This is bad but.....it is West Brom they are playing so all hope is not lost

Agent Coulson

£90m bid for Rice incoming from Frank Lampard's Chelsea.

This is it

That's something else

DrumSteve

Enjoying this.

Widdensushi

Can't blame kepa

.G.

Who knew spending £200m on attackers wouldn't fix a defence!

Agent Coulson

Frank Lampard just like Ole is in over his head at a big club.

wanderer100

Watch Chelsea splash another 100million next week now

Agent Coulson

Kepa saying to himself well I can't be blamed for that muck defending.

Osmosis Jones

In their last like 5 games Chelsea have given braces to David McGoldrick and Callum Robinson. Keeping the Irish dreams alive.

marklazarcovic

Frankie sacked at HT ,poch brought in

Tipsy McSwagger

Shane Long to round it out in 2 weeks time

(or preferably Obafemi)

Man with broke phone

I thought united were bad today, this is horrible for Frank. Chelsea have had better chances but I feel West Brom could end up winning this by 7. What a weird game.

Utopia Parkway

Not sure what I'm most surprised by? The scoreline or the Chelsea kit.

I was wondering why you would continue to do something you thought was sad.......

Just quickly though,

If you only do it when Utd concede and as you say ‘the attention and reaction it gets is amusing entertaining and ironic’ you do realise that’s another way of saying I do it to wind up Man Utd fans.

It's not.

As I've mentioned, the reason I do it is as per the phrase 'give as one gets'.

'it was started and prolonged by a different poster in previous years.' - as another poster has mentioned.

That poster happens to be a United fan. I've never heard it from anyone else so naturally enough it only goes back when United concede.




Anyway, can we all rejoice here & enjoy the hammering Chelsea are getting together?

Where is the logic in bringing in a 36 year old CB who's never played in the league before and hoping he's gonna solve your defensive woes?

Who the **** would want the job of being Chelsea's number 1 in the Frank Lampard era

Harry Palmr

You can't spend 200m, still be this bad at the back and stay in a job. Another defeat next time out and Lampard is toast.

tayto lover

The writing’s on the wall for Frank.

i figured it out, lampard had his youtube set to 2x speed and thought silva still had loads of pace

Utopia Parkway

Frank looks like he's staging a sit down protest over his side's defending.

He's untouchable now after calling the team after him

See, your trying to use logic to approach this. Clearly there is no logic applied to Chelsea's transfer dealings.

Agent Coulson

The sour face on Frank Lampard is a thing of beauty.

It'd be better if he actually tried to coach a defense. Didn't Derby have a similar problem?

Fitz*

Wow that is some hammering, and not even HT yet. And to the perceived PL whipping boys too.

Rossi IRL

Lampard and pundits can't use the excuse that Lampard couldn't buy any players due to the ban.

Now that he has bought a new team they look even worse.

Agent Coulson

I'd say Kepa is struggling not to smile and laugh.

Frank Lampard's Derby County had no stickability, no cohesion in the central midfield so if you got through you'd have a shot on goal.

Can't be too many people surprised by this. Lampard looked out of his depth at times last season when it came to the defense. He'll be sacked by Christmas the way things are going.

And made him captain

Difference is one poster does it when his team scores.

You are doing it against United.

One is celebrating the other is "giving as good as he gets" even though the perceived gets is just made up in his head

Osmosis Jones

Robinson has literally only scored one Premier League goal before today, and who was it against?

He doesn't even speak English so to make him captain in his first league game is mind boggling

razorblunt

Looking forward to Franck’s ‘humorous comment, pause, laugh, then “no but seriously” after this.

el Fenomeno

Why is Silva captain actually, who's the usual captain?

Azpilicueta is captain & Jorginho is vice captain.

its not even just silva or the fact they made him captain, how the fck is alonso still being trotted out at lb, he has the pace of a tectonic plate at this stage, paint would dry faster etc

RugbyLover123

Fair enough starting Silva, I can slightly justify that with their defence and him playing in the CL final only a few weeks ago.. but making him captain? Sends the complete wrong message to the squad.

I think Werner feels his 'effectiveness' as well on that side of the pitch. Chelsea set up is not going to get the best out of him at all.

TBF outside of kante there isn't many other options and he doesn't seem the most talkative out on pitch, like the rest are young lads new(er) players or Alonso, and Willy

why are they shifting him out to the left though also ? they seem to be lacking creatively and if ziyech isnt fit and doesnt hit the ground running i dont see where goals are coming from, havertz will surely only improve i suppose too.
