2022/23 Frank Lampard

[TheBigIguana]

Pickford

Patterson - Coady - Tarkowski - Mykolenko

Garner ------ Onana

------- McNeil --- Iwobi --- Gray/Gordon

Dom/Maupay​

Until we get more players through the door he should be persisting with this XI & system. Deploying Onana further forward hasn't worked - he needs to work on being a number 6 (at least for now) and give Garner a proper crack at carrying/playing the ball through the midfield. Iwobi either needs to be deployed as the most advanced central midfielder or at RCM in a 4-3-3. The likes of Mills & Cannon also need to continue getting minutes IMO.

Until Garner actually does something I don't see any point in starting him

Can we maybe start him on the basis that Gueye has been an abomination?

Yeah, cos you never held this view with Iwobi did you? For somebody who likes yoot players, you seem to be quite harsh on players of a certain colour.

Nah I mean does something as in has a skill he's going to bring to the team. Obviously he can't make an impact without playing but when he does play what's he going to do?

No because that's not true and Garner doesn't bring anything

Dunno, other than the minutes hes had here I have no idea.

I bet he is deeply regretting that team selection at Bournemouth last week for the Caribou cup.

He is currently making a rod for his own back.

As I've said a few times now I just don't see what he's meant to be. If he's a passer he's not shown that. If he's a ball winner I can't see that given his speed and movement. He's not box to box. What are we looking for here? Answer that for me and we can talk starting matches.

I would say we need to see him play, to see what he brings and I dont mean coming on when the team is 2-0 down and heads have dropped all over the park.

This is the problem with signing young players, they need to grow.

We have added 11 or 12 new players over the last 11 months, it honestly takes time to bed them in, regardless of the manager.

Sorry what?

 

[TheBigIguana]

Sorry what?

We literally did this for 3 years and we're back to it inside 3 months. Just crazy.

What are you going on about?

 

[TheBigIguana]

What are you going on about?

The Gana isn't good stuff. Watching the game without seeing it.

Well he’s been absolutely terrible in the past 3 months, what relevance does that have to 3 years ago?
