2021/22 Frank Lampard

[kenada_blue]

There was never a singular “issue”, but he is still absolutely crap at defending. Doesn’t matter if his Villa team have kept two clean sheets, Michael Keane has kept clean sheets in our defence.

I don't accept that he did lol

Frank always says it how it is - performances aside, that's something we should appreciate. No excuses/bs.

We’ve been asking this if our managers for years, and now we have it a lot of people still aren’t happy.

Come on Frank, get it right today please.

Hopefully the players wont let you down

Under benitez he atleast had the excuse of a decimated squad due to injuries.

For lampard if he doesn’t have that excuse if he doesn’t keep us up. For me lampard is/was a choice of appointment that made relegation a greater possibility, mainly because he has shown in the short 3 years of management that he lacks the ability to set up a defence, and that was with world class defenders at Chelsea.

It was silly of us to hire him now, when a relegation fight relies on a tight defence and 10 men behind the ball to pick up a vital point here and there. A manager that can’t set up a defence + the defenders we have = an utter disaster. Benitez was renowned for being able to set up a defence and he couldn’t work with our defenders, what chance does lampard have?

we still have a chance at staying up, but that’s just because the 3 teams below or around us are utter crap as well.

Yeah mate because that 10 week lay off Mina has had, 5 week layoff Godfrey has had, 3 week lay off Gray has had, Doucoure missing the start of his tenure, DCL nowhere near match fit, Mykolenko in and out with slight knocks don't count for Lampard and only count for Benitez.

I like Frank.. but he’s not doing himself any favours with these team selections.

Let's wait and see. We've generally played 2 CMs at home under Lampard and done all right.

To be fair he is screwed whatever he does, the backline players and holding midfield options simply aren't good enough for this level. I'm just glad not to see Gomes or Allan in the middle of the park.

I hope he makes early subs, Rondon and Ali for the last 25

Injuries and illness. Not a lot he can do about it

Why... what would you have done differently?

 

[TGW89]

Sorry. If he can't keep us up he should not have been appointed. That was the bare minimum requirement of the job. People may not like to hear it, but we'd have been as well off leaving Benitez in place if we were going to replace him with a man who would subsequently take us down.

You're talking shabite mate, look at how we've played at home under Lampard. Apart from about 20 minutes v Burnley in September and that second half v Arsenal we were awful under Benitez. Nothing that wasn't already broken is Lampard's doing.

Anyway, you obviously know everything. So tell me, what happens when we sack Lampard after relgation? Who is the man who gets us up first time of asking despite the stadium costs and wage bill?

And no it isn't Dunc or Unsy, or Jeffers, Ebbrell or any other misty-eyed figure of days past. But I'm all ears pal.

Why would you want that donkey playing?

So can we all agree that Lampard is just as bad as Rafael if not worse? He’s a Championship level manager. LAMPARD OUT!!!

He took over a team absolutely bereft of all confidence and weakened by the kopite rat, who took over a team which finished last season on 59 points.

It’s very obvious what started this rot.

Things are bad enough without bringing the FSW into it via a survey.
