Sunday afternoon saw Frank Lampard lay down something of a challenge to his Everton squad. For the majority of his time as manager, he's comforted them through tough spells and tried to help them along to better results with affection.
However, the soft approach came screeching to a halt after being comfortably knocked out of the FA Cup against Crystal Palace. Following a humbling 4-0 defeat, the manager called out the confidence and mentality of his players.
He accused them of playing at 70% throughout their defeat to the Eagles, knowing that's not enough to achieve what they needed to. And, he knows there's a lot of important work over the course of the international break to drastically improve performances as much as possible ahead of a crucial relegation fight.
