Tim, we're pretty garbage, mate

Exactly.

Because we savour a midfielder in our side who can't complete the simplest of passes. The love in baffles me. Utterly utterly bemused.

 

[hktoffee]

i thought quite a few positives from that game, miles better than West Ham thats for sure. If we can continue to play like that we will start winning games again.

Not a big fan of Davies but thought he had a good game in CM for us today.

Get Mina in and Gomes and we are looking decent. Come January a decent striker and another Midfielder please.

Digne is boss aswell

Will be going nowhere if the team can’t keep a clean sheet.

 

[Kenshin]

We are in desperate need of having all our new signings available at the same time. The losing mentality is still prevailant in the team and once we dislodge them for our better players you would hope we start to flourish and control games better.

As I will keep saying , we have the potential of 2 brazilian internationals , Columbian international and euro 2016 winning midfielder all to come into this side at the same time combined with French international left back , Coleman to come back and hopefully find form, tosun with s point to prove and then hungry squad players who have lost their place as a result.

Yes the team is still crap but there is plenty of potential there still as shown for the first half of today. The weakest areas are the same weak areas that the management team identified in the summer and until they are fit Silva is limited to what he can do.

Always says a lot when the opposition goalkeeper is man of the match.

 

[BlueToff]

In the cold light of day we simply were no where near good enough.

No change from the Koeman era as yet.

But that's wrong, isn't it?

We didn't take our chances but - as Aubameyang has said - Cech kept them in that game in the first half.

They took their chance when it came and scored a goal that was offside.

The annoyance is we never looked likely to get back in it once they did score.

 

[Barnfred 55]

When was the last time we played poor and won?

No team is poor if they win.

I can name you a few from last season mate

 

[daza_1973]

Thanks Marco / Everton another Monday morning listening to patronising RS with Prozac smiles saying - I don't know why you got rid of Sam he did a good job.

10 DRINK " BLEACH"
20 GOTO 10

I think a 2-0 defeat would be a decent result.

Mate, this is pretty much an entirely new set of players though in terms of the last five years. They've only been here a year.

This 'mentality' issue is bull.

It comes down to quality. All round. We needed to put our chances away. We didn't.

So have our top signings this summer. Walsh and koeman were totally inept they made so many signings, big money ones which I said were not good enough for this club. Players like mina, digne, Bernard and Richarlison are without doubt a step above. Another few windows of players of that calibre and we'll be on the right road.

They ones who have been playing have shown in the short time that they've slotted in well already.

Clutching.

We’re basing our opinion of Mina on 4 games at the World Cup, hasn’t kicked a ball for us yet. Bernard hasn’t started games for us so let’s not make him out to be David Silva MKII just yet eh.

 

[zook]

It’s a vast improvement on being wham for 90 mins of virtually every game last season. It boils down to glass half full or half empty; I’m choosing the former because I think there’s enough in this team, and enough still to come in, to have us troubling the Europa places and maybe even a cup.

I know we say it every year but we have to go all out for the league cup, no better chance of winning a tin than that one

 

[tommytowne]

I think next week's game could possibly rank as the earliest six pointer we've played.

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

In the cold light of day we simply were no where near good enough.

No change from the Koeman era as yet.

This was definitely a better performance than the Everton of twelve months ago. We have improved, but we have a long, long way to go yet to challenge the top six.

 

[Bob Latchford]

DCL should never have started over Cenk.

I think DCL is getting a bit better to be fair to him.
We could be doing with better but it is what it is.

 

[Abraders]

Selling Lukaku was a huge mistake. The way we have spent the majority of the money will haunt us for a long time.
