Everton midfielder Alex Iwobi has called for supporters to 'stick by' Frank Lampard amid the club's bitterly disappointing start to the current season.
The Blues have secured just three Premier League victories since the return of the top flight in August and were beaten 4-1 by Bournemouth to exit the Carabao Cup at the third round stage at the start of last month, heaping pressure on Lampard's position at the club.
Appointed in January of this year, the ex-Chelsea boss galvanised Goodison Park as Everton avoided relegation courtesy of a dramatic comeback win at the expense of Crystal Palace. Supporters who were present inside the ground for this match hoped there would be no repeat of a relegation fight this term, but the Blues currently sit one place above the drop as the halfway stage of the season approaches.
