"Smaller Team"

[Neiler]

"I like their manager (David Moyes). He did a great job last year and he can be one of the examples we can use. They’re a smaller team who got good results and it would be great for us to emulate them or maybe do even better". Gianfranco Zola

According to Mr Zola we're a smaller team, im not really sure should we be insulted or complimented by his comments.

Are they fair, unfair? Is he talking about the Squad or the Team?

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Well, he wants to emulate us... emulating a small side wouldn't make much sense.

Assume he means small as in, not a top four?

I hope Moyes posts that little sentence on the dressing room door for all the boys to read before they walk onto the pitch.

 

[kenada_blue]

Quality player though hhehe

 

[Whitebootman]

Did he do that interview standing on a box

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Yeah, I assumed he meant small as in short. We're well known for having a short midfield, and he's a short guy himself.

If he did mean small as in small, *shrug*, who cares?

As Howard Roark might say. "But I don't think of you." Best insult you can give.

 

[Desaparecido]

No point getting annoyed about it. When Benitez said it, it was calculated. Zola's a nice chap, this one is more of an 'affable idiot' statement.

 

[kenada_blue]

Yeah, true. He probably just meant outside the Sky 4.

And literally we are a small team. We've one of the smallest squads in the prem and have done for seasons

 

[Goat]

Whys this little fool dissing us? Hes just trying to be like the fat spanish waiter, we are gonna open up a can of whoop arse on his crappy team.

 

[Dom1878]

He said "smaller" meaning outside the top 4 - in the same league as aston villa, west ham, tottenham, newcastle portsmouth. Nothing to get in a huff about.

 

[Cal]

We are a small club, i don't see what the outrage is.

We are a small club, i don't see what the outrage is.

Everton Football Club is an English football club located in the city of Liverpool. The club competes in the Premier League and have contested more seasons in the top flight of English football than any other. Currently managed by David Moyes, they are the sixth most successful English clubs in terms of major honours, having won the League Championship nine times, the FA Cup five times and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup once.

Just to remind you who you support.

We have a "big Club" history...but have started to decrease in stature...
