Current Optimism Level

[Marcus Kendall]

Looking back Silva was unlucky with zouma and not getting a decent replacement and if memory serves me we seem to spend too much time on getting giroud only for his wife to say no to the move
But after the Derby defeat he was cooked

And losing Idrissa

 

[Rita_Poon]

Can you honestly see Moyes wanting Lukaku?

yes.

He was cooked before that, if you’re talking about the 5-2 derby defeat. He’d lost 3 on the bounce prior to that, we’d not lost 4 on the bounce since Martinez over Christmas 13/14 prior to that. The only reason he took that game was because the club didn’t want to give a new manager that with 3 days notice after we’d lost to Leicester 4 days before and a few days prior to that we lost 2-0 at home to Norwich

 

[Marcus Kendall]

yes.

Running the channels?

Running the channels?

no.

 

[Marcus Kendall]

no.

That's what Moyes will want from him

Giroud was the second Koeman season.

We're Everton not Halifax Town. We should measure progress in terms of silverware.

Probably a generational thing.

More like a stupidity thing.

 

[Bluepablo]

More like a stupidity thing.

Wow, So it’s stupid to aspire to win something. The Kenwright era is still strong in the fan base.

This is professional level sport, its about winning things. Making up the numbers is not an option at this level. Even when you win you should still be looking to see if there are areas where you can improve. If you just want to jump onboard for the ride and clap hands then you are probably better off watching non league football.

Yeah mate, fanbase is still littered with hand clappers

 

[Cels]

yes.

To solve our RB problem?

 

[hallamblue]

I gave it 5. It's moved up from 2 or 3 for the past few years. We'd need 2 new good full backs and a good striker plus another direct winger before I'd move up to a 6 or 7.

 

[Saint Domingo]

I want us back in Europe, challenging for trophies, winning derbies etc. Otherwise it’s a choice between mid table mediocrity or relegation scraps. I’ll be more optimistic if we show we can push on for the end of this season and then keep building upward next season.

No, it's stupidity for that to be the only measure of success.
