Milan 17,957 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Yes but you're assuming that he will be a starter for most of our matches, does he still have the legs for a 50-match season?He is intelligent enough to know whether yes or not. He has said many times that he wants to continue playing for some years and that he knows he needs to take care of himself. He won't rush himself. He also stated he feels very good and has no problems so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robdog 2,084 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 For those keeping count, Supa Frank is only 15 behind Tambling. This could be the season he breaks the mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bababoom 4,478 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Wasn't his best game i thought, gave the ball away far too many times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Nope, bad game. Not surprising tbh, the consistency is gone. Shouldn't be a starter week in, week out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bababoom 4,478 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Lampard needs to be more disciplined, he's in the pivot, he cant run forward every time, it leaves Mikel vulnerable. I doubt RDM will drop Lampard, so he just needs to be told to stay back a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson 358 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 He didn't have a bad game. Was average. He's in the time scoring goals and we are winning so shut the fuck up and sit down. Why change if are winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naked Mole Rat 437 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 To be fair, the Reading players surrounded Lampard whenever he was in possession, but he needs to be more aware when he's on the ball. It isn't the first time he's had that sort of display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klopfzeichen 78 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 This guy is a problem. He's not a deep lying playmaker which is the type of player that we need. He gets easily out of position leaving Mikel exposed and it seems he can't play one touch football. Needs to be dropped.

Land 331 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'm glad u r not the manager... RDM just need to play him in other role with other instructions.There is no other role he can play.Maybe AM but there are clearly at least 3 better options.I personally didnt think he played as bad as some people are making it look.There is one simple problem:He is 34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson 358 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 So you'd rather start Mikek over Lampard? Hahahaa fuck off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I want someone to have the courage to drop Lampard for good. He is becoming a liability. Gives the ball away far too much. Keeping the ball starts with the double pivots. We probably won't buy a DM so we should tryEssien OscarOr for real stabilityEssien Romeu Justin_3d 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

didierforever 7,349 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 You obviously were watching a completely different game...no i was not. we had 2 men in the midfield- lamps and mikel and mikel is no help in possession. so except for the 10-15 mins towards the end of the 1st half where we kept losing possession, inthe whole match it was lamps who got our attack started. moreover he was literally outnumbered 2 to1 or 3 to1 in mid with the reading plan being to press both lamps and mikel, so both hazard n mata found themselves in some space.
