I'd like to see Mount move deeper with Kante coming off for CHO and moving Pulisic into the number 10 role. Also Bats for Tammy. We're missing Jorge as Kova is having to keep the ball moving all on his own, Kante is simply nowhere near ready yet.

Yeah they've got it this season, no one is doing well enough to challenge them.

Brilliant by Pulicic and Bats gave the backline something else to think about with his movement. Great goal by the subs.

Looks like Lamps was thinking the same.

CHO and Mount could do with being subbed off, they look like they're out of steam.

We need it.

I can't say I agree with the Zouma bashing, Tomori was at fault and would have done what he did regardless of who his partner is, he's young and it'll sometimes happen. It may even happen when he's Luiz's age, just like Luiz. Yeah I'd take a solid 2-0 over a possible 6-5 anyday.

Willian did well, Odoi should have really scored there, the goal keeper actually opened the goals up for him.

Also in the best position to get an easy yellow with a player dribbling at speed. Tomori shouldn't have allowed the ball to get crossed, however I think we're being picky as we can't expect the opposition to never score.

I don't think any of our centre backs are bang average, they have the quality to be top players. I think at the moment Lamps need to sort out the middle of the pitch, Kante is at times starting higher up the pitch than he was under Sarri, which isn't doing any of the centre backs and favours at all, once a Southampton player wins the ball they're running at our backline.

Can't blame one player there, I don't think Jorginho was expecting Valery to walk past his teammates.

We need Kovacic on for the 2nd half, he brings a balance between defence and attack to the midfield, Mount starts off far too advanced and Kante and in particular Jorginho and Alonso are being overrun - Mount does pitch in but he arrives far too late to a defensive situation. We've got our goals, now what we need to do is shut the middle down and use the wingers to hurt Southampton on the counter.

Kante!!

I'm surprised that a Lampard team is so easily run over with no bite in the challenges, he needs to install more grit into their mentality.

Brilliant goal! Who said he shouldn't play in a more advance position!? 🤣
