2022/23 Frank Lampard

[kev101]

Sack him and it's more of the same from the board, though. Lampard has underperformed, nobody is denying that, but the board have been worse and for 6 years. Replace the board and then make a decision on the coaching staff. That is the only way forward.

But that is not going to happen before we go down. We need to do something now! and a new manager is the only option available.

posters on here mate lol i’m guessing he’s said he’s not heard he’s getting sacked?

No nothing like that

I just didn't think there was anything in the interview to read that much into. He was still way too bullish I thought if anything

We`ve proved in some games we can score, I feel the manager hamstrings our goal scoring with his tactics....

1 game we've proved we can score - Palace at home. Or have I missed other games where our midfielders and strikers were slotting for fun?

 

[Eidean]

Bit disingenuous that. We set up right and played much better.. a combination of bad luck & equally bad ref calls were the main reason we lost tonight really.

Looking half decent for 20 minutes doesn’t stop the fact he’s won 4 in 21 & currently 1 in 12.

Is the bar really that low that he gets another game? We chased Benitez out the club after 1 win in 13.

It showed the offside and it looked like some dodgy photo finish from the 3.35 at Beverley! Was it his toe or arm pit hair this time

Even if they started replacing the board it wouldn't happen overnight and if it takes until say March we'll already be stuck right amongst the bottom 3.

say if a new manager can’t get us playing bettter? we’re gone in my eyes

We could replace the manager and be in that same position, though. The problems have been caused by the board.

Terrified old Bill think this is like when Moyes finished 17th, football doesn't work that way anymore and we need a new manager NOW or else our 70 year stay in the top flight is in jeopardy

 

[helpimonfire]

when he’s going mate? it’s not tonight or tomorrow or the next day…

Sooner the better. Hopefully by the morning.

Harsh on him tonight. The sooner he leaves the better.

bet he’s not

The problem with "giving him Southampton" is that if it goes wrong then we have lost a six-pointer, wasted yet another plausibly winnable game under a new man, and lost more time to get a new man in...who will then have next to no time to use the window.

The whole point of replacing Frank after Brighton - at the latest - was to give us the best chance to save the season. If we're not going to pull the trigger now, then the upside of a new man is hugely diminished by the delay. At that point, we may as well stick with Lampard. The damage will already be done.

Well then we are gone regardless but this gives us a fighting chance. Four wins all season if this was any other manager they'd be calling for his head

I am now bored of the board

lol
