2022/23 Frank Lampard

[bicycleheader]

This was never even a thing other than in your demented head. Nobody who backed the manager earlier is still doing it now, it is impossible to do so and results have spoken.

Only absolute weirdos and possibly non-Evertonians continue to back a failing manager months and months after they’ve been proven to be failures. Especially when said manager is an obese kopite who left the club 12 months ago.

It’s another straw man argument from a poster who’s posting history is about 90% straw man arguments. You’d think with that comment that the thread was full of posts saying we should keep the manager, but that’s obviously not the case. At most you can read some saying it won’t change much. It’s utterly tiresome stuff as usual from the loud mouth blert

It's not the way I would describe our second highest goal scorer of all time. I find such vitriol abhorrent.

COYB!

John.

I agree with the vitriol being wrong (some of the language is beyond the pale in my sincere belief), nevertheless the former doesn't excuse his recent actions.

Mitigation? Maybe, yet he's chosen which stance to take and with that comes the responsibility to be held accountable, at least to some extent.

He is part of the board that has allowed this club to decline; he's an ex-player who, perhaps initially for the right reasons, took a position on the board.

But he now comes across as nothing more as a nodding dog, and to that extent it's fair to question the balance between how he has benefited versus the club.

The minority with their threats to the board is wrong, but let's not pretend that slighting the majority with their discontent is something he should be doing.

There are quite a few scum in this forum and you know who you are. I mean actual bad uncivilised human being. I was asked by Chris to smell my dead father’ balls yesterday and Moomin was so curious that he found info on the internet to show whether the decay body of my late father would smell I mean wtf and you call yourself a human? And I tell you lot what, you will get the same abuse from me because you talked and abused my late father. It’s a chain reaction.

Back to the topic, Sunday noon and Lampard is still at the helm. Why?

Don't forget to tag people in when calling them uncivilised scum.

@nsno-chris @Moomin .

No need to tag Lampard, I don't think he posts on here.

Tho he should join once he's been sacked.

Have to. This is a Lampard thread.

I guess pop-corning is fun Jimi? Let’s pour oil into the fire.

For all the stick moshiri gets he’s not gonna let his huge investment half in value by being relegated

 

[Everton1654]

Frank has played under Ranieri, Mourinho, Scolari, Ancelotti, Pellegrini and Capello. Bizarre how you could end up so clueless and inept as a manager taking this into consideration.

He’s got a funny way of going about that

I only backed Benitez until the new year when results were untenable.

People have a go at me because I had the bare cheek to give him a chance as the Everton manager, same as I gave Lampard.

Benitez had £1.7m budget and 8-10 key injuries and truth be told his points won earlier in the season ultimately kept us up last year as soft lad took over him and plunged us into the relegation spots.

Lampards had £85-90m budget, barely any key injuries bar Patterson and Dominic Calvert-Lewin and has a record worse than Benitez yet fans still call him a nice guy etc.

Baffling to me.

Waiter man, gutted the squad of what quality that we had left. Went out of his way alienate players like Richarlson. Just a horrible appointment made by people who have no idea of football, and sure sign the money was being switched off, was all about his tenure at Newcastle is why he got the job.

Then he should be making a firm decision not hanging the guy

Surely the mods banned them for that behaviour?

 

[Axlswhk]

Are we done with him yet?

Of course it's fair to question, be critical, disagree etc. Referring to people as 'scum' and 'vermin' is not acceptable, and should have no place in the dialogue of fans whilst airing grievances regarding the club situation. It's just my personal opinion.

COYB!

John.

If we had given Benitez time, and the fans had given him half the support that Lampard had, we would have been in a much better situation now. Everyone talks about the reasons going much deeper than Lampard, but that was exactly what Benitez was always talking about - the culture at the club. He needed time to change it.

Instead of trusting one of the most experienced in the game, we put the club's future in the hands of a rather inexperienced and incompetent manager. There isn't an excuse that hasn't been used on Lampard's behalf. It's a little comical.

Now, neither Benitez nor Lampard were ideal managers for Everton, but the difference is that one has worked his way up, won quite a few titles, and has loads of experience, while the other has been given jobs solely because of his name. We chose nepotism over competence.

Maupay was a regular starter for a decent footballing side at Brighton.

Gotta ask why players like this struggle here. Trossard i think will fit in at arsenal. I bet if he came here he'd be another maupay and we'd be asking why. I think its pretty obvious though tbh.

This is an excellent point. Maupay should be good enough to help a team who are fighting relegation. Brighton sold because they are now up a level.

It can surely only be put down to bad management and bad training methods. They are not finding ways of making these players effective and I'm sure a better manager would. As bad as the squad is, I think it's better than Bournemouth and Southampton and on a par with the likes of Leeds and maybe a few others. Trouble us we have just wasted a load of the winnable fixtures. And what's worse is he has had his full squad to pick from for all those games. Needs to go instantly.
