to beat tottenham because they have been gathering momentum lately while we are still fumbling.

Anything to justify a Morata 2.0 for misfiring

I have been singing this before the season started.

Its not just line up for Lampard but his tactics and approach to games, his selection too.

What tactics and line up will u adopt or approve

Lampard should know that Chelsea is not derby , where he can just wake up and use any player wey come his mind..

How can we go into the game, leaving the only pure winger we have in odoi on the bench. When others are injured, second half just showed say na team selection follow make us play this rubbish..

Nwoke a muru anya a oo. Maka na oraruo ura atoro battery motor ya oo

Segedinho:

What tactics and line up will u adopt or approve

Bro each game is approached according to opponent. Like that yesterday, there was no need for kova Kante since you are playing west Brom and no need for 4231 formation against west Brom. Even with the individual errors we would’ve won if Lampard did his selection and formation right.

There is a big difference bw an anticipated error and an avoidable error.


If Zouma/Tomori doesn't anticipate such a mistake,how would u expect them to over run dat kinda ball.



Chris/Silva were ok as the keeper weren't threatened.


Lampard has no blame at all as he put performed WB with his tactics and line up.

U cant blame him on some avoidable mistakes like xterday...


Chiwelll was not in d bench for some reasons wch could b fitness.


WB isn't a threat to be defining d kinda defence to play with.

Alonso played poorly and was sub.

Alonso was bright vs Liverpool.

I dont see any problem with the line up vs W/B to be frank cos he rightfully subs the people that weren't paying well....

TBH

Abi na. I wonder why them Dey argue the obvious. Actually I don’t have issue with him starting either Mount or odoi but playing kova Kante against west Brom was disappointing from Lampard. Lampard is a sentimental coach, he is verY quick to play Abraham and Mount and was even saying Loftus cheek can play 10 when we all know the guy is as slow as tortoise and can’t even spot runs.

Abraham earned his spot after d carabo's match.

When Giroud came on ,what was his contribution

If you really watch d match without a prior biased motives,you would know already that the games was Chelsea's right from d beginning until d mistakes.

The formation was not shaky at all,kante was just off form cos dis is dsame formation he has been using and kante would be seen...


Just say u hate lampard and You want him out.

We would understand not all these attacks

From captain to Arteta and experimental claims...

Let me ask you this.were kante n kova dominated or rather outplayed.

U want to bank on Barkley and later blame havertz for not performing in d 8 role

Hate Lampard? far from that. Kante sitting for Barkley/Mount Havertz would’ve been the best selection yesterday. Dominating play with no penetration is useless, against west Brom side way passes are not needed, rather intelligent progression of the ball to the opponent’s box 18. If he start Abraham because he impressed against Barnsley Azpilicueta played well too why didn’t Lampard start him.

You and I know that mount has been much better than odoi in d wing until exterday.

D pic only shows u a counter wch was fruitless.

Alonso had a very poor game and was subbed.


They scored from gifts and no thanks to caballero

I wonder what you guys are complaining for.

We had a very good game despite kante was off.

Kante played dsame agnst Liverpool and was seen all over.....


Lampard had no blame xterday TBF

he played very well,despite they sitting too deep,we scored 3 good goals,created some good chances..

What do u really want from Lampard

He should be blamed when he goofs but he brought back a team 3 down from mistakes to score 3 good goals in 45mins after he saw were d lapses were.


What poor defending did Chris n Silva did xterday

Were kante and kovacic dominated in d mid
