The most shocking thing about that is how Lampard is the least important part of the improvement. He's been totally fine to good, but the other changes were much more important.If by "gel" you mean "get harrison, lampard and iraola on the field and in their current roles," then yes.

First off, Iraola has the highest fictional WAR of anyone on the team. This is why I was never on the "let's praise Bravo wildly for anything more than outplaying Andy Jacobsen". Look at how much better Pirlo plays and our defense plays with AI, a guy who "can't defend" or "doesn't care" or "doesn't bring anything to the team".
And then Harrison is more skilled on the ball than anyone except DV/Pirlo, and he runs at people and takes shots and makes crosses.
This isn't insulting Lampard. Just pointing out he's definitely the Mase in this scenario. Shit. Nevermind. Maybe it is a little insulting.
And for you fuckers who don't know who Mase is...
(eta: so Iraola is Biggie, Jack is Puffy. Just think about it. It works)

Nice interview with PV by Glenn Crooks. Makes you realize how well PV has done to implement the style that he wants to play and supports the players.
Also, Crooks is part of a NYCFC podcast called "Soccer in the City". Very well done and is a must listen. Add it to your podcast list if you don't have it already.
His mother is a really impressive and selfless person - just as impressed with her as I am her son. Both can be summed up as good people.
