Everton fans are not happy, nor is their boss Frank Lampard. It’s an unfamiliar territory for everyone involved, as Everton stare at the prospect of getting relegated for the first time in seven decades – and their natural-born winner Frank is getting dangerously used to losing.Frank Lampard has lost eight of his 12 games in charge of Everton 😳 pic.twitter.com/StwqKkh8xO— ESPN UK (@ESPNUK) April 6, 2022 Wednesday night’s 3-2 defeat at Burnley was the last warning and a wake-up call for the blue half of Liverpool. The Clarets are still in the bottom three, but have now climbed just a point below Everton in the standings. The difference in momentum is evident.It was Burnley’s first win in six games and also just their fourth in 29 league games so far this season. This one came at the perfect moment from Sean Dyche’s point of view – and at an absolutely worst time for Lampard and his Toffees.Saturday, 14.30: (4.40) Everton (3.60) Man.Utd. (1.90)The result meant Everton had now suffered six straight away defeats in the Premier League and facing the prospect of playing second-tier football for the first time in 68 years, with manager Lampard’s dismay visibly evident at full-time, especially with the Manchester United clash looming on Saturday.”We’re just above the zone so if we didn’t know we were in a fight before then we certainly know now. It doesn’t feel nice tonight. There are nine games where we have to give absolutely everything, every ounce that we have. I will certainly do that and everybody has to do the same. We have to understand we have a game in three days time and more games after that to get enough points to stay in this league. That’s what’s there to fight for.”Everton are now only one point above the relegation zoneFrank Lampard😬#Everton #Lampard pic.twitter.com/1oJmsRpV0e— Ochi (@soo_ochieng) April 6, 2022 Lampard took over at Goodison Park at the end of January but has so far been unable to arrest Everton’s slide, winning just two league games. No one knows where is win number three coming from. Last night, Collins broke the deadlock with 12 minutes gone after yet another defensive error by Everton meant he hooked in a Cornet corner that had failed to be cleared by several defenders. Richarlison converted two penalties to give Everton a 2-1 lead at the break. But Jay Rodriguez and Maxwel Cornet made sure Burnley showed signs of life – which can hardly be said about Everton.PREMIER LEAGUERe-arranged matchBurnley – Everton 3-2 (1-2)/Collins 12, Rodriguez 57, Cornet 85 – Richarlison 18 pen, 41 pen/
