2022/23 Frank Lampard

[Neiler]

He’s doing a lot well and building, coaching well, man managing players and I’m grateful for that, I still think he has to develop himself as a manager though, game day and during in particular, hopefully it comes with more experience.

He's been sucessful in building a buoyant mood around the squad more than anything else. His work fixing that defence in the transfer window has made it very difficult for opponets to get points off us too. But we are lacking in terms of cracking opponents open. I'd love to see a genuine playmaker here.

I think credit does need to go to Frank for noticing that we need more “robust” players because it’s doing the job so far.

I have to say though that what I think Frank has seen is that this league is quite poor outside the top few teams and you can go quite far with a bit of steel about you. Basically it is exactly what David Moyes has relied on his whole career and it’s done him well for West Ham in the last few years. I wouldn’t mind seeing Everton have some of the European nights they have had in the last few years

That's got to be the platform. If he gets us back to that he's done a great job.

[coollino]

Seems to be the first time in ages that everyone within the club seems actually happy

 

[Connor]

I like him, really him

The dude understands football mate, his recruitment bar McNeill is very good, right blend of combos youth and experience, in the right areas, football 101, get solid and and play the margins. Box ticked.

Coaching Wise he’s improved a lot of the players, how he turned Iwobi into a player is staggering, young Flash has kicked on and almost everyone else.

Man management, the team has desire and wants to play for him, we haven’t had that since Bobertos first season. He’s won the crowd over as well and everyone is pulling in the same direction.

To my mind, its the manager peice, recognising when the game needs an intervention, when you need to change to control a game and when you need to take the sting out of it to get a result. He seems to keep the foot on the throttle or over trusts players when a change seems it would change the dynamic.

We won the game today by luck and the seat of our pants, we lost control of the game after the second goal, other teams won’t be so kind. His approach will I think prove to be a bit boom and bust as we go on, just my take and all that said it’s part of his development.

Today is an example we lost control of the game after the second goal, much could have been done from the bench to regain a foot hold, thats the area he needs to improve. Say it was Moyes we know what he would have done. Another day against different opposition, we loose or draw today given how the game unfolded.

Also agree we need a central playmaker or really any playmaker who can mix it up, we weren’t going to do all in one window and Garner may be that solider also, so it’s not a dead Mouse I’d leave at his door just yet. But what we do will be worked out in short order and going direct or banging in crosses will get you so far only as teams work us out and adjust.

Where does he play Dave?

I get it, we do have space on the wings, but wide playmakers are pretty hard to find and the midfield 3 looks pretty nailed.

 

[Ron manager]

Was slightly nonplussed by Franks appointment but “the proof of the pudding” seems to show a man getting the job done. Clearly intelligent (but not in that cocky bullshitter way) he seems to have players buying into his message and slowly but surely it’s beginning to take shape.

Notably, that key ingredient of a good hit rate in the transfer market is proving transformative and hopefully it continues because lots to do still.

But at the moment the message must be - well in, Frank.

Newsflash: every manager should seek to improve. No one including Pep is the finished article

Frank is right where he should be in his development as a manager

 

[Moomin]

I'm starting to warm to him.

 

[leslad]

Saw Ashley Cole had an earpiece in today, reminded me of big Craigy Shakespeare

I know. I'm underlining more what's been achieved rather than what we're missing.

 

[maccavennie]

A bit of togetherness and people pulling in the same direction goes a very long way into breeding success.

That's what he's done since the start and continues to build upon.
