2022/23 Frank Lampard

[gazzaa2]

Southampton are in a bad way so we'd expect to beat them regardless of who is in charge.

Oh wait, we're 18th. Yerrrs. Onwards and upwards.

He's having an affect already!

 

[Zeitgeist]

Crazy how much people seem to think that performance warrants another game. We are 3 wins in 19.

 

[hktoffee]

It wasnt an isolated post.

Then? Now he is showing these group of players can’t get points thought 4-3-3. Circumstances change and evolve every week.

Try to make it a bit more obvious your a red you crab

Am I factually incorrect sunshine

When we played 5 at the back everybody begged us to play 433.

Then Crystal Palace 3-0 happened and any pragmatism Lampard had went out the window as he kept chasing that playstyle.

Shall we compare both managers last 42 games, or Moyes 1st 42 Everton games? I know which manager comes out better....

I don`t want Moyes although I think he will do a better job. It`d be funny if those calling Moyes ability in to doubt would be the same people calling for Dyche.... ?

To be fair to Dyche he has not been afforded the same opportunities that Moyes and Lampard have had. He is a manager I would have no issues with us looking at but not as some solution to stop us going down.

Yeah possibly, I would love us to have a couple of options who offer different things so we can change things up too.

I find it absolutely mad that we have Maupay and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (and even Gray and Gordon at points this season) playing at different times yet both playing what is essentially the same role and same style of play. We never seem to play to anybodies strengths (whatever few they have).

I slate them as much as anyone, but I dont think Everton are a rabble.

It's obvious to me that if they're all 'at it' and they had a couple of new attacking outlets then the season would change quickly for us.

The owner and board have to move heaven and earth to get those reinforcements in. It's as simple as that if we want to get safe.

When we played 5 at the back everybody begged us to play 433.

He realised late, but *just* in time last season that he needed to be pragmatic.

The loon was going to Spurs with a high press and trying to go toe-to-toe. He wanted Everton to"enjoy the ball"

He finally twigged that we had to do what was necessary.

He has the same conflict this season I think. He talks about what Everton fans expect all the time in style - front foot etc.

We don't have the players to play how he's trying. It's resulted in us being spanked 7-1 over 2 games Vs Bournemouth, and losing what? 3 league games on the spin at Goodison to struggling teams.

It's why I'm saying a more pragmatic manager, with nous of working with less able teams would improve our odds.

Lampard, with this team as is relegate us.

 

[Lob]

I am even more worried than i was before the game now tbh. All i can take from tonight, the City game and the whole season so far is that if we play poor we get beat and if we play good we mostly still get beat but sometimes not humiliating so. If the board base their decision on tonight's game and not the full picture then we are in really big trouble and will end up in the championship in May.

 

[Lowste]

That feller is barely holding it together now.

I feel for him.

Reminds me of Silva’s final days
Looks a broken and defeated man

Our players will bottle it

 

[Chrismac]

It’s still gonna end in the sack sadly, either this weekend or next if we fail to beat Southampton, his record’s too poor to justify keeping him

100%, if he can't set up a team at home to beat the worst team in the league that have lost 6 on the bounce then its the final straw, the owner won't have a leg to stand on if it happens and he doesn't react.
Maybe, theyre hoping the embarrassment would lead to Frank walking away rather than waiting on 18mths severance pay for him and his buddies/ 'coaching staff'

 

[Papa Shango]

I do not think we have any money to spend in this window (hence the Ings loan move early in the window).

So any good manager, even any adequate manager, will want assurances of money to spend.

No manager wants a relegation on their CV.

We do have money, we just dont have loads.

A loan signing for Ings would make sense as we dont want to be stuck with him a 30 years old on a big contract with a history of injuries if we drop down a division.

We are a very hard sell right now for a full time striker. We are a complete shambles and everyopne knows it. If you were a pro footballer who had no affiliation to us would you come here right now?
