The Everton team must step up and take responsibility for their poor performances this season.
That’s the view of club legend Alan Stubbs, who spoke after manager Frank Lampard was sacked.

“I’m a bit ambivalent,” Stubbs told Toffee TV.
“I feel sorry for Frank because I feel he’s been dealt a hand that was very difficult in the first place but, in the last six weeks, I don’t think the team has put in the performances to say ‘we’re behind the manager’ “.

“I thought Saturday was disastrous; we could play there for two weeks and not score. We don’t look like a threat and the players just went through the motions.”
“Unfortunately, as we’ve seen with Everton over the last six or seven years, one person always gets the drop – and that’s the manager.”
“I like Frank, I think he’s a very good guy and he got Everton at a bad time. It was the first time in many years that there was a good relationship between the fans and the coach. Unfortunately, it just didn’t work out the way we all would have liked,” Stubbs added.
