[Football] Frank Lampard

[Stat Brother]

As someone brilliantly said on one of the podcasts I listen to, he is Tim Sherwood with A-Levels.

Ouchy


Firm but fair.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Half the signings haven’t played yet.

Havertz seems bang average though. Can’t see him doing much at all.

I asusme you didn’t watch Havertz in Germany then? He is brilliant. Just needs a bit more time and ideally a better manager.

 

[Kinky Gerbils]

I think Roman was a bit gutted he did as well last year.

I think he was a stop gap till this summer

Couldn’t get rid of him after last season

 

[Mike Small]

I think Lampard will be top 3 at least this year and he’ll of done a good job. Push for the title next year. Really hope I’m wrong as he’s pretty arrogant. That episode with Klopp showed that.

 

[Sirnormangall]

Already has the look of a dead man walking doesn't he.

Had his free hit. Now, having spent more than any club ever in a transfer window, there's a Russian gangster with Frank's head on the block.

Just watched his press conference. He's two losses from the SACK and he knows IT.

He sleeps with the fishes

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

He has recently come over on tv as someone under a lot of pressure, very protective and insecure. Not the calm considered relaxed person you used to see.

Scored a good goal tonight

Hat trick!

He hasn’t got a clue.

As I said a couple of weeks ago but was told by a couple of posters I was wrong, he is tactically naive. He showed that last season and is again now. There is no plan at all and no way he should be in charge of a club that size with the players he’s got, he’s totally wasting them.

A fair analogy,. Although I reckon Sherwood's only GCSE world be in General Studies (C). Probably more than Scotty Parker even did got though and it's one of them things.

Well Roman does live on his mega yacht now doesn't he?

"Hey Frankie, pop over to Monaco, we need a little chat. Nothing serious."

"Uh, sorry boss. Got a game tomorrow and I can't get a flight until......"

"Helicopter is on your lawn, see you soon."

 

[origigull]

Could end up going the way of Shearer I recon. (i.e. Tried managing his lifelong club, swiftly followed by "Didn't he used to be a coach?", "Oh yeah, I remember that!")

Should have done the sensible thing like Gerrard and learned his trade outside the PL. When you think of the pressure, the expectation and the serious competition in this league, he has one of the most difficult jobs a new young manager could take on. Then when you factor in the added interest because of who he is and his Chelsea history, it was always going to be too much to ask IMO.

Not sure he is manager material anyway to be honest.

Err - did he not spend a season managing at Derby.

While I agree, its possible that Thiago Silva will un**** their defense. He is old, but very, very good.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

That keeper is a £79m disaster , but not a Frank signing.
If the expectation is Chelsea win the title, or even come second, then expect to see Frank and his diminishing barnet punditing in a TV studio quite soon. I do like himthough - English manager, brilliant player, seems alright as a bloke.
As for Ole, he’s been given too long already. The latest example of post-Ferguson United finding a way to get it wrong. If we are in the mood this weekend, I fancy us to turn them over.

They both seem to be doing OK to me

Who can legislate against #batshitmental owners, though?

He comes across as tense, defensive and ready to explode with the media.

A touch of the Nigel Pearson’s about him.

 

[BN41Albion]

I think Frank will be the Chelsea manager for some time to come.

Same. Strange thread to start imo. He's done well there so far

Nailed it.

"So that was a bad mistake by the goalkeeper, he's clearly under pressure. Are you still looking to replace him?"

"Yes it was and I'm not saying anything else about that"

Pearson/Trump standard interview.

Chelsea lose another couple of games and he'll either go full Pearson, offering the journos out, or just get Doctor Fauici to answer for him.

"Thanks folks, not you, you're fake.....:

His demeanor has changed drastically. It's interesting to discuss why this has happened.

This is a message board btw, if you hadn't noticed.......

I agree with that but they’ll still be knocking long balls over the top for Werner to run on to or just hoping for a bit of individual magic from Havertz or Pulisic and the best teams will combat that.

He’s got no shape or plan for his teams at the moment, there’s no identifiable style or tactic and he will be found out.

 

[Weststander]

He’s spent £100m’s including Pulisic and Mendy, with a CB to come. Added to squad already with the quality of Kante, Giroud, Kovacic, Jorginho, Hudson-Odo and Mount.

They should threaten to win trophies this season and top 4 is a must.

I’ve been saying it since he was at Derby where he hardly pulled up any trees with the value of that squad relative to the competition around them. No way should he have got the Chelsea job. White, ex-England golden boy, boxes ticked. No starting at Macclesfield Town for our Frank.
