DNA 107 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Ruben Loftus-Cheek coming back soon enough for them, you'd think Mason Mount's days are numbered; or at least, 'should' be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been overplayed and perhaps mismanaged a bit by Lampard and it was revealed recently that he's been playing with injuries. The first couple of months of the season he was very good (perhaps our player of the season up to a certain point) but he's been poor or hot and cold since then. I rate him but he needs to be managed a little better. I also think he suits certain games better than others and there's also a theory that some of his best performances have come from the left-hand side where he hasn't been used since earlier in the season. In truth, you could say in general most of our youth players this season can blow hot or cold.

In my eyes he is pretty much a forward with an eye for goal but his workrate makes him able to cover the midfield. He really has a great shot.

As we saw that Caballero is just poor, but can't blame him at 38 years of age. If we sell Kepa we need a new keeper and a back up that provides cover and competition.

The Liquidator 259 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 So we spend a small fortune taking FIFA to court to get the transfer ban lifted and then decide to be prudent by keeping our powder dry for the summer? Or so it seems. Plenty of Chelsea scratching their heads n mouthing off against the club, spouting all number of uneducated ideas with the clubs lack of movement in this window. I guess they are fuelled by our manager looking like his world has just caved in as none of his recommendations have found their way to Stamford Bridge, soon followed by his again making public his opinion we are underdogs for top four. Nothing to do with his inability to get the team to play a full 90mins and generate points against teams who are losing to most others. For me I think someone should illuminate the fact nobody of note left the club either and lets face it, the list of players who need to be moved on is far longer than the reasonable amount of players one could expect us to sign in a Winter window. Those players are that poor even Italian clubs wont take them back. ---------------------- Mason Mount starting to feel the Chelsea numptees on his back as his assists and goals have dried up. He is not alone having a turn in form, but the teams Frank is picking carry far too many passengers and I guess it was just a matter of time before they brought the other players down to their level. Kovacic started off the season as our best player, now 25 games in, he cant get a starting place in Franks team, yet Jorginho starts every game no matter how often he is caught in possession and exposed by opponents of not being able to run. Now we have idiots who praised the previous manager for moving Kante forward, expressing a need to replace him with someone who has more attacking flair! The home games we lost to Southampton West Ham and Bournemouth, Jorginho started all 3 games and was pathetic. Frank pulled him off in the first two, yet still picked him against Southampton who ran around him like he was treading in quicksand. I am sure I saw Pierre Hojbjerg have a shaking his pocket moment aimed at Jorginho during the 2nd half. You hear anyone say Jorginho is a “player” I show you someone who knows nothing about football. FUCKING USELESS!!!! and is the major weak point of the front two thirds of our team. Need an example of his poor play? Just watch him in our last game & see how unprotected he leaves the boys behind him & offers nothing going forward both with n without the ball. The Chelsea idiots are the same people pointing fingers at Mount and Kante. Anything to take the spotlight off of Jorginho. Get him out of my club!! Back to Frank, Tammy has gone off the boil, so suck it up and play Giroud. I think the one thing Chelsea fans agree on is Mitchy is very limited so for god sake play Giroud and maybe even play Tammy and the French feller together. Pulisic loss has become more hurtful as the games against defensive side come and go. With luck he will be back soon. Reuben Loftus-Cheek return will good in a attacking view, but we must remember he is as much use as a heart attack defensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True Blue 971 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) I love Frank, adored him as an player and i like him as a manager. However i feel like other managers he has favorites, which is normal i guess not every manager rates the same player. We obviously tried with Michy, he needs 10 clear chances to get a deflected goal. Has no hold up play what so ever and his decision making is also very poor. I like the guy i really do, but he needs to be sold this summer. Didn't impress at Chelsea and didn't impress on his loans. Giroud on the other hand is much more similar to Tammy, big strong and can keep the ball. There is no reason he shouldn't be used in the Cups all the time, and to be cover for Tammy when he is unfit. Hope he does play him now that we didn't sign anyone. Edited February 5, 2020 by True Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero 5,267 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Tammy does have good hold up play. He’s just been in a rut as is 90% of the team. The defensive issues is solely down to Lampard. Kepa had the third most clean sheets last season and our defending of set pieces were solid. Both are a massive issue this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
