      I hope that won’t be the case and Frank won’t settle for Rudiger and Christensen partnership. because that partnership is a disaster. the best Partnership for me is Rudiger-Tomori one flanked by James and Azpi for the time being. infront of them, i prefer Kante and Kovacic.

        Chelseaman, you’ve seen for yourself mate how many games Rudiger and Christensen have played together recently which suggests Frank has decided that’s the Centre Back partnership he currently feels most confident with doesn’t mean that will last forever and there might be games where we need to rotate.

        Tbh with you I think Centre Back is an area that needs strengthening in the Summer and the rumours suggest Frank thinks that too. Like you I have misgivings about Christensen too.

            9, yes we look a bit weak in the centre of defence, but surely putting Kante in front of them doing what he does best is a no brainier….Pagan

              Interesting from Frank’s press conference:

              Lampard said: β€œI’ve read quite a bit of false, nonsense articles this week, with people probably guessing players (who might be leaving).

              β€œOf course there are decisions for the club ongoing in the summer – we have to look at that. But there’s no way I’m jumping into the future now – and a lot of those reports were wrong.”

              Kepa has been left out for Chelsea’s past five matches, with Lampard having been critical of him following a number of errors by the Spaniard this season.

              But Lampard remains adamant that there has been no rift behind the scenes.

              He said: β€œThe relationship’s fine between player and manager. I have 20 or so players to keep happy and can’t keep them all happy at the same time.

              β€œAll I expect is their professionalism in training, which Kepa’s given.

              β€œEvery position is the same: you train well to try and get in the team when you’re not in it, and when you play you try to get performance levels that keep you in the team.

              β€œEvery player is in control of their own destiny with that to a degree.

              β€œI will decide as we go. That’s why I’m very strong on the fact that how you turn up and train every day is pivotal to whether you play.”

                We have not challenged in the Premier League for a couple of years.

                β€œWe have to fight and work as hard as we can on the training pitch and in games to close that gap.

                β€œCome the summer, of course as a club we want to move forward and make some decisions.

                β€œWe are certainly on the same page here when I speak with the board.” Frank Lampard

                The above suggests that the Club is looking to be active in the Summer window.

                How active of course remains the question.

                  Do we want to sell Alonso? well we should think twice if that is our position currently. the man is very important to the team than some of our established wingers.

                    Alonso is a great Wing Back Chelseaman. Story of our season again today totally dominant bags of missed chances. Hopefully Everton do us a favour tomorrow.

                      Week in week out this side are useless from minute 46 to 60 and so it has been proven yet again. 4am here and I’ve had a gutful, not of beer, of them. Goodnight.

                        Great result for Bournemouth – not so great for us but given the mauling midweek and the fact the cherries have the tail winds against us of late, happy with the point.

                        Fa cup and 4th place to celebrate – I’m starting to sound like a gooner when they had wenger in charge

                            If we could defend corners and crosses we would have 4th place all but wrapped up.?

                                    Since Christensen was reintroduced into the side, we had been conceding at 2 goals a game, isn’t it time that Frank explores different options, because whilst the boy is talented, he lacks concentration, and that is what you need to succeed as a centre back in the premier league. the earlier combination of Zouma and Tomori has been working well, it was better than the current one that includes Christensen.

                                      Chelseaman, we’ve looked vulnerable in the middle of the defence no matter who has played and in what combination I thought when Rudiger came back we would look a bit less vulnerable and stop conceding goals to dead ball situations but we haven’t.

                                      I think we have to recognise we haven’t got it right in that area and we need a Van Dijk commanding type player to come in in the Summer which means one going out probably Zouma.

                                        Chelsea have received a significant boost ahead of the summer transfer window with the news that midfield anchor N’Golo Kante has no intentions to leave the club, according to Caught Offside.

                                        This season, the former Leicester City midfielder, who helped France win the 2018 FIFA World Cup, has not featured as regularly as he would have liked, with him being hampered by injury issues.

                                        Nevertheless, the tough-tackling midfield man has been available to make 22 appearances this season and has chipped in with three goals.

                                        With Kante ready to stick around in West London, it will come as a big blow to both Juventus and Real Madrid, who were keeping tabs on the Frenchman.

                                        Good news if true?

                                          Yes Pagan, I have seen it all as have you by the sounds. It still doesn’t make it any easier trying to understand what goes wrong in that 15 minute break that causes them to go to sleep thereafter until the match has been turned on its head. Way too predictable.

                                            67, we often look asleep in the first 15 minutes of games too.
