Frank Lampard acknowledged he could do with a win as he attempts to make progress with Everton but spoke of his pride at his team's bravery in the defeat at Old Trafford.
The Blues boss credited his team with a battling performance as they fell 3-1 to Manchester United in the FA Cup, arguing they deserved more from the game. While he was pleased with large parts of the performance, however, he accepted it was ultimately results that mattered the most.
Speaking after a thrilling match, he turned to the season in general, including Everton's league struggle, and said: "Do we need a win? Yeah, for sure... The reality for me is clear. We are in a relegation battle, we were in one for the most part of last season and we are in one again. We just have to fight to get out of it and that is just where we are at at this point."
