Bobby is guilty of football snobbery.
He looks down his nose at those he regards as "parasites".......i.e. those managers who cut their suit according to their cloth and regard their objectives as being of eminently greater importance than the methods used to achieve them.
That he disdained the "parasites" in the days before Arsenal shows that Bobby regards himself in the Arsene Wenger league of managers rather than the Tony Pulis or Big Sam league.
Without having earned the right to be in that league.
He longs to play like Pep era Barcelona.
You can't do that with our current squad of players.
But that doesn't deter him.
He cannot or will not recognise that it ain't working..
So we are to be treated to the same old same old in every league game now, or so it appears.
Ergo as we are drawn deeper and deeper into the mire, Bobby is increasingly in denial and cannot understand why fifteen passes across the back four which end with the ball back with the goalkeeper is not met with a chorus of "Ole" from the Goodison faithful.
These are dangerous days for Everton.
It is hard to see where the next win is coming from and I for one am not buying into the "we will stay up by default because there are teams way worse than us" theory.
Such complacency is the road to no town.
