2022/23 Frank Lampard

[Look to the future]

A forward, "false 9" or whatever you wanna call it, used to be an inside forward, but not a striker and not a striker in the sense we need Maupay to be anyway.

Unless you think that at 1.70m Messi plays as a complete forward number 9 who goes up for headers all the time lol

Messi plays in the middle of a front 3
where does Maupay play again?

He doesn't in every game, early on he was an inside forward and played out on either side.

Again, neither fit the way we try to play - midgets going up for crosses is shockingly inefficient.

 

[Wat Tyler]

No mate, not at all

His in game management is very poor.

But the cold hard facts is that we have 4 fit attackers that haven’t scored 50 top flight goals in their entire career

He had money to spend in the summer and bought Midfielders who can’t score a dire winger, and a striker allergic to goals.

 

[Moomin]

i think with better players we would be better

he was at chelsea yearh he got sacked but they’re expectations to ours. it’s night n day

He is crap.

 

[blue to the bone]

Thats a problem i think many Everton fans get wrong. I dont see many of these current Everton players as being any better than those at clubs mentioned.
We have lots of dross. Lots.

Yep.
But if we had junior stanislas , Dominic solanke, kiefer Moore and jaydon Anthony as our attacking options do you think we would be doin better

10000%.

Imagine that light pole Moore sitting in the box waiting for crosses.

My point is he isn’t good enough. His height isn’t the problem.

I'm not one for sacking managers, however, I've seen zero improvement in his time here, regression arguably.

There is zero intensity, takes two, three or four touches to play the ball that's on in one. Full backs generally curtailed and clearly told to play it safe.

But for me, it's the defensive side of things that's inexcusable. We defend like an international side. We just drop into a formation, nothing more. There is zero organised press. The odd time it happens, there is no trigger, it's just one, occasionally two players off their own back. That for me is unforgivable, he's been here long enough to organise and sort that out, that he hasn't speaks volumes.

I don't think we have the worst team in the league, only just better than a couple, but I do think we are the most poorly set up and coached side in the league.

Hoping for a West Ham loss so we can go for David

Honestly still cannot believe he didn’t get the boot before the World Cup. Even more baffling that a huge portion of fans wanted to give him more time.

It's definitely a part of it - you can't expect him to contest high balls against grock cbs, that's actually laughable lol

Problem is rather we're trying to fit a square peg into a round hole with him.

Not saying he's great btw, very limited player and shockingly inconsistent at actually kicking the ball somehow, but we're certainly not doing him any favours.

Nah, Poch first

If we had been calm and patient with Benitez, we would have been in a much healthier situation now. Instead, we pressed the panic button, and replaced one of the most meritorious managers in the game, with a posh boy with little experience and an unimpressive CV. His friends in the media give him continuous protection, and some supporters are unable to see past the glossy image.

I laugh when someone makes fun of managers like Dyche, a proper manager, who, despite having very limited resources, led Burnley to the PL, kept them there stable for several years, and led them out into Europe - a bit the same as Ediie Howe. What is Lampard then? Lampard is nowhere near those managers, although some have led you to believe that Lampard is the next Alex Ferguson if given time. Haha.

You make golfyboys posts seem sane and profound

Unless he has some signings lined up, I think he is going soon. It's a shame and I think he will be gutted too. But it's one step to me stopping supporting a football team and that is good
