2021/22 Frank Lampard

If the ref today wasnt corrupt then it would have been seen as a good decision.

You leave yourself open to these things imo when you don’t take opportunities on offer.

Relegated Watford with an injury crisis and we settled for a point for me when he could have pushed on.

Poor game management from the red card I'm afraid.

I guess no CB on the bench meant he was limited in options but as soon as Coleman had to move inside Iwobi was basically destroyed all game by Henry.

And when you're 2-1 up a proven DM simply has to come on.

Does seem a trend with British managers when you think back to some of Moyes deliberations during games and Southgate in major tournaments.

Lampard done well in last few weeks but today shows his limitations.

Isnt Welch a CB?

 

[Wat Tyler]

His midfield set up was nothing short of evil

It was never a good decision for exactly that reason. Anything could've happened today but we had half an hour to take the game to an atrocious Watford side. Instead we settled for a point and left ourselves open to a red card blowing everything apart today.

Got it wrong today and I have been mostly a fan of him. Wrong selection, slow to make subs didn't change the shape till too late. I know he is trying to get continuity and we were gut punched by the red, but that was bad game management.

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

The worst thing he did was settle for a point at Watford.

Agree with this; absolutely shocked that he was happy with a point...

Massive missed opportunity.

Exactly. It was so bleedingly obvious at the time that was our chance to get a crucial 3 points with more difficult games coming up.

 

[T LEAFE]

Will 36 points keep us up?

 

[bignev23]

If we stay up I think it'll have less to do with Lampard more to do with another team being more awful than us.

 

[COYB75]

The Watford game summed us up. Too scared to take it to a team offering absolutely nothing.

and the wins lampard has helped us get

I think that accounts for our whole season.

We've huffed and puffed of late but the lack of quality is so scary.

 

[Toff33Blues99]

Can we just sack this fool regardless of if we stay up. Talking to his assistant for 45 mins about what to is ridiculous. He needed to do something as soon as the red card happened

 

[Baines' left foot]

Yeah, get him gone! That’s what we need!

Worrying thing for me is he has an entourage of coaches, yet none of them had the balls to tell him he needed to make changes.
