Everton

Dele Alli hasn't had a great start to life as an Everton player and he missed one of the easiest chances going on Wednesday night against MLS side ...

"The players in the dressing room need to understand that they’ve put in a very poor performance individually and collectively." Speaking after the match, Lampard said, "If we don’t want to be in that situation again, they have to be better and I have to be better. In the 74th minute, the midfielder should have scored, after getting on the end of a low cross, but somehow managed to hit the ball wide with an open goal in front of him, from about a yard.

Everton's poor start to pre-season continued in the early hours of Thursday morning, as the Toffees fell to a shock 4-0 defeat at the hands of Major League ...

At the time, Everton were trailing 3-0. Luis Amarilla and Abu Danladi were on hand either side of half-time to further Everton ’s humiliation. “The players have to work and understand we were in a relegation battle for a big portion of last season,” Lampard told Everton TV. “We had an amazing night [against Crystal Palace ] and an amazing run but, as soon as that finished, I put it to bed very quickly, so the players have to put it to bed as well, because we were in that fight for a reason.

Frank Lampard has had a stop-start managerial career and Everton have a stop-start managerial history. Will they benefit from this long summer?

With less than two-and-a-half weeks to go before the start of the new Premier League season, this was not a sign that much has improved. No team is going to get very far without “a great work ethic and energy” while mentioning that “we’ve made some adjustments in the analysis, sports science and medical departments” may make cynics wonder how much attention was being given to them before. The names of Usmanov’s companies were taken down from the hoardings at Goodison Park and plans for the club’s new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock had to be re-evaluated and refinanced. And there were mitigating circumstances surrounding his arrival at Everton. There was little opportunity to strengthen a dysfunctional squad which had in previous years come to resemble the financial mess that was going on behind the scenes at the club. But when Russian tanks rolled over the border into Ukraine in February, the writing was on the wall for that source of ready income. The suspicion remains that he is the Little Lord Fauntleroy of the Premier League, parachuted into several prestigious positions on the basis of his name and his reputation as a player rather than anything he’d done during his brief and not especially successful managerial career.

After a disappointing pre-season tour in the United States, the Toffees will head back to England where they have a couple of more friendlies lined up. A point-blank miss from Dele Alli perfectly summed up the day for Everton as they were hammered 4-0 by Minnesota United in the final game of their United States tour. The midfielder got the best opportunity of the night for the Blues after Mason Holgate drilled in a low cross inside the six-yard box across the face of the goal.

The Toffees suffered an embarrassing 4-0 pre-season defeat to Minnesota United on Wednesday.

If there is to be good to come out of this, the players and the dressing room have to understand that they have just put in a very poor performance individually and collectively and have been well beaten.” When you think of where we were last year, we have lost a big player in Richarlison. We wish him well, but our club now continues. “We had an amazing night [against Palace] and an amazing run.

Frank Lampard says his players each put in a 'very poor performance' as Everton lost to MLS outfit Minnesota in a pre-season friendly.

It seems Lampard is fuming with his players for putting in such a dire display after training so hard in recent weeks. The lads have trained well and trained hard out here but that performance should give them a lot to think about on the plane home. For me, that starts on day one of pre-season and ends at the end of the season. “Also, through the team, there are things I want to strengthen. When you think of where we were last year, we have lost a big player in Richarlison. But he somehow managed to miss the target.

The 27 Campaign have been vocal throughout the summer about their wishes for Moshiri and Bill Kenwright to leave, over what they percieve to be ...

'Recent responses issued by the club on behalf of Farhad Moshiri have failed to allay concerns. That will continue. Whilst all Evertonians will continue to back Frank Lampard and the team to the hill, we must demand more from you and we will highlight your lack of engagement and the continued poor management of the club in the run up to the new season. 'We have to be direct with you and say that your and your board’s response to the fans is inadequate and shows a lack of respect. 'However, we have to ask you to address the fans as to your plans regarding the ownership of the club, the management of the club and how it solves the obvious deficiencies of last season and recent years. 'When news broke of a possible takeover, the 27 Campaign delayed sending a reply to your open letter in the belief that a takeover was the best outcome for you and the club.

Frank Lampard has issued a warning to his Everton squad following a terrible pre-season performance against Minnesota United on Wednesday.

“The players must be up for the fact they have to fight to play in the team. “The players have to put last season to bed. “We switched the formation to have a look, which was interesting for me to see.

Everton fans share manager Frank Lampard's concerns over a wait for the new signings that Farhad Moshiri has vowed to bring in after the 4-0 thrashing to ...

Also, through the team, there are things I want to strengthen, and I can be honest about that, because a club like Everton has to have a competitive squad.” As memories of Howard’s time at the Blues and Donovan’s fleeting loan spells fade into the past, just how many soccer enthusiasts in the land of the free are going to pick them going forward? Indeed, Men in Blazers , the same podcast who held a sell-out live event with Lampard, Anthony Gordon and Jordan Pickford at Washington DC’s historic Howard Theatre last week, hosted by Scouser and lifelong Blue Roger Bennett, even tweeted “Everton in danger of becoming the first team in league history to be relegated from MLS” as the club were on their way to their heaviest loss on US soil since Czech champions Dukla Prague smashed them 7-2 in the first leg of the International Soccer League final back in 1961, a gruelling eight-match competition that saw Harry Catterick’s side make four transatlantic flights. As a club, it [the Minnesota game] reinforced the situation in terms of what we need to do with the squad, because it has to be stronger that what we saw tonight.” but, as soon as that finished, I put it to bed very quickly, so the players have to put it to bed as well, because we were in that fight for a reason. We consistently get told that results ‘don’t matter’ in pre-season matches and the primary focus remains on fitness at this stage, after all winning the Florida Cup last year proved a preamble to what turned out to be a season that produced the joint lowest equivalent points total in the club’s history.

Manager has warned team and club against another relegation battle while the 27 Campaign will protest against the owners at Goodison Park on Saturday.

“We had an amazing night [May’s comeback win against Crystal Palace to secure safety] and an amazing run but as soon as that finished I put it to bed very quickly, so the players have to put it to bed as well because we were in that fight for a reason. When you think of where we were last year, we have lost a big player in Richarlison … we wish him well, but our club now continues. “The players have to understand we were in a relegation battle for a big portion of last season,” an angry Everton manager said.

The 27 Campaign has announced that a new protest against the running of Everton will take place on Saturday, which comes after the dismal pre-season defeat ...

Their statement continued: "The Campaign calls on as many Evertonians as possible to demonstrate their concern over the running of the football club under Farhad Moshiri and his board. There is a "void" in areas of the squad, as the manager described it - and hard work in the transfer market is the only way that's going to be filled over the coming weeks. They called on any fans in attendance to protest in a respectful manner, and again made their points to the owner clear. Moshiri asked to be judged at the end of the transfer window in his most recent statement to supporters, which strikes as a fair assessment. At the current stage, especially after Wednesday's worrying loss, it seems that positivity has ground to a halt in a lot of areas. Everton take on Blackpool in their next pre-season fixture on Sunday, but that might not be what takes a lot of the limelight.

The Liverpool ECHO's Joe Thomas spoke exclusively to Everton winger Anthony Gordon after the 4-0 loss to Minnesota United.

I could have had a couple of assists, I could have had a couple of goals. He has no doubt they all have the ability to succeed and said his advice to them would be: "Just really keep your head down, be humble. Asked what playing and training with them had been like, particularly Mills, who he could potentially work with on the right, he explained: "It's been different for me because I'm usually the youngest one and to have them has been a bit weird - I feel old now. He should have had an assist after a cross narrowly evaded Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Alex Iwobi, won two free kicks in dangerous areas and saw a shot blocked as it was seemingly about to beat the keeper. Asked what his ambitions for the new season were, he said: "Just to be much better than last year. That includes providing inspiration and guidance to the batch of talented academy prospects attempting to follow in his footsteps.

Everton manager Frank Lampard might look at a deal for Nicolas Pepe if he's available to sign on loan, according to journalist Pete O'Rourke.

He did score a crucial goal in a key victory over Wolves and claim an assist on the final-day, but it was another campaign to forget in what’s quickly becoming a nightmare career in English football. In three seasons in the top-flight, the Ivorian has scored just 16 goals and laid on nine assists, with his lack of consistency leading him to struggle to start regularly. The winger made the switch to England from Lille for a club record fee back in 2019, but Pepe has failed to live up to expectations at the Emirates.

Worryingly for Lampard, Dele is only one of many problems ahead of the new season. If Tarkowski left Burnley hoping his relegation battle days were over, he might be in for a nasty shock. So far, the tour of America has left a bad smell. For Dele, the decline from being a World Cup semi-finalist in 2018 has been sharp. Lampard started him only once in four months last season. There were claims that launching a clothing range distracted from his football.

Also, through the team, there are things I want to strengthen, and I can be honest about that, because a club like Everton has to have a competitive squad.” “So the players have to put it to bed as well, because we were in that fight for a reason. The group was borne out of a process that directly represented more than 20,000 Everton fans. There are also concerns over how the club’s new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock will be funded.

Everton manager Frank Lampard has only been awarded the one signing so far this transfer window in the form of free agent James Tarkowski.

Richarlison’s £50m transfer to Tottenham has raised funds and should allow for an extent of the speculation to substantiate. Irrespective of the cause, the effect has seen the Toffees retain their Premier League status for another season and the order of the day is to now turn the attention to equalling or improving this in 2022/23. Lampard amended his initial naivety as the season drew to a close, setting his side up to be more robust and play to their strengths on the counter with the likes of Anthony Gordon and the now departed Richarlison.

Everton great Adrian Heath has been speaking about Minnesota United's win over his old club on Wednesday night.
