We’re joining you in that relegation battle. At least it’s something to play for. How f****** dismal is it?
I’m mighty close! I don’t want him to be sacked but I can’t see how he can carry on after today. Fed up of waiting for the next game thinking it must get better. It’s not acceptable, you’d think after the Arsenal game they’d come out all guns blazing. Fed up of hearing senior players talk up after the game then produce the same **** in the next one.
Best advice I could give at the moment is don’t hope for the better. Expect the worst and you can’t be disappointed that way. In fact don’t follow that, because I still find myself getting disappointed.
In my WhatsApp group: Sometimes you just need the right manager to come in and change the whole mood. For Everton that man was Ange Postecoglou. Ffs
“We've got a European game on Thursday, we obviously can't use Djed or Reguilon in that, so we're in this situation”. And whose fault is that you thick div?! You don’t even use Reguilon anyway
But for all the stick levy gets (which I often don’t agree with), Ange is one manager where he seems to have done what fans always demand he does: -Give him funds -let him choose the players he wants Really don’t think levy could have done much more to support him. Ange signed off on every single signing this summer so although some people may not think it was a great window, Ange was clearly happy with it and is happy that they are currently still trying to support him with new players.
I don’t think we did bad business in the summer. It’s the business we didn’t do, and haven’t done this January yet, that’s the issue.
For me it was painstakingly obvious it was a terrible window in the summer. I was very surprised at how some on here were giving it around a 7 or even 8 out of 10. The players we signed aren’t bad at all but it’s more about what we didn’t do that was. We signed largely a bunch of kids and a decent senior player despite only scraping 5th last season and going into the new season with European football. Not sure what anyone, whether it be Levy, Lange, Ange or a mix of all three thought was going to happen. If I - a 35 year old lump - could see we were going to struggle, why the hell couldn't they? The fact there’s been no urgency to rectify it this January too just stinks on their part.
The trouble is a lot of those "senior players" are pretty weak, spineless and far too quiet on the pitch. No real leaders out there I'm afraid...
We signed decent players. Albeit youngsters, but decent ones. If Ange signed those, then fair play to him because there’s been some excellent additions. But we also had to spend £65m on another striker because the last one that we signed came with a track record of about 5 goals a season, and turned out to be exactly what we thought. - not only a non goal scorer, but constantly injured just to top it off. we failed to bring in more senior players to compliment the youngsters, and failed to move players on that had been lurking around for ages.
Despite what we all witnessed today, and my own comments earlier, I still don't see Levy sacking Ange this week, the 2, 2nd half goals have glossed over the truly appalling first half and Ange was staunch in his defence of the efforts of the club to bring in new players. And there are reports that Levy is aware of the perception amongst supporters that we can't keep sacking managers and have to give a manager more time to make his mark it's just a shame that he is pinning is hopes on a coach who seems hopefully out of his depth. 2 more defeats in Germany and at home to Leicester may push him over the edge, but right now I think he remains safe.
