Biggest let down in recent times

[McMagic]

Can't remember that. Were we playing scrabble?

Ah yes, I remember it well, Quarter-final home to Reading, Bill Kenwright chose to watch one of his 'arsepart' shows, before
his beloved EVERTON.

think he is saying that as you are in your late 80's you should have a good experience of all our disappointments..

Joel Robles

Great keeper - still waiting for a pm when Pickford keeps ten clean sheets in a third of a season!

And yet, all of Martinez seasons were the most exciting of all Everton seasons I've been a part of - barring the FA Cup final season with Moyes.

We actually did bits.

Exciting in what way?

I found the football boring, slow and predictable in his second and third season. There was a spell in the early part of the 15-16 season where we did alright. Barkley did well, Deulofeu was providing assists all the time for Lukaku, and we dished out some hammerings to Villa and Sunderland. But they were poor sides and that was the main reason, and for me the wheels came off completely in that 3-3 at Bournemouth. Even in that Sunderland game, I seem to remember us going 2-0 up, and then giving away some poor goals for them to get back to 2-2.

Obviously his first season was excellent and one of the most enjoyable in the Premier League era for the supporters.

My proposal is out there for all the Robles haters feel confident no pm this season over the clean sheet issue and our useless manager if that changes probably will get bombarded with them when it happens - which will be good news if we keep ten clean sheets in a third of a season

The semi versus the banjo pluckers. Sometimes your heart sinks so low with Everton.
Consistently not maintaining momentum when opportunities are there, the self inflicted glass ceiling.....

I just don’t know why you’re bringing the Prime Minister into this Joey I really don’t.

It would help if he had a defence in front of him

Vitualy the same as last season!
In fact an expensive new centre half added!

Selling Lukaku to man Utd and getting Rooney in return., Makes me feel sick when I think about it. that's as far back as the millennium there may be worse before that.

 

[Black Belt Jones]

Remember coming home from a match in Martinez's second season really excited at seeing a spine of Stones, Barkley, and Lukaku on the park. All U23 and all looked like they could become genuine world class players - they could absolutely dominate their position for the next ten years, and I doubt I've seen a higher quality CH-CM-CF trio at Everton.

The match was a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace at home like, so probably that was a clue that I needed to rein the optimism in a bit...

It's like trading in a Bugatti Veron for a rusty old VW Beetle with skid marks on the passenger seat.
