Frank Lampard has stressed that Everton “were the stronger team” in the first half and “lost against a good team” after Wolves recorded a 1-0 win at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon. Facing the media after the match, the Toffees manager addressed boos that were audible around the ground at the full-time whistle.
Frank Lampard said: “I’ve played for 20 years, and I have seen plenty of reactions from crowds. I can’t stand there and say ‘Thanks very much for helping us play so well against Brentford and Leeds (United) and Manchester City ’ – and deserve more in that game – and not expect that the fans that want the team to do well, want the team to stay up and get wins, will not have reactions.”
Lampard also pulled out some positives from the performance compared to recent outings this week.
Frank Lampard added: “I don’t put an emphasis on Goodison Park, I want to get points everywhere. It wasn’t more worrying as Tottenham (Hotspur). Tottenham wasn’t a good performance. Today in the first half, we were the stronger team. The goal changed the whole feeling of the game, and in the stadium, that is understandable the position the club is in. That’s been coming a long time. We have 12 games to go now, so we can’t get stuck in the rut of looking at this game alone. We lost against a good team in a tight match with 10 men for the last period when you really want to push.”
