2022/23 Frank Lampard

Shameful day for our great club. A day of infamy really. For decades I’ve been telling my Australian niece how great our support is and how we Everton fans are usually like a 12th man at Goodison. I took her today for her first Everton game and she wasn’t impressed, to say the least.

Having said that, the fans have every right to be annoyed.
Tbf probably could have called the outcome today but top marks for still trying
 

Why? Because He was banking on Dominic Calvert-Lewin being fit and firing so maupay was his rotation/backup.

And for McNeil, he was the rotation option with Gordon and gray. More likely with gray as they were throwing money and responsibility at Gordon to hype him up.

I’m not saying it’s the right thing and I fully agree it seems a massive waste of money, but neither were bought as first 11 permanent starters.

Why are we selling a key first team player and buying backups with the funds? You should never, ever, ever buy a player with the intention of them sitting on a bench. It’s absolutely nonsensical.
 
19 games left and any 3 from the bottom 8 can go down. Someone said on the way out of Goodison this is the best time to have a slump and not when it is too late to recover later in the season. Optimism I guess?
Not as crazy as it seems. Many times over the past seasons relegation threatened sides often put together a run of fantastic results to save themselves. To be fair this side don’t look like they will but stranger things happen

I agree. That doesn’t mean Thelwell and Lampard didn’t do it though. (Even though I think Richie was sold from under them and that’s not on them).

More so in the case of maupay, but do you disagree that he wasn’t bought as the back up? Based off everything Lampard was saying about DCL in the summer.
