2022/23 Frank Lampard

[davek]

I`m not really sure, that Frank sits in his office and Finch Farm and thinks, " I know, I`ll have a look at GOT and see what coaching, team formation and tactical masterclass, that Dave, 59, from Wigan, is advocating today lol

I hope you got bricked by kids on your run.

Strange though wasn't it?

?‍

To be fair you did also say that if we went to a back 4 then Coleman would have to come back in because Patterson couldn’t play that role.

I think I was fairly vocal on the 5-2-3 v 4-3-3 debate.... I was genuinely worried by the 5-2-3, we saw it wasn`t a good system last season and then again this season.

Made up we are now playing the 4-3-3 and getting the rewards with it, and it still isn`t the finished article yet, how good could this side be?

I`m not saying it is me or the fanbase that made Frank change. It may well have been personnel, I`m just thankful he did. We have our team and club back, hopefully results will come for Frank while Thelwell brings competent people at FF to fit our structure and as a Football Club we can put the last 6 years to bed and rebuild stronger.

I think Moshiri and Kenwright have learnt their lesson although I`d love to have someone like Cahill as chairman.... What I wouldn`t give to see Everton left a trophy.

Anywhere from 9th to 14th is where I have us likely to finish this season. A handful of draws turned into wins can make a big difference come the final day.

I still think we’re set up for Dom so need to see us with him playing before I can properly guess where we finish.

I don't think we are set up for Dom we aren't getting the FBs forward enough and putting quality crosses in and wingers like to come inside.

Is it merely coincidence we reverted to a back four after that thread was posted?

Yes

I think we will struggle for goals from central midfield until we see maybe Garner and Onana fully integrated into the side. Iwobi's through ball to Maupay was brilliant but I dont see those 3 that started yesterday providing a lot of goals themselves.

Gonna be so important Grey and Gordon chip in with close to double figures themselves.

All in all pretty happy with how we're progressing at the moment.

To be fair, Liverpool's midfield doesn't score many; they exist to just get the ball forward to their forwards.

We could do with finding our own Salah to finish though

We’re banging in a lot of crosses to a side with no forward over 6 foot

Agree but think it always should be on the forwards to step up since that’s their entire job role. Them lot across the park did very well with a team of midfielders who don’t slot.

I get that but look at how many goals City's midfield contribute.

City are very different though...

I feel this is where a host of our ex managers have gone wrong.

The only one who took ever his advice, was Matinez and look what happened there.

 

[CielosGrises]

It might do us fans some good to not compare the team against City, Liverpool et al until we are in the same mini league.

Still, it is nice is that we might actually give those sides a competitive game again.

We need to get on top of West Ham, Brentford, Newcastle and Palace again first - I wonder where we will be mid-season and will the team have come together a bit more.

Oh I’d love it if ours would just suggesting it’s not a necessity for success. Especially if they’re helping us keep clean sheets.
