Forget top 4. The way we've been playing, Top 6 is increasingly becoming beyond reach without any changes.

When you have the blind leading the blind, it's not surprising.

Everyone has been sh*t in this game except for Silva. When otherwise good players all routinely play poorly, look to the top for answers.

What was Sallah's attribute when he was at Chelsea? Where you even a Chelsea fan then?

We should be 0-1 down but lady luck was on our side (notwithstanding Mount's effort off the bar). We need HT subs to send the message that it's 3pts or bust for Lampard and his coaching career at CFC. It's that obvious.

There's time so long as he goes on a 7 to 8 league game wining streak starting with the next game. I guess given Ole has miraculously turned around ManU midseason, anything is possible. Lol.

Lampard, we love you are our legend but unfortunately, it's time to move on. Whatever is left of our football is getting progressively worse. Good thing we have enough points to avoid any concerns of a relegation dogfight because clearly we are not playing well enough to beat any top 10 team.

It doesn't have serial winner on it but he's experienced (notwithstanding only 33 yrs old) and has shown promise and progress at Hoffenheim and RB (taking two small clubs to top 4).

I think you misunderstood me. I am not saying that Villa has average or poor players. They don't have top quality talent (today) apart from Mings and Jack. The likes of McGinn, Luiz and Watkins are good technical players. If they move on to bigger clubs in 2 or 3 years time doesn't support your assertion that they are top players right now. The fact that Ross Barkley walked into their starting 11 and became one of their top 2 best players speaks volumes about the grade or quality of players Dean Smith has been working with.

They have some good players but your post is a stretch. Their most talented players are Tyrone Mings (relatively underrated), Jack Grealish (whom I like a lot) and ironically, our boy, Barkley who barely played for Chelsea, hence the loan to Villa. Mings will walk into our starting 11 as will Grealish. That's it. They do have a number of good technically skilled players whom Dean Smith gets the most out of and they always play to win regardless of the opponent. Obviously, Dean Smith is a much better manager than Lampard but I doubt Dean's name will be on any Chelsea fan's shortlist for Chelsea's next manager. So that puts things in perspective wrt Lampard's current performance as the manager.

It's not looking good for Frank Lampard, I have to admit. It's like the club is treading water at best. Today was definitely 2 points dropped. Another bad result.

Pulisic’s pass could’ve been earlier but Werner’s left footed shot was more like a back pass than a strike. Had he hit it with conviction the ball would’ve gone through the goalies legs.

Un freaking believable. Werner missed a sitter

What’s the difference between Azpilcueta tackle called as foul and Rice tackle on azpilcueta not called?

Silva !!
