With 9 players on the bench let them be there. 3 days in training should be enough.

3 defeats in a row is relegation form.

Sadly people will support lampard no matter what the results just bc he is a player legend.

I think the thing that is helping Frank is people are really focused on Arsenal falling apart and what will happen to Arteta. Ole had the eye of Sauron on him, but seems to have survived.

It's a cliche but it probably also helps Lampard that he's English. Would be interesting to see the media reaction if the results continue to go south.

If we continue to go south, the media will chase the story. He may very well be getting a slight pass because the English press want to see an English manager and beloved son succeed. As long as Roman is willing to have patience, Frank is fortunate that he has built that bond with the press through both playing and he is pretty accommodating to the press.

If you were FL, would you do it better? How? Think of it carefully before you answer. It is easy said than done. 

Yes, we do have opinions. We do think that our ways are the best. However, nobody is stupid. Everybody has his/her own reasons to do something. Do you know football more than FL? I don't defend him. I just want you to be fair.

This is what I was also thinking when we appointed him. 

I genuinely believe though that the media will starting look at Lampard's failures if we lose to West Ham for the 3rd time in a row (all under Moyes of all people), that has never happened in our history, 3rd consecutive loss and drop to 10th in the table. 

Not true, the first one was Pellegrini.

But at the same time I feel Ole gets a lot more stick than Arteta. Yeah, I get Lamps is English but Arteta isn't and he seems to be treated as the second coming of Christ. Because he learned from Pep, it seems the media portrayed him as some great before he barely started his managerial career. I think even now, he is not getting as much slack as previous Arsenal managers have. This is their worst start in how many years???

Agree on Arteta but the 'Will Arteta get the sack?' stories are already floating about.

Would hope that Werner plays ST and Havertz on the right if CHO/Ziyech aren't ready. The only way to recover their form is to keep playing them

Love this post - eye of Sauron 🤣🤣🤣

So true though. 

Maybe our Hobbits can save us Frodo Pulisic and Samwell Ziyech 👍

Wolves was a must win, we blew it like amateurs, now this is def a must win or down we will go. Losing 3 on the bounce is not acceptable in any shape or form if we wanna go places.

[MoroccanBlue 5,382]

I genuinely fear the worst for Lampard should we fail to get 3 points here. 

[Jase 43,479]

One assumes this doesn't affect the men's side since there's the bubble and all...
