One game . That's very rational thinking . We were harder break down. A free transfer at the back helped a lot with that
For an intelligent guy you really do lose all since of perspective at times.

We lost because Doucs had a brain fart and gave away a soft pen, what good would a striker have been had we had to play Keane at the back instead of Tarkowski or not paired Doucoure and Iwobi in the centre and had to play Davies and/or Gomes?
We can plan for the future all we like but if we have no goals then its pointless. No goalscorer and we will go down.

We just played a team that started Koulibaly and Sterling (£80m) and threw on a £50m full back.
Most solid player on the pitch was a free from Burnley.
Losing to Chelsea (via a pen) is not throwing points down the drain.
We've been badly managed but need to give somebody time.
Positives are Mykolenko and Patterson as young full backs. McNeil is 22 and Iwobi looks like a one of the midfielders we've been crying out for.
We need quality up front but need I'm pretty sure they are trying to address it. We've been so badly run in the past that it's making things more difficult.
Tarkowski is a great signing but he was a free transfer and should have had no impact on us getting a forward as well.
I've been saying what I've been saying for weeks. I think what I'm saying is logical.
You do know we were totally hampered by financial issues . We bought mcneill who plays in a similar position to Richarlison too ya

We have nearly a full month left of the window to go - chill bro.
I'm not giving an opinion on Mcneil yet or for a while but I would personally have wanted more of a goalscorer.
They were not good at all today so I dont agree. With a proper forward that game is there for the taking. The manager just wasn't provided with the tools he needs to win games at this level.
It will be the same next week too if we line up again without a top flight standard forward.

Definitely improved from last season but he needs more bodies in as fast as possible to be given a proper chance. Onana and Gana will strengthen us a lot but he has to be given a CB and striker urgently too, preferably this week.
Give him the tools and i am sure he will do a good job.

You say we weren't good but with a proper forward we could have won (I agree by the way). We played a team that should smash us if we are being brutally honest.
But our CF got an unexpected injury a few days ago and we played the team that spent the most in the window and won the CL a couple of years ago.
We have been badly run since Moyes left and we are suffering because of it. Lampard knows enough to see what we need. We need some stability and hopefully we can give him the time to provide it.
What I saw today suggests we will be more difficult to beat. It's going 2 down in 20 minutes to the likes of Norwich and Brighton that worry me, not losing via an iffy pen to one of the richest teams in the league.

Where on earth are you pulling that from? Rondon is a Championship striker at best, DCL can’t stay fit and knowing us, we will sign Tosun 2.0 from the Belgian division.
Nothing “bodes well” right now.

A 1-0 loss against a toothless Chelsea side and people are praising Frank.
This is why we don’t deserve good things. We revel in mediocrity and have done for decades.
