The Caf's Ezza.
The players have also mastered some basic phrases in latinHe's trying his best to put his stamp on the team. Everton's last three goals have been two penalties and a deflection.
bona fortuna to them I say!

Not sure but I think fortuna is always already good so "bona fortuna" would be a pleonasm, pardon my Greek.The players have also mastered some basic phrases in latin

Ferguson wouldn't have done jack shit. He talks a good game and is a hard un but has shown little to prove that he could keep Everton up.
Big Sam? Now we're talking. Where is he nowadays?
I think DCL is an absolute disgrace especially. Modelling when his team is in serious shit and he hasn’t scored a goal in about 12 years is just distasteful and pretty embarrassing. Clearly has his heart set on leaving imo. What are your opinions on him as an Evertonian?Only Richy and Gordon care about us. The rest don’t give a shit.

Here's the thing, there's two options:There’s a potential good manager in him but he’s jumped up to soon. He should of stayed in the lower leagues for some time and learned on the job. I get as a Chelsea man the opportunity to manage them was probably too good but he might of got the opportunity in the future with more experience under his belt. Everton was waaaaay too big a job for someone with his experience. He doesn’t have relegation battle experience. That’s one tough job going in after Rafa and keeping them up, with the players he has. (Mentality wise) as they are so soft! He will have to almost take steps back after this in order to move forward.
I think rooney had the right idea to swerve that one.
I think footballers are entitled to their lives outside of football and I've defended them in the past for their external hobbies and interests but yeah, I can see how it can come across as distasteful when he's been out for most of the season and we are crying out for goals currently. Most of the squad has taken several steps backwards since last season.
Here's the thing, there's two options:
Jumping straight to Chelsea was a bad choice.
- He's good enough and as Frank Lampard he would clearly get opportunities once he'd proved himself
- He's not good enough and would fail
Feels like he was being talked about as an option for the top teams five minutes ago. Now plenty of Everton fans (at least what I've seen on GOT) seem to want him benched. What happened there?
exactly that. He did ok with the transfer ban but the pressure was off and he could almost hide behind it. As soon as you go and spend 250 million on players and you aren’t challenging your gone. Hate to say it but steven Gerrards path Is a much more logical one. He has thought his moves through with thought and process.
This pretty much summarises how I feel about him, word for word.But his attitude towards his team when things got more difficult turned me off him big time. I don't think he is humble enough to be a top manager, and I think his sense of status and ego is getting in the way of being successful.
He actually comes across like he thinks he is entitled to his team winning things to match his personal sense of self, and gets sulky and starts finger-pointing when they don't. And on top he's keenly aware of perception and narratives and reacts to this by protecting himself in interviews - he keeps making a point of declaring that these defeats were not a problem of "tactics" or that the "match plan" was good (it's interesting, the casual way he throws in these buzzwords to absolve himself) while blaming the player's mentality. When really, as a a manager he's got it all to prove, himself, first.
Not a pretty picture.
He did a poor job in his second season at Chelsea, and he's doing an outright horrible job right now. "Not good enough", as they like to say in English media.
Awwww you think people love you!!I'm an arrogant bellend but everyone loves me.
You must be relieved. Viera is doing a really good job.Failed his interview at Palace. Thank God.
I can only speak for myself, but I found him likeable enough as a player, I liked him and found him impressive when I heard him as a pundit before he took over Chelsea, I liked him in his first season of Chelsea where he made a good and likeable young team. But his attitude towards his team when things got more difficult turned me off him big time. I don't think he is humble enough to be a top manager, and I think his sense of status and ego is getting in the way of being successful.

Do they sack him before the weekend now? Or let him play us, Leicester and pool? Unless he wins 2 of them (or 1 win 2 draw?) he gets sacked before Chelsea. Bring in someone like Big Sam for the last 6 games to make a stand and grind out results to keep them over the line?
Is the dislike for Lampard because he's been "gifted" opportunities that he didn't deserve or is there something else? He was always "Fat Frank" of course but I don't remember such gleeful distain for him.
I don't remember him being particularly disliked as a player (maybe he had Terry, Jose, Ashley Cole and Drogba protecting him as kinda hatred lightning rods).
Is there anyone good for us at Everton if they go down?
I can imagine Richarlison will have plenty of clubs after him.Is there anyone good for us at Everton if they go down?
I don't know, he reminds me of Martial so much it's painful. Calvert-Lewin would be a better optionRicharlison perhaps?

Ben Godfrey might be an okay signing on the cheap.Is there anyone good for us at Everton if they go down?
Dont need Frankie Frankie I love you here, thanks.Lampard?
Godfrey is pretty shit to be honest.Ben Godfrey might be an okay signing on the cheap.

I can think of a few Chelsea legends who are more likeable than Lampard. Top of my list would be Zola. Drogba maybe. Gudjohnsen.No idea. Think he’s the most likeable of all the Chelsea legends if I’m honest. Maybe it’s the Ole comparisons that fuel it on here.
To be fair he was one of the greatest players of his generation so he definitely has earned some respect based on that alone , its running out though.Everton needed a coach , who could improve players on the training ground. Yet, they went for Lampard who is a big Zero.
It shows the importance of connections, and it applies to everybody. One can be very under-qualified and yet get the job. Lampard has nothing to fear about his Everton's performance, as he still has big footballing connections and would always succeed in getting roles.
