Frank lampard - 2023

Anyone else, once again, have that feeling that we had chances today to get a result, but for whatever reason we bottled it when it mattered?

I think i posted a few times in the build up to this match in this thread exactly that
At some point they have to deliver in a pressure game. When that is exactly i dont know. Because it seems they cant.

It's happened a few times this season. If we could convert our chances, we'd be in a much more comfortable position.

I'll watch the game tomorrow and see whether anyone deserves MoM.

Then you will vote for Onana.

He was superb all over the pitch.

Last comment from me tonight. I promise. Because tbh I've nearly had it with this team. Well until next week . And
But id just like to ask. Why did Lampard recall Simms. Why ?
Can the guy be any worse than what we have seen all season. because tbh , we have seen nothing. Lampard has up to now , changed nothing. Lamp
Give Simms a few matches , and let's see what He can do. Play someone alongside him. Even give Maupey a game. Stop all this Gray...Gordon....McNeil nonsense. Flood our midfield. Go 4-4-2. Try something different. Try anything. Aaarrrggghhh....

We''ll be on 3rd probably...after Manc derby and Brighton. 20th Vs 18th not that appealing to most neutrals in January, I'm guessing.

Can’t be surprised. We took an absolutely enormous gamble on most or all of these things happening:
Dom being fit and on form
Gordon scoring more than he ever has.
Gray scoring more than he ever has.
McNeil scoring more than he ever has.
Iwobi scoring more than he has since joining.

Was bonkers tbh.

A good post but it sounds like you want Lampard to be still here next week, that can’t be good news for any of us fans surely.

Onana man of the match no-one else came near and is why we lost. Unless other outfield players somehow match his level we are going down.

 

[when i score we riot]

Shameful day for our great club. A day of infamy really. For decades I’ve been telling my Australian niece how great our support is and how we Everton fans are usually like a 12th man at Goodison. I took her today for her first Everton game and she wasn’t impressed, to say the least.

Having said that, the fans have every right to be annoyed.

For what its worth this comment makes my heart break. We deserve to be proud of this club and our history and somehow we can not, obviously how should we be, watching these clowns. Heres to us making the rest of the season count and make her proud for us again

I agree with that somewhat, but tbf Southampton could have scored a hatfull

Haven't seen such an obvious MOTM in a long time. Onana was head and shoulders above the rest. Pity the rest of the team are not playing near his level. It's what we need to get us out of this mess.
