Frank Lampard | Coventry City?

37 league goals in 37 games played

Not just a lampard thing of course. But a goal a game is quite something
 
He is an awful manager. Absolute zero sense of tactics. He is lucky to not lose by 5 or 6 goals. The game could have been 8-2
 
Chelsea have been lucky they havent been on the end of some stupid scorelines this season.

Can you imagine anyone wanting to hire him after this?
 
The players have checked out for the season .. There is no way Chelsea are THAT bad..

easily the worst defensive side we have played this season..
 
He appeared to be deflecting away any notion that he had a role to play in all of this, while his other project lies in 17th needing a win to stay in the division.

He has chosen his jobs horribly, but this season is not just a blot on his CV, he has knocked over the ink and completely destroyed it. It’s been a car crash.

He seems determined to make a coaching career work, but he will have to dive into the depths now if he has any chance of rescuing this one. How much does he want it?

I was amazed when Tyler said 4-0 would be their worst loss of the season (joint worst iirc). I assumed theyd have had much worse.

Unlike us being quite good most of the season and throwing in some shockers, Chelsea have just been consistently bad, low scoring draws and losing by a goal or two again and again.
 
I love it when he says “it’s not about the tactics, it’s about the ‘basics’” as a way of saying it’s got nothing to do with him. What a tool.

He's a habit of that. In his defence, their squad is a random collection of who was available when Boehly came in but he rarely sees defeats as anything to do with him.
 
Well. This game is just a replica of the one we scored four against them though it was at the beginning of season. Yeah, it’s under ole and now ETH. But they lose in the same way. Interesting.
 
I'm going to say the same qualities that made him such a good player are working against him as a manager, which isn't at all uncommon.

The twisted irony being you rarely see it overcome or turned around. You also rarely see top players go on to be top managers, which isn't a coincidence.

If he wants to go on and be even close to his uncle's level, he's going to have to discard a lot of what has served him so well in his professional life.
 
Their tactics yesterday were hilarious, not quite sure what the structure was meant to be. Saying that the finishing of some players is disgustingly bad, for some reason all luck has failed Chelsea this season.
 
His hair is falling out like it’s on fire. Management isn’t for everyone.
 
Go back 16 or 17 pages and you have Chelsea fans pretending this loser is a better manager than ole. Mental.

Think they've all given up on the season and it was more like "throw young players in and let's see what they can show us?". Don't think they expected to get anything out of the Arsenal/City/United/Newcastle games. How Liverpool managed two goal less draws against this lot is beyond me.

I don't agree, as shit as this season has been we've been pretty good defensively for the most part.

Before Lampard returned we had the 3rd best.

I think that's because teams would go 1-0 up against you then could just ease off and rest safe in the knowledge you weren't scoring.

I think he feels it will also be another story of him proving himself against all the critics which is why he keeps persisting.

The top 3 all "only" beat us by one goal under Potter and didn't score for over an hour and i don't think had that many chances despite being the better team overall.

The potential/likely champions of the Bundesliga also only netted past us once in two games. Liverpool couldn't manage a goal against us in two games.
 
Should have resigned after the Real Madrid second leg, like Keegan did for England. Clearly not up to the job. Silva or Azpi as player manager would have been better.

This isn't the right way of looking at it. How many non top players do you see go on to be top managers?

You're way more likely to be a top manager having been a player than if you were a non-player. Both have long odds though.
 
Bad move for both Chelsea and him. Can't see how he will even get a job at a Championship side after this. But with all the money he earned during his player and short manager career, pretty sure he will blow his nose in sadness to 50 pounds notes as tissues.
 
He should head to another county and try to rebuild some sort of a rep.
 
It would be a joke if he gets a better job before ole, Frank is bang awful

He would get a job at the Championship level easily.

And he's rich. And he's managed at the PL level, 3 times. He's had 3 chances at it already, more than most people can say.
 
Pretty stupid move replacing Potter with this guy, I swear the guy was just finding his feet with the comedy bloated squad and then they give it to a bad caretaker manager who pretty much relegated his last team, has no authority being caretaker and form goes from bad to fecking appalling. This Boehly chap is a prime d*ckhead on a par with Woodward, getting his just desserts .
