But there was nothing disrespectful or undignified in what he said. He's been in that situation numerous times and knows how it affects a team.
---------------------------------
"I've been down there, I know what it's like and every season there have been tough patches for us. It's hard to explain, but sometimes you sense that a team might have lost how to win a game. I said to them at half time 'I'm not sure these know how to win a game, away from home particularly'.
"I told them we've got to play on that mentality - we do it by playing forward with better quality and being more aggressive in our play."
---------------------------------
I completely fail to see what is close to being out of order there. He knows we're a nervy side that don't respond well to pressure away from home. It's a statement of facts with no malice or misrepresentation.
The only way you could find that disrespectful is if you believe that little old Burnley should be doffing their caps to Everton and acknowledging that this whole relegation scrap malarkey is completely unfair.
Would disagree personally mate, Lampard is a colleague, Everton are a peer, in any workplace if you slate a colleague or insult another man, or out side operation or organisation it’s disrespectful, unprofessional and to my mind undignified. I’d like to think as a club we hold ourselves to a higher standardised then that. I’d be disappointed if a payed professional fr our club made a comment like that about another operation.
