It was simply the wrong decision to go for the win by throwing everyone forward. Those decisions come back to haunt you. That’s what should have been done between 70/85 minutes when if you do get caught there’s still time to nick an equaliser. I’m afraid Lampard got it wrong and I think that’s it for him now. We can’t go down, not with this new stadium.

My arl fella was saying pump it forwards while they were pussyfooting around the back four in extra time, meanwhile my older brother was saying if they pump it forwards it won’t stick…
I was thinking they’re both right, and sure enough, the absence of guile in the final third resulted in a turnover of possession……
It is symbolic of the recent Everton teams that there was insufficient fight or guile to win that match and a measure of how far we have fallen from the ‘halcyon’ year of Moyes ?
 
And yet some would turn their nose up at Moyes coming back......

I'm not sure it is as simple as "turning noses up" at Moyes. I'm not convinced any return was a serious possibility, but I think it had more to do with new owner / new ambitions / never going back type thing. Keep in mind, before West Ham had their purple patch of threatening the top 4 Moyes had come off the back of embarrassing Utd, relegation with Sunderland, sacked by WHam once, nothing in Soceidad etc. Had it not worked out at WHam, could have easy gone the way of Pardew etc
 
Tremendous to get another 76 mins out of Yerry.

Bare in mind Howe did relegate Bournemouth, who knows how long he will do well at Newcastle, if he had a run at Newcastle like Frank has had here he would be out.
I think he will do quite well there for a while tbf. For all the "moral outrage" over the NUFC ownership, so far, they seem to be quite sensible: bring in a decent manager who likes to play the right way, dont spend silly money on garbage, build slow and steady etc. (That said, the world's richest club doesn't intend to be "top 7" forever. Like Mancini being booted for Pep, NUFC will surely upgrade at some point, and probably with a sensible choice).
 

Can't play the way Lampard wants because the players are not good enough to make it work well.

Knocking the ball between the CBs pointlessly on the halfway line for half of stoppage time before managing to then go and concede.
 
Was not looking forward to this game and going back to Goodison, we are going down with this lot on the pitch today, let’s get this straight, none of them are good enough. The signings of Maupay, McNeil, Ghana Gaye have been abysmal. Onana looks totally lost. Did not see Kenwright and his luvvies skulking off after the game. Absolutely fuming.
