I am beginning to hate match days. I know that we have a good team when they decide to play but that very often they decide they don’t want to play and concede in the face of mediocrity.
However I always start to believe that today is the day they decide they need a performance to justify their large pay packets and they go out and give of their all for Everton Football Club. That is what I hate, even in the face of overwhelming evidence I still have a blind faith, a blind faith that means I get so disappointed when these players turn up, go through the motions, capitulate and then come out and tell us how we need to stick together and lessons need to be learned.
Lessons do need to be learned, I need to learn that blind faith is no basis for reality and players need to learn that talking about doing your job and doing your job are two completely different things.
