Stats mean nothing, all about chances. Both were dominant first half. We got lucky, same as first half today. We are getting completely overrun. Amazed people can't see it.

Torp was awful tonight him and Grimes are so slow infact we have no pace in there at all .Torp is more of an option at 10 in this system, in my opinion, and not a player to play alongside Grimes in games you’re going to get overrun or countered…
Hamer can do the job there, with a bit more creativity than Grimes, Sheaf would’ve been ideal, and yeah Onyeka sounds like a solution.
The only issue I have is Grimes severely lacks pace, and we could do with a player there with stamina and pace to cover as they will get through a hell of a lot of work between now and the end of the season
Not in that context. If we get caught on the break and he gets done for pace, or makes a mistake under pressure, or even a progressive pass that goes astray, that’s fair enough and those errors happen.As he should be, but you can see why a system that exposes him is going to affect his game.
We had a higher xG in both halves so whatever chances you think they should’ve scored, we literally had better chances.Norwich could have been 3 up, at half time. Same as Leicester and Millwall.
Ok, I'm not saying the system directly resulted directly in an unforced error, in the sense that it put him in that position. It didn't.Not in that context. If we get caught on the break and he gets done for pace, or makes a mistake under pressure, or even a progressive pass that goes astray, that’s fair enough and those errors happen.
He’s just miscontrolled the ball under no pressure and Norwich react quickly, it’s unforgivable.
Your back 3 idea seems to not take into any account our current in possession shape has a back 3, the issue is the cover and space left in front of them.Stats mean nothing, all about chances.

No idea what you posted. We did it at Portsmouth and won 3.1.Your back 3 idea seems to not take into any account our current in possession shape has a back 3, the issue is the cover and space left in front of them.
We can play 4 CBs and they still struggle if we keep giving away so much space in the midfield.
Yes because the midfield was deeper and left no space for the opposition to flood through.No idea what you posted. We did it at Portsmouth and won 3.1.
Oh and we also played a back 3 against Charlton and were not great.No idea what you posted. We did it at Portsmouth and won 3.1.
It would only take two changes to make us look stronger:
1. Tell Dasilva to stay back at all times
2. Change the midfield to a proper double pivot, instead of the 8 being closer to the CF than Grimes
It's been MONTHS of us getting ripped apart on the counter and Lampard has done fuck all about it.
Also the pedant in me has to say it was 2-1No idea what you posted. We did it at Portsmouth and won 3.1.
Xg means nothing. They should have been 3 up at half time. Again.We had a higher xG in both halves so whatever chances you think they should’ve scored, we literally had better chances.
That’s not even including EMC missing from a yard out and Haji having one cleared off the line.
What chances then? Both of their best chances were their second half goals…Xg means nothing. They should have been 3 up at half time. Again.
I mentioned a few weeks ago that when he's been in charge at other clubs once they have gone on a poor run it's usually been unable to turn it around. Hope I'm wrong ,but we've not been much good for about 2 months. Rushworths either sav d us and we've relied on home form . Charlton , Watford , WBA, Millwall sliced through our midfield and defence but luckily missed their chancesWe’ve been dreadful since Ipswich and he’s not done much to change it. Definitely his worst month in charge.
The decision not to sign Bamford has come back to haunt us.I am not crowing for his head btw, far from it
But tonight is the first time this season I have felt genuinely let down/concerned by Lampard - the set up was completely baffling tonight
