Both are relatively inexperienced managers taking on huge jobs in difficult circumstances (Chelsea losing Hazard, Ole missing Pogba and letting players go without replacement)
Despite this Lampard has Chelsea flying right now, whilst we are struggling against the likes of Newcastle, Bournemouth and probably Brighton.
So, when you compare the managers, their squads, tactics and results so far, is it just the case that Lampard is the better manager, or is the difference between their campaigns so far down to something else?

What's all this 'expected goals/points' bollox?
This is football and NOTHING turns out as 'expected'

Well you could look at how Southampton, Wolves and Everton are doing.
Saying there is nothing much between the squads, is just that, you saying it. Doesn't mean to say it's right.
How will Frank do long-term, how is he at buying?
I'm not wishing him ill, because I like him.
But as with Ole, time will tell.

He doesn't do the buying

Yes, there is a difference between the squads.
Added to which we have had a good few injuries.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
..as have we. And as discussed, would people be saying there’s a massive difference in the squads at start of the season? After the first game?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They wouldn't. This guy has an issue with me questioning Oles credentials, and therefore puts the most optimistic / positice spin on every topic discussed re United.

Before the seaaonnstartes most would have accepted that
We have the better GK,'s
We have the better groups of CB's
Had Pogba been fit there isnt much between the midfields.
We have the better group of forwards
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe plenty of people thought that at the start of the season, ask em again!

The quality of the squad and how that’s impacting respective results isn’t even that important.
The most notable difference is that one coach played under Fergie for years and has his team playing like more like Mourinho’s, the other played for Mourinho for years and has his team playing more like Fergie’s.

Nobody would answer honestly given where Chelsea and United are currently.
If you were bothered you could go back and look at the predicted league finished from August, but I certainly.cant be bothered

You don't question Ole's credentials,, you want him sacked, not so subtle difference.
I want him sacked when and if I know he's not up to it.

The thing is we are playing nothing like Mourinho Man Utd. We are creating more chances and allowing extremely few chances. I even showed like a week back this is the most dominant side we had since SAF left.
