Tactically - Lampard is pretty good (3 Viewers)

Evo1883 · 2025-12-20T21:38:49+0000

Feel like (especially this season ) Lampard has been very good tactically and his subs whilst not always perfect have been largely very good .

I undertstand he is taking some advice on the sidelines too from Edwards but im very impressed with how hes reacting to matches this season

Several times ive sat wondering what hes doing or what hes changed it to or why and when i realise or find out left thinking

"Fuck me thats pretty clever "

Every fear i had initially about frank has gone and hes proving i believe to be a very good manager / coach .. far better than i ever expected

I still think like any manager he has his flaws. Though I crapped myself when I turned on and saw us playing a high line it wasn’t anything like as bad as I feared and we dominated first half because of it for me. The quick move to a back five today was smart as well, same as noticing what MvE wasn’t doing, stopping the game, then when he still wasn’t doing it dragging him.

The games at Stoke and Middlesbrough are good examples, where tweaks worked wonders.

Hutch11 · 2025-12-20T21:42:33+0000

He knows exactly what we need

Liquid Gold · 2025-12-20T21:43:13+0000

He is the best tactical manager I can remember us having.

He is always a step ahead of everybody else and is very proactive with his changes. Doesn't do too much, not a tinkerer by any stretch but he just knows what needs to be done.

I'm immensely impressed with him. When we were linked with him I thought it would be a bad appointment and just another name. He's so much more than that. I can legit see him managing England one day.

Evo1883 · 2025-12-20T21:50:03+0000

Hes also a very likeable man , i also think he absolutely loves managing this football club

clint van damme · 2025-12-20T21:50:45+0000

He employed Edwards so even if he's a big part of it that's down to Lampard.

You of all people should know, don't fall in love with a manager!
(I have, ready for another heartbreak!)

When we get promoted back to the premier league in may He will become a club great , like mark , like jimmy and like john .

The question is, if promted, will he stay? There will be plenty of suiters.

Evo1883 · 2025-12-20T21:57:33+0000

By the way his league win ratio at the club is almost 60 % can somebody confirm , that is absolutely mental

Will there? I could only see him leaving for a stable prem club, doubt he'll be offered a job like that this summer.

pusbccfc · 2025-12-20T22:00:19+0000

I love the bloke.

His actions after the game is absolutely what I want to see from a Coventry manager. Love the passion. He's fully living it.

England job.

Evo1883 · 2025-12-20T22:01:15+0000

His league Win ratio is 58.82 %

Hes lost 11 in 51 winning 30

Best ratio in clubs history ?

nicksar · 2025-12-20T22:01:56+0000

I was (probably) in a minority who felt Frank was a very good appointment.
He along with his coaching team are definitely elite level tactically,not surprising when you see who they have played under/worked alongside in their careers.
He's doing amazingly well,long may it continue.

quinn1971 · 2025-12-20T22:03:32+0000

Only questionable game was Preston, but to be fair there weren’t many options on the bench, as good as we are he could do with a couple of more options when we need to change things up

fernandopartridge · 2025-12-20T22:11:51+0000

One thing I love about him is despite his career success and the levels he played at and occasions he played in, he always appears to see his next game as the most important one yet and treats winning it in a similar vein.

I think this enthusiasm is great leadership to be honest. Managers should imo show emotion.

Not yet, it’ll be Guardiola first.

Sick Boy · 2025-12-20T22:58:01+0000

It was a real masterstroke by King, fair play to him. He’s by far the most passionate manager we’ve had and the most driven that I can remember too.

Until Tuchel has us knocked out in the quarters and people demand we never have a foreign manager again...

hazuk · 2025-12-20T22:59:22+0000

I was pretty agnostic on Frank when he came in and was happy to give him a chance. I never really got the level of negativity. He did a solid job at Derby, and at Chelsea and Everton there were some fairly obvious extenuating circumstances that could explain the perceived failures.

I think a lot of the backlash and suspicion came from him being part of the so-called "Golden Generation" that went into management and, on the whole, did not always do especially well, but kept getting work off the back of their playing reputations. People seemed to lump him in with that group straight away, e.g., Rooney and it coloured opinions.

I am just enjoying the season. Two league losses, most goals scored (which is funny given some of the pre-season chat about the forward line), and the 2nd best defence despite constant talk about our supposed frailties. Despite those numbers, it has not been easy at all. We have had to graft for plenty of results, and a lot of games could easily have gone the other way. The manner of the wins has made it even more interesting. We have given some teams an absolute hiding, scraped others by a single goal, come from behind, and led games and then had to hang on. You cannot really pigeonhole us like some teams, because there is no single way we win. Burnley technically did well last season but can you imagine sitting through that every week! On top of that, what I've also enjoyed is the squad growth has felt fairly organic. We obviously lucked out with the cash from Gyokeres and Hamer, but overall it has been a decent, steady build rather than something reckless.

I was too young to enjoy the 1987 FA Cup win, and sat through some pretty average Premier League years as a season ticket holder which was supposedly our pinnacle but where survival was basically the aim. Yes, it has meant going right down to the depths of the pyramid, but the last eight years, starting with Robins, has been the most enjoyable I can remember, and the last season and a half in particular has just been superb.

quinn1971 · 2025-12-20T23:16:45+0000

Who does he start at LB for the next 3 games ? think he goes with bidwell, but thought Brau looked ok when he came on

covboy9 · 2025-12-20T23:37:13+0000

Frank knows what he’s doing but I can’t understand why he plays Eccles further up than Torp and when Kkh plays with mve in team I would play mve ahead and Kkh at right back

Bray deserves a go, we know what Bidwell can do and the team has moved past bidwell

Think Brau against Swansea for sure , he looked very good today , played with genuine heart and looked very technically good with the ball

thought the same, eccles gets in some good positions but Can’t hit it like torp, he’d of worked the keeper more today,

That run he went on, went past 2 like they weren’t there, bit suspect defensively but then so is da silva

I would've kept Eccles on today , he looked sharp and was involved a lot first half . Torp struggled , due to illness

He did very well, just doesn't hit a ball like torp, hopefully all fit for Swansea

Cause we're flying , no reason to change what works . We saw today just how good some of the rest of the squad are

he started bidwell against Wrexham, and put bidwell on first today, like the look of brau, something about him, but can see bidwell starting Boxing Day, didn’t brau replace emc today, played further up ?

Only cause we went to 5 at the back
It depends on how Lampard sees the Swansea game and also players fitness levels
