We’ve never managed to win 9 games out of 10 in our history until Frank Lampard turned up and did it twice in a year.
How wrong I was about his appointment. He’s a spectacular manager and we’re lucky to have him.
Now let’s beat Boro, go 10 points clear of second and make it 10 out of 11.
I’ll echo what others have said though in that the game didn’t even feel close to being over at 2-0, if anything it just felt like a temporary hiccup.
This team is just so good it always feels like they will find a way back in and when we scored the equaliser WBA players looked like they knew...
I like Saka but don’t think he’s having a great game.
He’s got lovely tricky feet but in beating his man twice he’s giving their defensive lines time to set.
We need him to be more direct.
Taking too long on the ball means they get their defensive shape back which results in us going out wide and spamming crosses.
We need tempo but we aren’t gonna get it with the personnel.
That was terrible in the end.
The pitch was a big factor there but there is always a danger that one so green was going to slow up in a couple of innings. It really wasn’t one to bat first on.
Good bowling first innings, the other 3 were diabolical.
