Spot on all that.
The word "philosophy" was denigrated by Evertonians when they wanted Martinez out. Not that they didn't have a right to want him out toward the end as it had obviously (for one reason or another) gone west. But what happened was a total reaction against anyone having a method or particular style of playing: many/most just wanted "effort" and talked up the view that "we just want our players to get stuck in". Koeman filled that vacuum gladly by emphasising fitness over style and technique. Then in the summer he dispensed with an orthodox attack and we suddenly had nothing to make all the running round work. Allardyce has compounded it all with his very basic approach to the game. And now we are lacking identity and any sense of what we are as a club.
Pragmatism has failed us. It's time to bring philosophy back.
Every manager who plays attacking football is called Martinez the second now too!! See silva.
We need a manager who can set a team up to a style of play over a period of years not throw in the towel..
Moshiri needs to show some balls and get Fonseca, Silva or another attacking coach and let them build something. Fans could take another year of 7th-8th if the manager has a plan!!
Walsh koeman Big Sam, are all Moshiri appointments and there is no structure just throw cash around!! This would be fine if we had a lot of money but I can’t perosnally see another 200£Million being spent. He could just lose interest in everton like a randy Lerner type.
What worries me is Bill and Farhad have gone awfully quiet that is alarming!!
