2022/23 Frank Lampard

[Colonel Getafe]

I don't want him, but in his defense, they were relegated after they sacked him

In fairness to Dyche, he kept Burnley competative in the Prem for 7/8 years was it, with one of the lowest budgets and smallest spends every year, but all anyone focuses on is the relegation which was always going to be inevitable with the limited quality and resources he had at his disposal. I don't think we'll appoint him if FL goes, but you could argue he's under-appreciated for what he did overall at Burnley.

Irish podcast Off The Ball have just released a podcast with football analyst who goes into detail on Lampards tactics. Would recommend

Tactics? What tactics? Must be a pretty short podcast ?

Perhaps someone could send it to Frank? He might learn a thing or two...

What happens if we scrape through on pens or something?

That would require us not blazing the ball 10 foot over the bar from a dozen yards out at least five times. Ergo, never ever going to happen.

 

[Colonel Getafe]

There is absolutely no chance that Tuchel or Poch etc even pick up the phone with us & if the did they’d put it down as soon as they heard “Bill Ke…”

It’s going to be a manager who hasn’t got a club, we’re that goosed that there’s no chance we can afford to pay off clubs for their managers. Especially after we’ve binned off Lampard & his staff.

It’s going to come down to Dyche & Martinez.

Sad but true.

“Goodison owner Farhad Moshiri, who rarely attends matches these days, is expected to green light the start of the process of appointing yet another new manager.

Names are already being thrust at the billionaire owner by agents and a new man could now be in the dugout for the next Premier League game against Southampton on Saturday week.”

Oh boy. That probably means some random Johnny Foreigner from Timbuktu or Roy Hodgson pulled out of retirement..

Vitor Pereira in a false mustache has been spotted on Mosh's yacht, just off the Birkenhead coast...........

Lampard tactics: Press for 5 minutes then concede a soft goal (by a "clown in goal" blunder" or Patersson showing his pub player skills) Dont bother to turn up in the second half!

We mustn't kid ourselves into thinking the performance against City was some sort of masterclass. We had 26% possession and 2 shots, we got lucky Gray scored a rocket and Man City had an off-day.

Yep. A total fluke. One shot on goal! Back to goal for 90 minutes. Luck and more luck. If thats what he is looking for. Goodnight Everton.

The problem is, death spirals are very very hard to get out of without change because obviously there's something wrong with what is currently being done.

It's a real shame, I wanted a young manager to be given a chance and genuinely thought after last season we'd kick on but despite adding new players we're worse. Having no striker is a bonafide excuse but that isn't the reason we don't create chances or miss gilt edge chances.

Some of the players need to man up as well, the forwards missing far too many chances, when chances are hard to come by. The balance in midfield is wrong, gutted Garner got injured as he's supposed to be a good passer of the ball, the current 3 are sloppy and don't have a killer instinct. For all Iwobi's improvement, we need more than just work rate.

Lampard lacking boll-cks. Everyone else's fault but his.

I think the answer is obvious.
Against City it had to be a defensive set up, there was no other option, anything else could have been disaster. We were solid in defence and our midfield was forced into a type of game that suits them

Against Brighton we had a different formation which was really neither here nor there.
Iwobi wad running around like a lunatic but was neither defending or attacking.
Patterson was completely exposed from an early stage and nothing was done to address this, in fact Coleman would have been a far better option in a game like this. Patterson against City was a wing back with Godfrey as cover.
McNeill was totally unable to give Patterson and back up and most of our problems came from that wing with nothing done to change things. Even bringing Coleman on to replace McNeill would have tightened that wing. It isn't as if there was an attacking threat from us down that wing anyway.
I feel the same formation against Brighton as had been used against City would have been far better.
I think Iwobi is seen as the attacking midfielder but I didn't see him offering anything in the last game apart from the run for the penalty when the game was long since over.
The manager is trying to pick a team to win when that team at present isn't even confident of drawing.

Look at the City team and performance and let that be the template.

Somebodys just tweeted 'Dyche Dyche Baby'

and now im fully onboard.

Actually thought he spoke really well, apart from the answer to O'Connor where he again gave the board and DoF protection.

Deals should have been lined up and ready to go. O'Connor as a reporter should have been ready to fire back with examples of clubs signing players straight away this window, as there was a few, and could have used Myko and Patterson as examples last year too.

I wanted a young manager to be given a chance

Fed up of young managers we have now had 3 fail in recent years.
Were no longer in a position (we weren't last season either really) to give a.young manager 2-3 years to learn his trade make mistakes and grow with us.

 

[kiss the crest]

What has happened to Everton going after a Pochitino or a Tuchel why are we linked with a Dyche or a Rooney.

This is what Kenwright has done to us all, we just accept that is our worth.

Howard Kendall rest his sole if he was alive today would have a few things to say about the way the club is ran now

Young manager doesn't have to mean completely unqualified
