What you’re describing is the football Bielsa was playing at Leeds. Blindly continuing the same methods and systems regardless of who they were playing. As a result they’ve had some massive thrashings this season and that poor goal difference could be the difference between them staying up or going down.
Lampard has done the right thing- realised the players couldn’t play his preferred method so has successfully adapted and as a result is picking up some much needed points.

No I assure you it isn't

It's about chances, create more, concede less, create more high quality ones, concede less. You can do this in many ways, Lampard has yet to find one.

Fact is we are now creating more good chances, Mykolenko and Gray on Sunday, Richarlison probably should have scored 3 against Leicester! Plenty of other examples out there!
But your plan is to change the manager again?

doesn't matter when you said that dave, it still debunks your statement you never had faith in benetiz.

Some of his quotes are hilarious. All about the results ?

And when he talks now about how the fans never accepted him etc but was saying this when benitez was accepted by the fans.

There's literally hundreds, if not 1000s out there.

I saw one about how a manager can only be judged by the team he takes on etc. Lampard had to take on a team that benitez had destroyed. No manager would have found that easy.

We missed a couple against Leicester but there hasn't been a ton else

So if we had 1 against the RS,

If we beat Leicester 4:1 as per Richy's sitters...

If we beat Chelsea 3:0 last game as per Gray and Myko missing easier chances...

That's not good, and no chances were created? Considering we've scored no goals all season - this is the most of what we could've gotten; a cohesive attacking unit with the same idea, actually scoring goals. Do they get every shot on target? No. Do I want us to try and shoot more? Yeah absolutely.

Arsed about how pretty it is as well tbh - as long as we win right now. Next year we can worry about how pretty it looks or doesn't.

There's a serious threat of relegation mate, which will spell actual disaster for the club in case it's unclear, we're getting the results we need for the most part and by pure heart from Lampard himself (he made Iwobi look like a football player) and your idea is to sack him because it's not pretty enough.

If that was the problem we'd have kept Martinez as we would be in League 1 by now. But we'd play with 60% possession though. Ace.
 
My concern is that we seem to be better against teams who want to dominate the ball and we can sit in and fight. I think getting VDB fit could be key for the upcoming games where we need to unlock defences doing to us what we’ve done to other teams effectively in recent weeks.

If his heart is at Everton now, now that his countryman has took over the club that own him.

We haven’t got the players to dictate the play mate. It’s needs must at the moment. I’m hoping next season we bring more pace and creativity into the team particularly a proper number 10.

Like I’ve said before, he really is the gift that just keeps on giving.

You're overrating out chances in those games
 

It seems to be the hot topic so here goes:

Everton 1:0 Man Utd: 7 Shots, 3 On Target, 9 Shot Creating Actions, 0 Goal Creating Actions
Everton 1:1 Leicester: 13 Shots, 3 On Target, 22 Shot Creating Actions, 2 Goal Creating Actions
Everton 0:2 Liverpool: 18 Shots, 4 On Target, 27 Shot Creating Actions, 4 Goal Creating Actions
Everton 1:0 Chelsea: 9 Shots, 4 On Target, 12 Shot Creating Actions, 1 Goal Creating Actions

Thats the last 4 games and we are making improvement in small steps imo. Thats fine for me at the moment as I don't expect this current group of individuals to produce anything much more than whats on show at the moment. Lets concentrate on staying up and then let Frank put his own stamp on things in the summer
