Patience, wingers and width - Frank Lampard confirms plan to solve Everton's creative woe

Overlapping full-backs, a change in mentality and making the most effective use of Everton's wingers are all part of Frank Lampard's plans to help boost his side's creativity.

The Blues have not had a shot on target in 180 minutes and have struggled to create chances, particularly when chasing the game in recent defeats to Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United. Lampard hopes part of the solution will come naturally as Dominic Calvert-Lewin continues his comeback from injury and new signings Neal Maupay and Dwight McNeil further integrate into the setup.

He also believes more work to develop the threat of the likes of Demarai Gray and Anthony Gordon, both in front of goal and in their relationships with the full-backs behind them, will help Everton carry greater menace - adding part of the current issues may be teething problems as he tries to change the side from one focused on counter-attacking to one with a more progressive style.
