Everton sacking Frank Lampard at this stage of the season would be pointless, according to Daily Star journalist Paul Brown.

Lampard has only been in the managerial hotseat at Goodison Park for a little over two months, but his position is already coming under scrutiny after an underwhelming start.

Heading into the final run-in, Everton find themselves just three points above the relegation zone, and they have a huge clash with fellow strugglers Burnley on Wednesday.
