Abacus Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Wonder what his understanding of the training ground is like. "This is where we do training. The cones are in the big cupboard, Kai." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) It is daft but it's a free hit for Lampard to rebuild his reputation isn't it, he either does ok, which may persuade a minnow of a club to take a chance on him, he does terribly, in which case he's probably no worse off than now when he's been binned off as a premier league coach, or he wins the champions league by fluke (chelsea fucking love doing that don't they?) in which case he will inevitably get given the job at chelsea then get a massive payoff in october when reality has sunk in that he's not good enough. For chelsea guess appeals to the fans to buy in, he'll be probably ok at motivating dressing room but how he's going to parse the enourmous squad. Tactically he will be hopeless but that may be a relief from Potter's overthinking. I predict he will get some results but lose the big games badly, everyone will shrug and proper operator will come in in summer despite calls from media shouting for him to be given the job permanently for no reason. Boehly may relent, he does seem an idiot. There is clearly decent coach willing to jump on board late season, what is in it for them? Another two months out of work isn't going to diminish their reputation too much but two months crashing and burning in a dumpster fire may do.

FinnMag Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Lampard is just a lame experiment to calm fans via nostalgia. And this is Win-win for Frankie boy, no pressure and hefty pile of money to bank account. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emotic Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 He’d better hire that climate protestor to zip tie himself to a goalpost every Chelsea match if he is thinking of winning them. His tactics are Neanderthal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally think there's a strong likelihood that would happen. He'll get some sort of new manager bounce and, let's face it, with the players they've got, sticking all 11 players in their right position would go some way to making that happen.

WilliamPS Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Tbf Lampard is just caretaker - no chance he will get it full time. The owners probably accept top 4 is gone, and Potter was not going to mastermind beating Madrid over two legs was he? So binning now and starting to plan for next season makes some sense. Lampards job is to improve the mood music, cheer everyone up, then piss off in the summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I hope Potter gets the Leicester gig, seems like a perfect fit, he's a very good coach (Brighton are the only team we struggled with this year) and if he's given a few quid to buy his players they could be great to watch.

Interpolic Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I've not seen any evidence yet that Potter knows how to play a system with an actual striker who scores goals, I guess we'll see in years to come whether it was just a quirk in his first few years but atm it seems very fucking weird Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
