It'll all come back to the defenders. Mina and Godfrey are by a country mile our best pair but won't be fit. Patterson and Mykolenko clearly aren't up to the level yet either so Coleman and a makeshift left back have to play. Holgate is John Stones, you can see there's quality there but he's too old now to be making the mistakes he does and he's just brainless. Stones had Jagielka next to him, Holgate has Keane.

I see quality in Holgate but Keane I genuinely don't know how he regularly plays at this level. He's awful. Everything about him is. If I were a forward playing against him I'd do nothing but pressure him all game, he can't handle it, you can visually see it. He's like a somehow worse version of Phil Jones who makes everything he does, even existing as a human being, look like it's unnatural and alien to him.

The amount of time they all gave the ball away today was shocking, you can tell that Lampard wants to play out from the back but it is a dreadful sign when you look at your backline and can comfortably say your goalkeeper is better on the ball than them. I think Lampard can sort the midfield after a few games and the forward line sorts itself but this defence will be the death of us no doubt.
Patterson and mykolenko was 2 of the worst signings along with letting digne go absolutely not what we needed in the situation we’re in
 

I'm genuinely amazed at confidence (mindless optimism) we'd get something tonight. There's no bottom for these players, they'll bottle any game, get outfought by any opposition.

The worst team in PL, could easily finish bottom.
Many Evertonians are bipolar. Frank Lampard - a novice manager - was effectively fellated by Evertonians at the weekend. People genuinely seemed to think our ills were all the result of a faded Iberian with a shady past and hospitality sector connotations. The players - demonstrable failures almost to a man - were going to turn over a new leaf simply by "enjoying the ball" - an object most have absolutely no comfort or even vague association with. Well, "Frank Lampard's Everton" is like Cinderella as the clock hits midnight. Back to plain ol' Everton, toiling in the relegation zone with only Keane and Holgate, the ugly sisters, for company. Death spiral.
 

I’m not too sure these players have it in them to fight out a relegation 3 pointer on Saturday, they’ll p**s their pants at the first sign of a press.

After tonight I’m not really sure where we’ll get the points.
