Sack Lampard yes or no.

[TGW89]

Get someone who can earn promotion first time. That's the aim now as this season's toast.

Dyche or whoever, really don't care. Just a guy who gets them up.

 

[Marius57]

Needs to go. I tried one stream, didn’t work, and couldn’t even be bothered to find another one. Apathetic towards watching.

 

[TrixyStevens]

Get him out to [Poor language removed]!!! Anyone thinking this man has the credits to manage a premier league side let alone everton is away with fairies.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

I don't find "we weren't clinical" to be particularly articulate myself

Yeah, I find myself a bit confused by the view Lampard is particularly intelligent or articulate.

Problem is we can back him with players, but if they are rubbish it just lands us with deadwood

That goes for any manager though. The club need to let a manager actually buy players he wants for once. I’d rather give that opportunity to Lampard who has a record of buying good hound players vs someone like Dyche who will just fill the squad with more relegation level players with no long term upside.

 

[Achilles Heel]

He had his chance to shape his squad even with a l limited budget. To start season with only 2 strikers one of whom was constantly unfit was a huge huge error. A team can improve at the back with resilience and experience but to reward that effort they need a strikeforce that can turn tight games into wins. Everton have failed to do that by thinking Gordon and Gray would provide goals from wide or midfield. It is naive at best. Teams around us are investing and improving. We will finish bottom if he remains then walk off into the sunset with everybody outside Everton remembering what a great player he was for Chavski.

 

[Khalekan]

Sadly it has to be YES now.

Though to be honest, I don’t think it will change much in the medium term, at least a prospective “new manager bounce” might give us a fighting chance of survival.

As things stand now we are doomed.

 

[Melchizedek]

I like Frank on a personal level, but we have no hope of climbing out of the relegation places with him at the helm.

We have to change managers at this point and hope that they can get something from this squad of players.

It's really the only (realistic) hope we have.

 

[Mr Mig]

Ask yourself is Lampard the best manager to get us promoted back to the Prem. Thats the manager we should have now

 

[bonsc]

Sadly Yes

 

[davek]

They’ve gone hiding, what did you expect ?

In expect nothing at all outside of that. THAT is my point.

The protests have effectively sidelined them because they'll know that if they get shut of FL it'll be seen as cowards getting rid of a manager who's faced up to the ire of fans when they ran scared.

This is a protest that should have taken place well before now.

If I'm a fan of other club's at the bottom I;m counting Everton as dead in the water right now.

We've seen an act of self harm in the last week or so.

 

[blueblood]

Tactically inept at this level. Outwitted today by an equally inexperienced manager. Playing that system with 2 wingbacks who get a nosebleed when they get into the opposition half means there is zero creativity from wide areas, when our centre forward is most likely to score from crosses into the box.
We are a poor side, but a competent manager would be getting more from them.

 

[sd_1992]

He deserves better than the circus that is Everton (as does any remotely decent person or manager).

It`s been coming for a good few years now under Dave, it`s just that season everything has finally come together and imploded.

 

[roy vernon]

Fair enough mate, but we are passing around too much and slowing down the build up allowing the opponent to form a solid defensive shape most of the time.

It is extremely difficult to break down any defensive shape with our limited players. It is self inflicted in many ways. It’s down to the manager.

The thing is, when we go long the ball doesn't stick and comes back at us most of the time, if we are to go for route one stuff we need a good target man and I don't think Moshiri has the desire to test the profit and loss regs, or to finance a big money signing and we would be talking 20 mill plus to get a target man good enough to play as isolated a roll as he would have to in our team. The other problem, of course, is our famous defence, we had a run earlier in the season when we rode our luck but didn't concede too many, but, we never looked a solid defence. We are now back to the point where every time our opponents get possession in our half they look like scoring.

I think Lampard is way out of his depth here, but, I think any manager would struggle to keep this lot up without considerable backing in the window.
