Frank Lampard believes 'being there' for his players is an important part of his role as Everton manager.
The Blues boss spoke about the pressures of the modern game and the support he feels it is vital to provide to his squad as he offered insight into the behind-the-scenes work taking place amid speculation surrounding Anthony Gordon's future. The 21-year-old scored his first goal of the season against Brentford, displaying anticipation and composure as he latched on to a Conor Coady pass and finished beyond David Raya.
It was part of an all-action display put together as the world of football offers intense scrutiny of Chelsea's pursuit of the starlet, with Everton already having rejected a £45m bid from the London club. Lampard said he will be there 'no matter what' for Gordon while he is at Goodison Park.
