I'm not at all happy with him today.

So suddenly Patterson was set for his debut, was he? Why not earlier, since anybody who has played right back since January has been absolutely atrocious and damaging to us staying in this division. Perhaps if he'd have had more minutes on the pitch he wouldn't have got injured in training as he'd have been sharper and up to speed.

Michael Keane captain? Inexcusable. One last roll of the dice in a desperate attempt to kickstart Keane into action? "I've given you the armband today so go and show those fans that you're worthy of it". Obviously it backfired spectacularly as not only did our captain play a crucial part in our second goal conceded, but he went and got himself sent off as well.

Jonjoe Kenny. Really? We have Branthwaite on the bench, which by itself renders Kenny not needed. We have Godfrey and Holgate available (van de Beek was injured after the starting xi was named), so why isn't one of them playing right back and the other alongside Branthwaite in the middle? Even if van de Beek remains injured, there is still no need for Kenny, even with Keane suspended. Holgate, Brathwaite Godfrey Mykolenko, or Coleman if he's fit again to replace hopefully Holgate.

He's done much worse than I expected, has Lampard, and I am bitterly disappointed with his decision-making. Should have known it was all hot air (the 'got the bollocks' talk post Palace) and that he wasn't going to drop his favourites despite having better options.

That's totally unfair. Worse than expected? What was you expecting ? 6th place with the high spending Derby. And bombed out of is first prem role.

Any expectations are unfounded.
 

Unluckiest manager in the world.

If he had the luck Benitez had we would be rocketing up the table.

Don't you dare say Benitez had bad luck. He had everything going for him. Its his fault.

Its Frank Lampard with the bad luck.

Struggling with what you are trying to say. If it's a sarcastic dig at Lampard although I agree he is a bit naive. I don't see the point because the issues are deeper than him they're actually deeper than any one of the seven managers we have had in six years. Whilst Benitez didn't help with some of his decisions especially discarding two of our most creative players at the root of it is the dysfunctional mismanagement of the club from the top down and the assembly of a squad that isn't good enough and doesn't care enough.

As i allude to ones unlucky ones fully to blame.

Both probably just not good fits at the end of the day.

And agree

Maybe not but who did we have queing up to take the job? We are a mess and it's known in football. I like Lampard as a person whether he's cut out as a manager who knows the issue is even a old fashioned fire fighter wouldn't be making this rabble solid. So the only way out probably is to attack with our resources? But if your forwards aren't showing up either you are deep in the mire. Our only hope in my view is Burnley don't pick up more points than us and that starts with not getting beat on Wednesday. I am not confident though because what Burnley lack in skill they make up for in grit.

Mostly I am disappointed and majorly underwhelmed with his decision making over results, so if I could revise my post I would. His continued reliance and trust in the unholy trinity of Keane, Holgate and Kenny has just disgusted me, trust be told. That alone, in my opinion, will relegate us.

Holgate, if I am not wrong, has started every single game under Lampard. Keane has started all but one, and Kenny all but two. That's three League One/Two standard players playing the lion's share of minutes in a relegation-battling side.
