Right now this club is a shambles

[Gladystweet]

Bit of serious dramatics here. The team is far from useless. Walsh on the other hand needs to start answering questions.

You're mad.

You're probably right mate!

I blame the awful kit.

Don't win games with a shirt like ours.

We've been crap since Umbro came back.

We've been crap since Umbro came back.

Have we won a game with Angry Birds yet as well ?

Haven't been good since we got rid of this beauty. Time to bring it back i say

Its laughable that people think us spending time on Iceland meant we couldnt do other deals, for the 3rd window on the run somebody has dropped the ball, its not Dave, he was all over the place nailing those deals, its not Koeman, he was on the golf course, which leaves The chairman and the DoF and anybody else involved in getting deals done.

If somebody needs to lose their job, it simply must be the person whos job it is to get the right players in, we are starting a 20 year old Striker who has scored 3 goals in his whole career, thats not Koemans fault.

Of course not. But I firmly believe we didn't spend half as much effort in getting a striker than we did on Siggurdson. We only ramped up our striker search rolling into the last month of the window - Costa, Giroud etc

I honestly don't think he had a firm eye on who he wanted as a striker in comparison to getting players like Keane, Sigurdsson, Klassen.

Once Costa and Giroud turned their nose up at us, what was the plan?

I think he and Walsh were happy that who they got in attack wise could get 10 goals a piece.

There may well be a lot involved in transfers, but are we really going to believe that players like Klaassen dont have Koeman's prints all over them? Or the pursuit of Sigurdsson who he was a long term admirer of?

Re Martinez: he had to go. His brand of football couldn't be sustained at a club with the players we have. He was a dreamer to think he could continue the progress after that first season - a season that stands out like a beacon since the 80s for football. But Martinez had a plan. A method. Koeman is drifting from one game to another with no identity for this team. No one has the foggiest about what he's seeking to achieve on the pitch. It's a different kettle of fish altogether.

This is absolute worst part about it for me D. Even when we were turgid at least you knew they'd have a go. They'd kick players or something.

Under Moyes, we knew we were going to be rubbish under December then we'd get into gear and we'd be sound. We'd take a few scalps and have a few decent runs. Ultimately we'd fail as results like losses away at Reading and West Brom would come back to bite us.

It pains me so so much to see an absolute inept Everton team without a clear system or an identity that you can get behind.

He's finished and he knows it. As we've said, he's waiting for it now. He doesn't care.

Panic, the plan b was to panic.

So somebody isnt able to perform their duties = SACK.

Nope, he spent the whole month of August saying we needed a Striker, we needed a Striker WHILE we had Lukaku.

Why blow 24 million on Klassen if the idea was to eventually sign the Sig?
No out and out goalscorer we never had any funds left on deadline day end of!
A scramble to sell any surplus players KM went up for sale at dinner time on the last day!

Again, in August. He should've been on about it when the season finished and we should've had options lined not hoping for Giroud and Costa.

Even away from the striker situation. It's one player. We spent £200million to go backwards.

If it was a case of playing well but not finishing, fine. But from the defence, to the midfield, to attack it's woeful. He's stripped any pace from the side, and creativity or vision.

That elusive striker would not change that

A Striker would have pushed the whole team up the pitch, given us a focal point and allowed him to build a team around it.

I said when the window closed that the lack of striker would hurt us and its proven so.

Klaassen is an 8, Iceland is a 10.

We had only Tom Davies who can play the 8 and Ross Barkley who can play the 10, we needed both players.

16th in the table, 2 wins, 5 goals scored in 8 prem league games, -8 goal difference, lacking any quality, piss poor performances, struggling to create chances, a manager who hasn't got a clue, I think at this moment in time the team is useless, actually, a shambles would be a better description mate.
