After stopping a poor run of form with one of if not our best performance of the season against spurs we need to put a few results together and pull away from 5th. Alot of questions going into the game, do we stick with 5 at the back, if not who drops out at the back, where doesn't Mount play if we do change formation to get the best from him, can the rest of the squad chip in with some goals and get a result against a pretty good in form saints team. I'll go for a nervy 2-1

Yep, still made the change too late, Southampton could sit on their lead & counter attack.
No worries, he'll learn from it.

The transfer window can't open soon enough

ffs, if they didn't time waste so much they'd be about 4 up by now. Explain this one away Frank!

Poor performance, lack of creativity and Abraham's touch was particularly poor today. Was expecting a win but the loss doesn't completely surprise me with our inconsistency and poor home form

Respect to Lampard for identifying that tactical error & addressing it immediately, not waiting till 60-70th minute like many other managers would've

Lol what? Franks tactics were woeful today. Got it all wrong

We really need to learn how to play games where we're given time with the ball. All we do is move the ball, bump up the possession stats, we find it very hard to move the opposition out of their shape. Guardiola would pull his hair out (if he had any) managing us the past 18 months

We haven’t created anything. I’d swap one of the 3 central defenders for Mount to go back to a 4-3-3, and then swap CHO for Pulisic who might actually be able to pass the ball to a Chelsea player.

This seemed the best option...which Frank did...made no difference - we were shat awful inconsistent

LOL - true players did just play poorly, but the way Lampard started the game was still wrong, and his change at H/T was still correct (albeit too late).

Agree sheriff but still square pegs round holes etc It has been evident to all 42,000 in that ground yesterday that Azpilicueta shouldn’t be rwb.
