(Reuters) - Everton manager Frank Lampard said he has not sought any guarantees from the club about his future after the team slid into the Premier League relegation zone following a chastening 4-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion.
Everton held champions Manchester City to a 1-1 away draw on Saturday but were then booed off the pitch by supporters after the defeat to Brighton on Tuesday, their fourth loss in six league matches."I've never and would never seek reassurances. I come to work to try and improve a little bit every day, myself, the team, the squad - everything," Lampard told reporters on Thursday.
They have only managed to win three of their 18 league games this season, however, and Lampard is the bookmakers' favourite to be the next Premier League manager to lose his job. "I went home that night, had a glass of wine and this is where the work begins and it's going to be a tough journey. I was very aware of what I came into with this job, I want to be a success at this club, and whatever challenges that come I'll take them head on."
