You can’t be serious with those ratings. You’d think we won this match 3-0 by looking at this post in isolation.

More worried about this team than I was before this match despite the win.

Missed the match. How was Billy?

Ha!

Tuchel is available. Not my first choice but he’s an option.

If we’re talking another manager then Allegri should be first choice.

Sorry, not buying this part. The squad under JM’s second stint was a completely different squad than today. It’s much more feasible that performances drop under any manager when that manager has lost his influence (lost the dressing room) so instead we are seeing the effects of that.

You used that adjective to fit your agenda and not how Frank meant it.

You are splitting hairs but I’ll indulge. I think it’s fair play by Frank to want to win the match, dead rubber or not, hence bringing that quality on. The culture of looking to win every match is something I welcome.

Feels good.

I have been saying this since pre-season, though maybe not on this message board. There is no reason to believe we cannot compete for the title. Lampard talks about closing the gap, which is fair enough because you want to focus on small wins and build from there but it is entirely possible to mount a legitimate title challenge.

That makes sense but I don’t believe Lampard will stop playing him. Likely will look to play him and Havertz with Kante behind them. I’m a fan of Mason and I certainly appreciate what he brings to the team but is there always a need for him? Seems despite the opponent and the situation, he plays. I can’t help but think of Barkley might have done in his position today.

Except, you don't. That's consistently your narrative these days. You and BlueRod. Own it.

Playing in ten men for an entire half against the league champions and people are asking if Lampard is up to the task. Pick your timing better with your agenda.

Our best ever. No doubt. Granted, you have to look at it in isolation and not compare what other transfer windows have brought us in terms of success.
