cross and pray system?

I did

Give me a break man, I said this 1.5 months ago and you roasted me

We lost against an Arsenal C team, don't see how them being 3 starters out changes much. Won't get too many chances IMO and when we do it'll end up with a pass to the full backs for a cross and pray

I always support us to win on a game by game basis, but I'm also a long term thinker. If we win against city by accident, it'll just cover up the cracks for the inevitable which I think some of you "real" fans are missing?

Oscar at least had some flair

Understand that, but I think there should be at least some progress and at least some attempt some interplay. That's also why LampardOut for me because it really does look like this is his philosophy per the interview post Villa game.

Depends, at least for me. If it's another cross and pray game I don't care if we win.

Reading the title of this thread - hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Not the long term solution but good enough to get us top 4. This was known as the start; he will be second GK or leave starting next season. Horrible ball control skills after saves with massive rebounds. Poor, unorthodox technique as well.

I think we'll only sack him when we're hovering at mid table come Feb/March. Ironic how when we need to board/Abramovitch to be rash and ruthless they're not because of past experiences. If there is a time, it's now while we can still salvage the season!

We should absolutely not go for Rice considering Lampard has no idea what he's doing (buying him because he's the next young english player) and he'll be minimum $70mm. IMO Lampard should not be given any more funds, but some of the technical personnel should buy who they think would solidify out approach to top 4. Hope/think FL will be out sooner rather than later

The EPL is so overrated lol

Further evidence of how poor we are

money talks

if FL really loves the club he'll resign now on the basis he's out of his depth

It's clear and obvious Lampard's only attacking tactic is cross. It's beyond ridiculous now - the players don't even think just cross and hope

I don't like when players turn against the manager to get them out but now it seems totally justified with Lampard Crossing FC. Werner, Pulisic, and Havertz must be fuming thinking what they got themselves into

Poor poor poor. Lampard probably wrote books called "the art of crossing" and "parking the bus after scoring" and gives it to the players to read as homework

Always knew he's not good enough to be our top keeper for the long-term; good enough solution for the rest of the season tho. He rebounds balls after saves like a wall

Tuchel looks good for me but my mate who is a BVB supporter said stay away... At the same time I don't think there's too many managers out there where every single football fan is a strong supporter of (maybe only Klopp, Pep, Nagelsmann, Simeone?)

Lampard can turn a 35 goal scorer into absolute shambles, along with one of Europe's top talents (if not brightest talent) in Havertz. Out!

I'm worried that because of his status it will take a while to sack him; at the same time I do have hope in Abramovitch that he'll make the right call. I also hope Marina has started working in the background to locate possible replacements because the sooner Lampard is gone the better - there are fundamental issues which began from the first game of the season.

Waiting for Lampard to be sacked this week so won't comment on this game yet

I don't think it has ever worked, we just got lucky and also played some pretty poor teams. I was going on how all Lampard can do is cross the ball a while ago and everyone including yourself thought I was an idiot. I knew this implosion of the team would happen; you can't sustain a full season with your only attack being crosses. Lampard is way out of his depth and the players are now against him because this isn't what they signed up for.
