Frank Lampard has urged his Everton squad not to give those outside the club the panic they desire in these final stages of the season as the relegation battle intensifies.
The Blues find themselves into the bottom three heading into a crucial last six matches of the Premier League campaign. Burnley and Leeds United are two and five points ahead respectively, although both have played one more game than Lampard's men.
The manager knows the talk that is taking place around his side's form and their position in the table, and says that should be expected for players at a club of this calibre. However, he wants them to keep the positive attitude going as much as they possibly can with their work behind-closed-doors.
