    My money is on Steve Bruce gone by end of September or Christmas at latest!

    Self explanatory.

    His tactics are as a player............ Not as a "team" manager.

    Don't get me wrong, I worshipped the guy as a great player. What he achieved playing for Chelsea, not many others did, but in my opinion he is not tactically smart.

    Speaking as a Ram, he tactically outsmarted Leeds in the playoff second leg, and that takes some doing.

    With the transfer embargo, Lampard is on a hiding to nothing being there.

    Cannot see the point in getting rid of him.

    I really hope they give the young players a chance - it's not top 4 stuff at the moment (almost gave me a heart-attack watching them against Sheffield United) but then Chelsea were always going to struggle after Eden Hazard left... and they still need to find a captain... never replaced J Terry

    Also still waiting for the return of Hudson Odoi, Loftus Cheek... Kante... Rudiger... is Pedro injured too etc...

    I think Chelsea had 42 players out on loan at the beginning of the 2019 season... things could be worse.

    Do you want to back track? He is doing a great job for Chelsea and the youngsters

    As a life long Chelsea supporter, I love he's brought through the academy players, we're certainly reaping rewards there.

    But I have to question the inability to keep clean sheets. Maybe when rudiger comes back it'll improve somewhat.

    But the long and short is I'm enjoying his reign so far

    And FL did mention that he'd like to bring in new players too ... sure he knows Kante is getting on and they need a new John Terry at the back to get things organised there
