I always give a new Manager 12 games to judge how he copes etc - poor Frank has to hit the ground running just to stabilise us, a very hard task ....

Indeed if the worst happens frank is ideal to fetch us straight back up - although I think he will keep us in the premiership ....

Too true Joey. Me I want to give him his term and have faith.

I think bringing Paul Clement with him was a good move. Well respected coach, highly regarded by many.

I wonder if Lampards penchant for wingbacks will see a return for Nkounkou?

I never understood why we loaned him out in the first place to be fair - would’ve contributed a fair bit this season if Benitez wasn’t a clown

I could see our LB slot being well covered by Nkounkou and Mykolenko for the future. Both are a huge downgrade from Digne, whose transfer a week before Benitez' sacking is a black mark against the management, or lack, of at our club. But Nkounkou at home in games we will be on the front foot and Mykolenko when we are away against the top 6 seems like reasonable coverage. They both might get a chance with a more progressive manager in charge.
Benitez was really bad, never gave young players much of a chance but also got rid of any senior pro he saw as a challenge to his authority. Left us with mediocrity on the pitch and no passion.

Yes, this could be a very important factor. They did get Guimaraes who has an excellent reputation, but must feel a little underwhelmed besides.
It could have been a different story facing them next week if they had made 2 or 3 more significant additions.
The game next week is critical obviously, for us and them. A draw would not be a disaster by any means but if we could get three points, in Lampards first league game, it would be a massive massive result for us and them.
Frank seems much more likable than the last few managers so I'm willing to give him a shot. I like the staff he has built around him as well. UTFT

I listened to those podcasts and I thought that their criticism was a little flimsy. Most of it centered around the fact that one of them has a personal dislike for Lampard, and another saying that he hadn't achieved enough. The same person then went onto say that Slippy G is doing a fantastic job at Villa, and was a great appointment. If you ask me, guiding a middling Derby side to a Playoff final is much more of an achievement than winning the SPL with one of the only 2 teams that ever wins that league. You literally have a 50% chance of winning the league with either Rangers/Celtic, the championship is an extremely hard league to navigate. I will be judging Frank on his Everton performances and that's it.
Sink or swim Joey.
We just need to get to the end of the season safely and start again.

SaId in the summer transfer thread I think we are sorted on lb with our new guy and Nkounkou returning from loan, both imo will fit the system Lampard likes to play, think Patterson will fit it too, if we have anyone in the academy who also does it boxes off that position.
