Frank Lampard
Frank Lampard said no-one at Finch Farm was dwelling on the controversial decisions that have gone against his Everton side. Ahead of Everton’s game with Crystal Palace – in which a win would secure the Blues’ Premier League status – Lampard was asked whether the decisions were being used to excuse some of the results suffered by Everton. In response,
Frank Lampard said: “I don’t think the players are walking around saying that and I’m not, I don’t mention it to the players. We just mention how we can be better to get the right results.”
Frank Lampard added: “The reality is that the decisions that have gone against us have gone. Sometimes my responsibility as manager is to talk about it. But it is not the responsibility of the players or myself when I come away from this press conference to go in and say ‘let’s remember the decision against Manchester City that would have given us another point.’ Far from it. There has to be a level of humility about it, where you look at everything and say ‘OK, you think, well, have we had some decisions? Have we played as well as we can? Have we been as clinical as we wanted to be?’ All these sorts of things [are things] that we look at a lot.”
