2021/22 Frank Lampard

[nsno-chris]

Well if it is the Lampard thread STOP going on about Benitez.

But that post wasn’t about him though, don’t get upset mate we’ll welcome you back

Frank is in charge, the Evertonians are happy. Onwards and upwards

Got a bit of a bald patch at the back. The old ‘egg in the nest’.

Christ knows what he’ll look like after a season or two with us.

What I find annoying is that if you read my posts all the way back through Lampard, Benitez, Ancelotti, they’re of a similar theme

That the players are not good enough, they undermine managers, our injury record is not good enough, and our recruitment is poor. I’ve wanted continuity in all three managers (and I will with Lampard) to give someone time to sort these problems out.

So when i see posts making out that a home win has somehow sweeped away problems that Benitez ‘created’ it just reinforces this point, it’s just the cycle repeating itself. We’ll get lulled into the false sense of security, that these players are good enough, they’ll stay over the summer then when Lampard is struggling next season the same people will want a change in manager.

I’m pointing out that we won’t see real improvement unless a lot of players are moved out in the summer and we won’t know it’s stuck unless we see improvement beyond 12 months. Otherwise we’ll see the same pattern that occurred under Koeman, Allardyce, Silva, Ancelotti, and yes Benitez.

Pointing out these realities doesn’t mean I don’t want Lampard to do well or I’m trying to compare him to Benitez. I’m not. The people who wanted Benitez out denied the severity of the underlying issues at the club at the time and if they think one home win means this cycle won’t repeat as it has for the last five managers then they’re denying the severity of these issues again.

If we don’t turf the core of these players out in the summer, recruit well, and keep our best players fit next season. Then what has happened for the last five managers will just happen again.

I just think its a bit silly to expect people on an everton forum to not be shouting from the rooftops that a kopite failed at their job and was sacked and things seem better now and taking every little chance to point out how things seem better now

As i mentioned before the idea that it may all go to crap again with this manager and the players may be a big part of that is not i think lanything any fan would disagree with. We have all been here under all these managers. We know the drill.

I first started to get cynical about the club in the transfer window of death under koeman. I picked the right moment, even if i didnt know it then.

Lampard seems to talk sense and in some moments talks more like the footballer he was, than a manager. There seems a lot to like there, more than expected, but more important than him is us having a different core of the team when we start next season. (Or at least try to, acknowledging no transfer is a guaranteed success, but hopefully we get a few right)

I think he must have water boarded that lot after the Newcastle game.

Keep them in the orange boiler suits Frank.

Feels like fans and manager pulling in the same direction. Nice feeling.

You can never let up on these cowards. A certain distance is required.

He looked furious in that press conference yesterday and I'd say he's had some harsh words with them.

Fair enough. Hence why I said about fans and manager pulling together and didn’t mention players.

Personally I think midweek, we experienced what Leeds did today. A loud, scary crowd, and our players couldn’t handle it. The Toon crowd were excellent midweek, and that’s tough to handle. We need that in all our home games now.

We’re all team Frank now. Let him go.

Practice what you preach.

Made up with today. If Frank saves us from relegation I will love him for ever. If he wins us the F.A cup I promise not to smash Christiana on him when I see her in town next. Come on you blues we are staying up an wining the cup.

If we had use of DVB and Dele then that might just be a possibility, without I don't think we should be dreaming of anything like that as it just puts unrealistic pressure on.

I just hope to see more victories like today over the course of the rest of the season. Anything else is a bonus.

The Geordie crowd didn’t help us, but I noticed a visible difference in the players after 2 of our best went off injured early in the game. You could see there heads had fell off at that point.
Plus it gave the horse punchers more belief.

We were second to everything from that point on.

Lamps is loving his time here. I don’t wish to be dramatic or overly sentimental but you can tell he already feels a part of the Everton family.
