Abraham & Werner are bang average aren't they. No sophistication or guile whatsoever.
Yeah you're waiting for Werner to explode in prem but dosen't look like happening anytime soon.

Feels to me like Giroud with Pulisic, Ziyech and Mount all interchanging behind him is the best bet for them in away games.

Stonewall peno, clipped his heel albeit barely then caught him with the knee when he was already on the way down. No way a clear and obvious error and absolutely a foul.

What's the point of VAR if they say that's a pen? Utterly ridiculous.
Chelsea have shown no desire to keep the ball or create anything. Werner has been shite. You’ve made your own problems here.

What exactly is Lampard’s game plan here? Can’t see one

Think you're one of the few to think that, so not all that obvious really!
Obviously a pen.
Quite how anyone can think otherwise I'll never know.
Arm across the body first, then the knee, then the contact on the leg.
Take your pick of fouls there.

Gk should stand about 1 feet behind the line because thrusting ahead before jump gives good boost. Can't do it while standing on the line.

We have a very good squad with an absolute coward in charge. Zero ambition in big games and utterly clueless game management. Bye Frank.

Chelsea are a bit underwhelming considering they've signed half the international players in Europe. Their Russian crook will probably bin Lampard if they don't improve on 4th.

That's what I thought. Amazing how the opinions contrast again. Although I myself was guilty of that recently and had to change mine after the tenth replay. Not changing here though. Stonewall. :D

Never trust Bundesliga forwards to do it in England. If you watch that league every team plays with a crazy high line. You’re not gonna get that kind of space to run into in England.

Daniel James would look good in Germany swear down.

I wish there were crowd noise just so we wouldn't have to listen to Tyler's and/or Neville's heavy breathing.

I think once the ref decided pen, it was never gonna be overturned because its no way clear and obvious. To the letter of the law its a foul. One of those ones where Kyle Walker does it or Cancelo and I'm like "Thats not a pen" happens to Sterling in the other box and I'm like "Stonewall!".

Think the look on James' face and the lack of complaining said a lot as well.

That's the thing about Roman, doesn't suffer fools and if the right manager is in the market he'll change. They've got the squad to do better.

Arsenal's midfield is far too easy to bypass. Partey would be an upgrade on Xhaka when he returns.

I can agree with you here.
You are so cautious, and the constant trust in players such as Werner and Mount is bizarre, should be cutting teams open with the attacking players you have.
