the title this season, but that's ok if it's part of his development to becoming a top manager at Chelsea. I think we can accept that.
He is doing a lot of things right already, but I feel he made a mistake not starting Giroud instead of Tammy agst Spurs, and his match substitutions were a bit strange. I think we had more chance to beat Spurs with Giroud on the pitch for the best part of 90 minutes.
Also, the WBA game earlier in the season. For me, having made really good half time substitutions to turn the game around, he then got carried away with a crazy tactical move that sucked all the attacking momentum from the team.
So it's possible that Frank has cost us 4 points in those two games. As the season progresses there maybe a few more such instances, but for me that is part and parcel of having a younger and less experienced manager in charge.
Frank might be a reason why we don't win

It's pretty obvious to me is that Werner is the most natural finisher of he three strikers. I hope we get see a run of games with Pulisic Werner and Ziyech/CHO up front.
I think if Pulisic can strike up a relationship with Werner then the two will be able to interchange and their combined pace should cause teams real problems.

Giroud's contributions shouldn't be overlooked and he's made me re-think my opinion of him from 12 months ago but I still personally don't think he's as effective when he starts games.
Essentially though, they're both different players who both bring different things to the party.
I think had it been me, I'd have swapped then around the half hour mark to change things round and give the $purs defence something else to think about but I still find it ludicrous to claim that we'd have been 2-0 up if Giroud had been on the pitch when James put his crosses in!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, I agree. Nobody knowsfor sure.
I am however frustrated that as a team we are not capitalising enough I'd RJs crosses. He is such a threat with his delivery and we must start putting more of his crosses in the net.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Werner needs to be on the end of these surely...starts attacks a tad deep at times for me still
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's because he isn't playing as a 9,Tammy is.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
yeah...look how that's going

It doesn't matter how many goals Tammy scores, there are those out there that are determined he's not good enough!

To be fair...his figures are better tahn he seems to be doing...I am doing him a disservice...but he just doesn't instill enough confidence in my is all
Harping back to yesterday's conversation...the chances he's missing are glaring at times...(mind you Werner could be in that list too...lets see how he does tonight...assuming he's selected

Agree Brum. The only problem I had is that Sunday was quite evidently a giroud game. There were several last year that I thought were too and we always ended up dropping points in those games. But it’s done now, wasn’t the worst result in the world and I think showed up spurs and showed they’re not as good as people are making out
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don’t think Spurs have as much variety and potential to their game as us
