Benitez still has pet journos, who are terrified of saying anything bad about him, just in case he gets another job in English footy and blackballs them.
Interesting. So, wouldn't that make him a pretty good manager if he is managing the media to that extent?
 

So it is do or die tomorrow. If this coward team starts off passively and reactive instead of proactive. They deserves to go down:

I hope Lampard is able to motivate our hopeless squad. We expect nothing but all out effort.

No more strolling around with only one player pressing.
 
I am no fan of Lampard - no record, don't rate him - but if he cannot have his team up for what is, essentially, the last-chance saloon match tomorrow from minute 1, then he should be summarily sacked. There is simply no excuse for the team and crowd tomorrow not to be in a frenzy.

I think this is flawed completely. If anyone is up for this game it's Frank Lampard. If the players can't get themselves up for it, that's the issue and has been the issue for many seasons now.
 
The issue was that he wasted the first half of his time here tinkering. Only now has he found the right formation and tactics for this group of players. It's too late as key games were wasted against Southampton, Newcastle, wolves and spurs. I think Rafael would have played the way Frank has since the west ham game which has had us performing considerably better and it would likely have kept us up on the balance of things.

But from now I don't see any point sacking him, it was just the wrong man at the wrong time, but I don't think he's wrong man if we do go down. In fact I think we just need to let him get on with it and hope he gets us straight back.

He still has a chance this season but its going to take the players to change drastically and become significantly better. If Leeds lose to City I think 3 wins for us could be enough but I fear it will more likely be 4 needed and its very difficult to see this group getting that.

The manager's job is to put a team on the pitch that is up for it. Otherwise, we might as well appoint you as manager.

Once the players cross that line. It's down to them mate. Do you really think another manager is going to do any better with this lot?

Like do you honestly hand on heart believe that?

Yes. Yes, I do. We appointed a novice with NO track record to talk of. He has NO managerial CV other than having been appointed above his level due to name recognition as a player. We are now seeing the result of such folly.

Bit of a mad assertion that there’s nobody who could get more points than Lampard has.

Burnley have just gone on a run with a manager who has zero experience. Whatever he’s doing is working.

I suppose the question is, would you rather have Burnley's squad or ours? We are all kinds of terrible but we should be going down at the expense of them.
