EVERTON manager Frank Lampard insists the fans have the right to boo the team off the pitch after yet another Premier League loss.
The Toffees lost 1-0 to Wolves at Goodison Park on Sunday after failing to find an answer to Conor Coady’s winner and losing Jonjoe Kenny to two yellow cards.
The Merseysiders are now only above the relegation zone on goal difference as they have the exact same amount of points as 18th-placed Watford.
Frustrations reached boiling point in the stands and the supporters jeered the players as they exited the pitch but Lampard believes they have every right to express that sentiment.
Everton suffered their fifth defeat in six Premier League matches and continue their battle to avoid the drop.
Lampard said: “I’ve played for 20 years and I have seen plenty of reactions from crowds.
“I can’t stand there and say ‘Thanks very much for helping us play so well against Brentford and Leeds and Manchester City’ – and deserve more in that game – and not expect that the fans that want the team to do well, want the team to stay up and get wins, will not have reactions.
“I don’t put an emphasis on Goodison Park, I want to get points everywhere.
“It wasn’t more worrying as Tottenham. Tottenham wasn’t a good performance. Today in the first half we were the stronger team.
“The goal changed the whole feeling of the game and in the stadium, that is understandable the position the club is in. That’s been coming a long time.
“We have 12 games to go now so we can’t get stuck in the rut of looking at this game alone.
“We lost against a good team in a tight match with 10 men for the last period when you really want to push.”
