LONDON (Reuters) - Everton manager Frank Lampard is confident he can turn around the fortunes of the ailing Merseyside club following a sixth defeat in their last seven Premier League games at West Ham on Saturday.
A first-half brace from Jarrod Bowen was enough to sink the toothless Toffees, who’s 15 points from their first 20 league games is the worst return at this stage of the season in their history and leaves them in the relegation zone.
"Those things is not my choice, it is my job to work, focus and keep my head down," Lampard told SkySports."I have confidence in how I want to coach. There's difficult conditions that I am aware of. Lampard felt his side deserved more from Saturday's loss, even if they only managed two shots on target.
Everton are next in action at home to league leaders Arsenal on Feb. 4, followed by a Merseyside Derby at Anfield. Lampard has vowed to fight on.
