You saying we should have give Benitez more time?

I’ve been saying it about every manager since Koeman except Benitez ironically.

He had to go by the end because of results, mood at the club, players downing tools etc. but accepting that is different than blaming him for every problem at the club from day 1 because people didn’t like the fact he used to manage Liverpool. Ignoring the fact we gave him 1.5 mill in transfer money, ignoring the fact he was parachuted in midway through summer with little time to plan, ignoring our ridiculous injury record (which still hampers us now), ignoring our wretched squad (which Lampard had taken no time in completely gutting). All those things were infantile by a lot of people but by the end the best option for all concerned was that he had to go and Everton were back at day 1 of a managerial rebuild.

Let’s not re-set the clock yet again just because we’re not yet the finished article under Lampard.

Yet another nonsense post by you. Its almost like you didn't watch us last season when he kept us up. He deserves time and patience for that alone. (And deserves to be backed with a striker)

We stayed up with one game to spare. Throwing away a lead at Burnley. Loss at home to Brentford. It was awful and could've been secured a lot sooner.

Benitez was such an awful appointment for those reasons of creating the most toxic club in the world. But I believe Lampard was the wrong appointment to make after him, and that is also the fault of hiring Benitez. Moshiri you nugget.

If anyone can listen to that and then say that he’s a manager who won’t ever consider changing up formations if needed then they’ve not heard it.

Pragmatism, compromise, flexible, problem solver. Exactly what Everton need.

When he took over he inherited a squad that because of Benitez was completely shell shocked and devoid of any confidence, players were just wilting and scared to even walk onto a football pitch.
Lampard made mistakes he is still a young manager but he learned from them and found a way to win helping us secure safety allbeit with a huge input from the fans who realised that to survive we had to be fully behind the team
If we are to sack him now we have learned nothing we have to back him for at least this season and see where it takes us.

Forget Demarai Gray
Forget the good start with a fit Dom.

You're absolutely right: forget all about that. If it's all his fault, they'll leave Lampard alone.

Graham Potter has had time at Brighton. His football didn’t look like it does now after half a season. He had massive losing streaks, at one time it was all about how his team couldn’t score etc. he had time to build though.

When will the penny drop for some of you

You can give a manager 10 years - if he’s not up to it, he’s not up to it.

Lampard is overrated because he’s English and was one of the best midfielders in Europe. Same with Gerrard. Both aren’t good to manage big Premier League clubs.

Frank does need until Xmas because we can judge our league position by then. Plus he earned that by taking over from the waiter and giving us hope.

But the jury on Lampard as a manager is out for now.
