Can anyone on here tell me if our manager ever had the following team on the pitch: Pickford Coleman Godfrey Mina Deyne Allen Davies Dacoure James DCL Richy

Don't think so. Started the season with that pretty much, except Keane in for Godfrey and Gomes for Davies.

on the one hand we have a world class manager who can attract some big name players who will over time improve us tenfold
on the other hand we have had some real poor performances against the likes of newcastle, southampton, bournemouth, leeds, west ham etc.
there's a fine balance between the two but at the moment we can still qualify for europe which would have been the aim at the start of the season, champions league would be a dream if it happens
we have been involved in alot of tight games where we have won by the single goal or lost by the single goal.
do we have a certain style of playing, im not sure, if we do its to stay in games for as long as possible and grind out a result, so far its been effective in terms of our league position
as a fan base we would like to see progression on the field but i guess that might some next summer with some more 'ancelotti' recruits
i think we do have to give carlo some more time, at least another 12-18 months before we can really judge him on his team and his style of play
i see results like the away win at liverpool and remain optimistic that he can create something special here
with he present squad we would get slaughtered in europe
still remember beating wolfsburg 4-1, wolfsburg had 27 shots on goal

People who point to the Anfield away win like we wasn’t just one of 8 teams on the run who managed to get something there this year.
Certainly true that any Everton manager faces fan criticism. I can't recall the last manager there was universal adoration of. Royale? I'll bet he got heat too in some quarters.
Martinez was either Mr sexy football or a defensively inept wham chatting clown. Moyes ranged from a stability bringing hero doing his best in trying circumstance a dour anti-football heathen holding us back. Koeman, well, he's not liked. Ditto Sam. Silva is just meh, doesn't really arouse strong opinion.
Ancelotti is continuing in a long line of Everton managers being criticised. You can't please all of the people all the time.
this is @Cerys or Carlo Ancelotti now, I'm getting a bit lost here
I don't agree with your summary of either.
Keane has played to a high standard all season. Our defence has generally been solid and he ghastly been the dominant influence throughout.
David Ancelotti named Tom Davies as the most improved player in the squad and he is still only 22/23.
I have seen him give great performanceservice this year and shut up a vocal minority of his critics simply by the quality of his performancestuff
But, of course there is still plenty of room for improvement in both.
Could be the one and same person for all we know. Spooky, eh?
But that was probably the loss that hurt them most.

We got beat by the under 9s at anfield. And multiple b and c teams and teams in terrible form. All the while teams have played in the conference promoted all the way to the prem, beat them at anfield and went back down again. It was a major mental block. 21 years. Everton have craped themselves. Now your going to try am down play it. I don't care if Liverpool have lost every single game up to it. A major achievement in terms of Everton.
Oh, I don't know, Klopp is such a magnanimous guy, he seems to take any loss in stride and accept it as part of football.
If anything, he could do with upping his excuses game.
