2022/23 Frank Lampard

[Littlesue]

If Lampard does not work out, we need to go for Pochettino. I wanted him before Carlo.

Villa lined up for him

In Frank We Trust

Get him some forwards and stop hanging him out to dry

There is absolutely no point hounding managers when the squad has no forwards.

Honestly, what would anyone else do when the forward choice is Rondon?

This situation is ridiculous and no one decent would touch us with a barge pole if we got rid of FL on the basis of this current squad.

Still have my doubts about FL but this is a good post.

You can give a manager 10 years - if he’s not up to it, he’s not up to it.

Lampard is overrated because he’s English and was one of the best midfielders in Europe. Same with Gerrard. Both aren’t good to manage big Premier League clubs.

Frank does need until Xmas because we can judge our league position by then. Plus he earned that by taking over from the waiter and giving us hope.

But the jury on Lampard as a manager is out for now.

Jury doesn't seem to be out for you when reading your posts.

Didn’t he play 5 at the back against United?

Yup and I’m sure I saw a stat showing uniteds away record and most teams had beaten them by 2 goals or more some even scored 4 goals past them whereas we scraped a 1-0 win with a deflected goal and defended for our lives as Man Utd piled the pressure and pushed for the equaliser. Hardly a convincing performance.

Ok so Graham Potter also plays a back 5 then. Just checking.

It's not so much the system,it's having the players to execute it and then if those at your disposal can't having the good sense to find one that they can.

Takes more than 4 games to embed a system. Let Lampard get his players in, let them get used to the system, maybe reserve judgement over a longer period than three league games.

The plan is to keep it tight at the back, we have that part looking decent, so far, we just need to add players who can attack.

As ive said, people just dont like 3 at the back and will only accept it if it works, so far it should be said its not working.

But lets see what happens.

Not saying it's his fault, leaving it this late to bring in players hasn't helped him but there is every chance we go into the derby with one point on the board and a dispirited team on the pitch. Wasn't impressed by his Q&A on the preseason tour in the US.
