Progress

[Khalekan]

You mean endless purposeless passing and conceding goals for fun, yeah I was happy as hell this time last year.
Not that I'm euphoric now like, but at least I'm hopeful it'll improve.

Not this time last year, my friend.

The football was exuberant and the goals were flying in from all over the pitch.

But happen you have false memory syndrome

I kinda get what you mean mate, but it all just seemed to fall to pieces after that Bournemouth game. After that we've been dire ever since.

Look in the mirror Blues.
The first half today was like a morgue. Quieter.
Guy next to me spent most of the game looking at his phone.
Get involved FFS and we might not spend the festive period like we did the last 2 seasons.

To me unbeaten at home is progress.
Not leaking at set pieces is progress.
Mostly the atmosphere and the closing down is progress.
If Koeman can deliver me a half decent XMAS and new year where Martinez couldn't then that's REAL progress.
IMO if you haven't got a sore throat then you were doing it wrong today.

you cant get excited about mediocrity. or can you? This season was meant to be a new dawn but in effect its same old. if you can get excited about mediocrity and criticise others when they dont then it says more about you. koeman hasnt improved anything. its stagnation. until he gets the players playing to what he wants/expects then hes no better/worse than martinez. you cant criticise people for getting not getting excited about a false dawn

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

Its not about league position for me, 7th.11th i'm not arsed, I just want to see good football

You'll be waiting a very long time based on the first games of his reign

I'm not saying people should be excited about anything.
I'm just saying they should do their bit and get flaming angry, loud and passionate at Goodison.
IMO they have except today and the Palace game.
It's too early to say for sure if Koeman's improved anything. Time will tell.
But FFS work your vocal chords with me, try and make a difference, because I can't stand a winter like the last two. Please.

 

[lancs blue]

koeman aint a clue. he just talks a good game unlike martinez. barca wouldnt touch him with a barge pole

 

[gorgeousgeorgeEFC]

The abuse that some of our players receive from their own "supporters" is nothing short of disgraceful. Is it any wonder that our team so often under-performs when playing at home?!

We are Everton. We are better than this.

I clap every piece of tosh these clowns serve up on a weekly basis, I never voice my displeasure loudly, I go to games to SUPPORT.

if you shout at a dog when its biting you its still gonna bite. the players are indifferent to fans opinions and have been for a while now. koeman said before the first game players were 70pc fit. that aint changed theres no intensity. as for the transfer and transfer targets ive been let down so many times before i cant get excited. koeman sees this as a short term project. as to whether he will be given the time is another matter. everton needs to be more ruthless on so many levels

Indeed, Tim.

And that game was on the last Saturday of November.

That is the point I was making to @Eggsyblueskin about the football being far better this time last year.

Prior to that Bournemouth game we had been scoring a few goals and were on a bit of a run....hold on at Bournemouth and it was 10 points from 12.

A far cry from this shambolic run since mid September.

 

[BlueToff]

We'll end up where we are now. 7th.

It's better than 11th.

Sound you've convinced me.
I'll stop giving a crap.
I'll go to the winter games in a depressed zombie haze.
Everton are turd and I'm thinking about all the loved ones lost cos it's Christmas.
Wonder if i'll top myself this time.
Nah sorry F that.
I think the crowd makes a difference, can't prove it, but I do.
GET HYPE BITCHES, IT WORKS.

keep shouting at every game. the players dont give a fluke and havent since time memorium. the only way to change things is from koeman upwards. goodison has been a vacuum for atmosphere for so long and that is down to the served on a plate. keep shouting and your connery will be the last of you. the likes of jagielka will still be earning 40k a week. some things fans can change but one is not players mentality

Could put that in to Google translate and see what it means in Sanskrit but don't want to be a Richard.
Goodison and the memories is the only reason I care about this venal, changed game.
Everton are still Everton.
What are you trying to say?
BTW I disagree about the atmosphrere, think it's been mostly good this year.

Far too many passengers in the squad at present that need clearing out, the big disappointment for me about today's result was the fact that Arsenal's late equaliser at United gave us an opening to go 5th for a few hours with a win yet we blew it especially given how close West Ham were to pulling off a win at Spurs that would have been an added bonus had we won. As is we go to Southampton next week 5 points off a Euro spot with Watford of all teams breathing down our necks
