Arteta vs Lampard

If Chelsea lose to Man City today, we'll be three points ahead of Arsenal having played the same number of games

When you consider that Chelsea spent 200m on some of best young talent in Europe last summer while Arsenal got Chelsea's hand-me-downs, and you also add in the fact that Arteta schooled Lampard in the FA Cup final last season (let's be honest, that was what happened), do you not have to kind of admit that Arsenal clearly have a better manager than we do?

It was too soon to judge 10 games ago and it’s still too soon now.

The league is tight and anything could happen.

Lampard has been Chelsea manager for 1 1/2 seasons and Arteta arsenal manager for 1 full season roughly

Why too soon to judge?

Look at how United’s season has changed in 10 or so games... that’s why.

Let’s see what happens when we get to May, shall we?

But I want to compare them now.

Nothing wrong with speculating, but any conclusive judgements are misplaced imo.

Too many new players have been brought into the squad too soon. They take time to form an understanding, so results will be all over the place. Not really fattys fault as not sure how much say he has in transfers. Probably not alot, and once they're bought for big money he's under pressure to play them.

Personally, I dont see why you needed all of the attackers. Last season you seemed not to have much issue finding the net, and it was at the back you struggled.

To me Lampard just seems very average. The FA Cup final is a good example the naivety in the tactics employed by Lampard was embarassing you could see after first couple of minutes playing a high line with Aubameyang on Azpilicueta was suicide and Chelsea were rightly punished for it. To me both Arteta and Lampard shouldn't be in these jobs both are big jobs and quite frankly they haven't earnt the right to take control of such big clubs.

Who the furrrk is Steffen? Lampard's position is becoming untenable I swear.

Hmm after watching that first half, Lampard time maybe up sooner than later. Very much like how Arteta had set up Arsenal for much of this season. Players have no clue what to do from defensive point of view, and relying far too much on Pulisic offensively

Since I don't see Frank as being blinded by his own arrogance, nor openly dissing one of his best players to play one of his mates who's suspect. I have to say that he is the better manager. Tbf he was doing ok until he said "Can I have 70 mil for a player," ya know taking his time, not wanting to upset the chemistry. And Roman said "200M, you buy 3!" went all rushing the bloke, now he's got chaos

I hope he gets a few wins sharpish though. I reckon Roman loves him because he is the club Legend Frankie Lampard. But I don't know if the love will be enough to keep him his job. Hope so because it's great watching him going at it with Ole and Arteta. From the perspective it could only be better if it was Bergkamp Viera or Henry instead of Mikel. Yeah he was a Gunner but he's not the right one timewise for the trio.

Chelsea top on expected points although they played a game more than most.
