Premier League Festive Season

This place would be in absolute meltdown if we were playing like Chelsea here
 
I'm not giving up on Lampard, though it has to noted that I was not fully convinced by him either - he's a rookie and I hoped/still hope he'd grow into the job, meaning I'd be accepting of his shortcomings/inexperience provided he showed signs of learning for his mistakes. This season is essentially his first 'proper' season at Chelsea.
I think a good way to judge your manager is through what rival fans think. If Chelsea went out & got Nagelsmann or Rose or even someone like Allegri or Simeone, I would be very worried about them. If they stick with Lampard I’m very very happy, because I know they won’t be challenging.

I know this is how rival fans see Ole too.
 
One of the worst performances of any team this season from Chelsea tonight so far
 
This result is so 2020. In a couple weeks we might look back on our draw today as a good outing. Bonkers...
 
It's like a conspiracy of underachievement. This week, lampard gives Arteta a leg up, takes some heat to make the other losers look less bad. Then when he is under fire, guardiola will step in with a shocking defeat to take the heat off, solskjaer to follow etc.

I’d say a better way is to judge by results and form rather than know it all fans who read the news
 
Those Arsenal kids, they put to shame some of their seniors.
You can see that ESR and Martinelli are far from the finished product but just that small injection of youth makes a big change. Even if it was still 0-0 it looks like some sort of football at least. It's been a while...

In fairness Martinelli and Saka are big talents. Don't really see guys like Willock and Eddie Nketieh making it though there.

Smith Rowe's an interesting one, like what I saw from him on loan at Huddersfield and think he was at RB Leipzig the previous year but didn't play much due to injury so think he's got something about him.
 
If we win tomorrow we go 2nd. Your comments aren't going so well are they.

Yeah you said that already. You'll have a game in hand though and your form is pretty shit. The Mou meltdown might come sooner than usually.

Plus Everton mustn't win so you are talking out of your arse again. No wonder though. Not only is your football unwatchable now your results aren't very good anymore either.

Its what it's taken to help you win the league

Don't be so ungrateful.

In comparison to Pepe and Willian, without a doubt
 
Arsenal could well be 5 up if they'd taken the great chances.

Talents or not, they shouldn't be outperforming the likes of Willian and Pepe.
 
how many crosses so far by chelsea? must be more than 50 or so...
 
Was amazed Chelsea's GD was so high before the game. Early season was littered with so many draws and apart from beating Palace 4-0 can't think of any other big wins they've had.

Arsenal 3-0 means we go to 5th so interesting game in store on Monday.

Arsenal have been good in the Europa, begs the question why Smith Rowe, Willock didn't get more of a look in earlier in the league campaign.

They do need Partey in midfield.
