Here’s what I genuinely expect next season:
No more 343. With the recruitment coming in, I will not accept any shithousery when this team has already shown they are capable playing progressive football.
We should now be comfortably closing games out. Granted, Pulisic has shown to be our only match winner this season, but with the inclusion of Werner, Havertz, and Ziyech, we now have game winners across the pitch.
Organization on counters. Lampard will have had now almost 16 months in management and I expect him to improve on our organisation when our players are in the third and lose the ball.
Defending set pieces. Whether or not we improve on GK, LB, and CB, defending set pieces should not be as much as a problem it was for us this season. This is simply coaching. The moment we reverted to man marking, this has improved ten fold.
Lastly, IN GAME MANAGEMENT. I expect now, with a year of experience and the new recruitment, Lampard will take the initiative and address issues immediately in game before it’s too late.
