Morning all, and Eds, always a nice day when you've had a good result the day before!

We saw Emerson subbed early yesterday in a move that worked really well tactically for that game, but has once again got fans talking about the fact neither Alonso or Emerson seem to be doing the business, plus there's been talk for some time of interest in both players from elsewhere. I don't think a left back was listed in Ed002's list he kindly provided, so it seems fans and club have very different ideas about that position on the pitch.

Its a position we've consistently had issues finding a long term solution to since Cole, with plenty of players looking decent in bursts but never really making it their own, or if they do they come a cropper to managerial change (Alonso from Conte to Sarri for example) .

Eds - I know we have a talented youngster in that area, but it seems unlikely Lampard will be absolutely happy with the solutions he has right now. Are Chelsea really happy to wait it out with

{Ed002's Note - It was because Lampard screwed up the tactics - nothing else.}

Agree Ed tactics were shocking yesterday to start with
Arsenal are weak defensively so why set up with a back 5.
