Not that we are comparable to city when they got their cash injection but they still had mark Hughes as manager then. The same mark Hughes who's been sacked twice in the same calendar year. They had a plan and implemented an organisational structure that allowed them to get the man they wanted, 8 years it's taken them to get to where they are. Marco silva is a good coach, him and brands have a plan you've just got to look at the players theyve brought in this season. We are in inconsistent but that's to be expected imo given the first 11 changes.
Digne
Zouma
Richarlison
Bernard
Andre gomes
Last season we lined up with:
Baines
Jagielka
Tosun
Davies
Schneiderlin
We are moving forward, it's clearly a work in progress and theres a lot of work to do to change the mentality of the squad but also the club as a whole. We've talked about competing for a long time now but not done it. Compare the talk coming out of our club vs the talk coming out from spurs who are competing now. Stop saying. Start doing.
The manager and his team need more time. I dont think we are good enough and understand the frustration but hes been here less than 6 months. We've gone from being antifootball last season to playing some genuinely good stuff at times this season. I do think we've been badly unlucky this season but you make your own luck. More time with the squad, a few more winners in the squad and we will be closer. The gap to the top 6 is huge. Remove Mourinho from the equation and the top 6 would be out of site by now, to everyone not just Everton. Yes we've invested and largely spunked money away but who hasn't in this league? The transfers this season have been spot on. Here's hoping 2019 is a better year for us but the signs are encouraging which is more than can be said for this time last year.
