HAPPY FAT SAM DAY

[zukai12_]

The more I hear about Fat Sam, the more glad I am that I basically ignored that season after the Europa disgrace

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

That was truly a time when I did not like Everton... the football was dire, the results were not good and the press conferences were just embarrassing. Never his fault, huge ego and only one style of play - bad! he was Everton's Trump. Thank god he is gone!

 

[gianthogweed]

I loved how much he p!ssed klopp off when we drew at anfield ...what did you make of that Jurgen ? Klopp i don't know what it was but it wasn't football

 

[Joey66]

A mixed bag of dire footy and ace gravy puns.

DCL on the wing oh well at least we had a hardworking winger ....& full backs

 

[4737carlin]

We haven't finished better than the 8th place he got us to either.
And that was in half a season after Koeman had scuttled the first half of the season.

Carlo is a better manager, but sacking Sam is nothing to celebrate since we went backwards

PMSL, Klopp still had his old teeth & hair back then !!!

 

[Ballymoney1]

He did what we paid him to do, get us out of the [Poor language removed]. We were in serious danger of relegation before he came in. I don't like his football but he did serve his purpose.
I remember Rooney getting a late penalty to get us a point at Anfield. Dogged backs to the wall stuff that you wouldn't want us to repeat every week but it felt good to get something from there at the time.

I remember just having what can only be described as a meltdown as it happened. Nothing has made me as angry since. In a strange way, having him for 6 months has essentially made me quite sanguine and balanced to everything else that has followed.

To be fair, it wasn't.
We may have got a point but it was a truly depressing performance

I had an unpleasant diagnosis from an Oncologist 2 years ago yesterday and I am more troubled by this.

 

[TheSecondComing]

Has it really got any better like really has it?

Sad thing is, apart from a couple of performances this season, we haven't really progressed much since he left. Or at least, not as much progress as we should have made. At least sam's team had an identity, a brutally ugly identity at that, but at least the players looked like they understood the plan they were supposed to implement on the pitch.

This present lot under carlo don't look like they have a clue at times. There doesnt seem to be a clear philosophy on the pitch, it just looks off the cuff a lot of the time and that's worrying for a supposed top coach.

 

[blue61]

We'll be hiring him again in the new year when we get knocked out of the cup by Marine in the 4th round.

 

[evertony]

Possibly the lowest point in my everton supporting history. Did we not go about 3 games without a shot on target? Couldn’t mock any other teams time either with that bloater in charge.

No ‘possibly’ about it. That was the darkest ever period in my Evertonian existence. It’s still sickens, embarrasses and bewilders me now how he got the gig here.

I think it’s more likely that the current squad don’t have the technical proficiency or the confidence to adapt quickly to a new approach.
