Frank Lampard insists he still has “absolute confidence” in his ability as a manager after his future at Everton was plunged into doubt following a damaging defeat against West Ham.
Everton slipped to a 2-0 loss in east London as Jarrod Bowen scored twice in seven first-half minutes. Lampard’s side are 19th in the Premier League and have now gone 10 matches without a win in all competitions, scoring six and conceding 22 in that period.
Lampard has won just nine of his 38 games in charge of Everton and their 15 points from 20 matches is the fewest they have mustered in the club’s history. Everton chairman Bill Kenwright and owner Farhad Moshiri were in attendance at the London Stadium on Saturday and both refused to back Lampard, but the 44-year-old remains focused on the job at hand.
