Methuselah
Player Valuation: £35m
When you lose at home, early season, to a team that has just been promoted from the Championship, then yes, it is time to panic.
I just think the fanbase is exhausted and has little fight left in it, and let's be fair you can fully understand why.There is a crisis at Everton every year because the fans force one to happen. Today was awful, I get the fume at the final whistle, but booing at half time when it’s 0-1... only Everton fans would do that. There is no patience and all that talk about making Goodison into a fortress went right out the window as soon as a bad half of football comes along.
Eventually having expectations turns into having delusions and I think many Blues are reaching that point.
His plan to improve is to be more Everton.
Yep, now its time to panic.

Maybe not picking Siggurdsson and Keane regardless of form would be a start. There needs to be a clear message that it matters how you play and train - we aren’t seeing that at all. Far too many players coast because they know they can.In fairness crap games where things are not working will happen. Players halfarsing it should never happen and it’s the biggest thing about the games so far this season for me. No bloody urgency. It should be apparent even when the team picked isn’t great, the tactics not up to scratch and the subs crap. Wtf are the players at. I’d say all of them bar maybe Mina, Delph and Bernard are not showing the attitude of players that want to achieve something come the end of the season.
So what he is saying rings true with me. A bit more of it would have seen us with a win in at least one more of these games.
However I’d love to know why it’s not there already and what he can do different if he can’t get them motivated from the start of a new season. If we are all honest we will agree he needs to kick every one of them in the balls before kick off against Wednesday. Maybe let our away fans have a go too at half time if they are not playing that game like it’s a cup final.
