After another poor performance on the pitch against Chelsea, resulting in yet another goalless draw with the Blues, Liverpool fans could be forgiven for wanting to put the Stamford Bridge-based outfit far out of mind.
However, rumours (as reported by TalkSPORT, via FootballJOE) emerging around the possibility of Frank Lampard returning to the English capital in a caretaker capacity, presumably until the end of the season, is sure to invite a few incredulous looks from across the league.

The former England international has been a free agent since being sacked by Everton back in January after less than a year at the club – two years after an identical set of circumstances saw the manager kicked out of his old club.

Having since moved on with Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter, it would seem a step back (even despite Lampard’s efforts in bringing talented youth stars into the first-team) to re-appoint the 44-year-old, even in a caretaker capacity.
Whilst managers are getting sacked left, right and centre, it goes to show that things could be even worse at Liverpool, and we’re ultimately fortunate to have a world-class manager on the books more than capable of digging us out of trouble provided he’s backed appropriately in the upcoming summer window.
