2022/23 Frank Lampard

[Toff33Blues99]

Cant judge a Premier league manager with bottom half championship forwards.

You can judge him when he has a forward on the bench and chooses to play a waif like winger instead

Not free from blame but the lack of a cf is massive, rondon was prob not fit enough to start.

 

[KaiserEFC]

I get the shouts about him not being backed etc but he had a striker on the bench. And I know people will say “yeah but Rondon is crap” and he is but we looked a hell of a lot better when he came on and gave us a smidge of CF play

 

[Curtis]

The problem is that he tailored his tactics to suit a striker that has been plagued with injuries over a year with no feasible contingency plan

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

Im talking about Ppg. We called for managers heads when we lost 2 games in a row before.

Anyone who called for a manager to be sacked after two games in an embarrassment. An utterly, cringeworthy embarrassment.

I was never calling for Silvas head because he actually improved players outputs in terms of G/A.

We where wretched under Silva too and guess what? Silva was able to spend money and bring in players and strikers. He wasn't working with one arm tied behind his back due to the mismanagement of others like Lampard is.

I don't know what Lampard brings except blaming everyone else for us being pathetic?

What did Benitez bring to the table? Or Silva? Or Koeman? Or BFS? They all made excuses. Maybe they weren't all wrong. Maybe its not all the managers fault.

the internet? oh ok then

I’m just sad we lost mate. But I only saw the result and match statistics.

Did we actually play well at all? I thought we did against Chelsea.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Line up wasn’t right and subs were too late

Needs to learn from the mistake

Hopefully he does

In general we’re playing better than last season and we’ve been a bit unlucky, so there are positives to take

Said it end of last season, top fella but no good. Should have gone for Rooney as soon as we survived.

Rooney ? LOL. Do you know other alcohlics?

Toothless for most of the game but that is to be expected. Had spells were we looked decent but with no real outlet and the midfield still lacking teams will always find a way to get on top for spells against us. Onana looked like a breath of fresh air when he came on, hopefully Gueye will be coming back and finally have some legs in the middle of the park again.

Cheers.

Defensively how did we look? Were villa a massive threat or was it just a couple of dozy mistakes / moments that led to us conceding?

 

[lesbattersby]

Play a proper system.

443.

Stick with that and see what happens.

I agree about not playing 5 at the back, but playing with no goalkeeper isn't going to help either

 

[chicoazul]

I back Frank. Join me.

He's been very sluggish in making changes in his tenure at Everton I don't know if he doesn't feel comfortable with options on the bench or he's so fearful of disrupting what he has on the pitch even though it's not effective

 

[Wat Tyler]

Next week will be same team but Onana for Doucoure, and Rondon for McNeil.
