Shambolic. No fight, no energy. Lampard showing very little tactical intelligence when it comes to games like these. Really concerning. Only player who gets a shred of credit is Zouma. We have no plan B, no formation changes, no tactics. All teams need to do is be compact, sit deep and let us pass it about, whilst we hit the first man at every corner and are afraid to shoot. Then wait till we tire, grab a goal on the break or from a set piece and then watch us huff and puff. Seen it three games in a row now- West Ham, Everton, Bournemouth- at no point did we look like winning any of them.
I was criticised a few weeks ago after West Ham saying that was the start of us falling out of the top four. Mourinho will be the one to it next week. I want Lampard to succeed, but he needs to stop being so blinkered. Mount was very poor again, why wasn't he hooked earlier. Why was Kovacic dropped. Why did James not start.
The best performance we've had this year was 5-2 against Wolves and we used 3-4-3. Did the same second half against Ajax and we looked fantastic. So why aren't we still using it?
Make no mistake, there is a lot of good stuff at the club right now, but there is an awful lot that needs fixing and fast or we're going to end up mired in midtable.
