Most peoples issue with Ole isnt the fact that he came from Molde but that he still doesnt have a defined style of play after more than a year. If you also add context to it which your post was severely lacking you will notice that they are sitting 4th after bringing in nobody. That is a great feat in itself and I doubt Abramovich is considering the sack given the lack of transfers.
Chelsea lost their best player who used to carry their attack and didn't replace that while last season we had the same players mourinho left us with. In my personal opinion I dont think Chelsea have a great squad. Our squad is much better than theirs man for man. 1.62 points per game isnt very good but not surprising. I thought they would linger around 10th back in august but they have overachieved.
That's fine, but my point wasn't about criticizing Lampard or calling for his head at all. It's just that seeing the guy being praised generously by the same people who's bashing Ole on a daily basis makes me laugh. I think it's fair to rate one more than the other as this is all subjective in the end, but the picture being painted on here with Frankie being the clever student and Ole nothing more than a clueless clown doesn't sustain itself anymore.
Last season when Ole made no signings he got third more points in the league (2 per game) with a decent run in tournaments, and that wasn't enough for this place. But now poor form over 15 games is not relevant, 1.62 points per game is fine, poor displays against big teams don't matter, nor how they're playing worse and worse as the season goes by.
This is why I'd like to know the rules or the standards on here to rate managers, cause I'm seeing some contradictions and strange things. Frank is doing it nice because he's 4th, but getting third more points was not enough last season. Recent form and drop in performances was relevant back then, now it's not. Signing the Molde manager after 10 years in the game was a comical choice, but signing Lampard after a season with Derby doesn't represent a problem because he's so clever, and so on.
I think many people had some fun bashing Ole and using Lampard as the example to learn from, but honestly I think it's time to move on from there. The joke is not funny anymore.
