Is this is a trick question?

lol lol

….from what Lampard says, we’ll be playing on the front foot. Less emphasis on allowing the opposition to have possession and hit them on the break.

i think you can beat many teams in this league with that approach. Whilst being strong defensively is always a factor, i doubt Lampard will build his team on defence,

Can’t really argue with that plan, if that’s what’s he said?

 

[matty1878]

no DM then ?

If someone said at the beginning of the window that we’d be bringing in a right back, two midfielders, and a winger to add to the squad, most people wouldn’t have believed it.

Somebody on Twitter said exactly that a few months ago now, I forget who, I told them they were chatting bubbles.

Why is no one interested in our players?

What is it about our serial loser, gutless, incompetent, disinterested, overpaid, entitled, mediocre playing squad that doesn't attract you, fellow clubs of world football?

2 fullbacks, 3 midfielders in 1 window, all for a combined fee of a few pence.

Marcel Brands has done it again.

I know?, I wonder if because they all know they’re crap

Don't forget a manager that has given the fan base a boost rather than division.

We have 5 at the moment, not a priority is it really?
Let the coaches get working with them, they haven't become bad footballers in the space of 6 months

It has taken some of them much longer than that to reach their current levels.

The new lads are all fairly tall as well so helps defending set pieces

That's the big blot from this window.

My hope is the new energy and, hopefully, quality - combined with renewed positive mentality from a new manager - will relieve the burden on the defence and ultimately save us having to rely on our circus at the back as much.

I think the thinking with the signings we’ve made is ball retention, and that helps all departments. Yeah, the quality of our defending hasn’t been great but that’s magnified so much by the *quantity* of defending they have to do because so often we just gift the ball straight back.

Players who can put their foot on the ball and play a few passes give the defence a breather and let them get set in shape. So I think that strange as it sounds buying these players might do more for our defending than buying defenders would.

I do understand Lampard and the club seeing that we needed more quality through the midfield. That makes sense.

I think the slightly concerning thing is that we've been shipping goals all season and we've signed neither a number 6 to protect our defence nor a centre back.
