2022/23 Frank Lampard

[Dame Judi Dench]

He's the one picking them every week and training them. Are you saying he has no influence over the way they play? Isn't a manager supposed to improve and develop players?

It’s only the managers fault when it’s the Fat Waiter and Allardyce. It’s the players fault when it’s Frank and Big Dunc.

Because we drew with a promoted team through a long ball in the 88th minute

Oh yeah forgot goals that are scored from a long ball don't count.....oh and its actually a points deduction to score a goal like that against a promoted team.

I think Pickford should a way forward yesterday Route 1 works occasionally

gotta mix it up

Lampard needs to be supported by this disgrace of a board and owner by actually giving him the tools for the job.

We could give Guardiola the job and he’d struggle with what Lampard has to work with.

Lampard might not be the long term answer, but the reason we are in this mess is because the board have made bad choice after bad choice.

We’ve been saddled with mediocre players on mega wages from each manager we’ve had, including Ancelotti, and it’s come home to roost.

Is that the Rodgers that just got webbed at home by a Southampton side full of kids?

Same one that has the same amount of points and conceded double the amount of goals

A managerial change is not the answer

Get some forwards in who can actually pass a ball and out their foot through a shot. Nothing wrong with the tactical set up at the weekend whatsoever. We limited them to speculative shots from distance, and we made multiple chances. Job done from the formation and tactical perspective.

What Lampard can’t account for is stupid shoddy sloppy half arsed forward play from Gordon Gray McNeill Davies. That’s two games in a row McNeil has botched simple through balls to play a teammate in. He never looked that hesitant banging them in against us every game. The biggest shock of Gray scoring was that he hadn’t yahood it over the bar like he did every other chance. Gordon just can’t strike a ball hard enough. Davies is an utter clown who looked like a competition winner out there.

Put Havertz Mount Sterling there or Kane Son Kulisevski and we’re probably 7 points out of 9 at least.

We have to move away from just blasting the manager all the time. He hasn’t got suitable tools for the job. Once again Davies is starting games. There was one attacking player on the bench in McNeill (if we accept Dele was never coming on). It’s just not good enough.

You’re right, a change is not the answer. But all this Frank has done everything right and everything is the players fault is always the players fault is just laughable.

He’s the least of problems at the club and he needs backing but he seems to be immune from any sort of criticism.

Usual excuses of everything is Keane’s, Gomez’s and Gbamin fault is now Davies, Mcneil’s and Gordon’s fault.

If you cant recognise the context of not having a centre forward capable of playing in this league, then football isn't for you.

Calls for the fella to be sacked from the superbloos already

We deserve everything that we have coming to us.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

They're mediocre players alright but I can't remember them being this bad.

You’re seriously telling me that you can’t see any improvement in the team from Christmas time last season??

If not then I’m afraid that i really can’t help you there..

It's obvious Lampard needs to be given as much time as reasonably possible to build the team. Having said that, I don't think anyone can be totally convinced he's the one who's going to turn us around. This season he benefits from the expectations being so low that anything other than a relegation dogfight will be seen as success.

He has.

Iwobi in his best form under Lampard
Gordon in his best form under Lampard
Pickford in his top form under Lampard
Patterson and Mykolenko have developed to be PL level under him.

A manager can do so much but sometimes it is down to the player. Lampard is not training Gordon to mishit every shot he takes, he doesn’t train Gray to lash it over the bar, he doesn’t train McNeill to under or over hit every through ball.

Not pick them? He doesn’t have any other options at the moment. He dropped McNeill yesterday and his replacement is Rondon. Gordon and Gray have no competition. He doesn’t have any options at the moment up top that are good enough.

Wonder what the mood will be like if we lose the next two prem games which are away. in my opinion is an 80% possibility

Our fans said this for both Martinez and Silva - the writing is slowly on the wall you feel.

I agree Lampard needs more time but he has to improve massively otherwise the DOF will have his heed on the chopping block and rightfully so.

In hindsight the club panicked with Fronk they should have appointed an interim until the seasons end then let Thelwell pick the appointment.

That lad with the spray can has a lot to answer for.

What a horrible set of fans we’ve become, not all I agree but the boo boys are terrible. Who’d want to play for us ffs, no wonder some players have no confidence, miss a pass or give the ball away and straight away they turn on you, we should be encouraging players not calling for their heads each time a mistake is made.
We do deserve everything we get
