2021/22 Frank Lampard

[NathDogg]

Did he actually say our players haven't got the bollocks to play and be up for it?

Wow, I hope it's true, bout time a manager slated these tossers, they have been taking the living pee out of the club for years.

Really hope he drops the ones we have all mentioned - the kids cannot possibly do any worse.

Frank Lampard....the latest person to realise the truth behind 'once Everton has touched you...' lol lol

Ah well concentration on the Prem now .......vital to stay up.......

See this is what I think, that extra game could of worked against us, we don't need a semi final right now.

 

[Mark barnett]

Who out of the team genuinely gives there all Gordon, Coleman, pickford and maybe Allan at home the rest are more or less strolling with not one ounce of responsibility

Especially the opposition we may have faced ...

 

[ToffeeTim]

Thats exactly what I wanted to hear. Hes flipping spot on

 

[4737carlin]

Yeah a soul destroying semi against anyone right now could of been a coffin nail

 

[Joey66]

As long as he continues to play two men in the middle of the park, Kenny and to a slightly lesser extent Coleman, we will continue to have massive problems. He's blamed the players today, for me, he has to take a fairly large portion of blame for today.

May as well played a few of the younger players who got us a 1-1 draw at Chelsea.....

Disagree with Frank here thought Palace deserved a bit more credit - I thought their second goal was decent. Everytime they got into our box they had good chances. Zaha missed one in front of goal after Godfrey slipped over. Oliseh hit one into the stands. It could have been more.

Perhaps he's playing it down so he doesn't get sacked, otherwise he's going to get questioned why we were so bad. Also looked like he's started to throw players under the bus now by saying anyone who doesn't want to fight won't be part of it.

These players deserve to be thrown under the bus. They deserve it at this point. The days of defending them are over.

They can only perform at home, against poorer opposition with the whole stadium pulling behind to the point where supporters are going home exhausted.

Nobody gets a free pass. Nobody gets let off the hook.

Can’t just keep blaming the manager in the first instance all the time. We need to solve the problems with the playing squad, then we can look at how the manager performs.

 

[kenada_blue]

I really do not buy into the lack of effort myth personally.

These players are trying, they just are shot of confidence and bogged down by years of getting bummed weekly.

Yes its up to the manager to get them flying, but I personally dont think its an effort issue.

I think they try but aren't very good either individually or a collective.

You'd say Pickford, Richy, Gray, Doucs, Dom were premier league quality....the remaining 25 man squad aren't.

No one takes responsibility either when things go wrong. To busy looking at the gaffer and going "it's what you said to do"

 

[Toff33Blues99]

A very scathing interview. He knows the players have let him down. Time for him to act and ring the changes

That's not throwing players under the bus.. it's saying it as it is. He didn't name them... Job lot.

 

[efcsingh]

even if we stay up.. long term we need new manager with modern outlook on the game.

True mate, but we need to do it for us, not for them. There's a good few of them that will need dumping soon, but we can help them get us over the line this season before they clear off. We'll be here long after this lot have gone.
