1) Lampard overall has shown that he is quite the conservative manager when it comes to tactics and style of play. His inexperience and tendencies to play the youth, cover over the fact that his philosophy is actually just pragmatism. It's made it hard to pin down what the identity is - some of it is quite old fashioned (particularly the reliance on crossing), whilst he has been happy to incorporate more modern ideas. This balance has worked at times, but at it's worst it is stale and boring to watch.
2) Pulisic, Werner and (insert striker), are not a good strike force and compliment each other extremely poorly. Whilst it's not an unpopular opinion to say Werner does not belong on the wing - instead I will say that it's near impossible to fit him alongside Pulisic in our team. Neither combine well with each other, and both individually fit in completely different systems.
3) The appointment of Frank and Cech did not strike me as a good thing particularly, but rather of just good old nepotism. Both are highly inexperienced in their roles and are mostly there due to their connections to the club. Sometimes this can work out, but I would prefer had they been given not such high ranking jobs to start with.
Please give me your unpopular opinions!

Here goes.. I’m not fully convinced yet that Mount is good enough to build a top side around, or will be in the future. A good player, definitely. A player you want to have in the squad, definitely. But first name on the team sheet? I’m just not fully convinced..
Other maybe less controversial, I don’t think Lampard quite gets the credit for doing a pretty good job in his first 2.5 years of management. Not incredible but also not awful, his sides have never been on a run of form bad enough to see them slip down the table. Just objectively as a first time manager I think it’s a good achievement. Even if gets sacked in next 12 months he’s built good foundations to build on for himself as manager.

The idea we were lucky as balls throughout most of the 2012 run isn't that unpopular. Among non-Chelsea fans it's a concrete fact.

We were not lucky in the 2nd leg agst Napoli though.

His recent goal scoring record when playing kinda nullifies that one
