2022/23 Frank Lampard

Succession of key moments killed him

The Tielemans wonder goal on the stroke of half time

The clearance off the line v Wolves then their last minute winner

JWP turning into Zidane for ten minutes after Dominic Calvert-Lewin had passed up an opportunity to make it 2-0

Could even go all the way back to Doucoure’s brain dead push on the Chelsea player first game of the season

Almost all the key moments when we had a chance to stop the rot or build momentum went against Lampard every time. If you’d said at the end of the Palace home game that he’d be sacked soon there wouldn’t have been many takers. I’m not convinced he was good enough long term to massively improve us but given the bounce of the ball another way we could have been sat safely in mid table not having these conversations, instead the Everton death spiral kicks in and another manager is out the door.

I mean it’s just quite clearly not down to luck that we’re joint bottom of the table, if that’s what you’re getting at.
 
Ya. He was a lot more likeable than some previous managers but he's not very good at his job . He will be disappointed but he will move on.
Us fans still have to put up with all the other stuff goin on
I wish him well but have not a whole lot of sympathy for him either. He was only passing through the club .

I still am not sure the new manager is going to find this as easy as some people think. There are no foundations at this club for any manager to achieve even the smallest levels of success.

I have a lot of sympathy - I think the recruitment in the summer cost him his job.

it’s a broken club. who ever it is has already got they’re hands tied
 
Honestly not trying to defend this pathetic excuse of a board, but could it be that although the media know he’s sacked, we are still negotiating all the pay offs to his fairly large entourage of coaches?

Hence why they’ve not said anything yet?
Good post but I believe Everton leaked the news anyway. They could have kept it out of the papers had they wanted to.

If there's anybody that thinks this I'm genuinely baffled.

I'm not suggesting they couldn't do better than 1 win in 14. They absolutely could.

But this squad is one of the poorest 5 in the league.
 

I feel very sorry for FL. I really liked him and thought he represented himself and the club brilliantly.

Unfortunately it is a results based business and the results were nowhere near good enough. My feeling is that the squad of players we have at the club should be doing better than they are and that responsibility falls to the manager.

The poor performance of the board is a separate issue completely and certainly I think after the appointment of the next manager a few of them could review their positions as well.

I've seen posts from people saying good management would easily get us midtable.

I think the players are terrible, the club is in disarray on and off the pitch, and anyone taking over as manager has an almost impossible job. if someone comes in and keeps us up, they've done the best job here since Moyes, and by a long distance.

It’s not luck when it keeps happening. I just think Everton managers seem to have a unique knack for turning a bad performance into a whirlwind of utter chaos that ends with them getting fired.

Players get injured, we start conceding screamers from absolute no marks every week, there’s red cards, bad VAR calls, and before you know it a team that hasn’t looked that bad suddenly looks the worst in the league in the space of about five games. I’m still not sure how Silva’s team went from 8th to being fired, Carlo’s from being second in the league and a rock solid defence to Burnley waltzing through us at Goodison, Benitez’s from starting off very decently to getting decimated by Norwich.
 
Everything really, but just the way things haven't worked out. I wanted him to get it right more than any previous manager, but it didn't happen, for various reasons, some his fault, but some not.

Not saying I don't agree with the decision, but find it very disappointing that we got here.
Thing is it is yet another. Silva seems to have coped, Martinez likewise. All of those managers we have binned cant be that bad, so what is it that brings the loser vibe to everyone? Answers on a postcard to...
