Add Torp too
Add Torp tooIt's less bringing through but more getting the best from what is a young squad
Thomas
Kitching
Binks
Simms
Rudoni
EMC
Dovin
These are all arguably still not established as top players yet at this level
just the bookies 2nd favHave I missed something? Where did the Eustace rumours come from?
Think Gimoc mentioned him on the manager threadHave I missed something? Where did the Eustace rumours come from?
On eustace , I absolutely do not believe that's an upgrade at all and would be a cheap shit appointment
True, struggling with injuries despite the size of the squad - I mean deck.This is nonsense, you could make the "relied on their best players" argument about any manager / head coach in the world, including Pep Guardiola.
Just give me Lampard at this point. I’ve drunk the kool-aid
Lovely to still see one of those bikes around isn't it.Chopper went over yesterday and this morning!
Oh well at least there's no insults this time.
Being on a forum for more than a decade doesn't determine which team you support.
Where has Eustace talk came from?On eustace , I absolutely do not believe that's an upgrade at all and would be a cheap shit appointment
Mount, Reese James, Abraham, Tomori he brought through in his first season there. Yes these are exceptional players but it's all relative to the level, they still got a top 4 spot. Kovacic got player of the season so it wasn't all the youngsters either.
You are allowed an opinion but I'm just pointed out it is misguided.
Had a season ticket since 1999, apologies that I didn’t mention the tone of blue ten years ago.
He had an exceptional set of kids to bring through there. There’s no equivalent here with Kai Andrews and Aiden Dausch.
These were his most played players. Outside of Mount and Abraham and Pusilic (who had been signed from Borussia Dortmund for almost £60m) there’s not really “kids” there.

You could argue without Mount and Abraham coming of age when they did he’d have struggled at Derby too.
I’m just not seeing the evidence for this meme that he’s bringing on loads of young players. Mount and Abraham were hardly unknowns beforehand.
No ones talking about Dausch or Andrews ffsHe had an exceptional set of kids to bring through there. There’s no equivalent here with Kai Andrews and Aiden Dausch.

He didn’t have Abraham at Derby. He’d spent the season on loan at Villa.

What you’ve shown actually supports their argument. Youngish players (>25) with a few seasons under their belt but not necessarily established at the level. That describes about half our squad.
Tomori came in from Chelsea along with Mount.My mistake. The other three he got who weren’t Mount then. Was it Wilson?

He got top 4 in the prem. I’m surprised how much that gets overlooked.And he just about got them achieving what they should for a season before failing and being replaced with someone who achieved the same with that squad from a lower start.
I’m just not seeing anything that suggests he gets more from a deck than the median at best. It may be our median is top six, Doug seems to think so, I’m not convinced.

They lost Hazard (by far their best player) and had a transfer ban, so no replacement. It’s an impressive achievement.
Using your logic anything other than 5th place last season was a catastrophic failure on the part of Robins

And you are choosing to completely ignore the elements of the Lampard management history which endorse any reason for giving him a chance.If we are pretending to be meme goldfish with season long memories sure. You can keep trying to bring up Robins in comparison but robins was manager for seven years because he delivered.
Any new manager should be delivering too. I’m concerned we’re going for a name that’s a mates kid instead of trying to get someone in with the tactical knowledge we are desperately missing.
Top 6 in the playoffs with an impressive 2 leg win over Bielsa’s Leeds.He got top 4 in the prem. I’m surprised how much that gets overlooked.

Give us your pick then so we can trash it; n the same manner. Do you actually know it's a mates kid or just choosing to believe it because someone posted it on here ?

Are you saying they should have been 3rd in his year? 1 place off where they should be … if we go off the season expectations I’ll take that.
That’s the badger. Point is unless we decide to break the bank on loans, which King has explicitly ruled out and could easily rule in with any manager, there’s little evidence of Lampard improving a squad.
We had loans lined up in the summer but for a variety of reasons they fell through. So that isn't correct.
My thoughts are the same.When/if he’s announced I’ll swing behind him cos it’s my club, but it really worries meme.
