Frank Lampard quoted as saying
"This is a cup quarter-final to get to Wembley and if you haven't got the confidence to play, you can quickly flip it and say have you got the bollocks to play?"

You tell ' em Frank. Its about time this bunch of losers got called out.

 

[alwaysblue]

It's about time someone did. Quite a few of our players have been stealing a living for too long.

 

[davek]

Let's hope they dont have a hissy fit and down tools.

 

[NathDogg]

Happy with that from Frank, he's tried the carrot approach, and been blowing smoke up their useless arses ever since he walked in the door.

Bout time a manager hit em with the stick, and he should just bomb any of the cryarses if they don't like it, play the kids for all I care.

He can't trust Coleman (not his fault), holgate, Keane or Gomes any more, they are finished at the club and have been for some time.

 

[barneygumble]

All fine, but he needs to make the words turn into actions and make the players want it.

 

[blueblood]

Let's hope they dont have a hissy fit and down tools.

I’m not sure we’d be able to tell anything had changed if they did!

 

[BlueStevie35]

Said what needed saying, unfortunately some will criticise him for throwing players under the bus

 

[PhilEFC]

Good on him. Your boss at work would do exactly the same if you were underperforming.

A team of wet farts.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Poor Frank. Its not like he's got a dressing room of Terry's, Drogba's, and Essien's to lean on.

 

[summerisle]

Fine words butter no shithouses, as my nan used to put so pithuly.

 

[WilliamPerry]

I hate this set of players as much as I hate Liverpool, gutless losers

If we stay up hopefully them four go in the summer. If we get any decent bids for Richarlison( I think he’s boss but he is massively overrated) DCL and Pickford. I would sell all three just to have the money to build again. It would be a risk but if we don’t go down this year and nothing much changes we will go next season sometimes you just have to take risks.

 

[street end]

Made up he said what he has to be honest about time someone questioned them. All things considered and where we are in the league I’m not that bothered about going out the FA cup, we have to put all efforts in to staying in the Premier league.

I’d try and sell as many as possible and start again. I honestly think it’s a bigger risk keeping players than bringing in unknown ones and worrying they won’t gel. Just keep a core who Frank wants here, promote some youth players, and buy a few good solid younger players from the championship with pace power and determination to succeed in the PL. Rebuild from there.

Offer opportunities for first team football to the best young centre back and midfielder in the championship, and if DCL and Richarlison go then do the same in the striker position.

 

[anton66]

Absolutely ridiculous that these £50k upwards players can’t put a shift in.
