Frank Lampard’s Everton reign has been thrown into further turmoil after a humbling 4-1 defeat against Brighton at Goodison Park on Tuesday night. The Toffees were overwhelmed by the Seagulls and lost three goals in six minutes of second-half play, leaving them only a point above the relegation zone, with the clubs behind them having a game in hand.
The result has intensified the pressure on Lampard, and his managerial ability has been questioned. However, despite his current predicament, the former Chelsea manager insists he still believes in his skills and will not give up without a fight.
It’s now three wins in 18 league games for Lampard since he took the reins at Everton, and the club will now be hoping that their manager can rediscover the winning formula and get them out of their current slump.
It won’t be easy with a challenging run of fixtures, including an FA fixture against Manchester United, but Lampard is adamant that he and his team will be up to the task. The pressure is now on Lampard to turn things around and get positive results. With a crucial period of fixtures ahead, the Everton fans and the club’s hierarchy will be hoping their manager can rise to the challenge and secure the points they need to move clear of the relegation place.
