Everton manager Frank Lampard has echoed Neville Southall’s sentiments that his team need to get nasty in their relegation dog fight while lifting the lid on the mood in the dressing room. Southall, who is the most-decorated player in the Blues’ history while also holding the club’s appearance record, claimed that the current side were too nice in an interview with Sky Sports.
Lampard admitted that the former Wales international – widely considered to be the best goalkeeper in the world at the peak of his powers – had a point with his remarks and when asked if there needs to be more nastiness in the Everton team, said: “We certainly do need that and I think all teams need that.
“Neville Southall is an absolute legend who played in an incredible team that I just about remember as a young lad but we’re working towards becoming a better team with better results and maybe a better mentality and better performances.
