Would I choose him in a big pool of candidates? No. Given the choice from the board was him, Pereira and Dunc then Lampard every day.
I was content with Dunc until the end of the season but the Villa game changed my mind. He went with 2 CM's which the whole fanbase knows we cant play with due to the lack of pace and energy. Played Kenny who will be leaving for nothing in the summer as he's not good enough and dropped Gordon who has been one of our only positives and more creative players. Then just launched it long like he was back in his heyday. You need much more than that these days!
So is Lampard the best we could get? Probably not. Was he the best out of the 3 candidates, 100%. Also we have tried 2 multiple trophy and CL winners in Ancelotti and Benitez and they didnt work out so its just luck and timing. I hope this one is the one.
