If Frank Lampard has anything at all about him, he'd retire from football management tonight. This has legitimately been one of the single worst all-time seasons for a Premier League manager ever.
for a 24-year-old Champions League winner with 51 goals and assists in 129 Premier League appearances when selling to a direct rival, then The Mason Mount Derby achieved precisely what it set out to.
And considering Kepa Arrizabalaga’s continued existential crisis when facing penalties, the rank incompetence of Wesley Fofana and the independent decisions of both Kai Havertz and Mykhaylo Mudryk to translate the term ‘counter-attacking’ to its most literal definition, it is not difficult to see why Chelsea might place the bar as high as possible in a transfer market they themselves have inflated beyond all meaning.
There was an element of that in May 2023. The Blues created but missed some gilt-edged chances, with Mudryk, Havertz and Conor Gallagher particular culprits. Yet they were laughably hopeless in defence and practically non-existent off the ball. Fun as any and all xG discourse constantly is, Man Utd’s 5.14 being the biggest by any side in a single Premier League game this season is stunning.
Everton were 19th when they sacked Lampard in January; in a table of results since appointing him, Chelsea and their £600m squad are 18th. Lampard might yet be involved in both clubs’ worst Premier League finishes ever in terms of position this season.
