2022/23 Frank Lampard

Just for reference when does "he succeeded the worst manager who we all hate" stop becoming an excuse for mediocrity?

If we played every game like Newcastle away he'd have been gone fairly soon.

Mykolenko getting stuck in too

In all the circumstances brave is his middle name

When we get into Europe- which will be soon

Think the aim this season is to try and avoid a big battle like last season. Then, next season, maybe look to push the top 10 to leave us in an OK position going into the new stadium.

When he’s had a full season and more than one transfer window. Until then he’s still clearing up the fat ones mess.

I mean at that point he'll have been here over twice as long. It's very generous.

Tbh I just want to see progress. We've not.

I mean yes, we were regularly scoring from free flowing passing moves that started inside our own penalty area last season, you’re right.

Because you’ve given him less than half a season with anything approaching his own team to make that judgement….

We're not regularly doing that now?

One and a half seasons and three transfer windows is very generous? For a club and team that was on its arse. Really??

Whatever happened to patience.

Doesn’t exist in Americaland.

Yes I think once you get to a year of blaming the previous guy it's probably too far

Progress isn't usually a thing where you wake up and you're there. If we are going to get back to competing for Europe it'll take time building. If we're not doing that the timeline moves back. So you can say he needs this that and the other but for me there need to be signs the whole way.

Is the fact that Alex Iwobi can suddenly play football to a professional standard not a sign?
