It all felt inevitable, but it has finally happened and Chelsea have sacked club legend Frank Lampard halfway through his second season at the London side. We discuss the move from every angle and suggest that the players giving upon Lampard in last week's loss to Leicester was probably damage that even an FA Cup win against second-tier Luton could never fix. We also discuss the aspects of Lampard's management that failed him and wonder if not knowing how to be harsh on players in the right situations may have been his undoing. 

We also discuss the appointment of former Borussia Dortmund and PSG manager Thomas Tuchel as Lampard's successor. While he's smart tactically, we worry that the German is not cut out for some of the other aspects of football management which proved to be his undoing at the French giants.
