Im still of the opinion that the players are primarily to blame however I cant see Lampard's style winning us many points.
He's too attacking in his set up with these defenders.
We need the 4 CB wall thing or at least Godfrey or Holgate at either RB or LB and digging out results.
Its all they are good for.
My issue with this is in the last few league games from Wolves onwards he hasn't been attacking yet the players have made simple errors that have cost us.
Wolves - not blocking the cross, not marking Coady
Newcastle - no real mistakes, we win the game
West Ham - Keane being an idiot, Iwobi being crap
Burnley - Kenny being an entity and Godfrey being crap
Now, I'm happy to pin games like Spurs on him. That was stupid, but since then, in the league, he's clearly changed his approach. Yet the players still make errors.
And of the errors that have cost us there in that list, and that's not including the ones in attack like Richarlison's miss but still, if the defenders do their job it doesn't matter, but none of them could Lampard do anything about other than he should have taken Kenny off today after Burnley's 2nd goal.
I was shouting at the TV for it and Lampard takes that blame for me. But, that might not have changed Godfrey making a hash of the clearance, or Coleman might have got skinned for example.
But the frustration is, none of those errors are down to Everton trying to be too attacking. None of them.
