2021/22 Frank Lampard

No idea mate, it may just have been because Iwobi is taller than him, or perhaps because Mykolenko wasn't considered the better person for the job, Or maybe it was just a cock up. Not right to suggest that our plan was to have a midget taking the post though is it?

I admit I was suprised to learn Iwobi is 1.83. I stand corrected.

Bringing the xG out.

Deffo a kopite.

Make fun of me all you want but don't associate the champions league winners from last year and the Kop.

It's not just about height, you need a fair bit of muscle which iwobi has in spades. You get beaten to [Poor language removed] doing it. I'm only 5,10 myself but strong enough to give the centre forwards a pasting. But these things you can't coach is my point. You can drill and drill all you want, my frustrations are our inability to adapt or adapt to what is in front of you. It's almost like the individual footballers brain as gone if that makes sense

 

[Bkk Andy]

Yes, indeed, but if the Netherlands win the world cup then the pattern is set

Martinez hasn't won anything with the best international team in world football.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Deserves a bit of luck today, even if the gutless players don’t

 

[Toffee_Loaf]

Are you taking the piss?

The performances are worse than they've ever been.
Some xG data to add.

Benitez
Average xG for 1.32
Average xG Against 1.69
Average xG differential -0.375 (15th out of 20)

Very poor sackable form. Even with the caliber of player available much better must be expected.

Lampard
Average xG for 1.02
Average xG against 1.86
Average xG differential -0.833 (19th out of 20)

Must be classified as even more sackable.

Pretty damning. If we end this weekend in the drop zone ... Franko it's time to go?

Need to get rid of the British core for me. Egos too big, mentalities too fragile, fees too expensive and wages far too high.

If we replaced Pickford, Coleman, Kenny, Keane, Holgate, Davies, DCL and Iwobi (yes technically Nigerian but raised in London) we'd be miles, miles better off for it.

Colemans Irish but I get your point lol there's more than just those you listed as well so would agree tbh. Homegrown is an issue though. Wouldnt say completely rid but probably reduce the number if possible for lads who haven't came up thru premier league clubs.

I've been against you Frank but you got it right today when it really mattered and I'm back with you again. Get in!!!!!

 

[COYBL25]

In Frank we trust.

Some of you should hang your heads in shame.

You know who you are.

 

[blue to the bone]

4 more years!!!

 

[Dykovski200]

In Frank we trust

 

[Thomasc]

More of that please Frank.

Me and @ToffeeTim were convinced by you.

Get these mugs into shape and keep us up.

 

[blu87554]

Except the dcl, and richy moving to nine for gray, this was a well managed game for us. Thank you frank lampard!!

 

[ClausThomsen]

Got it right today. Shows you can drill this lot into a side capable of defending.

 

[maccavennie]

Absolutely made up for you Frank.

Best wishes

Frank
