After some claimed to have seen indications of preseason dissatisfaction, Frank Lampard has put an end to rumours around a former Hearts and Everton striker.
After serving as manager of Derby County, Chelsea, and Everton—where he collaborated with Ellis Simms—the former midfielder is currently the manager of Coventry City.
A graduate of the Toffees youth, he scored seven goals in 21 appearances during his loan stay at Tynecastle before joining Sunderland. He joined Coventry City after playing for Everton for 12 games.
Following their hesitancy to celebrate against St Pauli, some had assumed that the former Jambos and Everton player was lacking in passion. Lampard, who has previously collaborated with him, has been eager to dispel any such ideas.

Simms further defied his doubters by scoring the game-winning goal in a 1-0 Carabao Cup victory over Luton Town.
Lampard was pleased with Simms' performance, despite his disappointment at not scoring more goals.

It's understandable that he's frustrated not to have scored a hat-trick. That is great for him, and I would much rather that than see the game end without those opportunities.
Lawrence Shankland, who is currently on the Hearts forward line, is the Jambos' primary lucky charm. Along with the Scotland, including James Wilson, Pierre Landry Kabore, Elton Kabangu, and Claudio Braga, who can all play through the middle.
