It was a dramatic rivalry that starred Frank Lampard, the Everton coach, and David Moyes, who is in charge of West Ham, on Saturday. The ‘hammers’ won thanks to a double from Jarrod Bowen (2-0) and Lampard’s future in the position was on everyone’s lips. Lampard said about it “I’m not afraid of getting fired.” But even more surprised, just after the match, was Everton’s much-criticised owner, Farhad Moshiri, when asked about Lampard’s possible sacking: “That was not my decision,” he said.
Everton, who have not won in the Premier since October, are penultimate, but with the same points as the bottom team, Southampton (who lost 1-0 against Aston Villa on Saturday). In the last 8 games, those from Goodison Park have 6 losses and 2 draws, Lampard’s worst Premier League winless streak.
Moshiri attended the London Stadium for the first time in 14 months and he left everyone dumbfounded by saying he couldn’t comment on Lampard “because it’s too inconclusive”. Moshiri was accused of mismanagement and even disconnected from the reality of the club. In addition to his march to the English championship, Everton were eliminated from the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.
“I’m not afraid of being fired. I am proud to do my job. This is all I do. I wake up every day thinking about how to make it better. It was as simple as that. But I know that these times are difficult for the club, but I cannot complain about the attitude of my players”, Lampard’s words, underlining what affected them. the injury to Brazilian international Richarlison, their top scorer.
Everton’s last win in all competitions was a 3-0 Premier win against Crystal Palace on 22 October 2022. Former Derby County and Chelsea manager, Lampard has been in charge of Everton since January 31, 2022.
