Former Everton striker Victor Anichebe has called for the sacking of manager Frank Lampard.
Megasportsarena.com reports that Anichebe posted a number of messages on his Instagram story during the match with Burnley which they lost, starting with his frustrations when Salomon Rondon only came off the bench in the 87th minute.
He wrote: “Too late… should’ve brought him on 10 mins ago it was obvious… DCL (Dominic Calvert-Lewin) has been poor.
“The players aren’t good enough but neither is Frank. As much as I love him as a player and he looks a top guy.
“Everton will 100 per cent go down if a change isn’t made.”
Along with a picture of Sam Allardyce, Anichebe wrote: “I said it weeks ago… y’all laughed. Some said rather go down with dignity. Okkkkk.”
A little while later in his final post on Wednesday night, he wrote: “Apologies if I don’t respond tonight, I just can’t be bothered. So… The players are responsible first and foremost. But Everton’s board is absolutely horrendous.
“The money they’ve wasted, the sackings of influential staff like (Dan Donachie), not letting Marcel Brands actually do his job, bringing in Rafa (Benitez), creating a complete disconnect with fans and club.
“Next – appointing Lampard (who is a good coach) but appointing him when you know you’re in a relegation battle with a tough run in… was absurd… him getting Alli who is a luxury player… in a relegation fight… baffling.
“If something doesn’t happen tonight they are 100 per cent going down. At the moment it’s 60 per cent. Keep the faith.”
