So if we don't win another game the rest of the season, that's ok, because it's the points deductions' fault? Managers get sacked all the time for an extended poor run, no matter that they had a decent run earlier that same season. All the time.
So lads, if its not Dyche and it’s the players, does this mean McNeil and Doucoure are utterly crap
Or are they fine, because they’re the players you like, and it’s on DCL and Beto only??
Massively confused on who is at fault
Care to elaborate

If Dyche gets enough pts to keep us up but pts deduction sends us down then ye, it's a factor he shouldn't have had to contend with.

Chermiti isn't ready imo, Dobbin should've played more in the last three months though. Not really sure the reasons why he isn't getting 20-30 sub cameos.
Edit: In fairness today wasn't actually a bad performance, just a very disappointing way to loss. Reminded me of the Lampard home form in his final few months.
Palace performance was miles worse.

Oh, the board will definitely be the main culprits. My God, what more do they need to do to run us into the Mersey before people will pitchfork them from the premises?

I agree with that the players need to take full responsibility for not taken chance after chance. But I have an issue with him playing both McNeil and Harrison who have been rubbish months. Yes McNeil has personal issues, but do him a favour and take him out the firing line. He definitely needs to drop one of them. But my issue there is he will then play Ashley young probably.

Chris you've only ever contributed to this forum with giving out about absolutely everyone and anything. I don't think I've ever seen a positive comment from you. You absolutely love when Everton are doing terrible and it's why you're back on the forum now

Harrison was left out two games ago. It would just mean Ashley Young returning to the right of midfield. Need to avoid that at all costs.

Who does he replace them with though?
Nope. But he arguably needs to improve our finishing drills in training. Practice Practice Practice.

The thing is you cant really create more chances like today. What other way is going to present you chances right in front of goal that are going to be buried?
We've just got to many players with no cutting edge or instinct in front of goal. If i honestly thought that could be coached on the training ground i'd be all over it in agreement. As much as nobody wants to hear it after a result like today. Some of the players need to take responsiblity. Like 1-0 up. McNeil. less than 6 yards out in the middle of the goal. Bury the fking thing. 2-0.
So lame in front of goal.
One can accept that the position in the table is not entirely the manager's fault without completely excusing inadequate overall performance. Managers have to be evaluated in an ongoing manner. Let's say, hypothetically, that a manager came in and got 35 points in the first half of the season and then 5 in the entire second half. The team stays up with that, but is any club or any group of fans on Earth happy with that manager? Of course not.
What you're essentially saying is that the current, very extensive run of poor form that shows no sign of abating is completely irrelevant, because we got some results earlier in the season.

Exactly this. There are no players.
