Frank Lampard Sends Serious Warning To Everton Players After 4 – 0 Defeat

Everton boss Frank Lampard has told his players “they have to be better, I have to be better” if they want to avoid another relegation battle this season.
Lampard was speaking after his side’s 4-0 defeat by Minnesota United on their pre-season tour in the United States.

Everton secured Premier League safety last season with a win against Crystal Palace in their penultimate game.

He said;

“The players have to understand that we were in a relegation battle for a big portion of last season,” said Lampard.

“We had an amazing night [against Palace] and an amazing run which was great historically for the club but, as soon as that finished, I put it to bed very quickly so the players better put it to bed as well.

“We were in that fight for a reason and, if we don’t want to be in that situation again, they have to be better, I have to be better.”
