So no more starts for Odi? And no more starts for Jorginho and Tomori. What is this love affair with pulisic ? He has a couple of runs here and there, but invisible for most of the match. This is like Sarri all over again. Go back to tomori, Jorginho and Odi.
But my concern is the backline, playing Zouma on the left as a CB is nonsense. It never works. Too much experimentation from frank, only making things worse. Zouma is better as a right centerback. Him and AC were terrible.
Kovacic was great today.. the only bright spot . We are currently losing, and I really don’t care if we come back. This is bad.

Burnley is terrible. I think pulisic scored his hat trick against them. Spurs could have put up 10 goals. Poch should have his head examined for not playing Moura especially during the CL final. Mourinho is just doing stuff that Poch wouldn’t do. So Maybe poch really was stubborn.
Manchester United always had good defense. Now they are scoring, good luck with that. This is the end of the line for Pep. Does he need even more money?
Thing I like about Ole. He never waivers and he stick to his guns. Pun. Not yanking players because of 1 or 2 bad runs.. ..something frank needs to learn.

last time Leonardo was the sporting director at the club he fired Kombouare in the winter. I don't expect it but wouldn't be shocked at a repeat with Tuchel

Argument can be made that he has been the best striker for the past 2 years. Too bad his reputation is tainted due to the blackmail scandal he took part in.
This dude has been on fire. With valverde, hazard and modric giving him major service.

Chelsea with a great win over Spurs. Mount and Willian had great games, and the 3-4-3 left Mou frustrated. One thing about frank, he is willing to use different formations based on the opponent. I'm still worried that we don't have a routine starting 11.
Young players are going to be up and down. That's part of it. Let's get some stability here.

I just like them more than the other big clubs, 1) because I like Klopp, and 2) as a Red Sox fan, I figure what's good for Liverpool is probably in some way good for Boston.

I thought that to. It’s where the player is when the ball is played. After looking at further, he was offside. It appeared that he got back on at first. But he didn’t. It’s slight, but the call was right.

Makers(lines) are placed on the shoulder, knee, and foot of the attacker. If any one of the markers is past the defender’s marker then it is offside. So it was the right call based on the rule.

But there is a lot of room for growth. Especailly outside of the six yard box.
>And Tammy at the age of 21 is already one hell of a striker. >
His hold-up play has gotten better, although he does tend to fall down a bit too easily at times when pressured. Extra muscle that comes with age should solve that issue though.
I know this is not a popular opinion, but adding a realistic target like Zaha in January (at a fair price) who can play across the front three would be great for this team. His physicality and creativity would be a huge plus for Chelsea's attack. And his ability to play multiple positions would allow Chelsea's young attacking players to still get their minutes to develop since he wouldn't be stealing one players shine. Tammy could use some healthy competition as well.

He is 21 and this is his first year in the premier league and he already has12 goals. Drogba scored 10 EPL goals in his first season. Kid already has that and then some.
In today’s game, he led the break, dished it to willian, got the ball back and did a spin move for goal. Dude is more than a poacher, and his stand up play is decent at the moment. A poacher just taps goals in. Tammy has out muscled centerbacks and has made some great cuts to score goals.
His final product is going to be something special. He is Our best striker since Fucking Diego Costa. That was 3-4 years ago.
Nope on Zaha (lol). He will be 28, and I don’t really rate him. We need winger and fullback depth, and 1 more striker.
I want Bruno Fernandes or Diogo Jota...or both. Steal every last Portugal player that Wolverhampton has. These mid table teams got some serious foreign talent. Our ban iis up. We coming for all those players and we got mad cash! I’m talking mad cash.

He (along with all the young players) have a lot of work to do before they can be considered the long term solution, though. I do think he needs a backup that Frank rates (he surely doesn't rate Bats, and Giroud is gone). A backup that can push him to be even better.
>Nope on Zaha (lol). He will be 28, and I don’t really rate >him. We need winger and fullback depth, and 1 more striker.
Zaha fills both the winger and striker need. He's also seasoned and in his prime. He would help balance the youth movement. I wouldn't pay more than like 50 mil for him though. Certainly not the 80+ that Palace is rumored to be asking.

Definitely. The young players still have a ways to go, but I think Tammy is ahead of them all. I would say he is the most consistent. I’m still not sure about Mason Mount, don’t care for his attitude. England is just running over with midfield talent. Is he better than Madison, RLC, Cantwill, foden, etc? Don’t know. We shall see.
I just think there are better players out there that we can go after for less money.
One name.
Malcolm! Dude got a bad deal at Barcelona, and needs to be saved from Zenit.
Do you know that Barca offered Malcolm plus 25 mil for Willian a year ago, and Maria said no!

Frank loves/trusts him. Them being together last year at Derby has a lot to do with that. And it's kind of clear that Frank is trying to mold him into Frank v2.
At the moment he lacks vision/passing and creativity. We'll see what happens when RLC is fit though.

Precision on the offsides line, BUT, nowhere near the scrutiny on when we determine the timing of the picture and when we deem the ball left the foot on the pass. That is even more arbitrary. And if the line makes it that close, well you know its well within the error bar for the timing of the pass leaving the passer’s foot.
