Frank Lampard lost his first Premier League game with Chelsea 4-0 against Manchester United and he repeated this unwanted achievement in his debut league fixture for Everton against Newcastle.
A Mason Holgate own goal coupled with strikes from Ryan Fraser and Kieran Trippier respectively cancelled out a Jamaal Lascelles own goal that put the Merseysiders ahead briefly at St. James' Park against Newcastle.
It's a loss, despite it being the first as Everton manager, that keeps the Toffees within three points of the relegation zone with a game in hand on the victors from Tuesday night.
Most fans won't blame Lampard himself for the state that the current 16th placed team find themselves in, with Rafa Benitez the main culprit in that sense, but supporters can already gauge just how up against it the ex-Derby and Chelsea boss is with steering the ship back to safety after a rocky period.
"You've got to give Newcastle credit, they have come out firing, the crowd were lively and they were very effective," Lampard said via the Liverpool Echo after the loss on Tuesday.
"(Allen) Saint-Maximin on a night like this evening is pretty unplayable at any level the way he plays.
"I am very aware of the situation. There is no magic wand in a week. That's a bit of a process. I'm not asking for time and time and time because I know we need results. This is the reality of where we are at so it's not surprised me in a way because this is the Premier League.
"Some circumstances were against us but some things we have to reflect upon ask: 'Could we do better?
"I'm not surprised in that. I've come to a situation where we have to get better in a lot of things, so to come here and lose a game is disappointing but we mustn't sink into an idea where feelings of confidence go down. We have to take the night on the chin and move forward.
"The goals are preventable because mistakes lead to goals. That's disappointing and something you want to address."
The word mistakes relates heavily to what Chelsea fans experienced in their first league outing under Lampard's guidance. Kurt Zouma amongst others made a catalogue of errors at Old Trafford as a ruthless Man United side under now former boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer trounced the Blues on this occasion.
But it was one player in particular that the west London fanbase pinpointed as a main problem in that suffering Everton side and that was Jordan Pickford.
The ease and which the Toon found the back of the net drew comparisons to how Kepa Arrizabalaga fared in his first nightmare season under the Englishmen.
Chelsea's club record signing conceded a whopping 58 goals in all competitions in Lampard's debut season whilst Everton's No.1 is currently on 36 already, so there's still time for the Three Lions international to match a similar number as the Spaniard did.
Therefore, it's no surprise that many Blues fans on social media made this exact point when they analysed what went wrong for Everton in their 21st league game this term.
Here's the best of the reaction on social media.
@CFCDaily delivered his eight word verdict: 'Lampard’s got his work cut out with Pickford.'
@JF5Era made the exact comparison: 'It's his awful tactics. It'll be like Kepa 19/20 all over again.'
@CarefreeAdz reckons: 'He needs a commanding gk… wouldn’t be surprised if he goes for pope in the summer.'
@CfcSheikh wanted to also note: 'And with the rest of this defence as well.'

@CFCZipp made a similar point: 'That defence is awful.'
Finally, @CFC_REC found the solution to this potential pitfall: 'We’ll give him Marcus Bettinelli on loan.'
