St. Maximin Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 1 hour ago, The Prophet said: As it stands, Lampard and Benitez have the same PPG at Everton. Benitez was a disaster there, but to say Lampard has worked some kind of miracle is lazy. That'll be the narrative though. Of course but a comparison is always going to be flawed. Rafa was there from the start of the season and had no poor run of form to pick them up from, whereas Lampard had to take over a team near the relegation zone where morale was clearly very low having lost 9 from 13 - form was also even worse therefore. Whatever other issues there are at that club (loads I imagine), Rafa was terrible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were exceptionally lucky against us, helped out greatly throughout the match by shit officiating and poor VAR decisions. From what I gather it's been the same in most of the other matches that they've fluked points from recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason they beat us was because some little nerd zip tied himself to the post and we had 27 minutes of stoppage time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the tribal nature of Twitter means he doesn't even have to work hard to get the engagement he needs. Even journos making perfect valid, well written criticisms provoke unwavering rebuke from our social media presence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Jamie Carragher played the game superbly last week. After his comments on MNF, Villa, Leeds and Newcastle fans were absolutely fizzing. A 'big club' debate is not only completely subjective based on the metrics you're using, but it's totally intangible and means absolutely fuck all when you haven't won anything for years. Anyway, he needed traffic for a live talk he was doing and brought it up again, foreseeing the inevitable fume. It was so transparent, but so effective. Lifting.

HaydnNUFC Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Just now, The Prophet said: Jamie Carragher played the game superbly last week. After his comments on MNF, Villa, Leeds and Newcastle fans were absolutely fizzing.

Anyway, he needed traffic for a live talk he was doing and brought it up again, foreseeing the inevitable fume. It was so transparent, but so effective. Lifting. Modus operandi for media outlets to keep fans clubs outside the big 6 involved, is the "big club" debate. Its absolutely pointless, bald men fighting over a comb. What constitutes a big club to one person is different to the next. But ultimately who gives a shit? It's doing Everton brilliantly, being the biggest club to potentially ever go down. What an accolade. Who gives a flying fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armchair Pundit Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 We had a perfectly good pen not given as well didn't we? To be honest, the only two games we'd deserved to lose in recent times was the Spurs game and the Liverpool game, the rest were bad officiating or incorrect VAR use.

Happinesstan Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 On 02/05/2022 at 14:50, St. Maximin said: I don’t see much evidence they’d be in a much better position, if at all, if he’d stayed. They were on the decline for weeks before his sacking, so it’s not like Lampard has made them any worse really. The guy is a legend but it won’t work out everywhere for him and it’s fair to say he made mistakes there if the people that follow the club think so. Surely Lampard was faced with a pretty uphill task anyway given the sorry state of the team when he took over, as opposed to Rafa at the season start, so Rafa has to take blame for that even if the club’s issues do run much deeper. I think there is little doubt that Rafa would have performed better in the second half of the season, despite ignoring the pundits' demands that he change his methods.
