It was always going to be a big ask for Everton to move away from last season, especially without a recognised striker.
Surviving by a skin of their teeth is an understatement. A poor pre-season, defeats out in America - 10 years ago, you could have a heavy defeat in pre-season and it wouldn't be picked up, but now everyone saw the results come in and it put more pressure on Lampard.
