Won't blame him for mistakes FL makes or the players like, but we saw yesterday a team that has had 2 months or so now to get used to their manager, against a team with less than 2 weeksAbsolutely crazy that we allowed the kopite to continue to do the damage that he has done. The mutants must be absolutely buzzing at his torpedoing of the club.
As you say, if Frank had been brought in earlier I have no doubt we'd be in much better shape.
We're already hypothesising about when and where to sack Lampard. K'off!Would sack him before he got on the bus at the Emirates, save him the trouble of coming all way up north. He has 55 pts to play for , if he can't get us enough points he deserves to go
If we'd have sacked Benitez in December which was the latest he should have gone, we'd be safely mid-table now
A team that has been taken apart from a playing, player and confidence perspective. That is what are seeing.Won't blame him for mistakes FL makes or the players like, but we saw yesterday a team that has had 2 months or so now to get used to their manager, against a team with less than 2 weeks

They spent the last 2-3 years playing hoof ball. Going to take a while to learn to pass but until you have players like DVB and Alli who can control the ball your going to get swampedA team that has been taken apart from a playing, player and confidence perspective. That is what are seeing.
Yeah, and instead we put in Branthwaite, who has what, 3 games under his belt?Who else plays at LWB or even LB?
Kenny?? Patterson?
Patterson has 27 senior games to his name, in Scotland, and 15 starts. We needed a RB to come in straight away but instead signed a lad with zero experience.
This isn't hitting out at Patterson, he needs a chance now, but fgs, let's not keep acting like he's a world beater because frankly we have no idea if he is or not.
We shouldv bought a CB and a DM. Instead, we bought/loaned 3 number 10 players again.DVB should be in that midfield from now one.
Again that’s a huge problem. Defensive is crap, midfield awful but up front we have loads of fire power but when 2 parts are failing what are we meant to do
FYI Alli isn't a great possession player.They spent the last 2-3 years playing hoof ball. Going to take a while to learn to pass but until you have players like DVB and Alli who can control the ball your going to get swamped
Godfrey and Mina getting injured is unfortunate and can’t be helped. Lampard has me 1 day to buy players. Boards fault for messing aboutWe shouldv bought a CB and a DM. Instead, we bought/loaned 3 number 10 players again.
We didn't get 3 number 10s in at allWe shouldv bought a CB and a DM. Instead, we bought/loaned 3 number 10 players again.
Alli can take the ball on the turn and run at people and beat them as he did a few times.FYI Alli isn't a great possession player.
VdB absolutely is and I think we saw that.
Gomes hoodwinked us all - again - but it's time for that to stop. Can't get Doucoure back quick enough to give us at least a bit of energy in midfield

None of us have any idea on him?
All we know is that Dunc, Benitez and now Lampard so far haven't deemed him ready. So maybe we should stop acting like he definitely is?
I want him to play. I would love him to start on Saturday and have a stormer mate.
But the fact remains we spent a big fee on a player with zero experience for a position we needed filling right away (not in a season's time) when we're in a relegation scrap.
And so far, he's not played a single minute for us under three managers.
Let's hope that changes on Saturday. I don't think that's on him at all. But I also think it was probably the right signing in terms of profile, but at the wrong time in terms of where we are in the league and the season.
Correct and now we have to live with thatI called for it after the Watford game, losing that game from a winning position was unacceptable due to Jaffa's decisions.
Club waited too long and its done us big time.
