    Standard swerving of the question appears to be Carlseys signature move to most questions. Was tying himself in knots trying to avoid questions about the England manager position before it was given to Tuchel.

    Match Thread Supporter's Meeting with Doug King Match Thread

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cm2zl897j5po Is this accurate or a poor write up of events? King allegedly said he has no plans for the future. His deadline for a new appointment is 1st January, and Rhys Carr will still be in charge after the international break.

    Maybe I'm hoping, but the fact King has said he wants an elite coach and tactician would make Lampard unlikely. I don't see how you look at Lampards record and think that's a high level tactician.

    Bit of a shambles really they couldn't appoint a new number 2 between them

    Doug King out, get out of the club.

    Viktor Moving on

    I don't think they've announced, more likely agent leaks that he will be available for less than the release clause.

    Sounds exactly like the stunt King would pull

    Viktor Moving on

    They need the money and no one will pay the release clause? Portuguese clubs live off picking up players from lesser known leagues developing them and selling them to the big leagues.

    Haji Wright injury

    Is that a per 90 stats showing or is it heavily skewed via the fact Wright has played lots more minutes?

    What’s your expectation for the new guy?

    I mean it's all relatives to the person expectations then isn't it, some will say we were going down or going to be in a relegation fight this season so anything above that is justifying it. Personally for me, I expect the new guy to show play off form between now and the end of the season...

    What’s your expectation for the new guy?

    Yea 7 points in 32 games. So we have to gain 0.22 points per game on the top 6 to make the play offs. If plays offs is 75 points that's around 1.63 points, which means we have to go at 1.85 points per match to make the play offs. Over a full season 1.85 points a match would give us 85...

    What’s your expectation for the new guy?

    Top 10, that will require play off form to achieve a top 10 position from here. Play offs will require close to automatic form which in my view is unreasonable to expect. Edit: I didn't want Robins out so i guess i shouldn't have answered this or voted in the poll?

    He gave a 3 minute tactical analysis that they were impressed by 🤣

    Robins and Viveash obviously didn't fit in with Dougs new elite model coaching set up that he's been advised to set up and is the modern way apparently, it's clear to me now. So why give them both 4 year contracts when he joined?

    Would still rather someone else than Lampard
  17. SkyBlue_Bear83

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    I mean part of the issue is, you have to know how to tactically implement these ideas on the training pitch with high level coaching session and translate this onto the pitch on the match day and I'm not sure someone like Rooney can do that. We can all go and say we want to play passing...

    Can you show the tactical analysis from his Everton spell and second spell at Chelsea?
