Pundit urges Chelsea to soon recruit Mauricio Pochettino and stem the rot under Lampard while saying, "No disrespect to Frank."
Since Mauricio Pochettino is more capable of handling the situation than Frank Lampard, Paul Merson has urged Chelsea to hire him.
Because he believes Frank Lampard is unable to handle the situation at the club, where they have lost their first five games under him, Paul Merson has pushed Chelsea to hire Mauricio Pochettino.
Lampard has been the team's interim manager for the past month, and in that time, they have scored only once while giving up nine goals.
Since defeating Leicester City 3-1, the team has gone winless, and with 39 points, they are currently in the bottom half of the standings. For a club like ours, an eight-game losing streak across all competitions is hopeless.
Pochettino is currently the overwhelming favorite to become Chelsea's long-term manager commencing with the 2019–20 season.
Merson also stated that the 44-year-old's management is making matters worse and that the club needs to employ Pochettino immediately. (Source: Daily Mail) Merson said in a Sky Sports interview:
Under Frank Lampard, we are currently sinking in the pit and, if we don't win our remaining games, we may be in danger of being relegated. Merson is correct in saying that we now need a seasoned manager who can effectively manage the situation.
It's best to resolve the managerial dilemma as quickly as possible. Poch might arrive as quickly as possible, evaluate the team personally, and then decide who should stay and who should leave.
In all honesty, Frank Lampard's addition has turned out to be a mistake. He simply doesn't appear qualified for the position. He was sacked the first time for this reason, and Everton also let him go for the same reason. He isn't yet prepared for the big time, so it's best to hand Pochettino the reins as soon as possible.
