VillaChris Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 10 hours ago, Zatman said: They probably should have kept Ferguson from January and they would have stayed up then chose a proper manager in the summer Even if Lampard perfoms a miracle and keeps them up they are favourites to go down next season I wouldn't go that far....Lampard will probably call in a loan or two from Chelsea or elsewhere and they might have an o.k and more motivated 11. Wouldn't shock me if they were 12th or 13th next December and sacked him but that could easily happen to us and Gerrard. Pretty sure I read they might get away with exceeding FFP as -9 deduction would knacker them given their current state if applied in August. I think they'll absorb this season and go back to steady mid table for a few years until the next bad managerial appointment. As I've said a few times they're basically having our 11/12 season and it took us a further four seasons to actually go down which was some achievement when you look at what we were generally signing in those years.

I'm two days late, and largely irrelevant, but you're welcome! Might steal this (anonymised) for a class on meaning unit boundaries, unless anyone objects. /boringteachingpost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Random, but just saw Demari Grey in the apartments opposite us. Was stuck behind the electric gates in his car for about half hour, they wouldn't open (McComack style). Not sure what he was doing round here?

theboyangel Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Well, they played well for the first 15 minutes… i can see absolutely no positives in their team and the way they play. they will need other teams to be worse than them to survive as I cannot see them saving themselves. Absolutely woeful team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 That's two goals that have come off the bar or keeper for a rebound and Keane has not got back in to follow up. Absolutely disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s from Birmingham so probably has a pad here when visiting family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Palace is one of the "winnable" home games they have left. Different feel on that day of course as Palace are just stuck in mid table and may be in FA cup final but after watching that today you wouldn't be confident of winning that. To me they have a look of us in 15/16. Competitive at 0-0 but just give up as soon as they go a goal down. Would love to know how many points Everton have claimed from losing positions this season.

Can't be any in last few months as their only wins were scoring first goal v Newcastle and Leeds. Just checked and it was that early honeymoon period under Benitez, were 1 down at home to Burnley and Southampton and got 3-1 wins. They offered nothing today as soon as went 1 down and was similar at Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would hope Gerrard is smarter. And Lampard’s man management skills are questioned again after accusing players of not having bollocks. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/mar/20/frank-lampard-accuses-everton-players-of-lacking-bollocks-after-fa-cup-loss This is good too: Frank explaining how Everton lost by conceding a bunch of average fluke goals.

Davkaus Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Lampard has to be gone in the summer no matter what happens, surely. It was a poor performance, but a few weeks in the job, publicly asking if the players have the bollocks to play. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally refusing to accept any responsibility for the team mentality as it was like it before he arrived! it may have been, but what has he done to address it - absolutely nothing!

Is it that different to Gerrard saying players didn't have a clue on the gameplan yesterday? Lampard hasn't been great so far but Everton spiraling out of control regardless. His one full season at championship level Derby got to play off final so to me makes sense to keep him around and hope he can built a young and hungrier team than what they have now in the long run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
