2021/22 Frank Lampard

[blueblood]

Worth rolling the dice and throwing Onyango, Branthwaite, Patterson and Dobbin in the matchday squad. Maybe not starting but certainly as options from the bench. Something needs shaking up and it genuinely can be any worse. If we do go down these boys are likely to be the spine of the team trying to get us back up again. Nothing to lose now.
Gives the crowd a lift and something different for the opposition to think about.

The team selection today was baffling, we haven’t got a decent full back in the squad and yet start the game with three of them on the pitch. Kenny is an honest trier, but that’s all he offers and having him in a back three was truly bizarre. No real height in the team against a side like Wolves, so we were always going to be vulnerable to concede in the way we did. Not convinced at all by Lampard, I don’t remember him even getting a mention after Ancelotti left. He’s a totally unproven manager and it was always going to be a seriously risky appointment.

On Thursday Godfrey has to play left back and we need three in midfield (Allan, Doucoure and Alli).

Alli should be nowhere near the 1st team, looks like football is not his game anymore

He never got Derby promoted so would be a risk keeping him if we went down.

I would keep him if we stay up but unless we win the FA Cup I think we would have to part ways if we did go down.

Move heaven and earth for someone like Dyche and get some pride and work ethic back into this club/squad.

We've tried about seven managers and nothing has changed, if anything it's got worse, so now you want another, what's the point ? The reason I think we are in such a mess, with such a disjointed " team" is because we have about 5 or 6 differing managers players, which makes this team an abomination. Stability is the key, it's probably too late this season, but let's give Frank a chance, at least he has experience managing in the first division.

He’s not learning on the job, he knows how he wants to play, he just has a worse set of tools than both his Derby and Chelsea sides put together

Even in his post match press conference, he admitted he was searching for a solution. As for knowing how he wants to play. How can that be true if he keeps on changing formation and personnel. His job is to make the best of what he has at his disposal.

Benitez was a terrible appointment but he managed 19 points from 19 games. Lampard has 3 points from 6 games. Benitez with essentially the same squad was averaging 1 point per game. Lampard is on 0.5 points per game. One keeps you up, the other gets you relegated.

You are a Liverpool fan, pretending to be an Everton fan on a forum at half ten on a Sunday night though ?

Don't remember him saying that tbh Lou, he said we done OK 1st half but that Wolves were a very well drilled side.

He may have said it like, but the interview I've seen I didn't see him think we deserved anything from it.

The really worrying part of his interview was when he said that when you go behind against a side that plays three at the back you have to change and get more bodies forward. When you are at home how about getting bodies forward and looking to win the game from the off.

The other thing is why complain about not getting many chances because Wolves are well drilled. Well how about doing the work on the training pitch and getting us well drilled. You know what you are paid to do. Or should we have appointed a coach with the experience and nous to drill a side.

And he’s trying to do that, even your boy Klopp strugggled and tinkered during his early run, it’s called trying to get results. Difference is Klopp had a better set of players to work with than Lampard has

Well they appointed a so called coach with the experience and nous to drill a side and he's played a big fat massive Kopite part in helping put us where we currently are.

Says who? You?

Yes. Well spotted

Firstly I am not a Liverpool fan. Secondly, Klopp was appointed part way through the season and still took them to two cup finals. I wish Lampard was struggling like that. Look at the job Eddie Howe has done at Newcastle. That is because both of them are top coaches.

Lampard isn't. He is a poor judge of players and fails to improve players. That is a terrible combination.

Look I am not a fan of Benitez and he was a terrible appointment. However despite a terrible run of injuries he managed 19 points from 19 games. Since then we have managed 3 points from 7 games. Things haven't got better since we sacked him they have got much worse.

Sure your not mate

Look at the job Howe was doing before he got a huge injection of transfer funds in January, they couldn’t buy a win and got turfed out the FA Cup by a League One side on home soil

We are getting relegated the simple fact is the players aren’t good enough, and don’t want it enough to win games. We lack pace, we lack creativity and we have zero defenders and confidence. Not through lampard, through incompetent signings before him and lack of plan. We are terrible, really really bad.

Under Benitez Everton had 19 points from 19 games. A point a game. Not too half form but comfortably clear of relegation in a league including Norwich, Watford and this season’s versions of Burnley and Leeds. Under Lampard the club has 3 points from 6, or 0.17 points a game.

Of course there’s been a long history of bad signings and incompetence at boardroom level, but absolving Lampard of blame is crazy. The teams at the bottom are soooOh bad this year that I find it impossible to believe that even a well past his best Benitez would have been anywhere near where you are at this stage. Heck, even Big Dunc would have done a better job.

Games in hand don’t mean a thing when the team has a porous defence and doesn’t know what it’s trying to do in attack. It will concede at some point and most likely won’t score. So you’re realistically going into every match with a goalless draw as the most realistic hoped for result.

Newcastle will beat you; then what? The way things are going it’s even looking possible that Everton will get overtaken by Watford and Norwich and finish plumb last.

You can say this about any of our players

Am I supposed to be impressed with 19 points from 19 games?

I'm not even saying 3 points from 7 is acceptable because it bloody isn't at all.

But your posting like 19 points from 19 games is OK.

Just to make it clear for you - BENITEZ IS POISON AND WAS A DISGRACE OF AN APPOINTMENT.

Things have got miles better because the horrible, malicious poisonous rat has been removed from the club.
