My issues with the statement.
Unexpected losses. Ffs how small minded are Everton to not go into the first games and try and win them? We expected to lose them, wow. Why should the players or fans be arsed if the owner doesn't care we lost then games? Yea the teams are better than us and they were difficult games but even losing to spurs or Chelsea should be hard to take for anyone at this club. We aren't meant to lose games therefore any loss is unexpected. How do we plan to win European trophies if we aren't surprised at losing against the very first team we play in the competition proper ?
Also mental and physical fatigue? On October 1st? Really? After using 23 players so far? How are we meant to have a winning mentality if we believe we are mentally and physically fatigued so quickly? How do we win trophies then with all the added games? And why don't actual successful clubs cry fatigue after only 6 weeks of a 9 month season?
The statement personally, is a joke and represents to me the same small minded belief that this club has had for 20 years now. Where is the passion and drive? It's not coming from anyone at the club clearly. So why as a fan should I care? I shouldn't be bothered about us getting beat by teams above us as they are classed as expected so why should I believe in the team when the owner doesn't?
