Andy Gray has admitted he would consider walking away from Everton if he found himself in Frank Lampard's current position.
The Blues' season is quickly spiralling out of control after a prolonged poor run of results, which was extended by Southampton on Saturday after they fought back from a goal down to claim a vital victory in their bid to beat the drop.
Everton, meanwhile, remain in search of a performance to breathe new life into their survival bid as the pressure continues to mount on Frank Lampard. The Blues' boss has struck a defiant tone in recent weeks when quizzed on his future, but the questions over his position will be going nowhere after yet another setback in the season.

Of the view that the Blues' boss may well be out of options at Everton, Gray told beIN SPORTS: "I don't know where they go and I don't know where Frank goes from here." Continuing the conversation, Richards Keys asked his co-host if he would resign if he was in Lampard's shoes and received the following response from Gray.
"If I'd been there a year, and he has, had two transfer windows, shaped the team the way I wanted and I haven't moved them forward, if anything we've gone backwards, I would seriously be thinking 'Maybe this is for someone else'.
"It can be done, of course it can be done," he added when comparing how the likes of Nottingham Forest and Wolves have pulled themselves away from the bottom three. "I thought two weeks ago when they lost at home to Wolves, 'that's a big one'."
Shifting the attention away from Lampard to the top of the chain at Everton, Keys questioned what Farhad Moshiri's motives were when deciding to become the majority owner of the Blues back in 2016.
"Farhad Moshiri has been talking again this week and I would just like to know of Moshiri: Why did you get involved? You're not an Evertonian and nor was Alisher Usmanov, whose money it really is. He quit the fringes of influence at Arsenal to go to Everton - why? Why? What was your motivation?
"To turn around this week and say these fans who grew up with blue blood, and if you cut them they bleed blue, 'It's your fault I've been sacking a series of managers' Are you for real? It is his fault for appointing the wrong people. It's a scandal."
