this still bothers me even when it's not at Everton, it was fun to laugh at Chelsea and Mourhino when the players "downed tools" but it really is a bit shameful if you think about it. Obviously it's part of the managers job to get them going but the players aren't robots, they're professionals who should take pride in their job and still put effort in regardless of who the manager is. Absolutely no accountability on players anymoreLook at the bounce Valencia have had since Neville left.
Don't like the manager, don't perform.
Best thing for all is he either leaves tonight tomorrow or the players are told he's off in summer.
We can win the cup with or without this manager.
When was Kone 30?....When was Kone ever as good as average??
"And I would have got away with it too had it not been for those pesky kids..."He really isn't

He was caught using fake reviews to big up his down market productions
True, and he never will - it's more Moshiri's baby now anyway.Yeah but he didn't appoint Walter Smith so he's never sacked any of the managers he's appointed!
In other words, your on the fence.
Think it goes to FA Cup Runner-Up?
lol lol lol
I am sure the billionaire Moshiri will be most grateful for your counsel in matters fiduciary.
He could do worse than take you on as his vizier, Damon![]()
You've lost me a bit there mate. Basically...Think that's only top 3 and City though. The 5th place can only come from the EL and not the CL winners.
Pretty sure FA cup runner ups no longer get European qualification no matter what. Also in answer to @Khalekan's question I'm pretty sure 8th wouldn't get a EL slot
...but possibly the most hilarious?This has to be one of the most shockingly wrong posts I've ever read on this forum.
Baines is no longer that good and Coleman is a bit meh at attacking these days, McCarths crap, front four are inconsistent performance wiseBut are they really? Let's analyze our strongest starting 11:
Robles- OK there's room for improvement but a decent/average keeper
Baines- One of the best full backs in the world
Jags/Stones- England internationals, one of them touted to be the best English defender since Ferdinand
Coleman- A good right back, best in the prem attacking wise
Barry- seasoned veteran who still dictates the midfield
McCarthy- a bit over rated in my opinion but a decent midfielder
Barkley- touted to be one of the best midfielders since Gazza- really a unique player
Mirallas- brilliant player, ruined by Martinez
Rom- wanted by Bayern, Juve
Del- great player, seems to have gotten lazy and doesn't give a crap anymore
That to me is a top 5 squad on paper. That's not including Lennon, Besic, Mori and the youth coming up.
This has to be one of the most shockingly wrong posts I've ever read on this forum.
We won't really 'lose' a EL spot, it's more a case of one of them is upgraded to a CL spot. We will have 7 teams in European competitions next season no matter what the permutations. Either 4 in CL and 3 in EL, or 5 in CL and 2 in ELYou are right about the Cup runner up not getting in.
So if you are right about 8th not getting in, do we lose a place in the EL next year if the scenario I outlined materialises?
