2022/23 Frank Lampard

coz we don’t have them lol
still think goals in this team we’d be ok

I still do.

But Ive argued that as long as we're not losing games or getting tonked we'd be fine till the cavalry arrives.

Then we concede 11 goals in 4 games and score 2 so there's nowhere to hide.

Then City up next.

Beyond horrific.

don’t get me wrong i like him and think with better players we would be better.

i actually think they won’t pull the plug yet coz they’re f n idiots

and when ian dowie is the manager and we still have these crap players

it’s hello championship

We don’t have to choose between Lampard and Ian Dowie mate

 

[kenada_blue]

Unless he has some signings lined up, I think he is going soon. It's a shame and I think he will be gutted too. But it's one step to me stopping supporting a football team and that s good

Won't stop supporting. But I'll be apathetic about the whole thing like a battered house wife who can't leave. Just numb to it.

For me, Rafael is a better manager than Frank ! Sorry guys, stats don’t lie

Well ye of course. That's like saying 'if we won games we'd be ok'

He is a cart. He sacked James and Digne off who were our most creative players at the time.

I'm not one for sacking managers, however, I've seen zero improvement in his time here, regression arguably.

There is zero intensity, takes two, three or four touches to play the ball that's on in one. Full backs generally curtailed and clearly told to play it safe.

But for me, it's the defensive side of things that's inexcusable. We defend like an international side. We just drop into a formation, nothing more. There is zero organised press. The odd time it happens, there is no trigger, it's just one, occasionally two players off their own back. That for me is unforgivable, he's been here long enough to organise and sort that out, that he hasn't speaks volumes.

I don't think we have the worst team in the league, only just better than a couple, but I do think we are the most poorly set up and coached side in the league.

This. No team can survive in this league without an organise team press. we press individually(half hearted) and some players just stroll around exposing passing options everywhere to be exploited.

Would you take him back then?

 

[nsno-chris]

He had money to spend in the summer and bought Midfielders who can’t score a dire winger, and a striker allergic to goals.

I agree, Kevin Thelwell has failed massively

 

[kenada_blue]

Said in my previous post we've got 5 points out of 21 against Wolves (18th), Forest (19th), Southampton (20th), Bournemouth (14th), Leicester (13th), Villa (12th), West Ham (16th).

We're looking to get points against better sides to survive.

At least Lampard has admitted we're in a relegation scrap

 

[LocalNative]

Lol

 

[PhilM]

When you see things like that, it’s hard to not argue for Lampard’a position to be considered.

 

[Gilbert..]

Yep.
But if we had junior stanislas , Dominic solanke, kiefer Moore and jaydon Anthony as our attacking options do you think we would be doin better

Are they any worse than the options right now? Probably not.
Everton fans over hype even our average players. I stayed out of the alex iwobi thread for a while as i thought it was cringe. People going on like he was suddenly luka modric.
We dont have that many good players. They get paid a lot more than those at other clubs we look down on. But thats because Everton over pay for bland players.

Villa pulled the trigger on Gerrard and brought in one of the most decorated managers in European football over the past decade. Why aren't we able to follow suit? They were a Championship team until relatively recently. We will be a Championship team next season. We spend tens of millions on crap players and pay them £100k a week.

Villa have the foresight to make the change before the turd hits the fan, so the job isn’t completely unattractive. Everton will persist with failing managers until it gets to absolutely disastrous levels, and the job becomes highly unattractive to potential replacements.
