Being beaten 3 times by a really poor utd team in 1 season is bad but is it that we are just as poor or tactically outwitted on 3 occasions either doesn't bode well.
1. why is giroud not playing he should of been playing from mid Dec for me when tammy went off boil bat's is a sub certainly not a starter but it's worrying we have a world Cup winner who plays 3rd choice behind a young and upcoming player and a second choice player.
2. Reece James has been brilliant this year but that has meant azpi playing on left. why Play Emerson or alonso yes alonso isn't the best but he's better on the left and a left footer balances team better round peg in square hole.
3. Kante isn't suited in middle 3 it's so obvious. Kovacic is a great player in right position and that's in a 2 with kante. We keep playing 433 and with procession based play which leaves us wide open at back especially with jorginho as protection my granny was faster whilst carrying shopping in her slippers on ice after her hip surgery. I like jorginho as a player but he isn't right for Chelsea with current players and formation.
Kepa hopefully comes good I think he should of played against utd I know there trying to probably send a message by sending big willy in but against big teams he should still play.
Mason Mount what is his position when kepa was dropped I thought he might replace him as Frank seems to fancy him over everyone else don't know why goo professional but what does he genuinely offer a big team if we are a big team still
Frank imo has changed our back four way to much and that's not good for a solid base of a team I believe you build a team from the back. Why are pulisic cho competing for same spot when pulisic preferred position is on right.
I don't want to be negative but sarri was abused big time and he had a far better season. Yes we had a transfer ban and hazard left but we are losing far to many matches. I wouldn't be worried if we were losing away to the big boys but we are losing home games to teams we should be winning against easily with our squad
We seem to be very weak mentally and that is surely we're the coaching comes in.

I agree with most of your post. I think lampard is worried about leaders and that is why he plays azpilicueta on the left as he can't drop James. I do think that the criticism of Mount is too much. He has definitely come off the pace in recent months but with youth you have to be patient and give them the chance of being good enough otherwise we may aswell keep buying players.
