You just have no logic to your argument. Lampard inherited a squad from a lazy useless manager

No need to be so angsty when people laughed at you

I would be surprised if Frank lampard is successful at Everton.. just doesn't appear to be the right man for the job long term

Here he is

He’s in over his head, accept it.

It's more Everton are shockingly run at the very top just atm. Nobody's the right man long term until they sort that out.

To be fair benitez has solid pedigree as a manager .. almost a 50% career win ratio over almost 1200 matches .

Not sure he's useless

So they should have kept Benitez?

This is correct ofcourse

Given the jobs he's had he's underachieved and left clubs with badly unbalanced squads when fired. Massively overrated IMNSHO.

Everton back in it 1-2

He had a squad at Chelsea that he did poorly with but they won the CL 5 months after he left.

Was given a £200 million war chest at Chelsea and was sacked half way through the season

Then arrives at Everton and signs Dele Alli for what could end up being £40 million if he stays fit and a waste of wages if he doesn't. Talks a good game but the jury is definitely not looking favorably on him

He’s a busted flush his premiership record in recent seasons is poor and his Everton signings as well as Newcastle were woeful. Even Bruce matched his record at Newcastle didn’t he?

This is definitely a factor. But Lampard won't cut it as a manager.
The man in the opposition dugout tonight has far more about him.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

1-1

Both really , he massively overachieved to win Liverpool the champions league for example , did well to win la liga with valencia twice in the early 2000s .. probably underachieved at Real Madrid and napoli .. inter Milan were better under mourinho

 

[Tommo1993]

Lampard took over in 16th, admittedly in trouble. As things stand they have to fight for survival on the last day, I wouldn’t consider that as steadying the ship.

Big, big job for a not so established top level manager.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Criminal to just let Buendia run through unopposed

 

[The CableGuy]

You had one job Burnley and you failed after 3 minutes of the 2nd half.

Benitez is yesterday’s man the game has moved on and he hasn’t, he t would be a shock if he ever worked in the prem again even with some of these foreign owners who seem to choose managers by the name.

His early managerial career would finish an English manager. Not so sure CL is representative - at the end of the day it's a cup competition. In the league, they went backwards.

There's no doubt he did poor at Everton , his career isn't just Everton though ... didn't do too badly with Newcastle.. a mid table 10th finish .. Bruce never finished 10th

So Benitez wasn’t a established top level
Manager?

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Can see Newcastle trying to sign Pope and the centre half from Burnley in the summer

 

[Grendel]

There's no doubt he did poor at Everton , his career isn't just Everton though ... didn't do too badly with Newcastle.. a mid table 10th finish .. Bruce never finished 10th

Bruce achieved exactly the same Ppg didn’t he?

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Villa on the front foot now if they get ahead they will give Burnley a right doing here.

 

[Tommo1993]

No, Frank Lampard - the guy in question.

This was operation rescue, appointing Lampard was a massive risk.

 

[Evo1883]

Not completely true , they had 4 top 4 finishes including a second place the season the season before his last where they finished 7th .

 

[Evo1883]

Bruce never finished 10th .. each season is different too , crazy I know

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

I’ve got to give it to Grendel, he’ll argue about absolutely anything

 

[no_loyalty]

Everton equaliser.

 

[Evo1883]

I reckon villa will win here , hopefully Everton grab a winner

 

[Tommo1993]

Pleased for them

 

[Evo1883]

Can't give that if they have to replay it 200 times to see if it hit the hand

 

[Evo1883]

Everton winning , staying up as it stands

 

[no_loyalty]

Everton winning

I think they will hold on for the win now.
