1966efc

Player Valuation: £20m
Appreciate that there are a couple of guys on here who outrank me in terms of years. But for the sake of sanity I have to say this: we are where we are because we are not remotely good enough to be better paced.

Happy to go through a position by position comparison. Equally happy to defend my view that it is a result of a succession of rubbish boards.

But for the love of God stop saying that X is the best in the P L / Europe / Milky Way.
These players are Goddamed ordinary.
 

tonight was the first time ever that I simply just gave up on everton, and im 24, Its not actually like I've seen us be boss and win titles and European success....feel sorry for anyone that seen the 80's teams in comparison

never any need to feel sorry for those of us that witnessed those teams in the 80's, if it hadn't been for those teams then a great many wouldn't have carried on going through the dross that followed.

We've some talent in our squad mate, not world beaters like, but we're not making the best use of it.
They don't have to be the very best to create a very good team, or even a great team, they just need to work together and complement each other

Born in '61, seem some ace teams with good players and some ordinary teams with the odd ace player. It's a bit of a cliche, but it's a team game.
 
Gk - Robles - Hes alright
RB - Coleman - Best RB in the league
LB - Baines - Best LB in the league
CB - Stones - Best CB in world football
CB - Jags - Hes alright
DM - Besic - Best DM in world football
DM - McCarthy - Best DM in the league
W - Mirallas - Hes alright, best Winger in the league 1 game in 6
W - I refuse to name another winger
AM - Barkley - Best AM in the league
ST - Lukaku - Best ST in world football

The players arent the problem, the tactics and formation are.

For working together and complementing each other, just watch Barca last night. Unbelievably talented players putting a whist in. It's why I am losing patience with Barkeley. He wouldn't get near heir squad at the moment
 
Born in 1952 and Blue since 1963 so seen a lot of highs and lows, from Catterick to Catalan. Despite the season he had, I think Mike Walker was a better bet than Martinez. Remember, he built a very good side at Norwich and took them to Munich and beat Bayern.

I didn't become bitter until the European ban that robbed the best side in Europe of at least one European Cup (THE European Cup, when, ironically, it was only contested by champions) and utterly destroyed our potential rise to continued greatness and dominance.

We have been great, and will be again, but to be an Evertonian is to suffer in-between. It makes us what we are - masochists!

Run quick lid before the spelling fairy comes along and takes away your eyes.
