2022/23 Frank Lampard

[blulouie]

He picked three goals out of his own net.

No ....2

But can't think other than them , he was called upon to make a single save.

It's simle for me: knock the football on the head and work like Trojans. It's a simple formula for us to carry on and pick up the 40 points we require.

I dont want to hear Lampard hinting at expansive football, still less trying to conduct it with these bang average players. They were points lost today when it was realistically the last chance we'll have to get points until Palace at home.

What you're saying is go back to basics, but guess what, we didnt even do the basics tonight.

It was just a poor overall performance, no real need to go full Big Sam.

 

[Leylo]

And we would have been very fortunate to get a point.

We had the pushed back most of second half ,just silly individual mistakes which can be sorted we are a work in progress. First half we were poor second half better imo

Low Eriksen shot after Gana gave the ball away (again)

Because Lampard confused them.

If we'd have played a basic game there tonight we'd have got at least a point.

I said before the game that if we're the underdogs and have that mentality then we give United a hard time. But we didn;t do that and we got punished.

We'll now go off on a run that will see us lurch toward the bottom 4 before we face Palace.

That's the damage done by trying to play a bit there tonight.

Even Lampard said it wasn't an Everton performance. But I think he's allowed that mentality we needed to slip and encouraged them to get on the ball and pass through United. It was folly and now we face a very difficult October.

 

[Lanolin]

I also think people are dismissing United as some pub team also.

Not claiming they are a good side, but they sit 5th, the only team to take points off Arsenal also.

I think thats where a lot of anger stems from.

Yeah definitely. They’ve beaten liverpool and Arsenal already, I’m not sure why people are so surprised they beat us. That’s what I mean about overrating us though, I feel like this is a theme where people convince themselves that battling to a couple of good results means we’re suddenly a good side and then they lose it when we inevitably slip up. I still think staying up relatively comfortably would be a decent season this year, and people talking about Europe etc just invites overreaction.

 

[blulouie]

I mean to be fair they scored 2, had 2 disallowed, and missed a couple of very presentable chances so I get where he’s coming from. It’s not the end of the world though, they’re a pretty good side and we still could have salvaged something at the end. I think it was a bit of a reality check about the midfield and defence though. People have gone a bit over the top about both areas and I think today showed there’s still a fair way to go.

Exactly
Disallowed goals are ....disallowed , we've had many of them ( Coady @The Derby).
We where undone by 2 mistakes and punished accordingly by World Class players.
Yet we hung in there & could have got a point or even 3.
Poor performance yet we where always in the game , that's not something we've been used to.

I dont know which game you watched, but at no point did I see us try and play football.

We spent almost 90minutes getting our poo pushed in.

 

[davek]

Some players just had a bad day that's it and having a bad day we nearly snatched a point. He's doing a job here and most of us are behind him maybe not you David

I do support him, but I wont back him if he deviates from the script that got us unbeaten for 6 games or so.

If Lampard wants to impress people in the game that he's a manager to take note of then he has to acknowledge the players' limitations and play within them.

That was atrocious tonight and I lay the bulk of the blame at his door.

For what?

You seem to think he tried something different tonight..........................

 

[Rob17896]

Well you could say that, but it’s still a fact.

Er...not a fact for quite a long time yet, if indeed your prediction works out. My only two would be City will win it and Arsenal be top four. Only certain about City

 

[davek]

FFS, countless times dawdling on the ball in defence and midfield - Iwobi trying to do a stepover and Mykolenko trying to dance his way out of the 18 yard box.

That was suicidal, even against a bang average United outfit.

Yes, I do. Open your eyes.

Over complicating this Dave: we made two mistakes in midfield which led to two brilliantly executed goals by 1) one of the greatest goalscorers of all time 2) a £70M winger who is one of the hottest talents in World football.

We will be sound and batter Spurs

 

[Goat]

Yes, I do. Open your eyes.

My eyes were open Dave, we played the same way we have all season, well you know, since we got our new midfield and defence.

A player get caught on the ball in midfield, almost certain tonight wasnt the first time thats happened.

I get it, you need to blame Lampard, so you invent a scenario where hes told players to, *checks notes, " Iwobi trying to do a stepover and Mykolenko trying to dance his way out of the 18 yard box."
