2022/23 Frank Lampard

You mean when he had a massive injury crisis?

Ultimately, he saved us from relegation in his first half season, and then gave us ‘good times’ up until Christmas when the injuries took over and he had to go to 4 CBs.

Still got the most points per game for us by a considerable margin since Martinez and we were never going on runs of 1 win in 12. He found ways to get results even with a depleted squad.

Hell, he beat the RS at the pit with a midfield of Davies, Gomes and Doucoure. If that’s not good management then I don’t know what is.

If he saved us from relegation then Allardyce did.
 

Why are people still talking like he will be sacked before the next game?

It's very clear that he is in charge this weekend, and will be sacked if he doesn't win. There is no point posting every few minutes to say he should be sacked.
I think that is exactly the situation.

Anything less than a home win against Southampton will see him lose his job... maybe a draw might get him another week to play West Ham but I am not convinced of that.

I think it may be that any transfer activity is being stalled to see what happens in the next two or three games.

You could be right, but that would be absolutely ludicrous

No matter who the manager is, we need forward signings. Without them, we have no chance under any manager.

True, but we allowed Big Sam to sign Tosun and Walcott in the five months he was in charge and that didn't turn out well.
We are still in the first half of the season and there are lots of points to play for , if we do sack FL and appoint somebody else then I would guess the new man would prefer not to have somebody brought into the club days before he himself was appointed.

I would be confident that discussions have taken place in the background to check on the availability of managers like Dyche, Pochettino and others.

Even West ham announced Moyes has two games to save his job, silence from ours
 
I feel like he's going to keep getting the odd result in extremely favourable circumstances, like against Southampton on Saturday, and it'll be enough to let him stumble on until it's too late.

If it's true that Moshiri hasn't been to a game since Benitez was sacked, he's obviously not in the least bit arsed now. I don't think he even has a representative on the board anymore.

I view it as the other way round. If Allardyce was brought in to save us, and supposedly did as so many claim he did, then Carlo also did as we were lower in the table, closer to the relegation zone points wise and with less games left to play when he took over.

But it comes down to semantics and how pedantic you want to be. As I don’t actually think we were are risk of relegation in either situation. Whereas we were last season and we are this season.

Its come to the point where I'd be surprised if he gets a result against Southampton
 
It's much more negligent to be 9 days into the window and not have signed any attackers when they've literally known what was needed for 7 months.
Nah… everything is about lampard. Absolutely nothing wrong with the squad. Dyche will come in and have us flying up the league with an attack that can barely score, a midfield that can’t pass or tackle and a defence with no aggression.

No problem whatsoever
 
We played well and drew against City away and then got battered 4 - 1 by Brighton at home. We played well against United away but still got beat 3 - 1 and we then play fellow relegation battlers Southampton this Saturday who will know exactly how to rattle us. Considering we have only won 1 in the last 12 and 3 all season and made no new signings yet whatsoever i am not even a tiny bit optimistic. I have Deja Vu.
