2022/23 Frank Lampard

[Axlswhk]

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.

Fat waiter had to go. The squad is not putting in an effort for him anymore. He is a good manager when paired with a team of yes man with high work ethics. Our players are the opposite of that.

Get us a manager who can instruct basic patterns of play, or at least understand we will get pressed and countered to death with passing round the back, and such terrible transition to attack.

Gibberish.

This is a brilliant post and 100% true. However people don't like it, Benitez is a good standard premier league manager and excuses can be made for his poor run of form and that is Injuries to key players. He proved at the start that with a full team he could win games and win a lot of them.
Had he not had Liverpool roots he would have been backed and probably finished mid table and then done considerably better this season I'm sure of it.

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.

Well maupay played a different role at brighton. God knows why we bought him to play something he never did there
And the other was they recruit players who are all comfortable with the ball.
We buy the likes of doucoure. Hes not the only one here though. Limited ability.

His obsession with style over substance means he should be sacked. Our passing is aimless and pointless. This is not some slow paced league like serie A. Controlling the possession with no threat is exactly what the opposition want so they can soak up the pressure with ease and counter attack into space.

He stopped playing Everton football and it makes no sense why

 

[HouldingMania]

So the nice bloke is still here? Interesting.

 

[Villa_Fan]

Should have spent that on one quality forward instead would be much better off

I think Maupay can be a good PL squad player in the right team. He is technically good and has proven at Brentford he knows where the back of the net is. But his size and style of play does not suit Everton's. McNeil is just a Championship player and is way too slow.

This is the main reason we are where we are. I’ve watch plenty of derby and Chelsea games when he’s in charge. Exactly same problem of stupid pointless possession

 

[Moomin]

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.

I think Lampard will get sacked today.

I just ignore what that troll says. Probably claiming to be a victim again.

I won't stoop to his levels.

 

[Toffeelover]

Reported Moshi is not backing him.

 

[mikel_88]

Just need to get it done and get the new manager in. But again this board will delay it

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

This is the main reason we are where we are.

They all do it until it’s too late. Especially disappointing with FL as he is the one constantly saying we were obviously going to be close to the bottom again as we scraped through last time and have sold our talisman. Why on earth would you then try and “build slowly through the thirds.”

If he had the foresight to say he knew we would struggle, he should have been playing point scraping simple football from the first training session in summer. He’s scuppered his own excuse.

 

[Moderatelywarmwater]

I imagine that the board want him to resign as it’s cheaper than sacking him….
