2021/22 Frank Lampard

[marnie]

Keep him no matter what. Let's see who is left after their lucrative contracts are playing in the Championship. What a time to be an Evertonian

I'm not sure what your saying then? Your saying we had it easy but then said they're a good squad of they managed 59 points?

The covid season was easier to manage, no fans helped us a lot in away games as it did other teams as well. We did have a better squad but nearing the end of the season it was just getting much like it is now. Ancelotti isn’t silly he got out at the first opportunity because he knew we were going direction, because we weren’t allowed to spend money due to FFP. Hiring Ancelotti in the first place has proved to be a big mistake.

The moment the transfer window is shut then the manager's job is to improve what he has. To improve the players he has and to implement a strategy that makes the team better than the sum of the parts. Something Lampard has failed completely at.

Just to add to this ( don't know why I'm wasting my time even replying to you tbh ) he had 1 day in the transfer window. So everything you've just spouted is pretty much null and void

 

[lancs blue]

Pure putrid truth is that lampard has laid his managerial future on the line taking this job whilst kenwright and moshri play the blame game.

Poisoned Challace if ever I saw one...

 

[Dario Terracotta]

No matter how hard he will be trying to implement a system here particularly a defensive one if you have a group of players who simply cannot do the "basics" and are making individual errors that cost us on a game by game basis you are really trying to climb the impossible mountain.

I read a post the other day us dropping to the championship could be a sort of reset, I don’t know about that and obviously don’t want us to go down. But I do put really see thing are going to be much better next season if we stay up, if we went down young players would get a chance and we could well unearth a few gems. But really the only silver lining would be is a lot of these player we currently have would be gone, shame it probably would take relegation to get rid.

I don't know, I think Lampard can make a really strong case for pointing out the players, recruitment and atmosphere at the club were all too much to turn around without a transfer window.

He'll get at least one more chance at premier league level, which is more than most of our first team squad.

If we haven’t got relegation clauses then we have contracted players on premiership wages, the club would go under. A points deduction would result too. Not the kind of reset we need, when we might be able to scrape a few wins enough to stay up.

What does it matter who is held accountable and held accountable by whom? What sort of prehistoric suggestion is this. If we go down it would be devastating for the club both morally and financially.

The only thing that matters is staying up and Frank is taking us down. Its pretty obvious. Look at the stats, the results. It's worse than benitez with better players available. He simply has to go and be replaced by a practical manager who will give us a chance. Sam seems the best option because he's proven and he's worked at the club before so it won't take him too long to transition in.

Absolutely nothing improves until this squad is completely and radically overhauled. That doesn't happen if we let them see off another manager. Especially one like Lampard who sees right through them.

It really is that simple isn't it mate.

Just step back Dario and hear me out on this

We sack Lampard
Allardyce gets hired
We lose the next 4 games under him and there's 5 left to play
Do we sack Him? Do people say "it's too late now so we stick with Allardyce?"
We get relegated, Allardyce gets paid off, we need another manager.
Would anyone want to come after sacking one manager after 9 games and then hiring a has been and sacking him after 9 games?
What long term damage would that do? We'd be seen like a Watford, a West Brom.
What players want to come to a club run like that?

If we get relegated, its down to gross negligence from the board, its down to a lack of quality, pride and professionalism from the players and of course Lampard will take his share of the blame along with Benitez.

I'm not even going to entertain anyone who talks about Lampard getting the boot after watching the last 2 games where we've set up fine, created chances, missed sitters and gifted the type of goals relegation fodder teams gift.

Let’s hope so, we need to beat one of the big boys I can’t see that happening but you never know.

The club is rotten to the core, it doesn't matter who the manager is while we still have Moshiri and his misfits running the show and we have backroom staff and players who have got away with too much for too long. Slash and burn baby, slash and burn. We need the Iranian Imbecile and his minions gone. The club has become a laughing stock and we deserve the relegation we are going to get.

Oh well, never mind, porn star martinis in a Pullman seat in our shiny new stadium hey, good old 'Mosh Man'. I'll tell you what, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the Mosh Dome to be finished.

 

[Colonel Getafe]

People calling for Allardyce really don’t care about the club at all

People calling for Allardyce must have a screw loose if they honestly think a guy who was sacked by Moshiri -no doubt unfairly in Sam's eyes- would (a) give Moshiri the time of day, and (b) would do a 180 in retirement to come back for an owner/club that binned him off at the first opportunity, to try to save a team that looks unsaveable, has awful fixtures, and all for the reward of getting binned off again in the summer if he did keep us up.

Absolute lunacy to think there's any universe in which this would happen. ?

Managers would come if the money was right, that’s what it’s all about nowadays. I will say though Frank genuinely does look like he cares about saving us, but tbh I’m not sure he had the know how to do it.

They were good enough to get 59 points last season.

Until the kopite got hold of them, ripped the creativity out of the squad and then convinced them that the way to win a football match is to not have the ball.
