Large sections of the Chelsea fanbase have reacted to Frank Lampard being sacked by Everton. The Toffees are winless in eight Premier League games this season and sit second from bottom in the relegation zone.
According to a number of publications, the board took the unanimous decision to relieve the former Blues boss of his duties at Goodison Park. Lampard averaged just one point per game as Everton head coach, winning 12, drawing eight and losing 24.
The Merseyside club showed signs of great promise under the 44-year-old's stewardship; a six-game unbeaten streak which included a goalless draw with Liverpool; a pair of 1-0 wins over Chelsea and Manchester United inside a couple of weeks; and a bravely fought 1-1 draw against reigning champions Manchester City.
