Too easy to blame his teammates, I'd be looking at the dinosaur on the bench for the last few performamces and results. Imagine having all that talent and playing for a manager like him.
He had 45mins to change Palace today to make the most of the extra man and he failed.

They never and they're 7th now so it's a fair question.
I think LP may have a point but it's too early to judge. That said, he's got a lot of expensive talent in that squad that aren't firing, FL needs to address that pretty quickly IMO.
LP should stick to hockey?

With the money spent Lampard doesn't have the excuse of last year when he was rebuilding with youth players thanks to the transfer ban - they should really be up there challenging for the title. They're not a million miles off, but it does seem to two steps forward then one or even two steps back again with them. They just didn't turn up today at all, they were woeful.

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
I don't think he was using excuses after the game, in fact he questioned his players desire and hunger but in a way the players should respond..Lampard I thought was professional the way he said it. Not like how Jose gets personal.
That said, I thought Woy at Palace should of given his players a round of rammels. There efforts in closing down and chasing Villa were shocking.

I really liked the way Villa played with 10 men.
Grealish stayed out on the left wing and gave his team an out ball.
Instead of parking the bus Villa were the better team by a mile.
The Manager deserves credit for that.
Palace just failed to deal with the fact Villa left two men forward at all times.
They were lucky it wasn’t more.

In fairness to Lamport, its only 15 games in.
I think a lot of people's expectations rise when a few quid has been spent. Managers get judged too quickly and usually after a few defeats the knives are out.

Not surprised by Hodgson's dinosaur tactics.

Well if he persists with Benteke he’s playing a man down .
He was dreadful again.

Whats the point of VAR if it doesnt overrule this decision in the Leeds game?

I think they've got both the main decisions wrong so far. I thought Pope got to the ball before Bamford and then Bamford went into him. And to disallow the Burnley goal because the keeper jumped into the Burnley player was also wrong.

If it was Kane he’d have got a pen ?
It was that clear, VAR didn’t need to get involved.

It's like they didn't even check it! Least ask the ref to check the monitor he could then decide for himself

I guess they could argue that because the whistle had gone players might switch off

Bit still what a poor decision

It was a clear pen for Leeds. Pope wasn't in control.
But the free kick for Meslier was wrong. But, incidents like that mostly go in the goalkeepers favour.

The ref had blown before the shot. So nothing can be done about it.

The joke is we have to wait for the linemen to put their flags up for offside until play has developed but the ref insta blows when if he doesnt then the goal stands

The goal can't be given but VAR can still look at the challenge by the keeper and give a penalty.
