So that pedestrian, narrative continues.


That was an amazing free kick though!

I guess it depends on Tuchel's success to some extent.
Interesting tidbit that was revealed is that Lampard really wanted to buy Rice and Chilwell this past summer, as well as Ziyech and Aubameyang last winter. Mendy was also on his insistence. The club was against buying Rice, and thought that Kepa should have been handled better. All the other purchases were made by the club. Maybe Lampard isn't as stupid as we thought.
Dodged a bullet there. It's too bad though, as I was hoping that Frank would stick around because with a decent manager they're a contender for top 4. With Frank, not so much.
