There was much optimism at the start of the campaign for Everton, with Frank Lampard able to get a full pre-season under his belt as he tried to take the feelgood factor that he’d built from the fans into the new campaign.
Unfortunately for him it didn’t last long. Everton went on a wretched run and the negativity surrounding the club soon returned with some blame going on the coach.
One of the reasons he was criticised was due to some of his work in transfer windows as he signed Dele Alli - who soon got sent on loan to Turkey - and striker Neal Maupay who has been far from successful so far.
