2021/22 Frank Lampard

[Muggins]

So why did he take the job, and why has he just thrown all his players under the bus

I think he took the job because as a footballing man, played for West Ham, Chelsea etc, he has known all his life about who Everton are, and if he can do well, it’s a very good club to do well for.

Despite how crap we are and how insane the club running is, it’s still a big job in football in the football world. He wants to be a top manager and has gone for a difficult job.

Your second question, why has he just thrown the players under the bus? Well I’ll be honest and think he’s very very frustrated and embarrassed and also feels for the fans. He’s running out of things to say and said what we were all thinking.

But whether that’s right, after the initial reaction of agreeing, only time will tell. He may well regret it very quickly, however I can’t see the players getting any worse than they are already because of it.

come back to me when you’ve done that poll of your staff, boy

This boy was watching Cattericks team before you were even born.
Its about time you finished your homework and got yourself to bed, you need to be up for school in the morning

Any chance West Ham would swap Moyes for their “old favourite?”

I have probably got away programmes older than you, stored in my garage

Why are you still managing staff Johnny??
Shouldn’t you be retired. They defo think you’re a beaut who should call it a day.

 

[street end]

We’re out of the FA cup lids, so what, the manner of it wasn’t great but I hope Franks words are ringing in the players ears for the next two weeks until they can at least have a go at putting it right, and let’s not kid ourselves players like Gomes won’t be starting the next game.

 

[Johnny Barton]

Ronald Koeman was an egotistical bell though.

If Lampard came across like that then I’d agree; but he doesn’t. He’s driven to achieve the very best.

Poor comparison

Why dont you just agree, being a serial winner as a player doesnt give you a CV to be a serial succesful manager

 

[kenada_blue]

Ronald Koeman was a winner. A far greater and more successful winner than Frank. How is Ronald these days?

Got his two dream jobs after us to be fair....

No, because that’s not what I said. It was in relation to Frank Lampard who I believe will be a top manager.

So you can admit you’re wrong and stand down. You picked the wrong fight gramps

 

[magicjuan]

Really,
Do you really think players who have 3 years on a multi million pound contract left, will just walk out.
Thats why we are still stuck with Tosun and Delph

But we're not are we. It's weeks and counting.

6 years of age when Catterick won the league in 1970
58 years of age now.
Obviously you dont know that the current retirement age is 67.
Obviously maths is not your greatest subject, need to brush up on your homework kid

 

[AndyC]

It was six yards out... if Pickford comes out for that he has to get through a crowd of players. It's on the CBs to deal with it. Guehi was unmarked.

He means the corner immediately before the goal, that JP punched behind

 

[magicjuan]

Stay up or go down, he is not the man for us, next season will be a disaster. We're only out of the relegation zone now cos of Rafael's good start.

Bring in someone who has some kind of tactical nous would be nice.

Rafael ?

I bet you have Rafatollah tea towels...

In his short time here, I think he has been more than fair with players and at times trusted them with more than they can cope with which has led to most of his defeats.

Ultimately he has called out players mentally today asking if they have the fight or balls. He has protected his defence so much with the switching of formation and players, that for me it's having a more negative effect. I have said in the past few weeks, he needs to understand we can't play 3 man defence because our defenders haven't the intellectual properties or time to train in it. I know why Lampard continues with it because they are shitê and our complete lack of defensive midfielders.

Lampard has 2 weeks to drill these players and he has to:

1 - Four At The Back

Long term yeah go for a 3 after this season and you buy 2 new defenders but today, scrap it play flat back 4 with no wing backs and just work on defending crosses, set-pieces and offsides basically back to the very basics.

2 - Mentally Challenge the Challenged

We need a sport psychologist ASAP too because they can't seem to find an extra gear to get to a semi final which screams that they are weak as pîss. Look at Pickford, 2 years ago he was nearly dead and buried as our keeper. Carlo recognised this, the player saw a specialist and he has been consistently one of our better players.

I look at Godfrey, Keane, Gomes etc they are very much confidence players but as Lampard says you can't keep buttering these players up.

3 - Intergrade Dele

When do you start using Dele especially with Allan out for 2 games. 2 weeks of him training with DCL, Van de Beek, Doucoure. He has to step up. I don't think him being cup tied helped because he would've played more but he needs minutes and with his ability, we have to start using it.

4 - Bin Zonal and work on Set Pieces

From the start of the season, Benitez has totally ripped up the strong set pieces set up with had under Carlo and it been the catalyst of our relegation form. For everything Alan Kelly does, he isn't a patch on Davide Ancelotti. He nailed how wañk our defence was but stopped teams getting free header every single game.

It needs fixing now. All this enjoy the ball is useless if the daft twots are giving players a free run 6 yards out.
