Experienced managers have hardly tore it up have they, truth of the matter is, until someone is in the hot seat you have zero idea of how they may perform.

Tactics Frank lad. Play defensive and tight from now till the end if the season.Won’t be pretty to watch but it will get us to safety.
Fat-boy really needs to be honest with himself - whatever expansive type of football he wants to play will have to wait and us fans will need to accept that - we simply have a bunch of players with limited skills, lacking in pace and confidence. Therefore we need to adapt our game accordingly and fight like demons every match.

No rush lads
Thats included cup games against Fleetwood and Boreham Wood.
If its League game only its 0.97 points per game.
I don't think defensive football will get us to safety because we simply won't score enough goals to turn draws into victories. Now we're at a stage where we need to be taking more risks and going for the victory in home games apart from vs the likes of Arsenal, City, Liverpool, and picking which poor teams we put under pressure away from home.
If we go into every game thinking a point is acceptable, then we are relegated. Our players consistently pass up fantastic goalscoring opportunities as they're not good enough, so smash-and-grab victories look increasingly unlikely as well.
No issue with playing defensively and backs to the wall to turn Expected Defeats into draws, but home and away games against similarly poor opposition as ourselves should be approached with wanting all three points, which means no 5-4-1 or the likes. It would be better to W1 D1 L1 for example than play defensive and W0 D3 L0. Like I say, drawing every game isn't enough now, so we have to attack, even if it risks losing games.
This will require personnel changes, however, so let's see what the window brings.

Yes he should have done that weeks ago, he's been too stubborn. My issue is I don't trust his in game decisions seems to me if it goes wrong he doesn't change it enough to rescue anything the game is over. That's poor management.

It's damning on the face of it. But we all know that Lampard had to endure the season with no strikers effectively. Benitez at least had Calvert-lewin scoring a few at the beginning of the season before he got injured and the return of Richarlison in the autumn of 2021.

Apart from Benitez that's comparing apples and pears. Lampard came into a completely different football club to Martinez, Koeman, Allardyce, Silva, and Ancelotti.

Sacking him and his team will cost money, what would you take
Lampard and buy a striker
Sack lampard and only a loan

You sure
I don't like this graphic.
Lampard arrived following the number 6 person on this list. The number 6 person arrived after the number 1...

MOSHIRI OUT
Richarlison was available for 11 of those 18 games whilst Calvert-Lewin played in just 4 of his opening 18 league games.
Richarlison was a huge loss this year for Lampard but Benitez had to field teams like this at times:
Both have failed as Everton managers - Lampard got to bring in 11 players and still couldn't improve results.

That horse has bolted.
That was my reason for sticking with Lampard: that he's proven he can keep it tight and grind out results. But he's thrown that game plan in the bin time and time again to be a bit nore open in terms of formation and we got burned by it...and Frank will keep on doing that.
That's no good for us. We'd do better getting Dyche in and have him set up with two banks of four and two forwards...by-pass the midfield and get Wood in from Newcastle as the spearhead....and I'm no fan of his, btw.
