Lampard without Jody Morris is all style and no substance.
I get that he wanted to prove that he could do the job without his right hand man, but obviously it’s not working. Ashley Cole and Paul Clement assisting? Fucking jokes. Even Clough had to have Peter Taylor with him to get the best out of their squads.
If you decide to go for Rooney when Frank is fired then I hope Derby go for Morris (Jody, not Mel…) to replace him.

The Rafa benitez who won 1 league game in 14 prior to being sacked?
Last night underlined my worries with lampard. He played some lovely attacking football at chelsea... with better attacking players. And had some pretty bad defensive performances... with much better defenders. He's brought a bit more positivity to the club for sure, but it's hard to pick everyone up after so resolutely shitting the bed against spurs.
The arrogance (or stupidity) of the board was bringing in a manager in Benitez who was almost universally hated, at first by the fans and then by the players. He isolated players he didn't get on with, didn't play our best attacking fullback, subsequently sold him and generally turned the mood around the club sour. We had a shit run of injuries, I'll grant him that, but with Rafa it was always going to turn toxic after any run of bad results, let alone ONE WIN IN FOURTEEN FUCKING GAMES. If he was that great a manager he'd have worked out how get a few more points, I'd have managed better than that and I'm a twat. We lost at Norwich for fuck's sake! I'm 99% sure we'd have been in a better league postion right now if we'd never appointed Benitez and gone straight for lampard.
