2021/22 Frank Lampard

[18efc78]

Dave, I know you love hyperbole and I love you for it but.....

Frank is the figurehead of a team of people. Mainly the team and coaching staff (of whom Dunc is the best... Don't bite).

Frank alone is not the Messiah.

I reckon they're the difference, or will be. The group, the coaching staff as a whole. And as we've seen / been recently, we're all working much better as a collective. Amazingly, you included.

Frank and his team (with more time) will improve the players we have (those that want to be here and have the right mentality - well done Anthony and Alex btw.). Hopefully buy well, within a collective structure (board, dof) and be able to implement their playing philosophy over time.

It's not always about the individual.

I think this is the most comprehensive backroom staff I can remember, a good mix of experience and new ideas and seems quite well thought out!

I think it will grow in the summer as well.

I think it will grow in the summer as well.

As long as it's not Nyarko as 'motivational guru'. The old boys network is hopefully a thing of the past.

I love the way he talks about the club

Can't think of the last time I wanted an Everton manager to succeed as much as I do Lampard

He's a smooth operator for sure

As a Lampard skeptic, I have to say that his press conferences are genuinely illuminating. He doesn't go in for the smoke and mirrors stuff that, perhaps, the more seasoned operators that have preceded him indulged in, but that allows him to make a connection with ordinary fans. He is more transparent and people can make their own minds up based on what they have heard. With Ancelotti and Benitez, the ordinary fan knew that very little of insight was ever going to be conveyed. Those wily old foxes saw the press conference as something to be cloaked in, if not disinformation, impenetrable code. Frank, perhaps naively, provides insight and conveys his feelings. As a fan, that's a very human quality. His inexperience makes him more likeable and relatable.

If he can get us over the line tonight - or at least at some point this month - he will have an awful lot of goodwill and, for the first time, some genuine credibility. A win tonight is a giddy thought. Here's hoping.

No question that Frank is a good media player. Agent Rafael was awful for example.

Also Frank should be congratulated for engendering the fan support and team spirit of the team.

Next big challenge, assuming no relegation, will be the transfer market.

Well my father apparently was a smooth talking cockney lad. When my mother told him the good news he left and persued his dream of holiday rep in Spain.

Make of that what thou wilt.

Respect and love Frank. Hope he can stabilise this club.

Well his aul feller and Uncle have forgotten more about coaching than most would ever know. Top footballing family I'm sure Frank sr and Harry have offered advice. Think he's the right man at the right time. Good luck to him.

I hope we get to see Frank chatting out a car door on deadline day!

I think it will grow in the summer as well.

Lets hope so, its still lacking in key areas.

Indeed. Fully agree.

What a guy...

Keeping Everton in Premier League would top winning titles for Lampard

Frank Lampard believes keeping Everton in the Premier League would be bigger than winning the title as a player given the stakes involved

Respect and love Frank. Hope he can stabilise this club.

I think he will if Moshiri stays well out of the way, he won't stand for any messing and if he keeps us up deserves 100% control on the playing squad and backroom staff.

He’s saying all the right things isn’t he. I’m a big fan.
