The cup match is now history. The predictable result happened. We were beat. Didn't really think that we would win anyhow. If we had a 2 goal lead , id still not get too carried away. Nothing is over with this Everton team , until.the final whistle. These recent defeats are all so predictable. I really don't have much faith anymore . Supporting this Everton team is draining. Many moons ago , it was a pleasure watching Everton. Not anymore. But I live in hope that those days can return.
Next we play Southampton. I suppose that fixture is a godsend. Would rather that we played Southampton , than having to go away to the likes of Arsenal. But it will only be a godsend if we can win the match. And there it all is in a nutshell. Can we beat Southampton? Who knows.
Can Lampard inspire this team to win this match. Who knows.
Can Lampard maybe for once , play two forwards? Give Ellis Simms a try up front , alongside DCL. Who knows.
Can Lampard go 4-4-2. Get Everton playing on the front foot. who knows.
Can Lampard get our midfield playing like a proper midfield. Who knows.
Can Lampard set up a defence , that can just for once keep a clean sheet. Who knows.
Can Lampard make changes early doors , if things are not working out?
Can we not just for once , turn up , and win this match.
I could go on , but what's the point. When I say , who knows , I think that deep down , we all really know. Lampard won't change [Poor language removed].And
So for once , Mr Lampard , and whatever bunch of player's are selected to play , although tbh I expect much of the same. Lampard doesn't do many changes.
Just drop the ever so predictable dross. And surprise us all , by turning up and playing football on the front foot. Try something unpredictable. Try something different. Try having a few shots from distance. Gray has shown that it can be done. Try passing forwards. Try something. Anything.
Looks like we are all stuck with Lampard for now. Try and make this match count. Try something different. Try . Try . And try again. Try and look like this club is at least fighting. And don't be so bloody predictable. We are only playing Southampton. No need to flood the team with 5 defenders an 2 defensive midfielders. And change that useless unproductive wing play. Aarrrggg.........just win this match.
That's me done folks. Rant over. Up The Toffees.
PS. Last comment , if we do lose this match , please Mr Lampard , don't come out afterwards , and tell us about how great our effort was. That's just nonsense. Have a good day folks.
