Who should replace Frank Lampard?

They need to get a move on. It took these fools weeks to appoint frank. The window is open and games are passing by. Need a new bloke in to evaluate and spend any money asap.
 

Sticking my neck out here, but why the aversion to Martinez?

Our clear issue under Lampard has been our ability to move the ball forward and play a coherent attacking style.

With last years squad, Martinez ball would be suicide, but I think with Tarkowski, Coady and Myko, we have a solid defensive unit (as shown earlier in the season). We also have Gana and Iwobi who can pass the ball. So, couldn't Martinez get a tune out of us going forward, and allow us to start scoring goals, while placing faith in experienced defenders to be solid?

Our inability to move the ball forward has been what has caught the defense out (see Wolves last minute goal and the last three last night). That is further highlighted by the sit and defend success we had against Man City. Our lack of confidence and system going forward has been our undoing defensively.

It's an old adage, but could the best form of defense be attack and could Martinez unlock that?

Whether he could or couldn't, could you imagine him going on TV after his first bad defeat - which with these players would likely be his first game - and talking up the performance as "phenomenal"? Imagine the fume. He'd drive people nuts with his willful propagandising and "optimism". I'm fairly sure Roberto's cheery disposition would incite hate crimes at Goodison in the current climate.
 

If the old guard at Chelsea were still there Id have expected something from them for Lampard.

He's clearly been tasked with building a new young side.

But to do that hes reliant on funds from the board and generated from sales.

Without either...how does anyone turn the forward players into an attacking threat...



Its so clear that our defence are looking ahead and seeing nothing, no movement whatsoever.


We don’t even pass it into the channels and space to open up the pitch n wingers.....that’s either instructions form coach or them not having any faith wingers will actually get to it...

Gray and McNeil are ball to feet players....they don’t make runs.

Dom looks shot, body giving up on him.

Who else do we have ??!! Kids never been tested ffs.

They have sold / got rid all our attacking threat over the last 18 months and not replaced them.

I feel for frank, and any manager we get.
 
He'd ruin all our players

And we will be 12 months down the line asking for another manager change, to a more modern forward thinking younger manager...

But we do seem a good fit for him right now, we have proper brexit ball players.

For some reason Martinez is remembered as this brilliant, slick, attacking manager.

But after season 1, we were probably as static as we’ve been under any manager since.

What happened against wolves last week (all possession in the defensive third and getting done on the counter) was what we were getting from Martinez week after week in his last season. That was with one of the best goal scorers in the league playing for us as well.
 
Said it before we appointed Frank.

The players are again able to survive another round of manager roulette, I understand that the Frank will take the fall but this same group is like a virus and the virus is corrosive to any new player that joins we seem to ruin our own players like some kind of self sustaining black hole.

I have no idea how this gets fixed
 
Got to be Dyche. Only one who’s probably cheap, got the experience and might actually be able to get a tune out of McNeil.
He dropped McNeil when they was struggling at Burnley. McNeil had a terrible season. Then Everton rock up and sign him because we are Everton and don’t have a brain.
 
I reckon it’ll end up being Nuno Santo - with Jimenez in on a last minute loan. Uninspiring.
