The head coach of "Everton" Frank Lampard commented on the defeat of his team in the match of the 12th round of the Premier League against "Newcastle".
Frank Lampard, Getty Images— I understand why we have such bad statistics because we don't play decisively enough in the opponent's penalty area. In terms of the overall rivalry, the stats were okay. It was an even match, Newcastle are well aware of that. I note that the "magpies" are ahead of us in their development. It was a match between two equal teams. In the penalty area, we were not focused enough on the goal. Nevertheless, I am very happy with some moments of the match.
Newcastle are a very physical team, they are quick on the counter-attack, so they will always cause problems. I don't think they gave us a huge amount of trouble. How many times did we play through their midfield with good ball control, but we failed to create any serious chances in the penalty area. This is why the statistics record such low rates of our shots on goal. We should have had a lot more chances than we did. That's the only thing I think about the game, Frank Lampard said.
Let's add that after 12 rounds, Everton is in 15th place with 10 points to their credit.
