Oh I didn’t realise the bar we set for him was to score more goals than James Beattie in 2006/07 season. Fair play to him then.
and we're not even halfway through the season Mike!

Very clever Kev I like what you did there but one was good at Everton, the other is just a carthorse
just opened this thread to see what the temperature is, Kev50 seems to be keeping it going on his own.
Here's my thoughts on Benitez
It's nothing to do with his liverpool background, I'd gladly take Rodgers at the moment.
I just don't think he's a great manager.
We did well against Chelsea with a severely depleted squad but it didn't take a gifted tactical genius to figure out how to play that game.
I think Brighton game months ago is the only game where we looked comfortable for 90 mins.
Thats one game in half a season.
I know the squad is a hodge podge of managerial stiles but I also get the feeling that Benitez is pruning any excitement out of the team (yea, gray has done well, but I still cant shake the feeling).
I don't like his excuses and his willingness to throw players under the bus in public.
I don't see him building anything exciting for the future and what worries me the most is that if he can survive this, he'll survive almost anything. There's a chance he could be at Everton till he decides he doesn't want to be. He'll do well enough to keep us mid table.
So Everton will be a defensive, mid-table, boring team for the foreseeable future.
Sorry for the downer of a post but there really isn't much to be excited about.

I can't remember what happened to James Beattie after he left us. Seems a long time ago. Since then we had the great successful signings of Klassen and some galoot from Spain, name already gone.
To be honest that is all conjecture as none of us know what exactly is happening at the club.
The potential damage RB can do could hardly be much worse than what has happened in recent years.
You have to learn to walk before you learn to run.
We have to win games on a regular basis before we worry about the style involved in winning those games.
Oh I think it could you know, but, as you say it's a matter of opinion.
I don't disagree, especially with a squad mad up by what, 6 different managers.
But I don't see him ever playing exciting attacking football built on a sound spine and defense.
I mean, after the derby, or some other defeat, he came out and bragged about how much his players ran around.
We ran around more than anyone and now half our squad is out with muscle injuries!
And who wins games running more, particularly if you're chasing shadows.
Look at the wolves game. Keane and Allan had a go at each other because, they were both running around but neither knew where they were supposed to be.
It's all bluster from a bygone era.
