Ok everyone was the wrong word but teams do improve and evolve not everyone but if you stand still you go backwards and we need to add more. One starter we have added in reality and we are about to start the season is not good enough for me ultimately I care what Everton are doing to improve not other teams. Don't listen to me the manager wanted 9 or 10, we have five and no right winger who plays there naturally its not good enough.
That's why I'm fairly optimistic as we're defensively solid and I think we'll have a better attack than last season by the end of the window. My only worry is how we'll play at our new stadium as new stadiums can inspire the visiting team whilst the home team try and get used to the new surroundings
KDH is a positive because he can retain the ball and play a striker in. A little bit though? Again who is on the bench who makes a difference. Five subs you can make now? Granted we get Dibling and Grealish and a right back cool, but I still don't think its enough it would certainly an improvement on what we have now. Which is very thin on the wings
Will take us time to get acclimatised to the new ground and yes some teams will enjoy the bigger surrounds and that its essentially an away game for both teams for the first few months.
I think it's unrealistic to think all of our problems can be solved in one window and to be honest I would sooner get the right players for every position rather than stop gaps who clog the team up for years. Trying to integrate 8/9 new players could actually completely destabilise us. A mid-table finish this year is fine.
Spot on Billy. I can see a slow start (Moyes teams usually start slowly) but hopefully there's no panic as I think after the first 10 games or so we'll start to gel
Let's keep positive. We're not Arsenal fans. There will be c.53k of us in a steep stadium by the river.
I don't though , I fully get it will take time and windows to rebuild. But I do think a right winger should have been secured its not a massive ask, is it? Seems to be with Everton who was the last natural right winger we had? Townsend? Harrison and Lindstrom were not natural there. I get the financial issues but this is chronic failure, arguably we need two wingers but like right back its just let's make do, I get you have a budget I also get some have turned us down, but the right winger was number one priority?! And we sit one week from a season without a natural one. We could have got a squad one then persued main target we have known we have needed one for years at this stage.Its perfectly fair to call that out. I am also not convinced you can rely on a 19 year old all season there we need two! Without one we are "making do" again, and unbalancing the team.
That's true Kev it's been a disgrace but I put that down to Dyche and his negative tactics when we should always be on the front foot at home from the off
We're actively trying to bring in Dibling for the right wing so the club are trying. Plus we've enquired about other players like Kubo. You can't just identify a player and buy them like that when you're a club not in Europe and with a poor recent record in the league
This always inevitably happens.. but people like to catastrophise a 'slow' start to the season because it convinces them that we're nailed on for a prolonged relegation battle apparently
True hope I am wrong just being realistic. Anyway will leave it there. Hopefully we do have a good start
I know. We're a pessimistic bunch. Not surprising after the trials and tribulations of the Moshiri eraThis always inevitably happens.. but people like to catastrophise a 'slow' start to the season because it convinces them that we're nailed on for a prolonged relegation battle apparently
He should be saying sorry to us
