Infinitely Content Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 He needs to get Champions League football for next season. If the board decide that they're unsure if they're on course for it I can easily see them sacking him. They're one of the ruthless clubs in the world when it comes to managers.

hakka Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Alli as first signing? Would be perfect league for him. Bit less physical and he has plenty of technique to flourish. I'd imagine Poch would get him back to his best and he'd be a top player in that league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 He's been very handsomely backed this summer and has had more time than Benitez, Scolari, Hiddink, Sarri, Di Matteo and Villas Boas - yet his points-per-game is comfortably lower. You'd think that if it was someone other than Frank Lampard, he'd have already gone by now, regardless of the restrictions he's been working under for a significant percentage of his custody of the side. Bit of a pity in a way, not that I'll ever strong feelings for what will always ultimately be a pretty rancid club; but I kinda liked what he was doing with the young homegrown players last season. He's now been provided with some unreal players from the continent and hasn't sussed how to make it work; you don't get very long to do that at Chelsea/most elite clubs. Tuchel too obvious a shout?

astraguy Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Do we really believe these signings we're all Lampard's though? The way chelsea go about things i doubt it. Him and Gerrand seem like good up and coming managers but frank took the higher job far to quick same would happen if Gerrand went to liverpool if klopp got binned for not winning the league again. Never get why he hardly picks Giroud though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never get why he hardly picks Giroud though Probably not but it's not exactly the same as Conte been thrown Drinkwater, Barkley and Bakayoko and being expected to retain the balance he had with a much better previous squad. Lampard has been given colossal upgrades and isn't making it work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abra Dubravka Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Seems to swing either way with Lampard and Chelsea every couple of weeks, 1 win in 8 doesn't look good though. Their downturn has coincided with a handful of teams kicking on again though, so the table doesn't look good on him. Whenever I've seen them I've always thought they look better when playing Giroud.

xLiaaamx Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 They've supposedly played nice football and done well under him. But he's now a management equivalent of Morelos.

Ameritoon Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 The fact he lasted as long as he did is an achievement. Thought for sure he'd glass someone outside of a Pizza Express within a year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
