Frank Lampard should not be silenced by 'confusing' FA Everton charge

Everton fans were no doubt not surprised in the slightest when the news came on Wednesday that Frank Lampard had been charged for the post-match comments he made after the Merseyside derby with Liverpool.

Looking back at what the Everton boss said about the penalty decision that didn't go the way of Anthony Gordon at Anfield, at the time there was an expectation that the FA would scrutinise it at the very least. Of course, as many pointed out, certain other managers have not faced the same scrutiny for similar quotes, but that's getting off track.

Look at the responses from many Blues to the news of Lampard's charge, though, and you'll see a fair amount of confusion. Mainly, because those fans believe their manager was only speaking the truth.
