Everton Are A Soft Touch

Some lad I vaguely knew broke both my cousins legs in a kick around on the park when I was younger. He probably went in a little harder than he should have (he was a good few years older) but 99 times out of 100 he would have just got a bruise or something.

I didn't kick the lads head in or anything, he was absolutely gutted, stuff happens.

I didnt say I expected anyone to kick his head in, or to even get in his face all angry. What I do expect is for OUR players not to be flocking around to make sure the perpetrator of their teammates' horrific injury is alright. Leave that to his own teammates. It was ludicrous behaviour from our lot, no wonder we've won nothing for years.

Just seen a great interview from someone from Everton TV who says Everton have become soft.

Couldn’t agree more.

Summed up by Sunday’s events where our Captain is consoling an opposition player... a player who has just committed a very cynical and dangerous tackle on one of our own resulting in a very serious injury.

At that moment in time the injury occurred, no one new who's fault it was for the injury. If Coleman would had kicked off and it wasn't Son who caused the injury then Coleman would had been crucified for acting in an aggressive manner, especially after he had an horrific injury himself.

We have a manager who is so meek and feeble it’s a wonder he can get through a day.

Extreme - Players & Staff often talk about how committed this guy is. He has made a lot of bold choices, most mangers would had avoided. He isn't the greatest manager in the world, but he isn't how you define him.

We have a chairman and a board who allow the club to get walked all over time after time without saying a dicky bird. Poor refereeing and VAR decisions... getting ripped off in the transfer market...not sticking up for our own.

You don't seem actually understand what goes into running a club i feel and I doubt you wouldn't be aware of when we have let clubs / organisations walk over us.

Enough is enough!

Grow a pair Everton!!
 
Spurs and Son have played a blinder here. Completely hoodwinked the media. However we can use this to our advantage. I expect Goodison to be an angry place Sat week.
 
Not the best example as its a different time and there obviously would be some personal issues there.

I do think that any other game, any other players and any other teams currently you would get a similar response.

Personally I think we should just trust the players in this scenario.
The players that I have mentioned are winners, I can see your point to an extent, however i am old school and this is something that I will have to get used to

Here‘s me thinking it was because we’ve lacked quality and been mismanaged for 20 odd years. And all along it’s been because our players don’t get angry. Dead easy, just go out and buy a couple Lee Cattermole’, a Vinny Jones or 2, a Ben Thatcher, a Francis Benali. Players that lack quality but are quite nasty. Will we start winning things then?
 
You only have to see the antics in the tunnel before the players walk out to see how soft clubs have become, admittedly I havnt seen much of that happening when we have been on tv for the away games but you see players hugging and high fiving before the games even started
 
Well firstly, people don't stay upset forever - it would be an evolutionary disadvantage to mope about. Secondly, we dont know what else happened in the interim - perhaps he spoke to Gomes and his response cheered him up.

I hope Gomes gets back o the pitch quickly, but hoping another player has lasting psychological damage isn't going to speed that on.
Where did you get that from ‘ but hoping another player has lasting psychological damage’ who wrote that chrismpw? Certainly wasn’t me.

That happens at all games, the banter, hugging, shaking hands, high fiving doesn’t seem to matter that much to other clubs yet we blame that as a reason we’ve been cack for years!
