2022/23 Frank Lampard

Richarlison had to go to bring funds in so we could improve the team, which we have done. We`re not a pushover this season which is purely down to the 60m we got for Richey.

We should’ve spent the McNeil money on someone capable of scoring a goal.
 

Not sure the football that's been played this season is what all the fans fans wanting Lampard were counting on. It's very Big Sam.

Last season it was needs must and whatever it takes. He's been able to bring in his own players in the summer but the football has got worse.
I'm hoping it's going to click soon, and that I'll come to realise how wrong I am, but I'd say all he's really done is get two steady lads in at the back to keep the score down, like Walter Smith did with Weir and Stubbs.

Ever since Ancelotti left, I've been reminded of that awful period between Royle and Moyes, where the football was hopelessly dire and we seemed to be permanently circling the drain.

As I said we could have got Allardyce in to do that and imagine the reaction of the fans then.

I can accept to some degree going back to basics defensively and building from the back etc but I don't accept playing a really poor Leeds side and spending the whole game wasting time on our way to a draw, or being passive at home to a hopeless Nottingham Forest side (on the way to a draw) who are rock bottom.

It's one thing making Everton be a horrible side to play against but another to make us a horrible side to watch. Fans pay good money.
 
We don’t have the attacking players for a 433. He either needs to go back to a back five, which I’m not sold on or go for a 4-2-3-1.
 
Mad that they got Guimares for £40m, really smart signing. Night and day to our splurge on Sigurdsson when we got some money.
Haven’t we just spent £40m on Maupay & McNeil?
That can be solely down the players though. The manager has to take some responsibility surely otherwise why the hell are we giving him a wage?!
the buck always stops with the manager……always has, always will.
 

Gerrard and Lampard both on a 33.3% win percentage

One has this despite inheriting Buendia Bailey Watkins Ings McGinn Douglas Luiz Martinez Konsa Mings Ramsay early on in the season and then adding Coutinho Digne Diego Carlos Dendoncker Kamara over two transfer windows

The other inherited Keane Coleman Holgate Kenny Davies Gomes Rondon a crocked DCL, a crocked Townsend and an unfit Richarlison, arrived mid way through the January transfer window, and then had to sell Richarlison in the summer and got given Maupay and McNeill in return with DCL remaining crocked.

Completely different situations which shows who the better manager is.

Still 33.3 is poor win ratio.
 
It was a poor squad of players, he’s had one transfer window of restricted spending. Maybe let’s see where we are at the end of the season before bringing up win rates of two disjointed half seasons one of which wasn’t even with his players.
If he lasts the season lol ! I don’t rate Lampard, lost to many games for my liking.
