Which makes my point that Frank hasn't made them worse
Gray was a player we bought for $2 million. He's literally our best most consistent attacker this season.
Is that on the manager?
Or on the Board?
It's clear as day to me where the problems with our dear club lie
Gordon has got worse since last season.
Tarks and Coady looked good early season - they now look worse.
Gana looks worse than he was.
Iwobi had been much better for most of the season - credit where it's due. I do credit Frank for that: he has been playing him differently and it suits him. Great.
He's also had bad luck with long term injuries to Godfrey, DCL and you could say Mina and Townsend.
All he had to do was be better than Benitez. In some ways it was the easiest act to follow any Everton manager has ever had. Overall, though, we're going backwards - fast - from a very bad starting point.
