When Lampard took over Everton's coaching whip, almost all the media were unanimously optimistic that the young England coach would be able to achieve great things in Merseyside, after all, "famous teachers are high apprentices".
Not to mention that in the winter window, Everton executives also actively responded to the call of the Blues legend, bringing in Premier League "famous" midfielders Van de Beek and Alli from Manchester United and Tottenham Respectively.
Judging from the results, the emergency marriage between Lampard and Everton executives does not seem to have met the expectations of the British media, but somewhat confirms the meaning of "a meal operation is as fierce as a tiger, fixing your eyes on the pestle in situ".
After being hit hard again by rivals Liverpool in this round of the league, Frank Lampard's Everton have officially fallen into the relegation zone, the relegation situation is becoming increasingly serious, and from the situation of the remaining opponents, the toffees' hopes of staying in the Premier League have become increasingly slim.
Everton's remaining 6 opponents are: Chelsea, Leicester City, Watford, Brentford, Crystal Palace and Arsenal.
Looking at these opponents, it is no exaggeration to say that Lampard's Everton team has no confidence in any team.
In fact, Everton's current experience is entirely self-inflicted.
Originally, with the strength of the team itself and the boldness of the boss (Everton's investment ranks in the top five in the Premier League every year), the Toffee has no problem occupying a European seat in the Premier League for many years, but the team has gradually fallen into a dead end in the style of play.
Put it this way, if we compare Atletico's iron blood to dirty, then Everton's "iron blood" is the dirty quadratic.
Yes, it's dirty, and Everton's dirt can even make the fans of the other 19 Premier League teams, who have always been plastic friendships, form a temporary unity.
In the Red and Yellow Card Table of the Premier League, Everton also occupies the top three for many years.
It is worth mentioning that at the beginning of this season, with the entry of Liverpool's legendary coach Benitez, this atmosphere in ever-Edon team has been well improved, but with the continuous arrival of injuries, even if the world-famous Master Bay, who relies on tactics, still cannot escape the fate of being dismissed.
What's even more interesting is that on the streets of Liverpool at the time, many Everton fans took to the streets and pulled up long banners to scold Benitez: Rafa is a big liar, this is not the football we want.
Or is it not a family that does not enter the door? After Lampard took over Master Bay's baton, the Toffee's former style of play revived.
Lampard not only supports the players' various red card moves on the court, but also encourages England's future saplings like Gordon to "find penalties" in various penalty areas.
In fact, at last night's Merseyside derby, the referee on duty should have missed a penalty from Everton, but the referee was stunned not to watch VAR.
No way, Gordon, the guy came to Everton and learned to fake wrestling and logging, you said how the Premier League referee team should judge, it's like the story of "The Wolf Is Coming" that we listened to when we were children.
Judging from last night's derby between Everton and Liverpool, Lampard can say that there is no tactic to speak of, and Everton's formation has only written six words from the beginning of the game: for one point.
Of course, the arrogant Frank Lampard didn't take the last point away from Anfield.
Overall, this Everton team has now gone further and further in Lampard's hands, to attack without attack, to defend without defense, if it were not for the worse Manchester United in the 32nd round, I am afraid that the current situation will be more severe.
