Thats what i think too. Lampard is a poor manager and the swuad is still very average. They need heavy investment and eith the stadium and usmanov restricted they could be in trouble next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 My missus’ brother is a big Everton fan and he seems to think the fans are onboard with Lampard and that he’s made ‘a connection’ there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt at all that we’d have been on the pitch had we come from 0-2 down at Villa Park to win 3-2 and avoid the drop. Nothing after beating Sunderland 6-1 in 2013. Pretty sure we were on 40 points after that and as good as safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last 8 games they've got 16 points out of 24 possible. Beaten Man U, Chelsea, Leicester, Palace. They've also managed to come back and win after being behind.

KAZZAM Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Proper small time club. Invading the pitch because they avoided relegation is as sad as it gets. Can't stand people comparing us to them, They are like Birmingham City more than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 We’d have absolutely invaded the pitch in that scenario. We’re the only Club I’ve ever seen invade the pitch for winning a quarter final, which was against the not so mighty West Brom no less 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't stand people comparing us to them, They are like Birmingham City more than us. The arrogance of some Villa fans never fails to astonish me. To think we're above being compared to Everton, when we're two both quite historically big clubs that have been making up the numbers and winning no trophies for quite some time. To be honest, they should be more put out by the comparison these days. For reference, this is the second season we've finished above Everton since 2004.

OK sir. Take the piss out of the pitch invasion all you like, but the comparison to small heath relative to us is just a bit deluded, we've not been regularly better than them since the 90s. Have to admit, I did a double take when I checked those historical rankings, I didn't realise just how rarely we finish above them. We were better than them in the 90s, but even in our glory days of the 80s, yeah we won Europe, but they've won the league twice since we did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villatillidie95 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I actually think they will have a decent season next year. probably finish 12th - 8th place or somewhere like that. Think they will need to have a squad rebuild though. quite a few ageing and unfit players will need moving on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Lampard has done a better job than Gerrard so far. I have doubts over him for them long term but they've done well to survive with the fixtures they had. Ignore all this 16th to 16th noncense they had the hardest run in and many predicted them to go down. They have a better team than Leeds and Burnley but they were in a rut. Will see if it all goes a bit Tim Sherwood though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless - I can't see them buying anyone unless they're generating the money from sales, and if the rules are being applied to them fairly, they'll need to sell a lot more than they buy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Fair point tbh....... Quote Leeds & Burnley threaten legal action against Everton and Premier League over handling of club's finances https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61529371 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Not sure Lampard has done a better job than Gerrard, Everton have taken 19 points from the nineteen games that Lampard has managed so far, we took 27 points from Gerrard's first nineteen games. We've also taken more points than Everton since Lampard was appointed. I think they will be okay next season, were obviously in a false position, their squad isn't great but it's one that shouldn't be anywhere near relegation, a midtable team.

Yes I know, our fanbase seems to just do it when we reach Wembley in whatever competition. Pretty sure last time we had mass pitch invasion for premier league match at VP was sending Coventry down in 2001 so it pretty much never happens for non cup games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
