2021/22 Frank Lampard

[marsh]

He needs to somehow make us hard to beat, flood the midfield, be boring if you have to. It's desperate times. And if we are to lose, keep the score down these 4 and 5-0s won't help confidence at all

 

[ToffeeTim]

It works for every other club than Everton, for some reason. It's really not a hard system to get right.

They probably have mobile full backs and defenders who don't shirk responsibility when there are extra bodies around them

 

[ToffeeTim]

I have already said that hiring him was a mistake, I am taking about the three dozen other times so called fans have called for a manager to be sacked.

Benitez should have been sacked in November

 

[Nymzee]

Yes. Very similar to Lampard's record.

But still worse, so no Lampard isn’t worse than Benitez. Stop sniffing glue.

 

[faddy the blue]

We beat Man City 4-0 playing 3-5-2

Hope that's not the logic behind this then.

City also had Zabaleta in DM that game.

 

[BlueToff]

They probably have mobile full backs and defenders who don't shirk responsibility when there are extra bodies around them

That applies to us in any system.

Lampard was terrible today. The system was right at the start but you don't need to play JJK, play Mykolenko because he's left-footed. And it should not have been Gray on for Townsend.

 

[Mark barnett]

How many can they appoint only a moyes or a hassenhattul (only realistic options) could eek a bit more out of this team and even that would mean just staying afloat in prem

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

We were playing well then refuse to properly defend a corner. Something that has been a recurring theme for the last 5+ seasons.

Under many different managers.

That’s on the players

 

[Davideeyore]

I hate back 3. Hate it. Always have hated it. Always will hate it

It does not work

This.

And zonal marking.
I also hate VAR.
And referees.
Oh and Kpites.

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

So all the managers were bad? I really do not believe that and deep down neither do a lot of our fans. Tike we stuck with someone and backed them for longer than a few weeks. Sacking managers as a knee jerk reaction is what has got us in the situation.

Yes? I'm really not sure which one of Koeman, Martinez, Allardyce or Benitez you could make a serious argument for. Certainly no smart club would want them running their clubs long term which is why none have or will get serious offers from anyone else. All of the managers were bad and played dreadful football to boot. Curious to hear which one shouldve been given more time

 

[RomanReigns]

We have still only scored 1 away goal since he joined and that was an own goal scored by a Newcastle player

 

[Ashe364]

The defence can't tackle or win the second ball,they are not good enough to play the ball out from the back .The midfield can't pass or hold the ball .. and the supply up front is totally lacking .I hope we manage to scrape the points to stay up. But after that the team need a total rebuilding job.

 

[Axlswhk]

I’m sorry mate but Holgate is garbage. He’s not even good enough to play in his preferred position.

This notion of playing him in midfield is absurd.

Hardly absurd when Gomes refuse to put in effort. Any players with better physicality and desire than Gomes will completely change the flow of the game today.

 

[BlueToff]

I have already said that hiring him was a mistake, I am taking about the three dozen other times so called fans have called for a manager to be sacked.

and those managers have always deserved to go, cause they've been crap

Just like the players are crap

If we go down, Lampard goes, because he's failed from 18 games to keep us up. Doesn't mean the players get away with it, but if we go down they won't be here to worry about anyway

 

[Gordon Lee's Cushion]

Benitez should have been sacked in November

He should not have been hired, there shouldn’t have been a vacancy for him, our dumb owner keeps knee jerking to dumb fans and it’s sinking the club.
