Well, shit.  Maybe we don't need to sign a first-team-caliber striker.  Tammy sure as hell looks the part.

Hope Pulisic was just being rested in advance of the champions league matchday

He will.  There isn't much difference in finishing the misses he had the past two games and finishing the number of goals he's had during the past two seasons.  He just needs to get more confidence in himself that he can do it at this level too.

3 at the back again.

Pulisic starts on the bench.

Guehi is on the bench as Rudiger is out

Rudiger - Groin

Kante/CHO/Reece - not match fit

Mount out injured, Pedro on for him. Ugly foul by former gooner Colequin.

Hopefully it's not bad.  Pedro has looked like crap so far.

What a pass by Kovacic that Willian just can't get over.

Freaking incredible pass.  I won't fault Willian for not being able to finish that, but it would have been a wondergoal had he been able to.

Willian almost with another goal, nice save.

Kova out there dropping dimes while Azpi can't even hit a cross when he's wide open.  Willian has looked much better playing in the narrower position whereas Pedro looks really uncomfortable out there. 

Overall, we've looked the better team.  If we avoid the brain farts, we should be able to put in a goal or two in the second half and win this one.  

Despite my bias wanting Pulisic to start every game, I like the amount of different looks that Lampard has put out there to start the season. It should benefit us later on to have data on a lot of different lineups and player combinations. There's so much young talent on this team - I think it can be difficult to get a sense of who's going to break out or show flashes at any given time. 

And oof that was dangerous - talk about brain farts.

Let's see if Puli and Bats can make some magic

Man Tomori can really hit those long balls.

Oh Zouma off for Giroud.

 

Moving to 4 at the back with Alonso...

How in the fuck is that not marked

  • Author

Walked away for a second to work and sure enough, 4 at the back with Alonso didn't work.

  • Author

Oh cool a set piece with both Tammy and Jorg not marking.

Let's see how VAR works here. I have no clue honestly.

What a shit performance in a group that can be had. These points might end up hurting. 

And where the fuck is Pulisic... he has almost 1500 minutes in the CL. Unless he's getting sold or loaned I have no idea why he wouldn't merit a look towards the end here. Why sub in Barkely if you've already broken the 3-4-3 by taking Zouma out?

Maybe Mount going out screwed up the gameplan but that seems like a weak excuse. 

Didn't see the second half.  Were the weird subs due to injury, or did Frank have an aneurysm?

Haha, so Barkley took the PK and missed it? I mean it's not like we have Jorg who is nails at it on the squad.

I guess. I mean he only had 2 available from Mount going down in the first but he could have done anything he wanted with those 2. No one else came off injured. 

And as to my earlier comment, if Pulisic is getting sent away then why tf do we have him warming up on the sidelines in the 60th? Just seems like boneheaded subbing by Lampard. We don't need 90 minutes of Willian. And as dodgy as Zouma has been I think he at least does a better job on that free kick than Tammy and Jorg did.

The main positive take home from the game - Tomori is nails.

you left out the best part.

Haha, yeah read on it but didn't see it live. Seems like this is a situation that needs sorted prior to the game by the Manager, or potentially a captain to wander in and clear it up...

He could also just make the fucking penalty. I think that would have been the most optimal course of action.

That's just not Barkley's style.

Frank said Barkely's first man up when he's on the pitch. About that . . . .  Maybe when you have Willian and Jorghino on the pitch, you let them take the penalties instead of pre-season wonderman Barkley.  

Why in the world would Barkley be first man up for penalties?

He is actually been pretty good. I would put Jorg above him, but maybe Frank knows something I don't.

Willian's response was classy for once.

Hope Pulisic responds to the recent lack of first team minutes positively and takes on the challenge.

Dude have you seen his pecs?

I thought forearms were what determined athletic excellence?

Welp. Going about like I thought it would. How have we fallen so far below the likes of fucking Liverpool?

Fuck me. You simply must score on those chances against a side like this.
