I read this comment "Everton were only three goals down at half-time, after all, and perfectly happy to settle for a 4-0 result after a taking a pounding" in an article by Paul Wilson entitled "Brendan Rodgers' vintage side in the making leaves Anfield stunned" and I was a bit disappointed, not because of anything to do with Liverpool just because I couldn't believe anyone would be happy about that, so I sent him an email.

Is it me who's on the wrong end of this, do people feel the same way as Mr Wilson?
Dear Mr Wilson,
As an Evertonian I was disappointed to see your comment "Everton were only three goals down at half-time, after all, and perfectly happy to settle for a 4-0 result after a taking a pounding".
I am aware that you are an Evertonian also, but I would hope that you do not think you can speak for the whole fanbase or, indeed, the football club. I, for one, and indeed every other Evertonian I know, were not at all "happy to settle" for that scoreline and I would be extremely surprised (and, frankly, horrified) if that was the mindset of Mr Martinez and the playing squad.
Regards

Well I was. And I know several other Blues who realised it could have been much worse. The way the first half went, just one more goal in the second seemed a bit of a relief. I even heard one prominent EFC fan describe it as a reprieve. PW

I realise it could have been worse but that is different from being happy to be beaten 4-0 by our local rivals.
Is it me who's on the wrong end of this, do people feel the same way as Mr Wilson?
