2022/23 Frank Lampard

[TheBigIguana]

And im saying NO.

Anyway, we have done Don Carlo to death.

We have, the relevant point here is his attacking system got as bad as everyone else's so no, it isn't that Dom needs Carlo it's that Dom needs a real manager.

Ancelotti didn’t do a good job here, people genuinely should be accepting that by now. Paying the best part of £50m to revamp the midfield with a tugboat and a god knows what in order to move two places up the table from 12th to 10th was terrible, terrible, business which has been an enormous millstone round our neck.

As fun as James was it was also obvious why we shouldn't have done the deal

Relax. As much as I don't like him, Frank has got this next game.

There's absolutely no chance we lose. The city and United performances will give confidence.

Frank knows how important this game is and so do the players.

I've never been more confident this season of a win.

We're at plus odds to win a home game against the bottom side. It's bleak.

I wish I was, I do. For a supposedly attacking manager we cannot break down teams he fails to set us up properly to attack teams that sit in at home, we lost at home to Wolves, Leicester, and Brighton. Twice to Bournemouth away. We don't have the players to play the way he wants to. Also when we go behind he cannot change it, his tactical decisions are baffling in-game, and often from game to game, he finds something that works and then changes it again the next week, how do you get consistency with that? His subs are very slow. Why didn't he change the formation against Brighton? Why can't he stop the bleeding.

I am desperate for us to win Saturday, I really want Frank to work, sacking managers constantly doesn't help we need to rebud with one manager for three seasons and an identity and the club hasn't helped him with recruitment at all, the board is a shambles. But he needs to show what he's working towards, have a baseline of results otherwise we will go down. Frank is a nice fella, speaks well, and gets the fans but the record is abysmal, what's the identity? What is it three wins in half a season, the job is too big for him, It's not acceptable.

 

[LeeCarsley]

Hopefully they somehow had the weekend off and he is dismissed this morning before the players report for training. I'm no fan of Dyche but you'd be hard pressed to find a professional manager who couldn't do better on three measly wins since August. Appalling record.

It's funny you should mention Dyche because after last seasons effort in which he won 4 from 30 before getting sacked he's actually one of those few managers who probably can't do better.

 

[MikeH72]

We won at Anfield, the Emirates etc that season. We came comfortably mid table after challenging for Europe. We only lost in the cup because we drew City and the ref was a joke. We had knocked out Spurs before that.

To suggest Ancelotti is as bad as our last 2 managers means you are either on a wind up or don't understand football

Big asterisk needed.

 

[Gareth Gibson]

For context, and just to cement how fickle football and football fans are, there are Chelsea fans calling for Potter to be sacked. The whole business is toxic these days. Anyway, not a really much context, nor related to Lampard in any way, but it's got it off my chest

Frank has a far better record as Chelsea manager than Potter does.

 

[Gareth Gibson]

I like Frank, but there again I liked Sam also. And I liked Martínez and I liked Silva. I wish the ones I like became successful.

Sam did well, in fairness. He took us up a good few places in the league and we finished 8th on his watch.

 

[ParkhallToffee]

Wonder if Carlo would come back, unfinished business and all that?

 

[twoblue]

nope. Reckon he will barely mention his time at goodison in any future autobiography and sees it as a stain on his other wise stellar career.

Like every signing, it’s all clear in hindsight. No one was complaining when they were made

I was being facetious, but yes, you're probably correct.
