Arrogance

[johnnydawg68]

It's a word Bobby loves, and so do I. Saturday we saw what he means. We play our game. We worry about our performance. Let the opponent deal with us, not the other way around.

Naismith had some telling comments in his interview last week. We train to work on our stuff, we don't gameplan to figure out how to react to the opponent.

For all of Moyes' great attributes...and there were many I don't care what anyone says...he never really was able to shed the image of Everton as the underdog because he never really believed anything else. To him we were the underdog fighting against the odds. That was fine for a long time, but RM has blown that up and said "we're good enough. Let's go prove it".

I feel like someone has come round and opened up all the curtains in the house and flooded it with sunshine after you've been home sick in bed for a while, and said "right, time to get up and look outside. It's a beautiful world out there, quit laying about".

Time to get off our knees and reclaim our heritage

Literally all the the top sportsman have it to some degree, doesn't always make the nasty or single minded, but on some level they have it. Like Leonardo said about Zlatan, its his arrogance that makes him do incredible things on the pitch that may well be beyond others with the same level of ability

Under Moyes we played well a lot of times but whenever we got results against good teams it was mainly due to organisation and defending, which are skills of course.

Yesterday we just turned up and went "we are Everton, we have come to bend you over then take the piss for the next 45 minutes, ok?". I've longed for the day.

At times I laugh to myself when we sing "we are by far the greatest team the world has ever seen", yesterday I smiled, cos it was true.

Good pal of mine is a pro golfer. Not in a club pro, but played on the Tour, now a senior. He told me a story about when he met Franz Klammer at a Pro/Celeb thing.

Asked him how he had been so great for so long. Klammer said. "I know I am the quickest, and I know they know I am the quickest"

Not a perfect analogy to a team sport, but you get the point. We do our job, stuff you.

I wouldn't say it's arrogance, a very measured confidence maybe.

I was getting hard watching us play yesterday.

It was like that every week when I started going to the match.

Longed for this, we have.

My Dad said this. I remember him saying to me when I was about 12 "you think this is good, and it is, but it's not proper football. It's not Everton. You'll know proper football when you see it". Said yesterday that it was like the mid 80s again, and bloody hell this is proper football.

Exactly that.
