No wonder big Duncan is sitting with Lampard's coaching team looking very quiet, subdued, sad looking, uninspired, dejected and most of all looking unwanted by Team Lampard
If think Benitez knew we are defensively well below the standard for this level and that's why he had play deep and hopefully hit the teams on the counter attack and he knew we needed pace in the full back position to help the forwards achieve this .
Lampard obviously thinks he could reinvent the likes of Holgate, Kenny, Coleman and Keane well he now knows that that is an impossible task, no manager on this earth could achieve this miracle, so think again Frank and start changing your thinking.
and Patterson didn't even make the bench OMG
We need players in that can cover the ground with ease
I hope the penny has now dropped with Frank! change the personal before it's too late, stop trying to make a silk purse out of a pig's ear!
This same bunch have been the problem all season and you are putting your confidence and reputation into them.
Frst job find a new captain as i presume Coleman has played his last game, great servant and a wonderful person no doubt.
{Ed014's Note - big mistake running Rafa out of the club but not close to the size of mistake bringing Fat Frank in is, hapless clown.
His record of getting teams out of the Championship is pi55 poor too.

Big mistake running Rafa out? That’s hilarious - he was atrocious, clueless and stubborn. We should have got rid sooner.
{Ed014's Note - ??? or maybe had to decent players for him to work with

He also picked up a 14 points when he had DCL, Richy and a full squad. Playing a high line at spurs with Coleman is the worst any manager could do.

They sucked us in and pulverised us for pace on the counter attack, surely Lampard has the states on our players on how fast they can run over certain distances, if he hasn’t then I can tell him, well below average! So to expose us in this way is suicidal, if it wasn’t for Gordon using his Premiership pace to get back it could of been 6:0
It’s amazing as he must see and judge these players every day of the week to form his opinion, unfortunately we only see them once a week to form an opinion.

Rafa knew the problems inside and out of this club unfortunately everyone was blaming Rafa and not the squad of players he had inherited, now Lampard must of been in agreement with this theory and thought that he and his team could re coach the players to a better level, no chance and I think this is why Patterson and other Rafa’s January signings have never been given the encouragement to shine or play, 5 new players signed in the window and only one is starting, unbelievable!
Rafa’s summer signings Gray massive hit Townsend massive hit Its only when these two play we have shots on target, the other player Rondon is now physically fit and is a much better option to the lifeless DCL that Lampard prefers
Just hope he changes his ideas and opinion quickly before it’s too late
He has got plenty of time to sort this team out if he takes action NOW.

Rafa had the exact same players Carlo did but did much much worse.
Also ruined Inter Milan so bad they’ve only just recently recovered.
Saying getting rid of Rafa was a mistake is like saying Liverpool getting rid of Hodgson was a mistake.

Frank is tactically naive at times but atleast he is getting a reaction out of the players. We would have almost certainly went down under Rafa.

Because 6-0 would have been much worse than 5-0?
We have Mina, Patterson, Myko, Godfrey, Pickford Keane - must be one of the most expensive defensive units in PL and can’t do basics - we have a OAP at right back and sign someone who appears too inexperienced to be in team - who signed that one off!
Ppl can blame Moshri as much as they want - he has signed players we have all been happy with at the time
Pickford
Goddfrey
Digne
Patterson
Mina
Sigs
Allan
Ricky
Decore
Kean
Toson
All players we were happy with when we bought them - either the managers / coaches / environment is wrong because those players are good players who should be challenging for Europe.

Lol Rafa left inter ten years ago and since they have had like 10 different flops managing the club until the Chinese started pumping money.
{Ed014's Note - good luck, you’re going to need it! ?

We couldn’t win a game at home under Ancelotti such short memories some have on this group we only won away because of attacking on the break
Plus the last half of the season we blew away loads of chance to qualify for Europe.

Yes and Rafa ruined the European champions in a few months.

The European champions is not our problem, 99% of Managers are failures at some time with the exception of Pep and Klopp.

No he wasn’t @JB, the issue is the squad and the dross Everton bought for some £500 odd millions over the years. Without players nobody could do a job.

The squad is easily one of the worst in the epl and the table proves that. Benitez should never have been brought in and I doubt many of us will miss him no matter how many fans or eds on here champion him. Our home form will hopefully keep us up but we will struggle again next season because we have too many mediocre players that have to be replaced asap as they’re just not good enough at this level.

Woburn you say benitez is the reason we're in this mess. We had 19 points from 19 games (crap I know! ) . Since he has gone we have 3 points from 6 games (with DCL now fit and having played several games) . And also let's not forget that we were so focused on the Rafa out campaign we forgot to support our football club - since he's gone there's been a positive atmosphere again and yet are points per game has halved.
