Wierdly think if we stay up (we will now imo) then just how difficult a learning step this has been for him as a manager
(one he seems to have noticably learned from too) can be the experience that takes him from a manager with promise but really raw (naive maybe) and into one who is at that next level.

For me mate, when he's talking it comes across as completely open too, not bs, think any other way it's seen through pretty quickly by us - the old saying about Scousers easily spotting bs'ter comes to mind.

We've had a host of managers spew the line about getting the club and fans, the words are easily said, I'm judging it on actions, and Lampard gives off every single sign he does indeed 'get us'. What did Bally say again, think this is a case of it in point

I think Lampard seems a bit astonished, that given the rubbish we've been served up, the fans still get wholeheartedly behind the team. He's probably not used to that at Chelsea at all. These things can move people.

I actually think he has been quite calm through what has been a very difficult time. Barring the comment after the Burnley game he's not thrown players under the bus, and when he did, he got a response.

I say this cautiously, as this lot have thrown ever manager under the buss after a few games, including Ancelotti who is an exceptional man manager, but it does feel like we are improving and getting closer to being a competitive team. We have been competitive most games recently. Weve been unlucky in some games, and lucky in others, but have been in the fight. I still have nightmares they throw the towel in these last 5 games, but think the fan support has probably helped in that regard,

Imho that was absolutely justified, and as mentioned - I like that he seems to get responses out of the players instead of tantrums.

Thing is like them or loathe them, Lampard is a west ham lad at heart, and of the London clubs they are probably the most 'down to Earth'' ones who at their old ground had a similar bear pit support.
 
How good is it having a manager who buys into and cares about the club? No one really knows how he'll turn out in the long run but it's just a breath of fresh air. The connection with the fans is brilliant.

Compare it to the likes of Koeman and Benitez who didn't care about anything past their pay cheque.

Yeah makes a change having someone here who actually seems like footy matters to him on a personal level, unlike a fair few of our recent managers.

Given the utter crap situation we've been falling deeper and deeper into, wierdly optimistic having him in charge. Oh Everton you suck me back in.

Funny thing about Lampard as a player is he lacked every single thing that people tend to look for in a younger player, no pace, pretty small, technically decent but nothing special, but he had all the intangibles that aren't easily seen at first glance. Able to pass on even half of what he has in terms of brain and desire to younger players then he has possibly a great chance of being a very good manager going forward.

Loved him as a player.
Never gave up, made the absolute most of the talent he had and a born winner. Hopefully bodes well for his coaching career
