Who would you replace Lampard with?

[Pittsburgh Footy]

We're also winning less. And although the percentage is smaller you also are losing two points there.

Does the eye test really tell you we aren't better than last season?

Really?

 

[Nymzee]

We're also winning less. And although the percentage is smaller you also are losing two points there.

But it's just not as straightforward as that. Losing less games means we're in more of them, we aren't being cowards like we have been, there's fight and spirit and chances to come away with more wins than losses.

That is massive psychologically.

2 points isn't 2 points, I'll explain later.

It also means that generally speaking, we have a better chance over the long run of grinding out more wins.

Because we are definitely in more games this season, despite having a Bottom 5 front line

I honestly thought this thread had died, at least until a honking result (or two), but you utter loons have kick started it mid-week for no real reason I can see.

I ? GOT for these reasons ?

I'll explain it for you

Results can be fickle and in a small sample size you can get lucky or unlucky

I'd rather take my chances with underlying play, and if I'm competitive in substantially more games I like my chances getting better results in the long run

You don't need to explain it to me, Iggy is the one who thinks that the 2 points currently being a difference matter massively lol

It really doesn't. It's different.

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

It really doesn't. It's different.

In that case, the defense rests, your honor

 

[DualityNSNO]

It really doesn't. It's different.

If it doesn't pass the eye test you should perhaps visit an ophthalmologist.

Hope you're insured cuz it'll probably lead to lasic.

Our underlying play isn't that good?

Not even challenging for top 4. SMH

LAMPARD OUT

 

[Steve EFC]

How quickly some of us forget how rancid we were last season

You can't rinse the stink off that in just one season

Exactly ?

LAMPARD OUT

It's crazy that it always comes to this. "What do you expect, to win the lot??!?!?!?!"

No mate, you can have much lower expectations and still have concerns right now.

 

[Steve EFC]

This has major hot dog suit energy though. Lampard managed half the games last year!

The rot had set in big time and he had to halt the slide. Instant change in fortune is easier said than done.
Had the managerial change not happened I’m certain we would have gone down.
