The refusal to criticise Lampard by the British media / pundits is hilarious.

Frank Lampard's Everton haven't been lifted by Frank Lampard's arrival.

Just looking on RTG there, seems their new mega rich owner has lost interest already. Oh dear.

Comparisons with Milner? He was about 22 when he left, Murphy is 27 right now.

Missed him today against the real best midfielders in the league. He genuinely wouldn't come close to getting in the City midfield. Humiliating second half.

He's just not very good, the room for improvement isn't there.

I see they've moved on to what Sir Bobby would've made of the ownership.

Did well yesterday. Not the answer long term clearly, but when he plays well it should get credit for it.

I did think at the time that maybe that's an insight into why they are bringing him in gradually. Clearly massively talented though.

Going to need to see a clip of this back.

Decent chance these could be playing Sutton United, Forest Green and Newport County in leeyg one next year.

No way we're getting that result 4 months ago. Look like a proper team again and the crowd were fantastic second half.

He just oozes self preservation. Loves the "expectation" line too.

Joe Gomez is bang average. Never understood the hype.

Taking the fact that it's them out of the equation, their ownership issues and the parachute payment stuff is an absolute disgrace. As is the fact that some of their own fans continue to defend the situation mind. If they can't see it themselves why should anyone else care?

The rest of the members must have still been at work. Realistically with those sort of numbers you never stood a chance of getting anything voted through. The whole thing seemed very under advertised. Perhaps @Greg might explain what he meant about changing the rules? I'm sure some clarity on that would be welcome. Thanks for the update though.

Not yet it isn't.

Gourlay, West Brom's newly-appointed CEO, added: "Steve is a highly-respected and experienced manager who has an impressive record of earning promotion to the Premier League. "His excellent man-management skills, tactical nous, and ability to hit the ground running were among the many reasons we decided he was the man to take us forward.

Two of the top three to play in their next three games as well. Lovely stuff.

For an hour I thought we were in control

It's nice to be able to look forward to his interviews.

Right. Off to read his son's twitter mentions.

You are. They were fifth.

Well wull analyse it. On Thursday when we're in next.
