Former Everton captain Peter Reid rates this week's clash with Burnley the biggest for the club in years.
Reid wrote for the Daily Mail: "Burnley away is now one of the biggest games Everton have had in 24 years - the last time they stared relegation in the face - and these players have got to understand what they are fighting for.
"They've got to forget pressure, they've got to roll up their sleeves and fight like everything depends on it. They must do justice to the shirt, to the badge and to those fantastic supporters. That should be a pre-requisite for every game not just Wednesday.
"It's seven defeats in 11 games for Lampard and questions are already being asked whether the players are responding to him and his staff. That's just ridiculous. Have they had a rocket from him? I'm sure they have, and I'm sure they had it from previous managers too.
"So, if you're an Everton player looking at yourself today, you must ask first is it really down to the manager or can you not do better? Come on lads!
"Show some bloody fight. Realise who you are playing for and what this club is. You can't legislate for some of the performances."
