Frank Lampard hailed Everton's mentality in their defeat at West Ham - a week after he slammed his players for the same thing.
The Toffees were undone in east London as the Hammers secured a 2-1 win which keeps the Merseyside outfit teetering above the relegation zone. Lampard is trying to retain the club's top flight status having been hired earlier this year, but he inherited a side severely lacking in confidence.
Everton were dumped out of the FA Cup last week and Lampard was less than impressed with their application - questioning whether they were up for the challenge after their loss at Crystal Palace. He said: “You’re playing at the cut-throat end of football; this is the FA Cup quarter-finals. If you haven’t got the confidence to play, you can flip it and say: ‘Have you got the b******* to play?’ Apologies but that’s the football term."
