Normally I'd get wound up after travelling to an away game and seeing us lose, but I'm still relatively calm at the moment
Yes, we're not where we currently want to be, but I think we've got a better chance of getting there than we did six months ago
We need better players, that much is obvious, but I think we need to improve our overall standing first to attract those better players
It's a hard pill to swallow that we're on a bad run, but Koeman has still had a comparatively good start when compared to our other managers in the Premier League era
Does he have what it takes? I don't know. I've seen some things I like and some things I don't. Regardless, I'm not panicking yet
I'm willing to be patient and assess things once Koeman has had more time. He's essentially having to get the team back to basics when it comes to defending, set pieces and general fitness, which won't be achieved overnight
But I'm genuinely feeling quite zen right now, as if this is the beginning of something really positive and we just need to get through the initial teething problems and start building some momentum
If you don't agree, it doesn't mean you're a bad supporter, or a plotter, or entitled, or wrong, it just means you have a different view
At the end of the day we're all blues and we all want the same thing, which is for Everton to be successful and win things. We might disagree on HOW we want them to do it, but it's still the common goal that unites us all
And that's not a bad thing, that's a good thing
