Chelsea looked really good at the weekend, but I wonder how much of that was down to Wolves being shite? Without taking anything away from Lampard’s side, they did lose at home to Valencia in midweek so that suggests that Saturday’s win says as much about Wolves as it does Chelsea.

 

That being said, Abraham was brilliant and Mount looked good again. Another youngster also got on the scoresheet too as Tomori opened the scoring with a brilliant 30 yarder. Three England u21 players scoring in the same game for a top six side? That’s a Henry Winter wet dream that is.

 

Lampard has claimed that Abraham would have been playing even if Chelsea hadn’t been banned from buying anybody. Bit presumptuous that. Since when have Chelsea managers had any say in transfers?

 

Mount and Abraham are getting their chance because Chelsea can’t buy anybody. Not only that, Lampard is getting his chance for the exact same reason, as no top manager would have taken the job under those circumstances. Long term though it might work to their advantage because there are other kids coming through there that we haven’t even seen yet. 

 

Chelsea raced into a 4-0 lead at Molyneux as Abraham utterly humiliated poor Conor Coady on his way to a hat-trick. Wolves pulled a couple back but Mount went through to score and give the scoreline a more accurate look.

 

Wolves are in full ‘Burnley last season’ mode now. They’ve gone from being solid and hard to beat to leaking goals all over the shop and they just don’t look like the same team. Unfortunately they’ll probably turn it around the way Burnley did, but the longer they stay near the bottom the better because their fans are the absolute worst “banter merchants” you’ll find. Ok, second worst. No-one is taking that crown from Villa any time soon.

Fat chance (pun intended). I recall Klopp saying that Trent would not have received the opportunities he did but for injuries. He's confident enough in his own methods to admit to being the beneficiary of luck when it happens. For Frank and his over-promoted ilk, all successes are part of the plan and only failures are down to luck, or the lack of it.

Oh Davey, you played some blinders in this one.

 

Hotly-contested first prize for Dorothy and Kansas. Absolute quality strike. 

 

Honorable mentions for:

Man City trying to play like, erm, Man City. 

The Theo Walcott snipe.

Otamende and Dejan Lovren. 

 

There are probably other candidates for top ten quips in there but I can't be bothered looking. Or, for that matter, even finishing this sente
