Grant Hanley is an absolute joke of a defender. How they've found themselves with their fourth choice CB in the Championship, in their starting line up in the PL is incredibly naive.

Norwich can’t defend for shit and it will see them go down.

There’s no discipline in the full backs, they’re constantly caught out in attacking positions. Really poor tactically.

He has been rubbish for ages. Really cannot understand why they bought him. He was promising early on but has never developed.

I wonder if Chelsea will handle this second half better than they have in their previous three games under Lampard?

Good goal from Mason Mount. 1-2. There's going to be no defending by the look of it.
Both teams are poor in defense, but Norwich are probably the worst in the league. Trying to think of teams that look so vulnerable, and I can't think of many.

Can we please give Gomes a chance in the team the way Lampard has given Mount a chance?

Really don’t want to see Lingard or Mata in that number 10 role anymore.
They handled him well, gave him 2 successful full season loans at Vitesse and Derby, paying off now and he is only 20. If we dont plan to give Gomes a lot of game time, a loan to the Eredivise or the Bundesliga wouldnt be too bad. The issue is Gome sprobably doesnt want to stick around here for longer if we dont play him quite a bit, his contract is running out

I agree but tbf Mount has a season of Championship behind him.

If I'd known it was Martin Atkinson reffing Chelsea yet again, I would have put money on an away win. Nailed on.

Bit harsh, think over the 3 games so far and what I've seen they look good and likely bet to stay up.
The question with Norwich is will their woefulness defensively start eating away at the confidence of their attacking players

Villa seem like they have the better balance of the two, good going forward and solid enough at the back

Neither team can defend :lol:

Norwich will still lose this.. They are really really open at the back.
