Everton supporters have made their feelings clear on the source of the club's struggles this season - and exonerated manager Frank Lampard from the majority of the blame.
Lampard, who guided the Blues to safety last season, is facing up to another relegation battle with the club after dropping into the Premier League's bottom three, having suffered the ignominy of 4-1 home defeat to Brighton on Tuesday.
A live ECHO poll, which has had 1,119 votes to date, asked three key questions about the current crisis at Goodison Park and how much Lampard is to blame.

The former Chelsea boss appears to retain a reasonable level of support in the Everton fanbase with 72% of respondents sympathetic towards Lampard despite a poor run of form and results.
Equally, 78.2% of fans think that if the club sacked Lampard as manager it would not really change anything on the pitch, with 21.8% taking the opposite view.
Fans shouted 'sack the board' during Everton's humiliating loss to Brighton and that view is backed up by our poll where 61.9% of respondents identifying those in charge at the top as the biggest issue currently, with the players shouldering 30.1% while Lampard and his coaching staff poll just 7.9%.
Our poll on Lampard is still open below for Everton fans to fill in, or if you want give your opinion on anything else related to the club's current situation let us know in the comments section.
