Goal scoring midfielders we lack until RLC gets fit (and injured again)
Nice to read something level headed this afternoon Bridge.
The scoreline, whilst bad, wasn't a fair reflection of a game that changed in the space of 90, 2nd half seconds and it wasn't until then that Utd looked comfortable.
Sadly I have to agree about Dave, he's been a great player for us but getting found out regularly now. On the positive note I don't think we need to buy to replace him - I think Reece James is the star of all our youth and destined for big things, of all our youth he's the one I have most confidence in, in making a big name for him self, I see him as a possible future captain.
Time now for Frank to take stock and look forward to next week!
A lot more to look forward to than fear in my opinion.

We're are Chelsea fans JFDI, the past, present and future smile on us for that reason alone!
Ok so we lost 4 nil but, we aren't bottom AND we are only three points off the top. Not sure what the problem is 🙂

I will see you both at Wembley at some stage.
These other fans keep writing us of time after time
it gets tiresome but funny .
They keep telling us we are finished, we will struggle etc etc ( yawn) and what happens we just keep winning trophy after trophy.
God it must frustrate the hell out of them.
How can we do it , time after time
But no matter how good they are, they cannot win a one legged bum kicking contest , when they have both legs
You played too high a line with no plan and were far too slow to react in the transitions.
Thought Barkley played well.
Kneeash you Sir are absolutely correct.
But we will I have no doubt do the same as you.
We will keep playing it and learning all the time, will be bad results but in the end we will have the system worked out and will win things with it.
Frank may need as you have done to buy 2 or 3 players to play the system but it will work and we really do have some talent coming through as well.
I have no worries what so ever.
Lampard was always a smart player, he will become a very smart manager, I have absolutely no doubt about that
Good article BOD, I am still looking forward to this season. Compared to the bad old days of the Seventies and early Eighties this is nothing to get depressed about.
Tough fixture to start the season with. Score did not really reflect the total run-of-play, but UTD deserved win.
Chelsea probably are looking at third place in PL this season, at best.
OP talking about replacing/adding about 5 players, all expected to be top class in their position. Might take more than one window.

I did not explain myself very well. You are correct I doubt we cold buy 4 or 5 players in January but I do believe 3 can be purchased and other 1 or 2 next summer
When I mentioned Willian and Pedro being sold I was completely forgetting about Hudson Odoi, so that would solve that issue, he's contract should be signed very soon.
But as stated I am really not worried about this at all.
The side has needed breaking up and starting again for a long time.
We did not refresh the squad when we should have done

He showed for the ball all day and used it well. He wasn't brilliant but he showed signs he could do well under lampard.
Abraham was the biggest problem from the attacking perspective.
