Gordon’s Trust In Lampard

Anthony Gordon thinks that Everton’s performance in their 3-0 home victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday was indicative of the kind of play that manager Frank Lampard is fostering.

Gordon told evertontv: “We trust in the manager’s idea and it’s coming off on the pitch now.

“Our second goal came all the way back from the goalkeeper. That’s what all the top teams are doing.

“It’s genuinely what we’re working on. We’re doing those patterns of play in training and for it to start showing in games gives us confidence.

“We trust the manager, we trust in his ideas.

“It was a massive win, because it shows the character of the team. What a performance off the back of three losses.

“It was complete. The defence have been unbelievable all year and it was up to us [the attackers] to start stepping up. We did that.

“The defensive unit kept a clean sheet and you look at how Seamus [Coleman] played against Wilfried Zaha, who is a top player… We’ve been solid all year and the bit we’ve lacked is that final third stuff. It’s good everything’s coming together.”
