However, they have remained inconsistent this season and are currently in the relegation zone.

There growing speculations that Lampard could be sacked should Everton lose to Manchester United in the FA Cup.

Lampard, who believes he has what it takes to manage Everton pointed to the struggles Mikel Arteta encountered during his first two years at Arsenal before they became title challengers, which was possible after spending over £300million on new players.

“Yes, I have what I perceive as improvement in the way we try to take the squad forward,” Lampard told the press on Thursday.

‘‘There’s not a story out there if you look at the most high performing team in the Premier League this year in Arsenal for being top of the league.

“If you look at their journey over the last three years you see how typically a journey can look,” Lampard said, insisting that the journey has never been easy for the gunners.
