They would've been fine even if they kept Vieira. They sacked him off the back of a nightmare run (which kills confidence) and brought in Hodgson when their fixtures remaining were all pretty much bottom half sides and that's it.

Could do with late Brighton sending offs
Lampard actually believing he's a top manager?? The guy is shameless in taking all these jobs. But more fool Everton and Chelsea. These frauds really need to park their egos and do a Kompany/Carrick. Those two already have a higher stock than Lampard.
Kane being dirty, the ref and VAR ignoring it of course.
0.58 xG conceded away to Chelsea... Meh. Not a huge deal that.
That's a red for kane!!!! Dirty cnut
No need for throwing C bombs like that about
Wasn't it ownership issues, who is agent was etc.
What? Yes we are.
If that was Casemiro (with this Head kick of Kane) he would have been sent off
They were barely creating any chances under Vieira, it was getting stale. They’re playing with so much freedom now. Could just be a new manager bounce but it was needed.
I know we joke about this, but genuinely if that was casemiro it would've been a straight red!! Can't believe Kane got away with that one, a deliberate stamp!!
Forget the stats because it doesn't take into consideration Chelsea getting into good positions and either making the wrong choice or failing to get the shot away
Yeah, watch them give him the gig permanently then sack him by xmas.
Are you joking or actually being serious?
Whoever they have scouting for them in South America, we need to sign them up.
Brighton are quite evidently better at keeping the ball than us and it's because they have better technical players specifically in their midfield, hence why we've been linked with two of their midfielders
Fecking hell, what's up with those Brighton medics, really? 
Lampard started his managerial career the exact same way as Carrick: at a Championship club...
Yeah, we didn't know the right people, they did.
God knows why a 5bn rated club couldn't pay people to figure it out but it is what it is.
Not watching. Are they like Chippendales or something?Fecking hell, what's up with those Brighton medics, really?
Are these Brighton lads physios or bouncers?
How is it that VAR did not look at Kane's situation?
Because we keep holding onto limited players like McTominay for squad depth or something. There is no place in the team for unproven players, but many for proven to be not good players.
But this Frank Lampard temporary was supposed to be so "perfect" according to many journos. Eegits.
Jacked ...Fecking hell, what's up with those Brighton medics, really?
After last weekend they are probably terrified of checking anything.
Palace might be ahead of Chelsea next week
This semi final.... Yikes.
Oh good lord. It got worse.
So let me get this straight.
Players who you deem to be NOT technically excellent are:
Casemiro
Bruno
Rashford
Varane
Martinez
Garnacho
Antony
I am speechless.
They looked at it for exactly 3 seconds which was enough to discard the three kicks Kane had at Bournemouth's defender.
You don't understand what technically excellent means.
No, you quite clearly don’t.
Why is Kepa starting ahead of Mendy as GK if both are fit ?
We can only hope
Mendy went all to pot I think, then he was injured. Kepa did quite well.
You realize how stupid that sounds? And yes I’m aware we didn’t balk at price, but we also clearly weren’t sure enough to figure it out like Brighton managed, and let a great young prospect (that wanted to join us) just go somewhere else out of pure incompetence
So you also think those players aren’t technically excellent? Why do we have so many clueless fans.We can only hope
They basically exclusively played top half sides post Christmas, and only really had the 1 truly shit game vs Spurs (and Fulham where they got 2 first half Reds), other than that never lost by more than 1 goal, had a good chunk of decent draws, against tough teams... It is just far easier to play Leicester and Southampton than it is to play Arsenal, Brighton, city, United, Newcastle, Liverpool, brentford.. etc. Hell their underlying stats in most of these games weren't even that bad. It was purely a nightmare schedule that they panicked on when in reality, they were doing relatively OK overall, especially to expectations and were never going to actually be in danger.
Really hope Chelsea get dragged into the relegation battle. Everyone down there is getting points.
