Kid Icarus Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) I think people have jumped the gun far too quickly with Lampard now supposedly being better than Gerrard like. Everton's results have been okay so far but that's it and I'd put that down to a couple of solid defensive signings and a competetive midfield. Coady and Tarkowski were good signings, especially Coady. Beyond that though, they create very very little and their wing play especially is non-existent. They've had 1 shot on target in the last 2 matches. 1! Edited October 21, 2022 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Apparently he was sacked before getting on the team bus. Sawiris getting so angry and storming out at half time last night, followed shortly after by Purslow, that's not a good sign! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's ahead of where Gerrard is IMO but it's a low, low fucking bar. You're right in that they look a muddled mess going forwards (much like Villa) but he's at least tightened them up somewhat, managed to get a tune out of Iwobi who looked like the biggest waste of time ever and made a few sensible signings in Coady, Tarkowski, Onana. For what it's worth I don't think Lampard will ever do anything with Everton other than keep them in that 10th-17th zone, he'll likely run out of road at some point. But I don't see him making such a huge arse of it as Gerrard has. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Everton looked like a bog standard clogger team on Wednesday. 1 shot all game, constant fouling, diving, shithousery and cheating. Lampard doesn't deserve to be put above Gerrard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Tuchel and Poch off the list. Honestly think it might be similar to Wolves and you’ll have to wait for the summer to get the right guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geogaddi Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 No big name world class manager wanted to come to us a year ago when we were in a similar situation so I don’t see why they would go to Villa. It obviously worked out well for us but Eddie Howe type managers don’t come along very often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Yeah he does which is why he may wait until the summer and see what comes up. Juve and Bayern jobs not totally safe, Wolves job may look tempting too if they stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like you’re trying to kid yourself a bit here, like all of your club was madly into getting rid of Gerrard and that can only mean brilliant appointments from here.

Lampard has understood and worked well in terms of squad dynamics and Gerrard hasn't but that's about it. Lampard's not done anything Alan Pardew can't do. Got the support of his dressing room, added "good characters" and put together a hard-working and committed team who defend as a unit. That's enough to get 8-10 wins at Goodison Park. But that's it. They aren't well coached. Gerrard didn't even manage that though. And his transfer approach wasn't coherant. Lampard's was coherant. They'll be a hard team to out battle and out run which will get them points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) Villa need to get the proper infrastructure in place to avoid ending up like Everton. IMO they should have never sanctioned the Coutinho, Digne and that Sevilla defender deals. Edited October 21, 2022 by The College Dropout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
