Still, it would be foolish to ignore such a devastating defeat and not think it means anything.<\/p>\n<p>Frank Lampard appears to agree with this sentiment, given the concerns he expressed to <a href=\"https:\/\/theathletic.com\/news\/lampard-everton-relegation-minnesota-united\/7QulkbQo27Yc\/?source=twitteruk\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Athletic<\/a> surrounding another potential relegation battle:<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cIf we don\u2019t want to be in that situation again, they have to be better and I have to be better. As a club, it (the Minnesota game) reinforced the situation in terms of what we need to do with the squad, because it has to be stronger than what we saw tonight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/06\/23\/everton-harry-winks-interest-tottenham-hotspur\/\" target=\"_self\">Everton Interested in Making \u2018Perfect Midfielder\u2019 Once Compared to Xavi and Iniesta First Summer Signing<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Everton smashed by MLS side as Frank Lampard&#39;s struggles look set to continue \ud83d\ude33 <\/p>\n<p>Story\ud83d\udc49 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/C1Jl5UQNNa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/C1Jl5UQNNa<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xHUkZ75C7H\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/xHUkZ75C7H<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Sporting News AU Football (@SNAUFootball) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SNAUFootball\/status\/1549949878822125568?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">July 21, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Frank Lampard&#8217;s Legacy<\/h3>\n<p>Frank Lampard&#8217;s relatively young managerial career started at Derby County in 2018. He stayed for a single respectable season, suffering a devastating play-off defeat to <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/07\/06\/northern-ireland-international-joins-aston-villa\/\" target=\"_self\">Aston Villa<\/a> and notably knocking <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/07\/21\/frenkie-de-jong-plan-b\/\" target=\"_self\">Manchester United<\/a> out of the Carabao Cup.<\/p>\n<p>This was followed by a seemingly inevitable return to Chelsea, where he had quite an underwhelming two-season tenure. Lampard became Everton&#8217;s new boss in 2022, after a short managerial hiatus. He did well to help save The Toffees from relegation. However, it&#8217;s understandable that he doesn&#8217;t want to be in such a pressing situation again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/01\/31\/real-madrid-striker-on-frank-lampards-everton-radar\/\" target=\"_self\">Real Madrid Striker on Frank Lampard\u2019s Everton Radar<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everton manager Frank Lampard warns that his club might face another relegation battle next season, according to Jacob Whitehead of The Athletic.
