2022/23 Frank Lampard

[Baggzio]

I'm no where near wanting him out but quite honestly we're not a good enough team to be able to bounce back from or overcome tactical mistakes, he's made a few already this season where we've gotten battered in. He's a good manager but he should know by now that the players he put out on that pitch tonight were not good enough. I don't care if there's a game again in the weekend, there's no excuse for not going with strength here there's a near 2 month break after that game, they can recover after that. It's not like we've got many World Cup bound players either so I don't see the logic.

 

[blueblood]

If we get beat on Saturday - I think he will be gone after the world cup with a new manager in the background ready ?

Who knows that plunged us to new depths tonight imo .......

Different players playing the same lack luster football v Bournemouth reserves the under 23 team with a few regulars could have done better that that performance.....

This is what has annoyed me the most. If Cannon, Welch, Mills, Price had all started he’d have pretty much had a free pass- would have been good to see if the youngsters were up to scratch if we lost and a bonus if we won, probably minimal criticism from fans. As it is he’s played a team who he’s openly admitted in the past aren’t good enough and further damaged confidence and morale.

No mate. Sack the manager for another one will fix the problem.

yearh i mean that’s what half of these tools want

 

[Duncan Donuts]

lad if you don’t like it. block it

LAD

 

[Lob]

here’s an idea let’s sack him and then the new manager will score us loads jobs a gooden aye

I don't know what the answer is but sitting back and hoping that everything is going to be fine when all the signs indicate that we are in big trouble and heading for further disaster seems a little bit insane to me. I like Frank but there is no getting away from the fact that we have only won 3 all season and he has a worse record for us than both Benitez and Allardyce.

 

[blue to the bone]

and it’s choice not to

If he keeps losing games it will be a straightforward decision. Same as all the other managers we sacked.

 

[skumar55]

So sack him and then what? What manager is gonna come here if they know the fans/owner will force them out after less than 12 months he

He will take us down, we got lucky last season.

 

[RomanReigns]

Someone bell carlo and tell him to get the gang together again

 

[matty1878]

Where is the stability if he takes us down

it’s not may lad.

 

[dannyboy]

people just don’t look at the bigger picture

I've always said he should be given the time to have a real go at the job (unless it's clear he's taking us to the drop). Who knows if he's a decent manager. At least give him the time so we can find out.

 

[kenada_blue]

In my opinion, he shouldn't be picking those CBs.

Yes and no for me though. Not picking them because they are awful...but we play the same team on Saturday and I'd rather they had a rest.

 

[Toff33Blues99]

He didn't last season with a worse squad.

By the skin of his teeth

a start would be strikers

 

[edge]

Great manager. Let's give him time lads. Give him a January window. He'll turn us into Man City.

Man city subs and a couple of under 18s would comfortably hammer this lot.

This thread is OFF THE RAILS

We didn't play any of our new spine in this game, which was essentially the team that nearly got us relegated last season

I'm all for the performance wasn't good enough, but the players on the pitch weren't good enough either.

If we show up like that Saturday, you'll have a point.

But with those CBs and midfielders, I'm not sure how anyone could have expected a different result

That's what I've been saying. He has made a bold decision today to prioritise Saturday. If it backfires, he is in real trouble. I couldn't really care about today's result, disappointed in the manner of the result but not that bothered by the loss itself.

But yeah, he has put the pressure on himself to get a win away from home.
