2021/22 Frank Lampard

[maccavennie]

At some point this becomes his fault no? I mean I'm not expecting him to be Conte but it didn't take Conte a season and a half to at least start resembling what he wants them to be.

And for what feels like the billionth time I'm not on about it being tedious to watch (although it obviously is) I'm on about it not being a sustainable way of winning. At some point getting outshot, outpossessed, outchanced and frankly just straight up outplayed stops producing even the 42 point pace that he had us on and that we're apparently happy about.

Finally yes, keepers making saves is their job, good managers understand what the word save means and realize that their job is to prevent the danger from happening in the first place.

Oh sorry I must have missed Lampard having a season a half.

Oh and next time I see Pep and Klopp I'll tell them what an absolute crapshow of a job they're doing when the likes of Ederson or Allison make game changing saves when the opposition have the absolute cheek of trying to break through and create an opportunity.

One site had us higher than 55% going into the Chelsea game iirc. Winning that game saved us and anyone saying we didn't have a healthy slice of luck on that day is deluded, sorry to say.

what luck? that shot hitting Pickford in the face? is that it or are there more?

You do realize part of the reason those teams are so good is that they don't need the keepers to do that more than a handful of times a season? That's why when they do it is so massive, because they steal points on one of the few occasions they're at risk for dropping them.

Klopp literally said this after the CL final.

Well the other miracle save came from a shot that was a CM from going in

You are not using Klopp to win a point here, are you? Everyone and their dead grandmas knows he chats wham.

Goalkeepers are allowed to make good saves.

To be honest, straight after the final whistle for that Chelsea game, the first thing I checked was how did we do xG wise.

When I noticed we lost, I cried myself to sleep that night.

Who cares about results when you only make 6 progressive passes from Zone 6 to Zone 14?

 

[blue to the bone]

Why do ye even try debate with the melon ?

Relying on your goalkeeper is bad management, full stop. No top manager does it. They buy a good one and try to make him redundant.

So you didn't tally that up in your head during the game? Weird

Well they can't have a discussion with you

You are a very odd excel spreadsheet

thats not a healthy slice of luck though Biggie. i`d say luck was when Tottenham got off with a penalty when their goalie fouled Richey. Ayew shouldve seen red - those things to me are `luck` not Pickford being in the right place at the right time

No because I'm not an arrogant, condescending, pompous wham chatting , stat loving virgin .

Lol at this, it’s like you forget the opposition team is actually trying to score as well.
