Okay then using the exact same metric with no projections on points total if we have a shocking season but still finish above City then we can't sack Lampard because we finished above a team funded by a country.
I'll be the first to call for a change if I believe there's not enough progress but I'll be basing it on our own performances not what other teams do.

Our projected points based on how we started the season is definitely not 90 points mate, the same goes for Spurs. I think we'll get 75-85 points and thats me being generous, if Spurs get the same and finish above us then you have to question your manager rookie or not.

In this hectic season, it's very easy to understand that no one except for Liverpool(who've done it before) can get 90+ points.

Mourinho's expiry date is due to expire like a fight with someone or annoy someone then the group will turn on him.

A big reason we finished 30 points behind was because of the naivety in not only the squad, but the manager. To suggest we can make up those 30 points in the space of a season, one that's congested as this and no preseason, is unrealistic. We saw last night the same naivety we saw all last season. It is still there and can't go away over night. You are asking quite a lot if you expect a title challenge. 
Lampard's task was to comfortably finish in the Top 4. He doesn't do that, we won't challenge next season and I would actually lose my faith in him to carry us forward. 

You should apply context and understand where I'm coming from. I dont expect us to close the gap on the Liverpool team we faced last season but do I expect us to close the gap on the injured Liverpool side we're facing now? Hell yes. I'm not naive enough to believe we'll get 90+ points but I don't think Liverpool will get those kind of numbers. So based on that I believe we should challenge and close the gap.

Liverpool can go 4-5 points clear at the top if they win their next 2 games.

Roy Hodgson is a boss, underrated midtable manager

At least they dropped some points. Not expecting Fulham to do the same against Liverpool.
