    He does seem to get on well with players but tactically he has been one of the worst coaches I’ve seen, both in terms of game plans and adjustments but also on a macro level in terms of drilling in structure and patterns of play.

    He was an incredibly gifted player with a fantastic football IQ, but it’s possible it was all instinctual as opposed to cerebral understanding and he has a hard time translating that into instructions for his players now that he’s coach.

    At least Coventry fans will get to enjoy some Lampardian transitions even if the football ends up terrible! No but seriously, there is a risk that’s all they’ll get to enjoy.
