LAM09 7,054 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 not just inept they took it out on Giroud over Conte besting them Inter were literally the only team who rates Moses, so that was a no brainer but Giroud is another creature plus there is a strong hatred of Deschamps too because of Kante so I see this as a cheapshot at him as well (not that the fuckstick doesn't deserve it)So petty. Goes to show how messed up some people within the club are (Lampard throw into the mix too). Vesper and Atomiswave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 About to face Bayern in the CL and people have already given up on that just like the board have in this window. A club of this size with Lampard in charge, a proper club legend who has spoken to them about what he wants and they still do not deliver. On top of this we are fighting for the top 4 with people speaking like it's ours, and we don't buy a single player with all that Hazard money in the bank? And people aren't worried or bothered if injuries happen? It's fucking crazy, and to put things into context, we are one injury away from Batshuayi leading our line....For fucks sake.

I posted over and over that Cavani said it was 100% Atletico or bust, whether this window or on a free in the summer his mum confirmed this I also said from the beginning that Mertens was going nowhere, that it was all bullshit contract games I do not expect anyone to take my word as gospel, but I do feel vindicated on those 2 players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be pure madness and I would be raging then. I'm sure once the options for Cavani and Mertens weren't happening, we still could have secured a loan deal for another striker, but would we have found one as good as Giroud or Batshuayi? There's been links to us, Spurs and United for Slimani! If we're talking this level then you might as well stick with what you've got. Like I've said before, Lampard needs to find a way or have more confidence in giving opportunities to Giroud for the rest of the season. Or we go and buy a striker who we maybe could get this window but Lampard and the club aren't 100% on. That's the recipe for long term pain over short term gain when we're stuck with another striker come the summer that we'd probably rather move on than keep alongside Batshuayi, and potentially hindering any other pursuits. I'd rather we're buying a player challenging Tammy for the number 1 spot, not Batshuayi for the number 2 spot. The board can be blamed for not able to sign anyone this month perhaps but I don't think Lampard should be excused for the way he has managed this squad TBH. I mean yeah, Pedro and Giroud aren't great anymore but could he have made better use of them? Both of them started the season well but they suddenly got tossed aside - Giroud after the Super Cup game and Pedro after getting injured. Like why? He had rather flogged Willian, Pulisic and Abraham to death rather than put a bit more trust in them.

Vesper 30,178 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 IF Tammy goes down in the next 4 games and is out for multiple weeks or longer we are going to struggle to qualify for the EL, let alone the CL at that point it is either ram in Giroud or go to false nine strictly as an example, Bats leading the line over the next 17 games (assuming it is Victimpool in the FA Cup) tempts fate in terms of losing at least 65% of the remaining games overall even with Tammy playing in all it is going to be a huge slog if we drop the next 4 killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,178 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 lolol SOUTHAMPTON IN TALKS TO LAND MADDOX ON LOAN https://readsouthampton.com/2020/01/31/southampton-in-talks-to-land-maddox-on-loan/ snip This seems like a strange deal, given that Maddox had his loan at League One side Tranmere cancelled earlier this month. He only managed one appearance for the club before having his loan cut short, suggesting that he was unable to make an impact in League One. If he is not able to play regularly at League One level, why would he be able to make the step up to the top half of the Premier League? Last season he played 38 games as an attacking midfielder for Cheltenham in League Two, registering just one goal. Taking all of this into consideration, and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Jame Ward-Prowse both being in the top four for WhoScored ratings in the Southampton squad, this move does not add up. His stats in League One and League Two do not suggest that he is of the required level to improve Southampton’s team or even get regular minutes in the side.

However, we're on our knees in a number of positions so if the right player was not avaiable we should've got a stop gap. No way, I had enough of stop gap and big wages. We stick with what we got. It's the best thing. If you can't get your players don't buy no more. That's why our team is so mediocre. Alabama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think probably a bit of inexperience for Lampard has contributed to this position. I can understand why he didn't want to change things up when we were on that winning streak though, and since then the lack of game time has really showed up Pedro and Giroud in the odd games and minutes they have had since.

Davekelly35 18 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I feel sorry for Lampard. It will take a miracle to make top four. Any manager that takes over will have the same problem. Whatever position we finish I can’t blame frank. I can see players leaving at the end of the day maybe Giroud even tho we don’t have a replacement smh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inexperience or just being stubborn? I still remember Pedro and Giroud were suddenly thrown into the starting XI against West Ham and they looked awful (hardly a surprise). It's like Lampard expected two oldies to suddenly just turn it on having not played them for some time. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
