History doesn't keep you safe from relegation, and right now Everton's 68-year run in English football's top flight counts for nothing.
Tradition, pedigree and huge fan bases didn't save Newcastle or Aston Villa from the drop in recent seasons. And I'm afraid Everton are not immune to suffering the same fate.
I like Frank Lampard, I have endless respect for his achievements as a player and, on paper, his squad should be good enough to stay up.
