2022/23 Frank Lampard

[LeeCarsley]

Negative football is acceptable when we win. But we don't look like winning a duel much less a game. Lampard has evaporated a decent start for us and he will have to win at least two of our next three if he wants to remain in charge, and he really only has himself to blame. I really do like him and want him to be a success but the owner has made it clear he wanted to replace him before. I fear his time might be running out. Hopefully we have more of an onus to attack on Saturday.

Dreading the next game now tbh.

When did the owner make it clear he needs replacing? Unless we are in a legit relagation battle come the world cup I think we stick with him till next season no matter what, our team is horrendous other than defense so think he deserves another two windows, just my opinion

The football is mindblowingly dull to watch. Just no creativity. Got up at 4:30am to watch zero shots on goal.

Pathetic.

Spurs away and Newcastle away (under the lights). Given the form of both teams the results are expected.

It’s extremely dull.

But people are forgetting how bad it was under Benitez last season. Add to that we sold our best attacking player in the summer and our biggest chance creator in Digne 9 months ago.

It’ll take time. And I think Lampard deserves it.

Thought his preferred formation was 3 at the back. I really don't like it personally but feel it suits our current available players much more than when he kept trying it early on.

His attitude, decision making, cautiousness, in-game management all remind me a bit of Southgate really, and that says just about everything I need to say about him.

 

[GoldenToffee]

He's really bought into the Expected Defeats mantra by having his players refuse to attack in such games.

If we don’t win any of the next 3 we are in trouble. Need to be at least 19/20 points before the World Cup.

No chance

Lots of vaulting in this thread

 

[kenada_blue]

Do we just ignore his poor record then?

He's played 12 games with a brand new team and lost 4 games to Chelsea, United, Spurs, Newcastle who all out spent, in form, and will finish in the top 7 of the table.

iMO his management starts from this season, not from the Holocaust of last

Agree with you but don't believe digne was all that. Fraud him

 

[kenada_blue]

Oh turn it in ffs and get behind him instead of whining about the same crap

Any bump in the road no matter how small it's trigger time.

Next 4 games, we need to get results. We won't win them all but we are capable of winning all of them, so we need 6 points minimum
