I think I appreciate his achievements a lot more now, than I did at the time. While he was certainly not perfect, we did put in some awful performances in big games, however nothing changed after he left. We got beat by the RS 4-0 twice in 3 seasons under Bobby and we haven't beat them since he left. Add to that we lost 2 winnable semi finals under Bobby as well. We've got knocked out of the domestic cups in the early rounds since Bobby left. Losing against teams such as Norwich, Leicester, Southampton and Millwall. Even in Koemann's first season we were pretty awful away from home, not having a single shot on goal against a West Ham side conceding for fun. Losing 2 goal leads at Bournmouth and Newcastle, plus losing to Liverpool and Millwall in the last minutes of games, suggests that we don't have much character.
Personally like many people I've just given up with Everton atm, there's nothing to like about us, we weren't that far behind teams like Spurs and the RS a few years ago, now they're miles ahead of us. Even in the derby, when we played pretty well, we din't really create any proper chances. I don't know how we've gone from thinking about challenging the top four, to being happy if we simply draw with the big teams. I thought Tim Howard made dome ridiculous mistakes, but he's not even in the league of the clown in goal now. Plus Howard didn't cost 30 million.
