Shots fired

We’ll see what bllocks Frank has now though, because if he plays the same players again and again his words mean nothing.
He needs to show some and maybe drop some of the players he’s talking about.

That's the problem, innit? He can't sit there and question players mentalities and the like and then constantly choose the same players. Where was Onyango today? Dobbin? Pretty much ANY youngster?

 

[anton66]

Surely picking the same set of players who are continually letting the team down and the same tried and failed formation away should lead to them both being binned off instead? actions speak louder than words and when you finish the game with Gordon at left back and Iwobi at right full back while 2 international full backs watch on from the bench, it’s not a good look.
Lampard needs time, no doubt, but playing so open away from home unless you are one of the best teams in Europe is never going to end well, especially if the way you play requires pace and a left foot at full back, which are both sat on the bench.
The same players have been getting away with these cowardly performances away for far too long, make no mistake that “experience” isn’t going to get Everton out of this hole but neither is changing formations every single game. This lot needs the least complicated system imaginable.
Time to step up Frank, sack some of these chancers off and give the captaincy to someone who works hard and has ability

I think Frank might be too scared of totally ditching some of these non-triers as he needs to secure our PL status. Maybe if we survive we’ll see a massive clear out?

At least they will bugger off when we get relagated.

Lampard is taking a gamble with his comments but I hope they pay off and he gets a response from the players. Lets face it, he's right!

They'll all have letters from their mums saying they're too poorly to turn up tomorrow.

 

[ForestBlue]

Didn't see a single one of them angry out there at the teams performance. Lack of bollocks? He's damn right to question them!

 

[luuk_deventer]

Are you telling me that Keane, holgate, Kenny or Gomes have shown enough quality?

More so than branthwaite when he's played and not let anyone down.

I genuinely don't think him, Patterson or mykolenko would do worse, and some of the u23 kids in midfield.

No, but i think the notion of playing the kids comes from thinking that quality and experience are less important than effort at the top level. That is not reality, in my opinion.

Playing untested young players at this level would be cruel. They would get picked apart. These expensive, well paid, experienced international players got us into this mess, they should be forced to play to the end and get us out of it.

 

[Taifi gorm]

Two weeks to work with the youngsters here. No point wasting time on Gomes etc find one or two that can complement Allan and possibly doucoure or Vdb. Someone who won't hide and the fans can drag along.

None of them looked arsed in the slightest.

Frank Lampard quoted as saying
"This is a cup quarter-final to get to Wembley and if you haven't got the confidence to play, you can quickly flip it and say have you got the bollocks to play?"

You tell ' em Frank. Its about time this bunch of losers got called out.

Great

He'll pick the same team next time out

 

[summerisle]

Fine words butter no shithouses, as my nan used to put so pithuly.

This is annoying me : *pithily

 

[Tim's tourettes]

If this is all that's required, the club could have saved itself millions by hiring me as manager instead of Frank Lampard.

I'd be like Seamus. I'd cost 60 grand from Ireland.

Would your tongue be slightly too big for your mouth as well?

[daza_1973]

Let's hope they dont have a hissy fit and down tools.

He was fuming and told the truth
