Saint Domingo
Player Valuation: £80m
We all know the narrative around poor recruitment, Koeman failing to inspire his players, poor tactical decisions, the indecision over the manager position, and the departures of key players. Whilst the footballing community have reacted with joy on what seemed to be the carcass of Everton, it’s barely been mentioned how we have suffered with injuries. God forbid if Sadio Mane or Harry Kane are injured then Liverpool and Spurs basically get a free pass and excuse for ever poor performance that follows.
We have Bolasie, Coleman, Barkley, McCarthy and Funes Mori out with long term injuries. Regardless of how you rate them they are 5 first team players all in their peak years unavailable to us.
How would any side in this league fare with a similar ordeal? Mane Clyne Coutinho Henderson and Lovren all missing for the whole season. Eriksen Alli Wanyama Trippier and Alderweireld all out? Mkhitaryan Pogba Matic Valencia Bailly?
I know we love to be super critical of Everton and not often ones to make excuses for our poor fortune unlike others, but there has been a bit of a perfect storm here. A horrific injury list allied to a horrific fixture list with the top 5 and some tough aways.
Would Koeman still be in a job if he has a fully fit squad and a balanced fixture list?
