I think he's a pretty average manager but he's not going anywhere anytime soon so can't really be arsed to cryass about him too much. I have a feeling we'd bottle it away to big teams regardless of who is in charge, it's just Everton init.

It's going to be difficult not to bottle it when the manager has no faith in the squad. Setting us up to hope for a draw obviously not worried about playing football or going for it

That's kind of the thing too, it's HIS squad. We had 2 players today that played against Chelsea in the same fixture last year. Literally everyone, bar Jags and Baines, is his. If he doesn't have faith in the squad, that's down to HIS targets.
 
What baffles me is we do not pay anything like his saints team, which is what I had hoped for. He has not gone for width or real wing backs. Also, as yet no target man...what is his plan?
 

Unbelieveable. What a bunch of box room dwelling, FIFA playing beauts.

So predictable. No, we weren't great (dunno what the second half was like, turned it off after the second goal) but there's no point playing "I'm the best fan because I want the best for my team even if we've only played 2 games." Doesn't work for anyone.
 
I like this manager but the team selection today was dumb. I don't understand why he played 3 at the back, we don't have the energetic full backs that can play those positions and we don't have centre backs with the confidence to squeeze up the pitch and pen the opposition back like Chelsea and Tottenham do, therefore we start at an immediate disadvantage.

Why couldn't he have gone with 4-3-3 with Davies, Gana and Siggy/Besic (if we wanted to be more defensive), with Sandro, DCL and Rooney upfront? Even if we got beat by having a go it would be preferably to the 85 minutes of utter snooze we served up today.
