LOL wtf.. they are panicking at Chelsea already? or is it just the media?

I definitely think they aren't a 90 min team at the moment.. if it's Lampards tactics or the players aren't fully fit.. they play well for the first portions of the game.. then fall off quite hard

They need a 20+ goal a season striker.. IDK if Giroud can still do that.. They would have finished the two league games in the first half if they did

It�s the media.

I�m really excited.

In reality is there anything between Chelsea and Leicester? You�d have to know nothing about football to think we�re ahead of those teams now.

We just had a kid whose been at Chelsea since he was 8 to score and basically lead that side yesterday.

My only grumble yesterday was Willian. Who is a p.ussy.

Letting a kid grab the ball of him as soon as he botched a corner.

Zouma has reassured me with his last 2 games.

Azpi is a long standing issue.

But for now, realistically, it�s not a competitive Chelsea team. But most Chelsea fans have wanted these youngsters to play. Top 6/7/8 and then augment it with genuine world class when we�re back in the market.

Absolute free hit of a season. Media will gun for Chelsea because they always do.

Even last week they were whinging about Chelsea having an extra day of recovery than Liverpool. F.uck right off. Chelsea always have scouse media shook

Football journos love Lampard. He's pretty talkative and an English manager. They won't give him the same stick a foreign manager would.

If they criticise Chelsea it will be because they are a bit poo now.

Imagine the stick a young foreign manager would get if they was in Lamps boots. Even Chelsea fans would have their pitchforks out.

That was literally Andre Vilas Boas.

He was managing Chelsea at 31 or whatever. Literally the same age as Frank managing Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba, and John Terry.

Got absolutely brutalized in England by journos, Chelsea players, and Chelsea fans.

Despite being that young, managing a pretty big club, and coming off a quadruple with Europa League, undefeated in Portugal, and winning Uefa manager of the year over the likes of Ferguson, Guardiola etc.

Crazy innit?

[BodiesInFlight]

Yeah AVB copped it hard. They even went as far to call him autistic

I guess the squatting on the sidelines didn't help.

Just wait until Ruben and Callum return. It's going to be fireworks.

Reece James too. Because he should make the right defensively sound.

I'm not too fussed about the results though.

I'm concerned about Tammy because I absolutely 100% know he can play better than he's shown for us so far.

But that 1st half press against Leicester? Now see the subs of CHO for Pulisic, RLC for Mount, Kovacic for Jorginho.... that press would continue into the 2nd half and Leicester have zero room to breathe.

Chelsea's only problem right now is fatigue. Once the front 4 get tired, we lose the entire cutting edge.

And Frank doesn't like to sub Mount, even if he's tired but with RLC around, there's really no excuse not to.

With reliable substitutions. Even if CHO became starter. Pedro as a sub is a nightmare too.

2-3 seasons. We'll be right back there, alternating PL titles seasons with a Manc club.

Lampard is a bum and will be fired within 18 months you heard it here first.

[Sparked_26]

Think the passing was Chelsea’s issue yesterday and mainly the passing of 3 of the back 4.

That said, everyone knows I rate Brenda.

He’s a bellend but he is one of the best managers in the league. And he’s had that team for 8 months now - they pressed the ball more intelligently than we did. And essentially that is how ALL good teams play. They basically have slight variations of exactly the same thing.

We did that ******ed Liverpool press for 30 minutes and got tired. It’s hard to do that but eventually they’ll get fitter and be able to rotate a lot of that midfield other than Kante.

How you view him is exactly what I hope the board doesn't knee jerk react with, come november/ december.

[Sparked_26]

We�re not gonna go down are we?

We could defo put Tomori, James, Mount, RLC, CHO, and Tammy in the team week in and week out and finish top 9.

RLC is established but the others will only be proper premier league players after 20 plus games.

In alternate universe Josh McEachran is a Chelsea talisman. He never got the games, poor loans. Ended up
Playing with slower witted players in a physical league and now he�s a free agent.

It�s about talent but it�s just as much about opportunity.

This is our only season to do this.

Next season we buy Sancho and a few others. Write that on a post it and store it in your anus.

[F l i c k e r]

Sancho is impossible.

City have a buy back clause on him.

Any club that makes an offer Dortmund accept.

City can match it and get him back.

Pretty much any English club lines up a bid of 100m plus. He's going back to City with Sane going to Bayern. Most likely.
