Loser Everton players doing what they do best and being losers. I really wish today annoyed me more then it does but I just know we'll never win anything with these wasters, yes sometimes we might go on a bit of a run in the cup but the losers mentality will always shine through in the end and we'll inevitably limp out. I can't get my head around how any so called professional's can genuinely be so gutless on such a consistent basis. It simply has to be that they just don't care because to lack the fire and fight all the time simply isn't the actions of a team that does.
Just praying we make some headway in this transfer window or feb-may is gonna be like pergatory on here. ...
Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg

Remind me again what we got for going out in two semi finals last year? Absolutely nothing. Clubs don't progress by doing well in domestic cups alone every year.
Koeman's job this season was to get us into the top seven and solidify a team that had lost it way. Everything else was secondary. It's no secret to everyone that many players should and will leave, and new ones will come in. The process in between this transition won't be pretty, and its proving to be tough. But the only positive coming from these toothless performances is that Koeman becomes more and more aware the squad needs rejuvenating and I'm glad he's starting to take it to the board as well as the team. Maybe they will listen because the players evidently aren't.

Dave how many of the current squad that was left by Martinez are good enough to wear the blue jersey?

Ha Ha. It has to said. It was a woeful run. But i reiterate, support for RM made sense given we knew what he could do under other circumstances and last season we were a couple of wins away from silver ware.

The squad isn't anywhere near good enough. That is Martinez's squad bar a handful of additions. Of course he has something to do with it.

Ronny there giving us a clean run at the league.
Utter genius Ronny lad.

Right, but it helps, especially if you're 9 points off the top 6 in January and have effectively noting to play for. Cup runs keep fans enthusiastic, optimistic. That isn't nothing

Perhaps its just Koeman's general dourness too, but even in the wake of an improved run of results in the league recently, to me his demeanour is not of somebody who is assured they have the resources to begin to spend big now and in the summer, and that in seven months time the starting Everton XI will be radically different.
His post-match comments today and more recently, for me, all seem to be a way of saying "It's over to you, Farhad" on transfers. Whether he lacks confidence in our ability to execute transfers because of last summer, or feels that enough money isn't there, we cannot know.
In one sense, I don't think there would ever have been the coziness between Koeman and the board that existed under previous managers, which is good for us. Maybe not in this window, but certainly over the summer, if he feels he was misled on the budget, I think he'll not be slow in saying so.
Of course, even with his brand of honesty he is not going to come out and suggest it will be all guns blazing for transfers, but I have to admit, and perhaps it's my general sense of paranoia and suspicion concerning Everton that's clouding my judgement here, but even aside from today's disappointment and beyond, I am becoming uneasy/unsure that "big" money will be spent.

RK and SW are supposed to both sign off on a player. RK is clearly the more forceful personality but it appears SW got his way with Gana and Lookman.
Not certain about the others but I suspect Bolasie was mainly RK's as would be Morgan and Depay. If we spend whatever funds there are on the likes of Depay the cash is going in the drain.
I'd prefer to see SW with the final say so that a currently poorly performing manager can prove his metal by developing more players like Lookman.
