2021/22 Frank Lampard

[Nymzee]

Two defeats in the next two games and he will find himself in an awkward moment. He did have a tendancy to call out the players at Chelsea but I think he knows that's not going to work here.

Why? We face City and Spurs next not Walsall. I'm expecting a big fat 0 points and anything above that is a miracle.

Straws in the window here. The likes of Toffeeweb have already started to push the panic button in a big way.

Look, I'm just saying: lose the next two and there'll be bedsheets out round Goodison with 'FAT TORY FRANK OUT' daubed on them.

There won't. And toffeeweb? Who cares.

 

[Baines' left foot]

We are doomed with this clown. Kenny for mykolenko? gomez for alllan?????

What is it with you people? What is the obsession with writing managers and players off as soon as possible? Is there some sort of league table that I’m not aware of?

 

[Dario Terracotta]

I think it's time for them to be called out TBH. No more hiding.

Too right, has happened before, one good performance and they appear to think they can"coast",happened after the Arsenal win too, looks like we now have a manager now who is on their cases, just a question now of riding this awful season through, regrouping at the end of it,he will have a far greater idea then of the "character"and "mentality"of this lot and who he sees as options for his squad going forward.

I honestly wouldn't even bother with his posts, save yourself the time

The poster you are responding joined the day after benitez was hired. I wouldn't take it too seriously.

Yesterday will have given him conclusive evidence of the yawning gap between promise and reality. What he can do about it is another matter.

He had already said he was under no illusions, but that can only be true to a limited extent until you come in and see things for yourself. Every manager believes they have the missing x factor to change things and get improvements.

Yesterday was disappointing but hardly a surprise. It's not like he can do a mass cull but he can accept the reality that some of the players cannot be relied on in any circumstances and that 442 won't work with these players either.

The players have shown they can put in a shift when the mood takes them, so a bit of collective criticism from the manager might occasionally goad them into a performance. Either way, I don't think we are going to get much more of the soundbyte type praise from Lampard. He will have seen yesterday that it's tantamount to inviting them not to bother.

Rubbish, Frank won’t get sacked even if we go down. He may walk.
But he has to be here for the long Haul, no manager is getting a consistent tune out of these cowards in 12months, nevermind 3 weeks.

I’ve been saying for over 2 years, in 6 months, in 12months. This player and that player will no longer be here.

4 players that have been a big part of that thinking, Was our back 4 yesterday. It’s not just them 4, but this is a big problem and it has been for a while. Hopefully Frank will get the backing to do a big clear out in the summer

 

[nsno-chris]

It’s mad that this narrative that fans will turn on Frank has come from fans of Benitez, who were all laughing when evertonians were concerned of a potential relegation battle.

Even up until January, no not a chance of a relegation battle. As soon as he’s sacked they’ve started pushing the “everyone wants him gone we’ll be doomed”

Utterly shameless

 

[Blues Harp]

lol lol lol

LOOK AT WHO YOU'VE QUOTED

Love the smell of rs in the morning

 

[rockin' robin]

You don't believe Benitez's flawed tactics played a role in his failure?
Although a highly polarizing appointment due to his past affiliation and just the fact his career was on the wane, coaching in china, many fans including myself initially supported him. But his dire tactics, rampant pettiness that created conflict within the squad and his inability to own up to his culpability for the results sealed his fate. I mean he lost 5-2 to an abysmal Watford side when he was supposedly about implementing a defensive emphasis. Also this was a series of calamitous performances against lower tier teams.
As some posters pointed out Kenny's inclusion was earned through the previous performance, playing Coleman as left back was born from spite.
The Saints game was dreadful and Frank should be rightfully criticized for the match, but it's incredibly early in his reign and there has also been two exceptional performances as well. Being a football manager should be a learning process and it seems Frank is willing to reflect on his missteps unlike Benitez who was hostile and smug towards any form of scrutiny.

I think it's time to move on from the Benitez conversation he's gone let's just focus on Frank.

Post of the day ?

 

[lungo]

Apparently Lampard and Cole were so angry yesterday they drove home without the rest of the staff/players.

I can see things coming to boiling point soon if these players don't pull their fingers out and sadly we all know what that means for the manager of this club when the players decide to down tools.

Means nothing if you cant go to the core of the problem. Getting VDB, Ali and Al Ghazi wasnt going to the core. It was ridiculous. We needed physicality and mentality. LOL. What did we get? Coleman, Keane, Holgate, Iwobi still dancing around. Bambi afraid of his own shadow, Gordon playing like a schoolboy and no clue how to came out of this clusterf...k!

 

[Azzurri]

We are doomed with this clown. Kenny for mykolenko? gomez for alllan?????

Mykolenko has looked crap, Kenny had a great game against Leeds.

Allan was one foul away from a second yellow so was getting bypassed and had to come off.

If you’re going to criticise a manager who’s been here 4 games, at least make it sensible.
