Alladyce ball? Omg you are plumbing new depths.The club wont spend big on forward players with our financial situation if they believe Lampard is going to persist with Alladyce ball for every away game.
They'll likely accept that and the hopes of PL survival until BMD is built.
What a stupid list. Totally nonsensical for the purposes we are discussing. All it tells you is the bloat amount for players who got transferred or were subject to transfer speculation.
Me too. We have no ambition, and a draw and/or clean sheet is seen as a good result.
Frankly, it's a pathetic small club mentality that has held us back for decades.

Thanks Mc Bain for the table. You have McNeil at 14.5 million rather than the usual figure of 20.00 million.
If that's true then it makes it a bit more reasonable a transfer.
The thing that annoys me is when the ball gets played out to our wide players and instead of having a go
the pass the ball backwards. I was brought up on Morrissey and Peter Thompson at LFC and they always
tried to make things happen. Mc Neil is slow, one-footed but has a decent centre if given time and a strong shot.
Still not worth 14.5 million.

We aren’t going from being one of the worst teams in the league to steam rolling people because we bought some good defensive players.
The way he has us pressing will never trouble decent teams
5 points from this 4 game run would be a very poor return. After a run of favourable fixtures like this will follow a run of tougher games where we will struggle to get 1 or 2 points from a 4 game run so you need to cash in on these easier fixtures. That being said a win against Palace and a draw away at Fulham is a good return. If we get 4 points from Leicester and Bournemouth we will be well positioned probably with a 4 or 5 point cushion over the bottom 3 with a good fixture at home to Wolves after the breakAfter the three defeats when a few were panicking the main consensus was we needed at least 5 points from the four league games before the World Cup.
At this early stage in our rebuild from horror show to realising Lampard’s vision he’s prioritised being solid at the back and picking up points over style of the play.
We picked up 4 points, kept two clean sheets, barely conceded a clear chance at goal (mostly Mitrovic pot shots) and the home performance was the most enjoyable we’ve had for years.
We weren’t safe until game 37 was over last year and mostly played awful and leaked goals left and right. If this season sees us out of the picture for relegation and safe with a good six or seven games to go and sees us being solid every game and playing a bit of football at home then it’s been a good season heading in the right direction.

You are entitled to your opinion, but I’m just countering itI'm just a little tired of the rhetoric. Sorry if I have no patience - we have 0 trophies to show for the last 27 years of patience and promises. I will likely be laid into the ground with the continual promise that we are still rebuilding with brighter days ahead.
I know these are first world problems, but I'm entirely entitled to my opinion that Lampard is a below average manager who will not amount to anything. His win rate and away record doesn't fill me with any confidence that we will see the transformation we need under him.
Happy to give him more time though to prove me wrong. But fact is we are still a couple of points off a relegation fight, and there is pressure on. The table doesn't lie, and it's right that we ask these questions.
