2022/23 Frank Lampard

[BlueStevie35]

Numbers don’t lie. If things don’t change sack this fraud. He gave us McNeil for Richarlison.

He’s got until Christmas. If the L turns RED I think lampard deserves the sack


I actually like Roberto Martinez looking at this table he was far far superior than the BS we brought in. We actually had a good attack and he signed prime Lukaku.
WHO DID WE SIGN IN THEIR PRIME UNDER LAMPARD!?!? MCNEIL !

Not like for like you dope

 

[St James]

This squad was a basket case when Frank came in. Every area of the squad needed upgraded. You can’t do that in one window with no money to spend.

We didn’t compete in so many games last season and Frank made that his priority, make us more solid, he’s done that.

Realitically this season is about staying in the league. We sold our main goal threat, a player with match winning quality in Richarlison. There’ are no other players in the squad (other than Dominic Calvert-Lewin) with a history of scoring goals, creating big chances, assisting. Goals and chances were always going to be real hard to come by this season so no big surprise we’re struggling in that department.

Frank is well aware that the next round of recruitment needs to be focussed on creativity and goals - he referenced that in his Palace press conference. If he upgrades the forward line as he has with the defence and midfield, he’ll have us moving up the league. Just need to be patient, frustrating though it is.

But you could have kept Richarlison and still signed pretty much every player you did in summer with the exception of Dwight McNeil and been in pretty much the exact same financial position you are now. Why on earth did Lampard sanction selling your best player to be replaced by McNeil? And if he didn't sanction the sale why does he not have the front to call it out that it was 'forced' on him?

We would have been sanctioned under the rulez if we couldnt lob the Richy money in the accounts by 31st July. Everyone knew that.

Could they not have offloaded DCL or Gordon instead?

At some point we need to stick it out. Improvement is not always going to be a straight line.

The attack are very poor but not helped by 2 defensive fullbacks. We are a low IQ team going forwards. If you look at our best team under Moyes with Arteta, Peanut’s, Osman and Cahill there were some intelligent footballers there who could make good decisions and take up good positions. Gray needs an age to workout what he is going to do and in fairness with no support from fullback he finds himself isolated

DCL was on the injured list, Chelsea wouldn’t go higher than £40m for Gordon and the club weren’t entertaining thst

Well, that's blatantly not true, seeing as Richarlison went for more than double what we paid for McNeil. Higher wages too. Oh, and we're also paying McNeil's transfer fee over the course of his contract.

 

[edge]

Needs wins and quick.
If we around the bottom come the world Cup break.
I can see Moshiri pulling the trigger.
It's up to Frank to get the pionts to stop that.

 

[BenToffee79]

Written 5 games off

No, not at all.

Do you have any idea how the deals were structured and there were certain transfers we couldn’t conclude due to the payment structure of the deal. So you’re totally weong

And a deal needed to be sanctioned, by the end of June, so again you’re talking out of your arse

Richarlison was the highest valued asset

Forget the WC the next two games are massive for me.

Palace (H)
Fulham (A)

Anything less than 4 points and he'll lose my support.

But I thought you said you'd give him the season.

Who's not behind Lampard ?

I've already said he gets the season for me.

I still wont be calling for his head, but he'll have lost my support if these next 2 games dont yield the results required.

What's the difference between not supporting him and wanting him replaced? Or do you want us to keep a manager you don't want to succeed? Confused where the middle ground lies.
