Lampard praises the players’ hard work and improved form

Heck, there’s a sentiment that won’t sit well with some members of the congregation here!

However, I think that no small part of the credit goes to Frank himself. He has internalized this steely attitude not only on the defensive, but on the whole pitch.

I haven’t seen a single example of something that drove me crazy at times last season – a player losing the ball and then waving his arms and pouting trying to get it back. They’ve all been tireless on recovery this season and did you know we’re top of the league in that category?

“It was very pleasing to see the defensive strength across the team which has given us the second best defensive record in the Premier League.”

Frank, just shut up, mate, you just made us a target for the others.

Work hard and if you pick a quote from it: “We are at the beginning of our process of moving forward”.

See you Saturday Blue Boys!

When Frank took over we were a sinking ship, the players’ confidence was shaken; He himself, his staff and the fans saved us from relegation.

He has addressed most areas of the pitch with little money, solid defence, midfield with power and pace and Maupay is looking promising up front, with hopefully Calvert-Lewin behind them.

We look like a different team and he’s going in the right direction, a manager I think we can trust.

Hard work, hard work, hard work… Frank has come to the top as a player by working incredibly hard and he brings that to management. Long may it go on like this.

And I have no problem with him paying tribute to the Unholy Trinity in the boardroom – they (eventually) got through for him and Thelwell with the money for quality supplements.

Now don’t get cocky lads – we need to keep the momentum going by taking 3 points home from a weak Southampton on Saturday.

Frank’s biggest complaint at Chelsea was that his team were conceding too many goals. I stood behind his signature looking forward to it, but that little voice in my head kept saying, “Martinez reboot?”

nope He prioritized the defensive line. Our first signings were Coady and Tarkowski and he gave young Patterson a chance from the start and I had no doubt he would have done the same had Seamus been healthy.

Then he completely redesigned a terrible, terrible midfield.

He has learned from his mistakes at Chelsea and is building a team in his image. I would honestly give it an A despite last year’s record so far. He’s inherited an incredible team and ethos, and in a single window (basically) he completely reinvented Everton.

A big thank you also to Kevin Thelwell who has done a great job of passing on players and also purchasing intelligently, where needed and generally economically responsible. Thelwell gets another A from me so far.

For the first time since Carlo – who did what he did with silly spending and smoke-and-mirrors – I’m very, very optimistic about Everton. Long may it stay that way, the future is bright again and Hope has shown her pretty face again at this great club.

“You’ve got to have the nitwit to play!” My favorite quote from every Everton manager since Joe Royle accused Liverpool of throwing his dummy out of the pram.

We’ll soon be replacing West Ham as the best of the rest. That means we have European football to look forward to and I don’t care if it’s ‘just’ the Europa League or the Conference League. We need Europe and we need trophies!!

I haven’t been this optimistic since season one under Bobby.

Loved Frank from day one. Great acting, genuine and an absolute legend as a player so he knows how to motivate players. He inspires confidence and is measured.

Onwards and upwards, super Frank.

Frank seems a good fit…

We’ll never catch up with the Big 6 because of 30 years of mismanagement at board level… but we can at least hope to field a team that can play good football and win more than they lose.
