Throughout his career, whatever your opinion of it, Lampard has shown a lot of flexibility in his tactical approaches to games. He's not an ideologue like Russell Martin, Maresca or Kompany, who will not change approach irrespective of opposition or game state.

Football is moving that way, we've consistently gone route one on counter attacks and The red card made a win feel like a 'done deal'. Cocky to say but even at 2-0, I never felt like we were going to lose, a sentiment shared by those in my group, we were creating chances and they happened to...

Got a link of his post-match interview?

Without knowing how injuries will pan out, but could see us going 3-4-3 v Ipswich using a similar system. BTA and Haji will probably be out injured/returning and Rudoni may not be ready to start. We went 3 atb v Pompey and it worked v well. Something like: Rushworth MVE Thomas Kitching KKH...

The old addage is that you're most vulnerable when you score and this was backed up statistically. So some managers/coaches are flipping this on its head to continue attacking just after we score to reduce this vulnerability. Take WBA, at 3-2 we nearly went 4-2 up but after EMC's missed we...

It's open to interpretation because Lampard said 'which he [MVE] isn't used to' when talking about moving him to RCB. Which doesn't clarify the point you raised about whether it's a new role worked in training or an in the moment decision. Three things makes me lean towards it being worked on...

When is the draw for the 3rd round? 6th Dec is the when the 2nd round ties are being played so assuming 7th Dec.

Exactly, I'm glad someone else has clocked onto that! I thought it was a tactical change that was quite baffling at first, but actually turned out to be a touch of genius!

At what point does Arne Slot get sacked? It's more than a blip right now.

Is new FM worth a purchase?

You’re completely right, I was originally put 3 games in 9 days and changed everything but the days! 😂

It’s a narrative that actually makes no sense. It’s not our fault that all the other teams have been way below the average. This time last season, 4 teams had 33+ points. We’re outperforming Leeds and Burnley compared to last season and that clearly isn’t a fluke. Leeds and Burnley managed 100+...

Irrelevant. We could ask how Ipswich got on against Boro, Watford, Derby and perhaps Charlton after Saturday. All of their wins barring Hull have come against the bottom 8. Their record v top half team are lacking so far.

You’re right. Blackburn’s home form is woeful though, they’ve won 1 game against Southampton, drawn v Stoke and that’s it. If there’s justice in this world, they’ll beat Ipswich but I think this rematch will cause uproar. Fantastic away team and have some great results, beating Hull, Watford...

The OBR reckons welfare spending will be up £73.2bn (£34bn pension, £20bn disability) over the next 5 years... That isn't sustainable, will require further tax hikes and all that reality will catch up to them or the next government.
