Franks for nothing

[termninja 5,290]

Who knows whats happening behind the scenes..could be true, could be not...we can't know. AVB will come out and ignore or deny things and the press will accuse.

Something is definitely happening though and the team harmony is not at its best.

Poor little Frank... He hasn't been thanked for doing his job. Tough life *cry*

It's a bit harsh because he just eased the pressure off AVB a bit more. I know he's not playing like he used to, but he still has a lot to give.

Frank should STFU if he really feels that way. He is a legend and I will always love and respect him for what he's done for the club but he is simply not good enough to be starting anymore and that is a fact. The only reason he's even getting the gametime he is right now is because our midfield is absolutely awful.

If we actually had a couple of half-decent attacking midfielders in our squad, he wouldn't get half the minutes he's gotten so far

I still believe Lampard is a better option then Meireles.

Something clearly isn't going right.

What on earth are you talking about?!

Peace has been one of our better analytical members, his views are fair and he hands out a lot of praise for players when they demonstrate it. You clearly aren't reading his posts enough.

Emmm, like what exactly? This is what Lampard has been doing since he had that injury at the start of last season:

1) Get the ball while he is facing the opponent's goal

2) Look up, sees a player chasing him down

3) Knows he can no longer outrun or dribble from them

4) Turns back and passes it to JT, Romeu

OR ( )

5) Turn left and passes it to Cole

6) If bosingwa/cole or mata do manage to somehow drive our team forward, watch him run into the box like old times desperate to score.

Don't get me wrong, those lampard-esque runs are what has made him such a phenomenal player over the last decade but he always had more to his game in the past. He was never the kaka/zidane type of player who could run 30 yards or so and dribble past two or three players, but he could always play in those neat, incisive passes up to Drogba/Anelka (remember the villa game two seasons ago), put sneijder-esque balls over the defenders into CF's path, could score from outside the box/freekicks ( ). As much as it hurts me to say this, he is now a shadow of a player he once was! Yes, he'll make those runs into the box and maybe get onto the end of crosses but playing 99% of your game in the middle of the park, 40 yards away from the front three is what makes our play so stagnant. I swear next time Chelsea play with him in our starting eleven, watch his general overall play and the positions he has started taking up in the middle of the park around the 40-45 yard mark, left of the centre spot mark. Compare that to 2 or 3 seasons ago and it might just click into place. And please don't start blaming AVB for this, if its down to formations, mind explaining why lampard is usually behind romeu, right next to cole or terry these days when we have the possesion and are literally passing it about around the centre circle.

The thing I find quite sad is how Lampard insists on starting every match when he can accept that at 34 years old, he can start playing the role Scholes did at United and help the club through mentoring young players and having 30 mins cameos when we need someone to come on and consolidate a lead!

He is past it and its time we moved on...

There, I said it
