What's new

Chelsea v Nottingham Forest (PL) Sat 13th May 2023 15:00 GMT

Biggest takeaway from this game, unless we sign mbappe no more nonsense of Kai or Felix as 9. No more I want my st to make overlapping run for winger. 

For some of you who said Fofana, Fofana debut was one the rawest perfomance I have seen playing for us in years. Even more raw than some of our academy player.

I can't understand the starting line ups - there is absolutely no consistency. None of the players must know where they'll be come match day. I honestly expected a degree of stability to return with Frank but its been the opposite. The sooner this season ends the better. I have started to see Leeds being relegated as my main hope for the last 2/3 games. That will be a successful season for me..

 
Thought the changes to last week were really stupid. I've been one of Kova's biggest supporters and admire his play greatly but he has been terrible since the world cup either due to injury or not caring or both. I think mostly injury but who knows.

Felix is either good enough to start most weeks or he isn't. Picking him one week and then not the next week is beyond dumb. Moving Sterling from 11 to 9 equally dumb and coupling him with Felix was never going to work.

Lewis Hall is good going forward but defensively he is pretty much useless at LWB at the moment. On the other hand Chalobah did pretty well. Gallagher is on the left one week then the right the next week.

One of the things I have read about modern coaching is that you try to form cells of 2-3 players so that each of the group knows what the other one is doing and they play as an integrated unit. When you not only switch out the players but also where they play all the time there is no chance of developing that team work.

As well as not having a striker we don't have a captain. Where is the roy keane or john terry or I dont know nobby styles that holds the whole thing together. More character is needed.

Frank as a player was an absolute legend as a coach it doesn't work. That said does it matter? this season is so dead. And yet I will be watching the next game hoping that somehow while I sleep this sorry assed bunch of pickup players can transform themselves into a competitive team with character.

 
Just watched the highlights, what a joke drawing against this load of no-hopers. Worst away team in the league and we can't even scrape a win. Lampard is never going to be a successful manager, he can't set up a defence to save his life.

Mudryk not getting any minutes is mystifying and to prioritise a loanee with no end product and bring on Ziyech, guys who won’t be here next season instead is just abysmal stuff; beyond a joke.

Funnily enough Ziyech got an assist last time out.

I still expect him to go though.

Our form just now is like a mid table club that know they are safe and have nothing to play for.

Not all are playing like that yet some are.

Mendy is what he is, no surprises both goals are his fault.

First goal all day long ... completely misjudged the pace/flight of the ball and is in totally the wrong place to make the punch/catch, but I don't see how the second goal was his fault ?

For me mate they are the same mistake. The first is just easier to see since he comes for the ball and makes a complete prat for himself. 

The second he just stays there. He is a big guy, the ball is played in to his area, he should be coming out and punching that clear off the top of the head of the Forrest striker. 

Instead he does not want to look a fool again by mistiming his punch so he leaves it on the defender and unfortunately Badiashile got beaten to the ball.

A top keep dominates his box and takes that one off the defender and clears it.
