It sounds ridiculously harsh to say a new manager with a substantial injury list faces a “must-win” game in his third match in charge, but that is precisely the predicament Frank Lampard and Everton are in. Tuesday’s defeat at Newcastle enabled Lampard to see first hand what Evertonians have known for too long – they have an error-prone team lacking in character. An alarming mix for a relegation fight. Leeds, stirring in their recovery at Aston Villa in midweek, can open up a seven-point gap with victory over a side that have taken a pitiful six points from the last 45 available. Andy Hunter
