Bad decision after one season at Derby.... 3 hours ago, bajthejambo said: Lampard wasn't good enough to coach at that level. Having better players won him games, but he struggles tactically against a lot of the other managers in that league. It's not a coincidence that Chelsea hadn't won a game against a top 6/7/8 side this season. Abramovich is ruthless, he's sacked Mourinho twice! Chelsea have remained competitive and won trophies through the entirety of his ownership though. It's hard to be overly critical of his methods. Tough one. Frank is right to believe in himself. But he really hasn't shown much as a coach yet. I support Chelsea's approach. It's been successful though eventually you do have give people a bit of time. Frank does do well occasionally in games. Maybe 1 in 20. But he's out of his depth and badly exposed this season. Chelsea have looked clueless at times. That more than results has lost him his job.

High-profile Rangers fan Frank Lampard has sealed a return to the club perhaps dearest to his heart – Chelsea. The Stamford Bridge club’s greatest ever goalscorer (despite being a midfielder) Lampard takes up the managerial hot seat in West London. The 41-year-old was unveiled today as he replaces now Juventus boss Maurizio Sarri and looks to bring Premier League glory back to Chelsea.Speaking in the run-up to Rangers match with Panathinaikos on the road to the UEFA Cup Final, Frank was quoted in the Daily Record. “I’m a Rangers fan and definitely feel they can get past Panathinaikos and into the next round,” said Lampard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is still a rookie manager but a club legend so why not give him time? This is a weird season with the pandemic going on - several teams could feasibly win the league. Look at where Liverpool are for example. For once, Abramovich should have showed some patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes been lucky with the covid outbreaks in other euro sides but Sevco are paying him huge money. More than double Lennon's salary plus the player budget is getting on double Benfica's 20m euro.

What's his tactical plan? What's been the Chelsea game plan? How would you assess the poor results? Eg Liverpool 0-2, Arsenal 1-3, Leicester 0-2 etc. How do you explain his team selection and positioning eg where Werner, Haverz have played on pitch (or on bench)? Give us the plus points then.

That is it in a nutshell. All his plus points were as a club player. I like him but he really has struggled in the manager role. Got his team in the Champions League is the only plus. Then again you could argue that was more to do with Leicester being rubbish once the league started again. Hudson Odoi always looks the part when he comes on as a sub but never seems to start the next game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do make a decent point in Leicester fecking up. I do feel the job came too quick for him though. He couldn't turn it down. Played by Abramovic here, put in someone the fans would back while they had the embargo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
