Having calmed down i was wandering what do you guys think about Lampard playing Kante in the Makelele role?. The last couple of years most people have always seen Kante as a CDM when he's never been one but i think the time's right to test it. We need that player in front of the defence that can be that destroyer, the same way Ndidi is for Leicester. Jorginho doesn't have the legs to do that and in general his defensive awareness isn't that great.
Watch the 2nd goal back and for me if Kante is in that position he gets to Bellerin before the shot. Just feel like Kante is being wasted this season in a similar way to last season. He's getting pushed into the final third too much and he doesn't have the ability to perform there.
Especially when we're playing teams who play with a low block. I'd try him in that CDM role with Kovacic as the RCM and allow the 3rd CM to be more forward thinking like Barkley or Mount. Obviously Ruben will be the 3rd CM when fit though. Personally think it would work very well.

I thought two players, Jorginho and Christensen had above average games and Dave wasn’t bad.
The goals came from poor defending.
I’m not a fan of stats but this is one that Lamps mentioned. Apparently we have created the second highest amount of chances but we are the second worse on conversion of those chances. I personally can’t believe that is true but that is what he said.

Jorginho? Tom, you just have to get over your love-in and take the Jorginho coloured specks off! What exactly did Jorginho actually do to warrant your praise? Or is it just the case that he wasn't as desperately as awful as he ususally is?!
{Ed047's Note - above average game, seriously, I specifically watched him. Did zip 🤦â€â™‚ï¸

I was at the game and he was one of our better players.
As I’ve already said the fans at the ground were singing his name continuously and I trust there judgement.
{Ed001's Note - I don't.}

TomB - You may have been at the game, but you must not of been watching it because Jorginho did diddly squat apart from convert the pen, which is the only reason the fans were singing his name.
