LittleEatonRam Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I think this is all a bit harsh on Lampard. The notion that the subtleties of football tactics - a subject which is studied in depth, which managers spend hours briefing their players on with white boards, projectors and Powerpoint - can be reduced to "we didn't get into 'em enough" is also stupidly simplistic. There were probably many intricate tactical details that Bielsa employed against us that we couldn't see or appreciate, and Lampard probably couldn't react to them. That's not meant as a slight against Lampard - it's a compliment to Bielsa. No shame in losing a tactical battle to him. All I wanted from this season was an improvement on Rowettball (admittedly setting the bar low with that one) whilst remaining competitive. And FL has delivered that. In fact, I'd be satisfied that he had even if we hadn't made the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you can turn it around on Wednesday, but somehow, i don’t think you will and based on that performance i think I am right. 0 SHOTS ON TARGET AT HOME. SHOCKING.

They think the job is almost done and we have no answer to their tactics. Cue a cunning masterplan for the 2nd leg which will bamboozle them. Anyway I'm off to book my Wembley accommodation.

TobyWanKenobi Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Jack Marriott saying words like "Credit to the management team" and "best night of my career."

I really didn't expect us to win last night if I'm honest. If I'm lucky enough to get a ticket then I'll just travel there and back on the same day.

Really I think you have to look a little beyond just the signings. 3 by Mason Bennett, who was basically frozen out before Lampard arrived. 2 by Jayden Bogle, who he promoted from the academy, something that is hard to imagine happening under recent regimes. So really it's 71 of 87 (82%) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stat is players signed by and given debuts to - wasn't sure if Rowett had given Bogle his debut or Lampard? If it's the latter you've counted Bogle's goals twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might just be the words of someone who has been a bit naughty, had some time out, come back in and responded brilliantly and has just remembered what an awesome club he plays for and how much us Rams fans value him. Frankly, who cares anymore anyway? Jack is back with a bang and all is rosy in the garden. Why even bother debating it further? COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
