Everton sack struggling Lampard as another relegation scrap beckons

0

Lampard
was
appointed
as
Rafael
Benitez’s
successor
on
January
31,
2022,
but
less
than
12
months
later
Everton
are
now
on
the
search
for
yet
another
manager.

The
former
Chelsea
boss
managed
to
keep
Everton
in
the
top
flight
last
season,
with
a
dramatic
3-2
comeback
over
Crystal
Palace
in
their
penultimate
match
proving
enough.

Yet
Everton’s
struggles
have
carried
over
into
this
campaign
and,
with
20
games
played,
they
sit
19th
on
15
points
following
a
2-0
defeat
to
fellow
strugglers
West
Ham
on
Saturday.
They
have
lost
eight
of
their
last
nine
matches
in
all
competitions.

Everton’s
next
manager
will
be
their
seventh
permanent
appointment
since
Farhad
Moshiri,
who
was
in
attendance
at
London
Stadium,
invested
into
the
club
in
2016.

After
Saturday’s
game,
Moshiri
told
Sky
Sports
a
decision
on
Lampard’s
future
did
not
rest
in
his
hands,
a
statement
that
will
only
have
fuelled
more
anger
in
a
fanbase
already
protesting
about
the
way
in
which
the
club
has
been
run.

Lampard’s
record
is
poor.
He
has
won
only
nine
of
his
38
Premier
League
matches,
meaning
his
win
percentage
(23.7)
is
better
than
only
that
of
Mike
Walker
(19.4)
when
it
comes
to
Everton
managers
to
have
overseen
at
least
10
games
in
the
competition.

However,
Everton
have
also
been
hamstrung
by
financial
difficulties
caused
by
previous
misspending.

Last
season’s
top
scorer
Richarlison
was
sold
to
Tottenham
in
June
of
last
year
to
appease
Premier
League
profit
and
loss
regulations,
and
the
void
left
in
the
side
has
been
clear,
especially
with
Dominic
Calvert-Lewin’s
injury
issues.

Lampard’s
team
have
also
struggled
in
defence,
leaking
59
goals
across
his
league
matches
in
charge
over
the
past
12
months.

This
season,
only
Fulham
(36.1)
have
a
higher
expected
goals
against
(xGA)
figure
than
Everton
(34.2)
in
the
top
flight,
suggesting
they
have
been
fortunate
not
to
concede
more
tha
than
the
28
goals
they
have
shipped.

Everton
have
not
made
a
signing
in
January,
but
are
reportedly
close
to
confirming
the
loan
acquisition
of
Villarreal
forward
Arnaut
Danjuma.
