Frank Lampard says he has "no fear" about what lies ahead after Everton's relegation troubles deepened with a 5-0 hammering at Tottenham.
The Toffees are one point above the relegation zone after a seventh defeat in eight Premier League games.
They have 22 points from 25 games - Everton's lowest total at this stage of a top-flight season in their history.
"I have no problems with the challenge," added Lampard after his heaviest defeat as a manager.
Monday's thrashing was Everton's ninth defeat in 13 league games away from home this season.
Their 13 remaining games include fixtures against teams chasing European places and the title, including West Ham (away), Manchester United (home), Liverpool (away), Chelsea (home) and Arsenal (away).
