2022/23 Frank Lampard

[blue to the bone]

I think the key problem is the ownership and I’d focus on that rather than the likes of Graeme Sharp - I don’t think he’s a key part of the problem. Or Grant Ingles

Some fans don’t seem to have any resilience or perspective - football is so much about confidence and the fans help create fear at times in the players and staff, when actually support would help their confidence more. Some fans don’t seem to have the resilience to remain positive through difficult runs

Bore off .

 

[Gilbert..]

If the owners have a plan, and this is clearly communicated externally, and if they bring in competent people who do not underperform, then they will get time. Most supporters can tolerate some losses, as long as they can identify with or recognize what is happening on the pitch. But time is relative, and there must be some form of reinforcement along the way.

[Brendan Janus]

We are doomed, I like Frank, he's realised what we are all about as a club, but he can be clueless at times, which will take us down !!

 

[kenada_blue]

Get him sacked you silly bastards why is he still here

They have to find Mosh first. See what the timezone difference is. Give him a bell...wait for his diary to be free...speak to his assistant...then tell him what happened. He'll then call back tomorrow and ask again what happened.....

 

[daza_1973]

Managers wont get time to build here.
They're expected to turn water into wine with what they have.

Just mid-table consolidation for a couple of seasons would be sufficient - frank came in fluked survival and has gone off the cliff since (much like Mike Walker did in 1994)
He's simply just not up to it at this stage of his career.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Gobsmacked he survived the night. That tells me he's going nowhere and will be allowed to take us down.

Any fan who sits there watching that team and dosnt sense the danger we are in is truly deluded.
What do you want them to do shout come on lads after getting ragged all over the show yet again.
The fans have every right to have a go at the players .
They aren't cheer leaders , there to add a bit of colour and noise, to please the cameras and pump the players ego.
The fans can't kick a ball, can't set the team up , they know when they are being kidded by this club .
The only thing remotely decent are Everton are the fans .
There has been to many happy clappy fan's at Goodison for years, letting the standards drop
While applauding failures.
The board should have been hounded out years a go.
This narrative that is getting spun that the fans are the problem , gives people that are not doing there job very well an easy excuse to hide behind.

I suspect whoever it is will be picked solely by Moshiri and no one else this time

 

[lungo]

I burst out laughing when I seen them all walk back out again. He should have reverted back to the city formation/team. How he saw no issues from that first half proves just how poor he actually is. Diabolical.

After the Patterson horror show and even before the first Brighton goal any idiot could see what was coming. Somebody has to tell him that you can make tactical changes during the first minutes of the game!

 

[radiostar]

Sacking him is merely a diversion tactic from the real issues.

As much as I dislike him, he's not the root cause.

But Moshiri will use him as a human shield as he always does. All we are talking about today is Lampard, not who appointed him, who provides the background "support".. the man who makes all the decisions.

Lampard is the scapegoat.

I have no problem him gone by this afternoon. But this has been going on for years. Ancelotti plastered over the cracks, and even that was with richarlison. And using digne and calvert lewin.
I see very little or nothing in this squad. We get the odd scrapping a point perfomance like city. But quality wise..forget it.
We've bought poorly for years. We've sold our best player of the past 3 years.
Lampard can go. We're still in the same trouble.

 

[dannyboy]

Wether we like it or not this is a relegation level squad. I cba going into individual players again. But we are.

I think they are poor but they are also badly coached. A quality manager could get them playing above the level they are right now then cull the crap. Incredibly this summer we decided to add to the dross.

 

[UltraVires]

Benitez got 19 points from 19 games.

Lampard has 15 points from 18 games at present. That says it all for me.

Benitez was atrocious and as much as I’ve tried to advocate for us sticking with a manager finally, I have come to the realisation that we shouldn’t stick with someone who isn’t up to it just for the sake of sticking with him

 

[Lanolin]

I feel like he's getting away very, very lightly in all of this. You'd think he was a club legend the way some people are determined not to blame him at all for the fact we've won 3 games all season and are seemingly getting worse the longer he's in charge.

I don't care how much of a "relegation" squad we have - we should not be crushed twice by Bournemouth in three days and hammered by Brighton at home - all by three clear goals.

The squad is poor, but they have (hopefully had) a manager who lived down to their level.
