Spot in this Dave, it's felt like a huge, collective kick in the teeth to the fanbase after all the fanfare. The heart of the club appears to be as incompetent as ever at customer relations.

If your worst enemy had chosen to write a script of how the first few months of the season were to roll out for you this is what it would have looked like.

Terrible leadership on and off the pitch, unacceptable results and performances that are then described as acceptable by the club itself.

It's a crisis. Make no mistake about that.

What a load of nonsense, I never said you can't be annoyed at his statement. I said it's ridiculous to think other fans give a toss about moshiri's comments. There are Everton threads on lots of other footy fans forum... guess how many of them feature people talking Moshiri's comments...

It's a non story which hasn't even made the mainstream press. You're being an overly dramatic fanny, it really is that simple.



Hardly anyone mocks West Ham bar their local rivals and I live in friggin London. A few cringey kids on the daily mail website chatting wham does not = people routinely mock them. Even if it was true (again, it's not) then who cares ? Oh no some people on the internet are making fun of some comments a director made, waaaaaaah, its not fair. What are you 10 years old ?

Get a grip. By all means get angry that it's not a wise comment from an owner but to try and make out that everyone is going to be mocking us for it is delusional. It's a non story.

Sorry, you're sat there tossing insults round and asking me if i'm 10 years old? Oh mate.

I'm not being dramatic at all. I'm not talking about it being all over the press, or people stopping eachother in the street to discuss it. I'm saying that I think people who take an interest in football in general will know about it, and it will colour their perception of Everton as a club. I don't know if I just know an odd group of people because people said exactly the same to me about Moshiri's comments on deadline day - that nobody knew or cared about them - and yet in both cases I've been contacted by different people who heard them and passed comment on them. It's almost as if football fans actually watch Sky Sports and listen to Talksport.

It doesn't matter to me in the grand scheme of things obviously, I don't go in for social media spats, even when someone calls me a fanny, so I won't be losing any sleep over it in a personal sense.@brieverton has addressed it much better than I can in his post above though - in my opinion it's damaging to Everton as a 'brand'. I think the phrase 'fake it til you make it' is relevant here. If you act like a big club, people will start to see you as a big club. If people start to see you as a big club, you can actually become a big club. There's a reason why many football fans refer to the 'Sky 6' rather than the 'top 6' or 'big 6'. It's because media perception makes a big difference to how a club is seen in the game. If you act small time and say you expect to lose games, how do you think you're going to be reported on in the press and portrayed on TV? If you don't think that has any effect then fine, we'll agree to disagree.

...he made the wrong move. He should have gone for pace and width...that's what you do to a team with 10 men: stretch them and get them going backwards. We put on two static central playing players.

Shambles.

Absolutely agree with this, and said the same at the time... gave certain sections of the pitch far too much room.

I came away from that game thinking that Koeman is not normal... and its only got worse since then lollollollol

Gone right off Farhad I have.

He's not the sugar daddy I was hoping for.

Yes, I'm slowly but surely getting that way myself. His statement has all but finished me.

Am still clinging onto hope - I still refuse to believe that interview with all Jim on transfer deadline day was actually him and it wasn't Sacha Baron-Cohen doing some sort of impression.

Gets the stadium built I'll be relatively happy, gets ruthless with Koeman, I'll be relatively happy.

However, to say Burnley was the only "unexpected" loss and that statement in general was absolute mentalism - and he has a long way to claw himself back now.

In hindsight yes.

I think he wanted us to have more possession though, and hold the ball up the pitch.

But I said after the game that yes, Mirallas or Lookman would have been the better change rather than Gylfi.

But, he tried to go for the win. He made the wrong call, but it wasn't being negative.

...we allowed 10 men to boss us in a game of football for a whole half of a game we were one goal up in. They were there to be dispatched by a couple of goals at least.

Agreed, they were the home team down a goal and down a man. I don't mind letting them have the ball as long as we look to counter effectively but as you said it was just disappointing how we let them boss the game to the point were the equaliser was obviously coming.
