I'm not sure what people see in either. They are pretty anonymous every time they've played.

I would have Lennon, Sigurdsson, Bolasie and Rooney over them all day every day.

adversus u are a 4 time banned slimeball for speaking fluent bozo. u are banned from other everton message boards and treated as figure of ridicule for the same thing. at some point u got to take stock and think i will stop being a bozo. as u clearly cannot do that then i will CRUSH u again punk.

If you believe that then there shouldn't be any worry about unbeaten Sam then.

But not sure on here but pretty much every fan I knew wanted him gone long before he left us, so that should sum him up here.

Don't rate Lennon at all, think he's just at a point where he can fill a spot now, doesn't really create much. He just sprints from box to box doing hardly anything. Love the other three but with Bolasie just coming back from a really bad injury I'd like to see some explosive players in there, ones that can take a player on and get into the box

Not sure either Lookman or Vlasic can do that. At least with Lennon you know he will give a consistent 6.5/10 to 7/10. Change isn't necessarily for the better and besides now Bolasie is back and we will soon be out of the cups a loan for both would probably suit all parties.

Some of you are obsessed with this adversus character. If he is reading this he would be laughing his ass of at how pathetic you are.
 

I can understand the frustration as that was utter garbage to watch yet again. However, a couple of months ago it’s a game that we’d have likely lost.

As for Sam, he needs to start showing that he’s able to adapt. It’s all well and good adopting those tactics away at City, Utd, Liverpool etc. But West Brom?! If he thinks the fans will tolerate this long term he’s very much mistaken.

Still, good start from him and he’s stopped the rot. Needs to be adaptable though if he plans on staying past the end of the season.
 
It's no fun to watch but I'll still settle for where we are and cut Sam a lot of slack. We can certainly set out to do better offensively and pose a threat but on that front I don't think things will significantly improve either without more investment.

For me it's more of a question of how long we play like this whilst inching towards safety with every point gained. Let's be honest, we are not going down, and that is great to say with clear conviction and kudos to Sam for it.

Give him the January window, and by the end of next month lets see where we are then. After that, I would expect him to have the freedom to experiment a little more and be a bit more expansive also. He has been forthright about the need for clean sheets but equally so about the quality of football or lack of it.

He has started better than anyone could have hoped for a month ago and is facing a rush of games and dealing with injuries as well as inheriting a car crash in terms of morale and organisation. Let's not forget that. If he is genuine about wanting the team to grow under him then he'll take on board what we can all see. Nobody would object to passing, flowing football and plenty of goals but he has been here a month and delivered on what was known he would prioritise and done that big style. We are very hard to beat, organised, and have players playing together in a coherent albeit ultra-conservative and yes, very dull and boring manner.

I expect far better from Everton on any given day but let's not lose sight of where we were coming from a few short weeks ago. Let's cement our recovery with a few more wins and points and from then on I fully expect Sam to implement a style of play that is far more ambitious and pleasing on the eye whilst maintaining results.

If he cannot or will not do that when we pass 40 points, then he won't have my support. But for now, he has justified it in spades.
