2022/23 Frank Lampard

[GoldenToffee]

Pitchforks won't go away it seems. Probs win at the weekend and the detractors will crawl away disgruntled till after the WC.

Probs not tbf.

Anyone disagree with any of this???

The media are going to have to bin that 'half a billion spent' talk. That's not relevant anymore. This team was bought after that splurge for the most part, and done so on the cheap.

Saw your post earlier about Holgate, Mina and Keane being up for sale in Jan.

Anyone else of the current squad? From media sources?


He achieved in Germany in a 2 horse race...then PSG in a 1 horse race.

Didnt he lose the dressing room at chelsea and bar winning the champs leagud upon joining wasnt his team doing much the same as under Lampard?

Comparing Tuchel to Lampard. LOL Its like comparing a Ferrari to a tractor.

 

[trueblue84]

Maybe. That said, I doubt he had a clue what a Graham Potter was.

100% he didn't have a clue who potter was. He didn't even know how many players were allowed on the pitch. But potter was spoken about a lot in the media so it's no stretch to say he's gone with an appointment that he thought made him look like he had a clue.

That's not totally right though. Part of the issue is that the backline doesn't stay attached.

This. There are some individual bits of pressing that are quite good. McNeil in particular. But with the midfield not keeping shape and the back not playing a high line there’s huge swaths of green in the middle

Lampard gave the players who let us down persistently last season another chance last night. They let everyone down again.

But why did he think it might be any different to last season? Who else who saw how bad Keane, Davies, Holgate, Doucoure were last season would have given them that chance?

Many would have said the same about Iwobi. He had to try them, but now he knows for sure.

He needs to get it right at the weekend that’s for sure. Another embarrassing loss and I think there will be questions.

What about the players last Saturday?

And if we win they probably should go away. That doesn’t necessarily mean they shouldn’t be out now though. I’ve never quite understood why people think it’s somehow unfair or fickle to be more upset when things go badly than you are when they go well.

But not try them all at once, that was never going to work

 

[Marius57]

I'd live with a Radzinski and a Marcus Bent style signings at this moment in time. I guess Maupay fits this bracket

For me, he is the 6-8 goal striker as backup. A fit DCL is the 10-15 goal striker. The main problem lies with wingers not contributing/creating enough.

The other problem is DCL not staying fit, meaning we do need another striker. Hopefully we already have them lined up.

Better to ignore anything involving Simon Jordan and Jim White regardless of their opinions.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

And again, cant disagree with any of this either....

Ive seen Lampard and his acolytes bemoan the "bias media" always questioning him but the facts are if he was doing a good or even just steady job the media wouldn't have the ammunition they do.

 

[ClausThomsen]

What about the players last Saturday?

Whisper it, because it upsets some people, but last Saturday wasn't the end of the world.

Were Leicester the better side? Undoubtedly, but that was a game by and large settled by a worldie from for one side and on the other a disjointed midfield steadfastly refusing to even contemplate testing the opposition keeper when in possession in similar areas. There's gonna be a lot more of that between now and the end of the season. Anyone who thought that was behind this Everton squad, regardless of manager, was deluding themselves.
