Chelsea's squad is miles ahead of ours in quality. Coupled with the fact Lampard actually has a plan and it's not really a difficult one
Yeah he's supposedly extremely intelligent.Always thought Lampard would be a good manager, iirc he's supposedly very intelligent. He always came across pretty knowledgeable on the game in his punditry too.
He has an IQ of 150 putting him in the top .5% people who are the most intelligent. Einstein had an IQ of 160.Yeah he's supposedly extremely intelligent.
Ole grew up a Liverpool fan so obviously he's not going to be the sharpest knife in the drawer.Intelligence and people skills are different so maybe Ole is stronger in the latter.
much better players at chelsea. tactics need time to grow. this jorginho player is lightyears ahead of fred.You look at the patterns of play Lampard has imprinted on his side and the tempo, enthusiasm running through that squad - he’s clearly a coach with talent. Not the finished article by any means but his future is bright and by each passing week the gap between him and someone like Ole increasing at a rapid rate.
Lampard seems to actually have a vision and direction - Ole seems to have a vague idea of pressing and running and that is about it at this stage.
Look at all the different managers Frank played under. I'm not sure but Ole probably only played under SAF. I know he was good but he ruled with a rod of iron,(and a hairdryer) and Frank has seen much more than that.Ole grew up a Liverpool fan so obviously he's not going to be the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Steady on mateLook at all the different managers Frank played under. I'm not sure but Ole probably only played under SAF. I know he was good but he ruled with a rod of iron,(and a hairdryer) and Frank has seen much more than that.
The general consensus is that Frank is doing well but the young players could potentially lose a bit of confidence with a couple of bad results and its a long season. I'm excited by how it has worked out so far and am trying to keep a lid on things but it's hard when the team are playing attacking football and showing so much promise. If he, and Jody Morris, can continue to integrate the young guns into the team it could be good times ahead and comparisons with the class of '92 may not be too far off the mark. After the first match or so I had serious concerns and thought there were too many young players but with Abraham scoring the way he is and Mount chipping in I can't complain. To be honest I don't share Southgate's confidence in Mount and have thought on few occasions that he has drifted out of games. I know that is harsh but I can't help but feel CHO will do better in that position. Pulisic has more to come and Frank has got his work cut out to keep them all happy. We have an abundance of that type of player and need a bit of variation. RLC will help bring a bit of steel to the midfield and he also can push on and score.
I'm having trouble believing this can continue on the current trajectory but with Jody's knowledge of the young players and Franks intelligence and drive the sky is the limit.
Jorginho was ridiculed last season. Alot of people had Chelsea finishing outside top 6 with this squad especially after Hazard left.much better players at chelsea. tactics need time to grow. this jorginho player is lightyears ahead of fred.
I can't help myself.Steady on mate
Tory bastard though apparently?Always thought Lampard would be a good manager, iirc he's supposedly very intelligent. He always came across pretty knowledgeable on the game in his punditry too.
I can still See that happening.Jorginho was ridiculed last season. Alot of people had Chelsea finishing outside top 6 with this squad especially after Hazard left.
Football pundits are the fecking worst. ESPN FC probably top of the list with the British ones not far behind. Even the fan channels give better analysis.On a sort of unrelated note has anyone else noticed how quiet the media and general football population have become on the "Kante is a DM" garbage ever since Lampard's done the very awkward thing of using him and Jorginho (when he plays 4-3-3) the exact same way Sarri did
I honestly find it mind-blowing how all these pundits have played and in some cases managed yet have so little understanding of the game.Football pundits are the fecking worst. ESPN FC probably top of the list with the British ones not far behind. Even the fan channels give better analysis.
Chelsea's defence has been the weak point so far this season but that has improved with two clean sheets in the last two games. The defence should further improve when Rudiger comes back and apparently that will be soon. At that point I would hope Chelsea's defence then becomes better than Utd's.Never mind about tactic. They have much much better attacking mid & deeper midfield than us. I have said this before that they have better midfield & attacking mid while we have better defense. You could argue that their striker is currently looks better with stats but I'm sure Rashford & Martial could score same amount of goals or may be more goals than Abraham if they play with Chelsea right now.
They have creative & playmaker deep midfield like Kovacic & Jorginho, while we have McTomminay, Fred & Matic. Only Pogba will make it into their midfield.
They have Mount, Odoi, Pulisic while we have Pereira, Lingard & Mata.
What I see from Chelsea this season wasn't they are being clinical but they can create a lot of chances. Which something we are unable to do since there is no quality in our midfield area.
I’ve been thinking about this myself, and agree. Sarri, for all his faults, got them to the CL and implemented a much more possession heavy, controlling play style. Which I think is a much better starting point. Doesn’t really excuse our game in perpetuity though. Now, hopefully, with a run of games where we can field something closer to our 1st XI we have to start performing better.Lampard has made a good start at Chelsea. All the more impressive considering they couldn’t sign anyone and lost their best player Hazard.
Lampard's job is more continuity than rebuild. Even allowing for the transfer ban.
Ole is trying to rebuild his side. He has made good signings but it’s a long road which will require patience from both the board and supporters.
I think it's biased.Chelsea's defence has been the weak point so far this season but that has improved with two clean sheets in the last two games.

Pogba is a conundrum. Quality wise he could get into Chelsea's team but what is he. He's not a prolific goal scoring midfielder but can dominate large areas of the pitch if he's up for it. Is he a possesion winner or a creative player? Maybe all of the above but he lacks a bit of identitiy. For me Kante is the better player because he always performs and has a better engine.
I know this could appear biased but I think quality wise it's difficult to put any Utd player in the CFC team other than De Gea. Chelsea also have a bit more depth in the squad but they definitely lack experience and this is where things could go awry as the season progresses.
Right now I would say Frank's Chelsea will have the better season.

Any complaints should firstly be reconsidered after reviewing the Premier
and Champions League tables and then fully explained in writing.
I think people look at Chelsea's squad too much and away from the influence that Lampard has with the players at his disposal. There are coaches out there who if given the same resources would mismanage the current bunch and have them underperforming.If you swapped them around you would probably find Lampard would still do the better job. Not surprising as he is the better manager.
I’d take AWB and Martial into the starting line up.I know this could appear biased but I think quality wise it's difficult to put any Utd player in the CFC team other than De Gea.

I agree with Pogba and (in form) Martial but I disagree about Maguire. I rate him as a player but I feel he lacks the recovery pace that is crucial in our system.I think it's biased.
Pretty sure Pogba, Maguire & Martial also could. May be James, Rashford & Bissaka in debate. Like I said before you are only ahead of us in midfield & attacking mid. The number 1 reason we are struggling because we don't have enough creative player in midfield to create chances. Put Abraham in our squad, he won't score more than 2 goals in open play so far because we aren't creating chances for our strikers.
Pace is such an overrated excuse. Hummels has no pace and he's fine with it. It's the same with Maguire. No way Tomori, Zouma & Christense are currently better than Maguire that he can't make it into Chelsea's defense.I agree with Pogba and (in form) Martial but I disagree about Maguire. I rate him as a player but I feel he lacks the recovery pace that is crucial in our system.
Nah, Ole just needs 5 more years to build his team and any losses during the rebuild is not his fault.We will have the better season IMO. Ole is out of his depth, should never have had the job. Look at the way both sides play right now, only one is showing signs of what the manager wants, and it isnt Utd
Dont forget about needing respect.Nah, Ole just needs 5 more years to build his team and any losses during the rebuild is not his fault.
