It appears Frank Lampard is legit o

[danfo driver]

Lampard did NOT fail at Derby. Thats a complete lie.

He also did NOT fail at Chelsea. He did not have a transfer window the first year and actually used the kids to perform quite well. if given time would he have failed, ABSOLUTELY! I HAVE NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT! But if we are being completely honest he did not fail per se. His second season was not great and he could have done much better, but thats not failure.

At Everton he is absolutely failing and if they are not careful, he will relegate them. Looking at their fixtures, there are maybe only 2 games I see them collecting wins from. What they need now is an assistant who is defensively minded to come in and help him.

Its shocking the way he played against tottenham. Complete naïveté. You watched tottenham play their last 6 games and you thought it was wise to show up and play with that defensive line??? city that is 10000000000 x better than you got picked off playing a high line and you thought you should do the same? When sitting back and hitting tottenham on the counter would have guaranteed you a victory???

Sitting back in a defence with error prone Michael Keane, my brother either way they were doomed to be beaten with that defence.

Uncle, I defer to you, but I would be surprised. Crap teams in Europa Conference League knocked Spurs out by sitting back! Middlesbrough and Burnley did the same. Wolves and Southampton did the same. Conte knows how to play only one tactic and if you sit back, you will defeat his team. Its shocking that its actually that simple.

[GG of G]

I couldn't get my head around the naivete of it all - after 10mins, it was clear it was going to be a routing if Lampard continue to play like that, and play like that they did for the remaining 80! Pathetic, the relegation battle will be very interesting

[Coach]

Tottenham are near experts at the hurried counter vs the high defensive line. What Lampard did was tantamount to treason higher than Scott Pipen on stilts smoking Snoop Dog’s most bespoke sticky icky icky. Absolute madness. Yes he should’ve sat back, offered up some sort of resistance and forced Tottenham out as the home side.

With Wolves, Newcastle and West Ham to come, points will come at a premium. If the Toffees survive, it will be solely down to the fact that 3 teams were more poorly managed.

The highlighted part is why i said sitting back would not help them that much. Maybe prevent them from collecting 5. Their defence is terrible, how many goals have Keane cost them this season, nothing less than 6. I watched them hold City sitting deep, las lasl, like the defenders at Crystal Palace Keane managed to strike on the last minute.

Sitting back is not given, you still need personnel who wont cause penalty or give away free goals. I dont think this Everton defence have that ability. That is my point. You cannot compare those defences you mention to what Everton parades, that is why they are staring relegation in the face.

Uncle, Did you see Spurs in Conference League and against Middlesbrough??????

Keane is better than the defenders Spurs faced in the Conference league and Middlesbrough. Trust me on this one. sitting back is A GIVEN with Tottenham. If you want to beat Spurs, just deny them space behind and its that easy! simply that easy. LOL.

[danfo driver]

Uncle Oloye,

Did you see see how United defeated Tottenham? As worthless as United is and as terrible as their defense is, yet, you saw how they did it? The same way all those conference teams did it! Like I said, beating Tottenham is easy! You don’t need to even put in effort… just sit back and they will be clueless. They can’t defend because they have crap defenders and they can’t score against you because their coach only knows one way and can’t adapt.

His only credentials for bagging the Everton job was his nationality and popularity.

Based on his track record, the bobo had no business coaching a team in a relegation battle. Just watched this game today and they are absolutely without direction, and his substitutions are complete nonsense. At this point, smart money is on Everton getting relegated.

Rafa has to take a share of the blame, he drove the bus into the alley. They were already looking dead. Lampard presented as a driver who could navigate the bus away from the dark alley,but so far has shown he does not appear to know where he is going never mind navigating the bus out of the alley.

You think they shouldnt?

Two things--

1. When Rafa was hired, I said this will be the biggest mistake of his career. the man never learns his lesson. There are some jobs where you cant win. If you win, the people will refuse that you won. However, if you fail, the people will murder you in a way you have never been murdered! He took the Chelsea job, knowing full well that the Chelsea fans hated him! That was a no win. He then took the Inter Milan job, knowing full well that his biggest nemesis was a "god" there and nothing he will ever do will make him accepted! He then made the mistake of acting like a child, removing Mourinho's pictures from the club, trying to wipe of Mourinho's memory! A man who just won them the treble??!! of course that made him public enemy number 1 and he was fired! Then, being the true arrogant man that he is, he then decided to go to Everton! A place were they despise you! What was he thinking?? That was a zero winnable situation! even if he did well there, the fans will never accept him and if anything went wrong--- if the clock stopped working in the canteen, the fans will blame him!

2. he is now a very very very very bad coach! very bad! This is a guy who was fighting relegation in China. When i say, he is finished, he is beyond finished! HE came and took them right into the gutter and gave Lampard the team to finally bury them.

[benteke]

But guys i get that Rafa didn't leave Everton in a good place, but i seem to remember that Lampard came in and even had time to go into the transfer market and get a couple of signings that he said would revive the club.

have yall seen their fixtures, in April they play Westham, Pool, unitrd and Chelsea

Yes o Big P, that is why they get paid the big bucks, if the kitchen is too hot, I guess Lampard can leave. Seriously, when you watch teams like Wolves and Crystal Palace demonstrate what a good coach can achieve, I have no pity for Everton who decided against that Portugese guy for some weird reason in exchange for the English Darling - definitely no Gerrard is he
