Lampard Interview (1 Viewer)

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

You could say Awonyi, Pinnock and Onyeka were cast offs that were very good servants but not getting games in their clubs for a reason.

Thing is they’re the seasoned ones we’ve bought in. We’re not in the position to be waving 40-50m at players but we were in a position to get stronger players.

 

[Frankly_Mr_Shankly]

Dumping Simms from the team after a good performance against City will ruin his confidence. Poor man management.

Maybe Simms didn’t perform well in training?

 

[Osullivan18]

But surely it's madness to keep doing the same thing over and over?

What same thing?

 

[Robinshio]

Gurney trying to hint at an argument between Doug and Frank. Saying something like if they don’t want it to be seen they shouldn’t do it in public after the game

 

[Nick]

What same thing?

They cut us open about 4 times and we did fuck all.
Hull had an identical counter attack just before they scored, we did fuck all.

No it was Dean Austin.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

No it was Dean Austin.

Austin and who?

 

[Nick]

Austin and who?

Gurney said something about King and Dean Austin having a chat on the balcony and if they didn't want to be heard they shouldn't have done it in public.

Obviously he didnt say what was being sent, he then just went on about being scared to do his job.

No he wasn’t.

Arguing about Bamford still.

Okay fair, the Hull one 100% was stupidity. Today I just think Brighton's movement was too good for us, but also our players aren't taking the chance to take a booking and give the foul away, Amenda today for the second and Sakamoto against Hull.

Haven't seen it back, at the time I thought Amenda would have been the last man though?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

No Thomas could have made a tackle but he pulled his hands away to avoid any contact at all.

 

[Osullivan18]

Haven't seen it back, at the time I thought Amenda would have been the last man though

I am not going to watch it back to check, just remember thinking at the time he could have fouled and took a yellow

 

[long way home]

Maybe Simms didn’t perform well in training?

Simms is on the shit list due to turning down a move to championship.

 

[Bigelvesy]

I am not going to watch it back to check, just remember thinking at the time he could have fouled and took a yellow

Its like noone has watched the second goal.
Amenda absolutely bottles it from decisively trying to head the ball away, and the brighton player beats him to it. He’s then already past Thomas, so if he had have brought him down he’d have been off.

 

[fernandopartridge]

But surely it's madness to keep doing the same thing over and over?

Lampard has always been quite consistent about the affect goals have on games, so having watched the first half highlights you'd have to recognise that could well have been ahead before Brighton scored. So yes we need to still create chances but just score them.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Well no shit Ian

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Hull have been playing that way for a year or more , we are trying not to lose and have lost our identity

We should have pivoted straight into that gameplan right at the start of the summer, played it all pre season and built players to fit it.

 

[Evo1883]

We should have pivoted straight into that gameplan right at the start of the summer, played it all pre season and built players to fit it.

We need to stick to 4231 , get yirenkyi and onyeka playing in the 2 with gboho left , tchaouna right , rudoni or hamer in the 10 .. cannot be playing the absolute shit we have been so far all season

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Id be interested in potentially playing Cherif left, Gboho at CAM Awoniyi upfront eventually. Think it could be a powerful front 4

 

[Evo1883]

He needs to play a strong team wednesday , we dont have midweek games really anymore and they can be valuable minutes

 

[Ccfcisparks]

He needs to play a strong team wednesday , we dont have midweek games really anymore and they can be valuable minutes

I think he will now. A win would at least give some feel good factor back.

 

[Skyblueabo1111]

Think FL's assesment was pretty spot on, clearly won't be happy with some of the defending.

Truth is we have left ourselves with a huge mountain to climb now, not impossible, but odds are not in our favour

We have? Or Frank?

 

[Skyblueabo1111]

Maybe Simms didn’t perform well in training?

Seriously? Frank can't stand him..Simms won't sign a contract, because Frank doesn't rate him. Yet Simms stats are better than any.other striker at the club. Frank chose to put an unproven 19 yr old in the bench in his place, but hey " he is super Frank". I think super Frank has fucked up massively. No I am not Simms dad or partner.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Pathetic showing really

 

[Rodders1]

Id be interested in potentially playing Cherif left, Gboho at CAM Awoniyi upfront eventually. Think it could be a powerful front 4

Am i delusional hoping for us to appeal the Anoniyi red and succeeding?

 

[TomRad85]

We need to stick to 4231 , get yirenkyi and onyeka playing in the 2 with gboho left , tchaouna right , rudoni or hamer in the 10 .. cannot be playing the absolute shit we have been so far all season

Why Lampard can't see this i have no idea. Play it against Villa then again against Forest.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Am i delusional hoping for us to appeal the Anoniyi red and succeeding?

Yes - it was a red card

 

[Nick]

Am i delusional hoping for us to appeal the Anoniyi red and succeeding?

Sadly I think it probably was a red but I don't think it was an intentional elbow or malicious.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Why Lampard can't see this i have no idea. Play it against Villa then again against Forest.

I think he’s more likely to stubbornly carry on with this team and hope players adapt to the level.

 

[Nick]

I think he’s more likely to stubbornly carry on with this team and hope players adapt to the level.

I'm hoping the suspension is one of those things that forces his hand to change how we play. (and going by history, tends to help us)

 

[Sick Boy]

Simms is on the shit list due to turning down a move to championship.

Stop making stuff up.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I'm hoping the suspension is one of those things that forces his hand to change how we play. (and going by history, tends to help us)

I’m just stunned we had so long to plan for how we wanted to play this season, which in turn decides how you approach recruitment, and we’re working it out on the fly a month in.

It’s amateur hour stuff. The following need to be starting every week:

Amenda
Yirenkyi
Gboho
Tchaouna
Cherif/Taiwo
