2022/23 Frank Lampard

This may sound very harsh but the chances we create feel random, the chances Celtic created felt like it came because of the way they played.

Celtic are a better team than Everton, so that's no surprise.

Postecoglou is a good manager tbf, he's had a bit more time with his Celtic team in a much more stable environment to instill the way he wants to play.

Why are people paying any attention to the formation in a friendly game with so many injured or away on internationals???

 

[coollino]

Haven’t we got to beat the Aussie lot who beat Celtic before planning our open top bus tour???

Ohhh thanks for ruining my morning

This is depressing.

They definitely are yes. They play good attacking football with pace.

Speaking after the match, Lampard said: "I think with the back five against possession teams like Celtic it means you are going to have to sit back. It wasn’t the worst thing to do because of the jet lag, the travel and all those things that can affect you if you try to play a high press.

"It is a difficult ask of the players in dry, hot conditions so we made the game plan pretty clear and we created some of the best chances in the game. We created two of the best chances in the first half and then in the second half we had some really good moments. Typically, at the minute it is just the last pass or last shot that isn’t going our way."

Lampard is adamant their trip Down Under comes without a weight of expectation after a rotten run of results in the English Premier League before the World Cup break.

He added: I don’t want to answer that with a no but the sessions we have had so far are just to get the legs going. We don’t want to over-analyse certain areas of our game - this week isn’t for that. It is to play and get minutes into players and, of course, we know we need improve in front of goal in terms of our clinical nature. Some of that comes down to improving and some of it comes down to what we can do in January."


^ That last part is interesting.

The last part desperately needed.

Issac Price getting big numbs up from Frankly I see.

I notice that a lot of the media dont like Frank. That surprised me since he arrived. I thought he was another one of their darlings. But they cant wait for him to be sacked by Everton.

That's another reason I wont Lampard to get a grip of this situation and push on.

Perhaps my view is way off the mark and different to everyone else here....

But I want a successful Everton, to a certain degree the manager and whether "he gets us" is irelevent becuase that doen`t win you points....

I don`t care he is a good man manager when we are doing worse this season than in the last 20 years or so...

I do not care for any of that, I want my club to win games and stay in the Premier League and much more that!

Lampard supporters list of blames....

It`s the board, do they dictate tactics, formations and player selection, yes they have created the FFP scenario along with previous managers and DoF`s, I`m sure these people would be kicking off if previous managers and DoFs were not backed as they were.
Its the players
Its the recruitment
Its previous managers relationship with fans
Its the media
He will be sound when he gets 2 attackers (He bought 2 poor ones), there is no proof that 2 players will change this team around, how does even attackers stop teams shooting at our goal? Dont forget we conceded more shots than any other team in the PL.

Someone like Potter had players playing above their ability which makes the team over perform as Brighton have done in every season, Lampard is a manager that doesn`t get the best out of players, under Lampard they play below their level.... Yes you will say Iwobi and for every Iwobi there is the rest of the squad who are playing well below par.....

 

[ForeverEverton]

Exactly imagine if spurs stuck with nuno instead of replacing him with the obviously superior conte. I'm actually open to a new manager but the suceeding manager needs to be identified beforehand no fruitless managerial searches that seem endless and he would need to beclearly more distinguished than Frank otherwise its futile to sack him.

Also people rarely mention that Arteta was able cultivate success through extensive sound recruitment along becoming more tactically savvy. A factor we dont possess

Correct re Arteta but he was still qualifying for Europe, we will get relegated if we continue as we are....

Being that new attackers are required that would mean Maupay, McNeil are already surplus to requirements as is Gray, Gordon and Rondon.

I dont believe it is these players, when we get attackers how long till it is the midfield or defence again.
