Of course it's no longer news that Chelsea lost to Manchester United and well Chelsea often makes out Christiano Ronaldo out of Marcus Rashford every time they play them and believe me the it's a dent of the momentum for Frank Lampard and obviously this might just be the game that'll save the job of Ole Gunner Solskjaer at Man United. Truth was that Frank Lampard didn't have the right mentality going into this match and this was obviously evident in his lineup the truth is that sometimes you don't even play because that particular competition is important but you play because you want to have bragging rights and Frank Lampard doesn't understand this phenomenon yet and this is a mentality he will cultivate with experience. The truth was that the mentality made Chelsea lose this match because he didn't take it as a match that he deserved bragging rights for, rather his experiment continues which is obviously shameful for me.

In All Fairness Marcos Alonso Might be Lampard's Achilles heel and why is this? He was the main reason, the sole reason why Chelsea lost he was so porous and poor that at some time or another Hudson Odoi had to truck back in order to assist him and even if I think the penalty against Manchester United was soft he was incapable and too slow. He wasn't really adding anything to the attack and also he was poor defensively and in most cases he managed to slow down a promising attack and from all the two goals that was scored against Chelsea he had a hand in causing all the goals. Although in Lampard's defence we might say that he also doesn't really have any replacement and that is why he's always played Alonso Irrespective of his terrible display*. but has it been made known to him that he has been shambolic and needs to up his game? has he been given any disciplinary measures or would he continue ruining Chelsea this way? I know people might keep arguing that there were other players who also didn't live up to expectation but come on Alonso was a total culprit and his mistakes are unforgivable.

The Subtitutions were off and Lampard definitely bottled this one. For example, how the hell do you remove a physical player who was obviously disturbing the Manchester United defence in Batsuayi and playing Tammy Abraham who obviously wasn't physical enough for such a game? Is there anything tactical about such Subtitutions? do you know that one of the main reason why man united kept their defence line intact was because they often bullied Chelsea and Chelsea needed a bully as well in front of the United defence in order to break open the defensive play? but no! Lampard really didn't see this as a manager and it was terrible. Two, Hudson Odoi should have left the pitch because it's obvious that he needs a mental awakening. he needs to realise that he is at Chelsea and he should start playing his best of games, the fans are tired of his lack of productivity. obviously he might even need rehabilitation as well. Christian Pulisic should have stayed on and why bringing in Pedro? when you could have removed Alonso and brought in a more steady defender? Or even play there man at the back and reenforced the attack?

Frank Lampard's experiments continues but obviously he should have developed the right mentality in this game and it could've made the difference, that said he's done 65% well and well we'd cut him the slack, Ole Gunner Solskjaer might have edged out this one and believe me it will save his job at least until the end of season. Chelsea is growing team and at the end it boils down to mental strength, we saw this with Christian Pulisic and it's working just be well. In truth I expected at least a draw and if Manchester United had won it on penalties then nobody would have had any course to throw tantrums because penalty was a game of luck however it is, let us see the way Lampard and his boys would pick up themselves after such a poor outing.
