2022/23 Frank Lampard

[ToffeeTim]

There is no formation that works with a front line that hasn't the ability to play in the premier league.

Changing system is papering over cracks. The manager has been let down by inept recruitment and a lack of forward planning.

 

[hktoffee]

Come on Kevin. We need Gana, Terrier and Broja.

 

[BlueStevie35]

My stance is based on last season as well. We got lucky then, we won't this time with this idiot in charge of picking the team. We've gone from Ancelotti to this ... utterly bemusing that some fans still believe in Frank the Fraud.

Only one idiot I can see round here

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Has the same points per game as Rafael now. I just don't like blindly following a manager because we're fed up of swapping. Doesn't make this one good.

Benitez was no worse than Lampard yet his cult followers will tell you he done miracles taking us from 16th to 16th in half a season.

Fronk is here now and he should get the season to build his own team but my early optimism is waning.

Villa's front 3 + Buendia take the piss oot of the crap we have.

Gordon is decent but over rated, Gray isn't suited to a possession based team and McNeil is useful when you have a target man to hit crosses to.

The managers biggest mistake was not doing to DCL what Benitez did to Digne - push him oot the door in the summer window and reinvested the dough in 2 good attacking players.

I blame the board more than Frank so far, yes he's naive tactically but he needs the tools to do his job.

 

[roy vernon]

I was disappointed in his selection. Soon as I seen Gordon up front I knew we has problems.............then he enhanced it by introducing Davies

Davies did better than the player he replaced, Doucoure truly was poor.

 

[blue1948]

No reason really but I am optimistic ,yes Frank is a bit blase in defeat and I wish that was not the case but we are having horrendous bad luck with injuries and the players coming in are better than we had for sure .
I think Doucoure has been bad for a while , Onana will be there to take his place but we do need a striker and to move Deli out ,right out .

 

[ToffeeTim]

He needs to absolutely hammer the board and DOF publicly in his interviews because they are delivering him.a team which is relegation fodder.

He should be angry and demanding the right players. Not that he should have to, but we are where we are.

 

[banno]

IMO he didn't....he was a disaster

 

[ForeverBlue92]

He needs to absolutely hammer the fitness and conditioning department publicly in his interviews because they are delivering him 4 injuries in 2 weeks.

He should be angry and demanding the right players. Not that he should have to, but we are where we are.

Fixed.

Thought Kev was in charge of transfers?

Or you changing your view to suit your agenda?

He needs a striker and is being let down by the recruitment team every game that passes.

Also needs Gueye through the door and that shouldn't have been allowed to drag on.

How can the club sign a top striker when we're bound to FFP ?

DCL could have been moved on giving us scope to bring in 2-3 attacking players but Lampard decided to build the team around the next Daniel Sturridge and its backfired.

It seems that Frank is just a yes man. He must be, otherwise he'd be rightly deflecting the blame for this abysmal squad towards the board. He'll take us down at this rate, and it mostly won't be his fault.

 

[Amokachi1995]

If he sticks with 5 at the back would like to see 3 in midfield. 5-3-2. Feels like for over 12 months our issue has been getting overrun in midfield.

 

[ProZ]

Nobody can argue that United do have some players that can play, but if they are not given the right tactics they will all look like fifa bronze cards
