They were dramatically underachieving, but two cup finals and their league form since they replaced Lampard is good going and I'm convinced they will be our biggest league challengers next season. I can't see Liverpool bouncing back quickly with that front three and United are getting by on other teams around them dropping off. And Spurs and Arsenal are Spurs and Arsenal.The difference in shape and organisation really shows the difference a manager can make, and how out of his depth Lampard was.
When you think about how poorly Lampard has done, that Rooney could relegate Derby, Neville bombed in Spain, and presumably Gerrard will flop at Liverpool when he takes over from Klopp that really will be it for the English golden generation, in management ? Owen, Hargreaves and Ferdinand are barely competent pundits.
