There's no winning for Lampard this time. He'll be damned if he does and if he doesn't, with a loss to West Ham this weekend only plunging his future into further doubts.
It's only been a few weeks since that Demarai Gray's brilliant strike against Manchester City earned Everton a draw with the Premier League champions.
However things have just gone bad to worse for Lampard's team ever since, losing the following three games, including getting knocked out of the FA Cup by Manchester United.
The mood around the team could be best summed up by one fan leaving the 4-1 home loss to Brighton early and getting in an Uber driven by another fan who'd left even earlier.
Things got even worse last weekend for the game against Southampton, with the board warned not to attend the game, due to fears over their safety.
Now they'll face West Ham on Saturday afternoon and you'd have thought the last thing that Lampard would need is another loss to a relegation rival.
However, according to the Telegraph, there's basically no good result for the manager, with a report that David Moyes is likely to be sacked if his side lose to Everton.
Should that happen then he would be favourite for the job at Goodison Park and still has admirers at the club, making it more likely that Lampard would eventually get sacked.
David Moyes' side are on just as few points as Everton and are also at equal risk of dropping to the championship.

Despite his side's current form this season, the fact that he managed to keep Everton up during his first spell at Goodison Park, as well as his first spell with the Hammers, makes Moyes the ideal candidate for the Merseysiders

Everton's problems stretch even further than the pitch, with fans protesting against the owners and the board, following years of no achievements or improvement.
