Frank Lampard
Frank Lampard was appointed as Everton manager in January 2022

"I'm not looking around for any reassurances with our 18th place in the premier league," Frank said.

"I wouldn't seek reassurances," said the man.

My job is to focus on the job in hand, day to day, game to game. I'm not looking for assurances.

I work for a great club and I will keep doing it.

  • Frank Lampard or the board - who is to blame for Everton woes?

The Toffees travel to Manchester United in the third round of the FA Cup on Friday after losing four of their last five league games.

The current league position is not something that is uppermost in his mind.

He said that the reality is when you are in and around the area.

We will be out of the bottom three if we win the next game. Part of the process.

I know what I have to do in this job. I would like to be a success at this club. If there are any challenges that come along, I will enjoy them.

Every day I come to work to improve myself and the team.

It's an honor for me to work for this club. I do not need reassurances.

'It's a blow'

Speaking at Thursday's news conference before the trip to Old United, Lampard said defender Nathan Patterson will be out for six weeks with a knee injury.

He said that it was a blow and that he did the injury badly.

It's a huge blow. There is a young full-back. He came in and did well for us.

It is time for other people to step up. He's going to be back in six weeks.

He said he would have money to spend on reinforcements in the new year.

He said that both options are on the table.

I won't talk about finances because I can't give you the details.

We want to improve the squad in the new year, but I have to work with the players we have.
