2022/23 Frank Lampard

[knowing your history]

Don't think he should get sacked, can't really blame anyone who does right now, the results have been shocking and to get wellied by the same crap team twice in a week is just atrocious.

Manager change or not, we need a new number 9 and creative player or we are going into the final weeks praying for our lives.

Think I'm gonna need to take a break from the forum. This team is just really, really crap right now.

On balance I'd give him the Wolves home game. Five week break now, chance to get DCL fit yet again.

However another Leicester style performance and I think he'll be gone. Put a caretaker in for Man. City away and then get someone new in for Brighton and Southampton home games which would be winnable with fired up Goodison.

Doubt options will be anything other than likes of Nuno and Sean Dyche so they'll be no exotic football anytime soon but then whole club seems to be in a daze and hobbling to the new ground. 50/50 whether that's still as a premier league outfit in 18 months.

15 games in. 3 wins, 11 goals.

40 points? We ain't making 30 points.

 

[Legend Barry Horne]

No you can’t, because he’s crap.

OK - nice one....

 

[Big_nev]

No idea what the solution is because we can't keep changing managers (or can we?) but throwing that game away midweek only to go and get pumped again today is embarrassing.

He won't be sacked, they'll give him till Jan.
But I don't see how he turns it round.
7 goals in week v Bournemouth is dismissable for any PL manager.
Been schooled tactically a few times now.
Probably another very good player who won't live up to it as manager - Gerard, Keane, Shearer etc.
Hope I'm wrong.

I like Frank and I personally would stick but, he’s not surviving 2 heavy defeats to Bournemouth and bottom 3 looming with an international break like this heading into a transfer window. It’s an ideal time to pull the trigger if you’re an owner who has a stadium investment to protect.

 

[GrandOldSte117]

If we had a barely average striker at this club, say Adam at S'ton, we'd be 7/8 points better off at this point.

It's that simple to fix.

And a decent manager

 

[RomanReigns]

i don't care who you are, you can be pep guardiola, sir alex ferguson, arsene wenger or brian clough

back to back defeats to bournemouth, nay back to back humiliating defeats to bournemouth, should be an automatic sack

there should actually be a clause in the manager's contracts for such a situation

 

[ProZ]

I found myself wanting them to score more there at the end to finish him off.

He’s record is worse than Rafael’s ! Lampard out

To you Lampard fans. You are not the only peasants who have been seduced by a charismatic guy who is good with words. History is full of them. However, time to wake up. Zero substance.

No mate. Personally saw that he's bought right, reduced the age of the squad, and looked to build some solid foundations. Completely lacking up top.

Last 3 games have threw that in the bin though.

Don't want him to go. But can't defend if he does.

We've been clueless for years. That's not changing.

 

[hocane]

Was hoping it was gonna work out for him but it looks like he is just not ready for the Premier League yet like Gerrard.

Take a drop to Championship or league one. Learn your trade.

 

[blue to the bone]

Saw this and if true its shocking.
We have conceded more to Bournemouth this week then Bournemouth have since conceding 9 at the pit .

 

[banno]

Do away with the wingers as they don't offer anything. Rather have 2 up front, 4 midfield and full backs getting forward with the knowledge that if they do then they will be covered by the midfield.

 

[DanB90]

Wouldn’t put it past us to sit on our hands and do nothing during the break, get beat the following game, sack the manager and begin a scramble for a new manager as the fixtures start coming thick and fast.
