2022/23 Frank Lampard

[blue to the bone]

What a tremendous 3 shots they were though. That Garner shot on Tuesday will be spoken about for many a year.

Ye had good times

 

[ToffeeTim]

The way he has changed his tactics and personel since the Palace game, is just inexplicable really. It defies logic. It makes no sense

We were near midtable after the Palace game three weeks ago.

How does anyone see two PL losses and a draw and want Lampard gone?

(a question not just aimed at you either).

9 wins since he's been here is enough for me,hope he goes.

 

[Blueclouds]

We have to stick and see what happens

 

[ForeverBlue92]

If we sack Lampard it will be back to square one, we need to hold our nerve and back him in January otherwise its another new manager who will want his own players and the same cycle will happen again.

Not now we have a DOF who actually does the job of a DOF.

 

[navidson]

Any particular order mate with the 3 shots?

It's one of those Ikea '3 Frame' ones - The Garner one in the middle

Chef's kiss

tbf I like having a new manager every season (sometimes 2), freshens things up a bit and is more exciting than what happens on the pitch

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

The question is, can anyone else get Maupay, Gordon, McNeil, Gray to score more goals? If you don’t back any other manager to do so then why judge Frank harshly for it after he’s had one window and fixed the def/mid problems

That is true. That front line could be the end of him, but could also be his job saving excuse.

On the other hand, everyone that has ever seen Onana play in his life seems certain he is destined for greatness. Like Champions League winning greatness. He also seems to have the desire, attitude and self confidence to maximise his career. Ignoring the rapport building with the fans, he has been at best poor, at worst utterly terrible in almost every minute played. Nothing going forward and unaware of players around him when defending. Zero impact on the game. None of his obvious physical attributes used at all.

Onana has done nothing more for the team than Doucoure would have, and I hate Doucoure. But he is still going to the World Cup because his National set up know what he is capable of.

Whether it’s position, instructions, training, diet, whatever, the coaching staff have made the crown jewel of our summer signings into a total nothing player in 3 months. If we bring in Ben Brereton Diaz, Ronaldo and Memphis Depay in Jan and just drop them into our current lineup, we still won’t score.

This is what I don’t understand. Why he has messed around with his midfield setup.

Whether people think so or not we have strengthened the team, but we lack goalscoring players throughout the team. That must be rectified in January, I'm not one for sacking managers unless we have to, but January is for me the last chance saloon for Frank, top class goal scoring winger and top class goalscoring centre forward, we have no choice.

It's the only excitement we get tbf but seriously we have to stick and give him a chance.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

A team with a front 3 of Linton, Almiron and Wood up front are currently 4th

Wood hasn’t played that much and Joelinton and Almiron have been class recently, much like how Iwobi turned his career around

I get your point but Gray has been booted out numerous clubs, Gordon is a kid who hasn’t proved anything yet and McNeil registered one goal/assist in 37 games last season

 

[cantlivewithem]

We're Everton mate. We are a lower half of the PL team. Face up to it.

we should not be a bottom 3 club and that's where we are heading

 

[ford_uk]

He thought we played alright against Leicester

 

[maccavennie]

It's the only excitement we get tbf but seriously we have to stick and give him a chance.

Fair to say he's very fortunate that there's a break now otherwise I think he'd be punted with another defeat if there was another match in the horizon.

But we've got to see something more than what we are seeing. It's not good enough and as manager he has to take responsibility.
