Who should replace Frank Lampard?

No-one should.

The problem is not Lampard, just as it wasn't Ancelotti, Silva, Allardyce or Martinez. The problem is the culture of the club, which is way too tolerant of failure and far too nice. If Lampard wants to keep his job he has to change it during this break - be ruthless, set a high standard as the expectation and then bin off anyone who doesn't meet it.

I mean to take one example - name me one captain of any winning side who has overseen, under every one of those regimes, multiple humiliations like today and remained captain? As a leader Coleman has been the constant presence in the dressing room and can anyone honestly say that he has achieved anything? I am sure he is a nice bloke and that all the squad like him, but that is 1940 thinking when what we urgently need is Zhukov before the gates of Moscow in 1941 thinking - inspire, command, shoot anyone who lets the side down and win.
If the problem is Coleman, then surely all the managers who have kept him, and in addition given him the captain's armband, must also be part of the problem?
 
Look, i'm sick of bouncing from manager to manager since Moyes left and 100% believed Lampard was the first hope of one staying for the long haul.....and still hope he does.
It's hard though to keep this hope alive when he forfeit's a cup for nothing, and then today fails to make changes until the game is lost. Bringing Cannon on so late to replace a hapless and out of his depth Maupay was criminal.

oh they are

them praising what a fantastic guy he is (and I am sure as a human being he is) is usually the first symptom of the disease
 
Come back to me this time next year

And yet he has the worst record of all the managers since Moyes, and 10 x worse than Moyes.
