Totally agree. He's got to go 4-3-3 every game now and I mean 3 midfielders not 2 and a forward.

We cannot keep sacking managers, we have to stick with what we have and get behind him and the team. That’s the truth that some may not like but it is the truth.

For the most part, Lampard was a good player who pretty much only ever played with other good players his whole career (which adds an advantage), then did a middling job before managing a Chelsea team of good players, doing a middling job there.
Whoever thought he'd be able to do a job with a team that struggled under Champions League winning managers is clearly insane tbh.
Lampard would have made sense if the academy was bursting with the next Stones/Barkley/Rooney/Rodwell types that needed blooding, in a similar way that Arteta has done at Arsenal, but not when you're already sinking into a relegation battle. I don't buy that there isn't a manager who could do a decent job with this lot, but you need specific types of managers who are suited to this kind of squad. Unfortunately, they'd be unfashionable ones, like your Moyes/Allardyce/Bruce types - win ugly, get the points, reset a little. Can't pass your way out of the bottom 4.

If only we had enough midfielders and more importantly midfielders that can play...
Stop playing 5 at the back ffs

He sent this team out motivated and ready to play.
You could see in the first 20 mins - we were on fire.
I said in the match thread that the Townsend injury would be momentum changing and it proved to be the case. I think we scored early on we would have won that game.
I’m not blaming frank for this.

As manager you can't just hammer the players every week in public, so what he says in private might be different.
I'd like to see him criticise himself as well as the players today.

Think of it this way. This fragile squad somehow got a win vs barcodes 48 hours ago.
Now let those frauds believe that they maybe able to save us from relegation. But putting their tired fragile legs in an irrelevent FA cup game under the circumstances takes their confidence to grave.
Play youngsters, nothing to lose. Get beat, who cares. Now the 1st team knows they're indeed doomed in PL.
Didn’t take long did it… good god some people in this thread.
Must add, don't give one jot about the cup myself.
