2022/23 Frank Lampard

[catcherintherye]

I'm not going to argue on tonight. That level of performance is unacceptable and players not wanting to get on the ball is unacceptable

But... these attacking options are downright pathetic. We are an established top flight club and that is the product we are served up. Its an absolute disgrace and an embarrassment to the club. None of that front 3 or the subs who came on are good enough for Everton.

The worry tonight, was only Coady and Tarkowski wanted it more than their opponents. The rest of the pitch we were 2nd best.

Gordon and Gray were hopeless. DCL isnt fit. Midfield far too casual. A few big games coming up, eek!

Howe did get about 300m to spend though mate. And didnt lose his best player.

Could have been worse. He could have been given 1.7m to spend of a summer.

Nah, sorry, the Frank excuses need to stop. He's floundering because...he's no great shakes as a manager.

230m

Hes spent 230m in 1 calendar year.

Compared to how much Frank has spent?

People are looking for a managerial silver bullet as usual.

It’s not happening with the FFP position and the squad we had. The only way out of it is the gradual improvement window by window of the team all the time creating more head room in FFP to allow more spending.

No manager is getting this group of players consistently challenging the top 6. None. Could put Pochettino or Zidane in there or whoever you want but the reality is the keeper rolls the ball out to our right back and the move is already over, we have two championship level wingers ahead of him who cost us 1.5 mill combined. We have a DM who cost us buttons in front of him who will probably lose the ball under pressure or pass it straight back. We might have a kid that couldn’t get in the United team also. Then we’re hoping that our tall defensive midfielder might be able to make something happen upfront to support either our 2.5 million pound striker from Sheffield United, our 12 mill pound striker from Brighton, or our free transfer from Dalian Pro.

Wtf does anyone expect a manager to do with this?

Last 3 games have been so tough to watch. Lack ideas, skill, decision making, energy, and most of all balls. Need to change it. Limited with options up to but still 2 shots on target in last 3 games well no that’s not good enough at any professional level.

 

[PhilRegan]

If this experiment doesn't work with us I can see him sitting on the couch for bt or sky

 

[LocalNative]

Back end of last season? Wins over United, Chelsea, Newcastle and Palace?

Part of 5 wins in our final 17 games that. Hardly grounds for optimism

 

[Split]

In Frankie we trust???

 

[BlueStevie35]

Lampard leading us into a big relegation battle

He’s not but I’m sure you’ll be tugging one off if (massive if) we did go down

 

[gazzaa2]

At least Frank isn't the only Tory having a bad month.

 

[Saint Domingo]

We are a perfect example that spending money doesn’t guarantee any success or good football

It’s always the manager that is key

We wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in if Moshiri had given his millions to Lampard and Thelwell rather than Koeman and Walsh. In fact giving them to anyone would have been better than those two.

You know reading this, well I just want to cry hahah. This is the most spot on analysis of the current Everton team I have ever seen. Sad but so true.

 

[LocalNative]

The terrifying thing is that was our first choice XI minus Patterson out there

 

[RomanReigns]

I’d rather have the chuckle brothers on the wing than gray and Gordon

 

[GoldenToffee]

Lose on Saturday and I hope he's gone. We made the mistake with Benitez by sticking with him when he should have been fired in the November, don't make that mistake here if Lampard cannot get us the points on Saturday.

 

[davek]

He's got until the world cup to keep his job IMO.

Should it be that way? No. Then again, he sleepwalked into the season thinking he could coach rubbish attackers to get us goals and not buy one in to replace Richarlison, so sympathy is in short supply right now.

I hope we get a couple of quick wins to get us to the transfer window so he can save us and his own job. But if we dont get those couple of wins Moshiri will pull the trigger for sure.
