Roy Hodgson has given his verdict on Everton’s survival hopes and believes their previous manager Frank Lampard had an impossible task at Goodison Park.
Following his Crystal Palace side’s goalless draw with the Blues at Selhurst Park, Hodgson told the ECHO: “I am very sad to see Everton in the position they’re in at the moment but I think since Sean Dyche’s arrival, the way he’s gone about trying to put things right I feel more confident. I think Frank (Lampard) was dealt a terrible hand to be honest with you.
“I think for Frank... I don’t even think it would be possible with his football philosophy and the way he wants to play to get what Sean Dyche has got out of the players. In my humble view, it was a move that has worked well for the club but I do think the club has got a lot of things to still sort out and I would desperately like them to sort those things out.
