In the final game of the 28th round of the Premier League, Everton lost 5-0 at the feet of Tottenham Hotspur; it was Lampard's fourth defeat in five league games since Frank Lampard took office. In the battle against Everton, he played a commendable level in the face of Manchester City's attack, but now that the battle is back to its original form, where is everton's problem.
First of all, there is the problem of injuries, Everton after Lampard took office, many important players have been absent due to injury, such as the loss of central defender Ben Godfrey in Lampard's first game, the first goal after Lampard's appointment, and the good form of Yeri Mina also suffered injuries, which greatly affected the stability of the team's defense. All because the team's remaining two England centre-backs, Mason Holgate and Michael Keane, are well-known "time bombs", and Michael Keane's recent serial self-explosion has made many Everton fans cry out. In addition to the two, the midfielder Tom Davis and Fabian Delph are also recuperating from injury, the latter of which has been excluded from regular starts in recent years and can be ignored first, but Tom Davis is also a good sapper midfielder, and the loss of him also affects the team's midfield manpower and tactical execution.
Moreover, the six months led by Benitez can be devastating to Everton. First of all, he drove away the few stars with a certain number of levels in the squad, Colombian star J Ronaldo is still not fully adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League, but his ability to change the game is still quite strong; Lucas Digne is the most stable member of the defensive line, his one-on-one defense, crosses, free throw handling ability are quite good, the loss of this France international is the most deadly for everton side.
Of course, Everton executives are also extremely problematic, they are hesitant to dismiss Benitez, and they are puzzled by the dismissal of Lucas Digne after selling him. In fact, Edomon is one of the two, if they decide to drive away Benitez, why sell Lucas Digne so quickly? At the end of January, when the transfer window was near the end, Frank Lampard was invited to join, and there was no time for him to sign the right man in the transfer window, after the introduction of Ukrainian full-back Vitaliy Mykolenko and Scotland international Nathan Patterson, all of whom were signings to cater to Benitez, so what about Lampard? The team only brought in Ali and Van de Beek, but how much goods the former had left to sell was a matter known to fans; Lampard's ability to do so was useless, even if he had Pep Guardiola's ability.
Of course, Lampard also has its shortcomings, but with insufficient time and manpower, Everton seems to be a dead end game more than Tottenham Hotspur problems. Even if this Chelsea legend is sacked now, I believe it will be difficult for a famous manager to lead the way to save the defeat.
