Ok, we got the stability we were after and it would have been great to get into Europe this season in what has been an opportunity handed to us on about three different plates. What disappoints me is we haven't played to the very end this season busting a gut to finish as best as we possibly can. Since beating Chelsea 3-0, it's like we've kicked back a little and are seeing the season out.
Today I saw a Sunderland team working hard for 90 minutes. Even at 3-1 they were bombing forward for the 4th.
Tottenham will be right up for it next week, we won't. It will be a typical Everton last day of the season performance and we'll lose.
I don't know what the message is from
Moyes and Irvine, if the word safety and stability and plans for next season are top of the agenda in team meetings then it makes sense as to what we are seeing on the pitch.
Let's make the change as we are going back to the jobs for the boys mentality and playing on the "plucky little Everton" tag too much.
Imagine a better manager with a Garner, N'Diaye,
KDH,
Rohl, JOB and
Branthwaite at his disposal. You won't see
Michael Keane on the pitch whatsoever.
May even see the emergence of
Aznou and
Dibling.
lets go for the next step. No point waiting another year just to watch the same again.
