Ref watch v Bluenoses (A)

Lampard’s slow departure certainly made things harder for Cocu in summer 2019. He still managed Bielik and Clark and try as I might I can’t see what Lampard had to do with such signings as Jozwiak, CKR, Byrne and Marshall.

I think only Jason Knight of last night’s side was in the Wembley squad (unused sub) for Lampard’s last match. Seeing as Rooney hasn’t yet been able to sign anyone last night’s side owed a lot to Cocu’s signings which was my point.

Pity he didn’t seem to be able to get them to play together.

Perhaps we should have retained him (or only employed him from minute 1) as a scout

Lol...perhaps, unless we owe McClaren Jnr more than we thought.
