2022/23 Frank Lampard

It would be ridiculous to sack another manager now, the club needs stability, Frank Lampard needs to be given time. If he's at the helm when the ship sinks then it's on him. This is his team.

COYB!

John.
 
Based on the players we have, how do YOU expect us to score?
By getting the ball wide and crossing it in- but the team was set up with no wide players who can cross a ball well. Or by moving the ball quicker to create space and stretch their defence, but there weren’t enough attacking players on the pitch to do that. Or by playing someone closer to Calvert-Lewin so when he won the ball in the air, someone in a blue shirt might get on the end of it.
 
Glad you've come around ;)

Problem now is all the home "bankers" Dyche could of had, have been lost.

Yes, but there's an argument that teams safely outside the relegation zone but out of Euro contention are the ones you want to be up against in the last 10-15 games or so.

There's still a lot of games to get clear.

The first step is getting Frank out. As said, the Wolves game persuaded me he was done here. A more experienced manager takes a point and moves on. He went for it...once too often in my mind.
 
I think there are other factors at play.

There may be difficulties in paying off Lampard and his quite large entourage.

Not likely to be money available either.

But I guess the fact we haven't done any business is telling in itself in that they may be reluctant to sanction any spending whilst Lampard is there.

Either way, every minute he's there brings us closer to the drop.

How much time do you give him had plenty of chances wolves brighton and last game southampton has lost them all. Cant just say the tram is bad manager has to be looked at
 

Worryingly most of the players are still trying. It would be typical if we got a negative new manager bounce because the players for once didn’t want to throw FL under the bus, because he believes in them and cuddles them back to confidence when they get called names, or when the media expect too much of them just because Chelsea offered £90m for them. They’ll down tools for the new manager for a cruel twist in the story.

Just have no idea what style he is going with this team, the standard of football we watch this team play is shocking.
 

Dave, can I put it to you this way? If you were a manager who was in any way competent, would you come to this circus and have little or no transfer budget? We are the epitome of a club in crisis, there is no way back for the board or the owner after the events of the past few days and we will just continue to stagnate untill somebody is stupid enough to but Moshiri out.
If you were Dyche or anyone else you'd say: "hand me a contract with a decent wage and make it for 3 years if I pull this survival off".

A confident manager will look at 18 games left to change matters and sign up to that. It's a free hit really: most outsiders will say that whomever it is will be on a hiding to nothing and they wont suffer reputational damage if they cant arrest the decline.

It was the one criticism we used to have of Everton a few years ago, that they had their ‘flip flops on’….of for those Halcyon days!
