2021/22 Frank Lampard

[dannyboy]

He is, he’s a winner. Has been his entire career, he’s achieved things we’ll never witness, that’s the mentality you want

Don't think anyone could doubt his ability as a player but that doesn't necessarily translate as a manager. We can only hope I guess.

He won 3 out of his first 4.

I am.

Why are you asking ?
Do you need someone to help you out as you dig a deeper hole with each post

come back to me when you’ve done that poll of your staff, boy

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

I am a manager of 118 people, if they dont perform, the responsibility lies with me, not them
Blaming your team is called abdication of duty

Ok so lets say that you take responsibility for the 118 people you mange and they don't perform regularly. Its your responsibility so presumably you're getting the sack right? Ok, cool. So what happens if those 118 staff members are still crap and don't perform under the person that takes over you? That manager gets the sack to yeah? And the same thing happens to the next boss after that and the one after that and the one after that? And all the while those 118 members of staff just get to keep their jobs and avoid any accountability at all? Amazing. Sounds like the company you work for is as moronic as Everton FC.

Ronald Koeman was a winner. A far greater and more successful winner than Frank. How is Ronald these days?

No matter what formation frank picks its always going to be the same out come today, these players carnt play together,

I mean, he’s managed 2 teams before us and done ok.

He’ll be a great manager over the years

You took great delight in seeing Rafael lose week in week out towards the end of his reign.

Now you can't accept that his better looking replacement is equally as bad.

You bad camel.

If you are @Theoneandonly you've quite impressively run the two accounts simultaneously.

Could be coincidence. If so I take back my Jim Carey gifs.

Just put his second onto the fringe of a Par 5 green.
Could make the Eagle, but I’d say a birdie is nailed on.

I think he's the first manager to question the players' mentality and fight. I am sympathetic to players' confidence (e.g. maybe younger players, and some more experienced who need an 'arm around their shoulder' to perform) but if it's a basic problem of not fighting hard enough or not running enough - basic fitness and physical issues, then i'm happy to question them. I think after Martinez, who was possibly just 100% nice to his team and maybe not critical enough, Koeman who seemed apathetic, the rest of them were just not deep into player management it seemed. I think Lampard will be, if he's given time. I think the only reason he might leave is if the backroom, behind the scenes, players management, boardroom - all that top to bottom change we are looking for - does not change. Otherwise he might see this is an amazing opportunity to show what he's made of as a manager.

Sure about that ?

Ronald Koeman was an egotistical bell though.

If Lampard came across like that then I’d agree; but he doesn’t. He’s driven to achieve the very best.

Poor comparison

Dont Say that FFS,
you will get all sorts of average players listed in a minute like, Conte, Mancini etcc

Fat, mildly depressed, rich, on a golf course. But OK, that's football!

 

[sd_1992]

The only manager who seems to have come in and truly taken the measure of the squad. Crawl through to the summer and let him utterly gut the squad (even if that is in the championship).

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Who was the better midfielder though ? Gerrard or Lampard ?

Roy Keane is the correct answer.
