Anyone else think we should have started with the 11 that started v liverpool?
Bottle. Can only come down to nerves and confidence.
You’ve played a game of football right, and you feel the confidence fly out of team.
Whether its tactical, and they didnt know how to adapt, but suddenly they looked nervous.
Now its looking like they desperate to get the win.
But i like what Frank is doing, think it will all be fine in the end.
Hey, one year you had a team of Defending Champions finish 10th.
10th.
You’ll be fine

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't think it is fitness at all.
Firstly corners and free kicks, I an totally lost as to why Lamps would want to set us up zonal.
We have tried that times before and it does not work.
Horrible system. I hope he stops that very soon.
Then we come to defenders, for some reason they start of ok, and then seem to lose total concentration, not watching their runners, not following players in,
And yet again I point the finger at Dave again, another defensive mistake that has cost us another goal, he was not looking round and totally losing the player, never even got a foot off the floor.
I tell you now he and said it time and again, he is on the same downward spiral as Ivanovic..
The midfield must also take some blame, they ned to cover better.
But it is concentration and allowing teams back in to games.
We have enough older heads in the side to know how to slow a game down till we find our feet again, but they are not doing it

Fitness could be it, which is understable considering the midweek game, and the players have to get used to being able to play high tempo consistently every match which only Liverpool, City and to a slightly lesser extent spurs have been doing for a few years now. That said, we looked fitter over 120 mins vs Liverpool, and with our injuries we don't really have that much room to rotate with the exception of perhaps alonso playing instead of Emerson

At 32 Pedro is young.
Bridge
Is Dave not our go to guy?
He will make mistakes.
But, he is our guy
Stringer we will be fine when we get replacements back from injury and can bring Odoi on in stead of Willian and Rudiger in for Zouma or RLC in for Kovacic. Dont think well finish 10th but any Chelsea fans calling for Lampards dismissal after these 3 games should be banned from even being allowed to use the word Chelsea in their vocabulary.
We are playing good football but not getting results. Now all the fans who have been calling for youth to come in have their wish but im afraid its not going as theyd hoped Mount is doing fine but Abraham will never be good enough for this team. If all that counts is results then get Mourinho back.

theblubell, Dave is no longer in my opinion how go to guy, yes player will make mistakes but Dave has been making them for well over 2 seasons now and and this one as well, I know a lot on here feel the same.
He is badly declining. He should also not be Captain, I do not think he is vocal enough.
Vava I do think anyone has called for Lamps head yet.
I think the younger players do need help from older one's in how to control a game but the older one's are not doing that.
And we have held on to players too long yet again, instead of freshening the side up.
William has been a great servant but should have been sold a long time back. Christensen's concentration is awful, he is losing players time and time again.Pedro has played well last 2 games but you know he will fade badly this season
Yet again our middle was wide open again in the 2nd half.
Yes thing will get better in time, but they can be even better if we address the issues we have now.
Some of these players should not be in the first 11 to start.
sorry meant to put OUR go to
bridge how do we address the problems you mention as we have no other players available. Pedro can be saved when Odoi is back but we only have Pulisic on the left, so maybe use Emersen furthr forward with Alonso behind him. When reece is fit he can come in for azpi, and i do really think the way we are starting there are goals to be had for Michys type of play.
It isn't down to fitness. It's a lack of quality.
Without Hazard you've got a pretty average group of players really.
