I like Lampard and think realistically he's the best we can hope to attract right now. That said I will be surprised if he is still our manager at the start of next season.

I would say Terrier is a replacement for Richarlison... who we haven't replaced, we are missing his work rate, threat and ability massively.
We dont just need a striker, we need to replace Richalison.
We are an absolute shambles at transfers I swear.
Yeah a striker alone isn’t going to cure anything. For me if Gordon is to go we need 4 players.

Striker
Richarlison and Gordon replacements. Ideally these 2 will be creative players that can play across the front 3.

Is Da still playing - loves scoring at Anfield and Frank must know him well ?

Ive been banging on about it for 2 seasons now, we have little creativity, last season we gutted any creative player we have - and left us with nothing.
Its even worse now the work rate of Richarlison has gone, his work rate alone created things we wouldn't normally create.
We absolutely need in, another midfielder, Richarlison replacement, another striker (preferably a decent one who will push DCL and probably play a lot of games this season) and someone else who is creative.
Not sure if thats a Gordon replacement or someone else - but its clear we are massively short upfront.

No press connie today for Frank ahead of tomorrow's game?
Our front three would struggle in the Championship.
We'll struggle to stay in the league with the front three we have.
That gives Lampard an even bigger mitigation than what we should already have, 3 games into the season.
I do worry for him though. All about results, and that front three aren't going to get him good ones.

We have a squad that severely lacks goals, no matter who the manager is, what formation he plays or subs he makes, that won’t change unless the board bring more players in.
His hands are tied. We can’t judge him properly until he gets backed by the board.

When I'm watching Howe get a 3-3 draw against City and Marsch battering Chelsea with a Leeds team made up of championship/random foreigners/yank signings, I have to wonder if Frank has got enough in his locker even with more signings tbh. We REALLY need a strong end to the window imo otherwise I fear this could be the year.
I've already said myself if he gets the signings in he wants by the end of the window and after that we're still rubbish, maybe he's just not up to it.

It’s going to take more than 1 transfer window to sort the squad out.
Is he to blame for our front three?
I mean sure, but we'll have replaced more than half the starting XI then.

I don't get it though. Yes he has a loyalty to the board because they're the ones paying his salary. Yes it's very obvious that this front three is possibly the worst three that's ever been sported by a club in the top flight. Yes we all know that new players are desperately needed. So why can't he, for lack of a better word, just be frank about it instead of constantly skirting around the issue, making up lies (we didn't need a striker until DCL got injured which we could never have foreseen) to protect the board?
Look at so many other managers, Tuchel, Klopp, Conte, in fact most of them, they wouldn't be sat there week on week failing to address the elephant in the room, they'd be saying their hands are tied until a striker is brought in, not talking in riddles and refusing to give direct answers. He's done himself no favours whatsoever by covering for the board, imo.
I'd say he just comes across as a massive 'yes' man who is taking the hit for the club's inability or refusal to back him, which will ultimately be incredibly damaging to his career once he's ultimately sacked this season at some stage.

No he certainly isn't
When are we ever going to be ready for the start of the season, 3 games in and we're badly short of new players, Frank being hung out to dry by previous mismanagement of funds.
Must be difficult to attract/keep players the state we're in.
