The Spurs situation and Everton

[PeterGet]

Spurs are seemingly spiralling out of control and the “cheese room” is more Dairylea than Neals Yard.

What can Everton learn from this?

Is the situation caused by over expansion or a focus on Europe? Has the constant Managerial changes made the club unstable?

Should we sign Richarlison? Anyone else?

Have they focused too much on corporate activity and the stadium?

 

[Blackwell Livermore]

Yes to Richarlison. Is he back from injury?

Yeah he played last night. I’d sign him in a second

All I know is that no one is too big to go down and the jackals in the press love to smell the scent of a giant carcass to feed upon.

A club like Tottenham shouldn't be in the position they're in. Neither should we have been. But at some point you've got to fight and unless Spurs do they could easily be wandering in the wilderness for a season or so.

Clear difference in the fanbase....

When we were in peril we came together and created an atmosphere that made it impossible for the players to let us down....

Their lot are leaving at half time.....


Barring local rivalries them and Newcastle are the teams I like to see struggle most....

Years of being held back because players preferred a safe move to London or a couple more quid in the bank seeing us miss out on targets that could have seen us push on made me pretty bitter towards them...


Would love to see them go down

We have a lot of moaners, much negativity in our fanbase, especially in places like these, but...
When we were in a similar mess recently MANY EVERTONIANS stood up, the fans took to the streets, directors did not turn up, the blue flares smoked the streets out, we even help dogs aloft! All that DID help.
What are Spurs fans doing?

 

[ToffeeScot]

Spurs fans and players believe that the club is one of the best clubs in the PL and belongs in the CL.

Their mentality is awful, but as Chiellini said, It is the history of the Tottenham.

They're too proud to play or believe they have to play in a certain way to dig deep and get results when they need to but they're just not good enough to play or be at the level they think they are in this league.

When that psyche infects a club it's hard to get away from.

Said that to my lad last night. Their players don't look up for the fight and neither do the fans.

Although we'd question the merits of some of our squad from a footballing perspective, I can't remember ever thinking that any of them weren't putting in 150% effort to try and keep us in the league.

As you say, the atmosphere we created probably made it impossible for them to give anything less.

There was a whole range of emotions on the concourses at half time in both the Palace and Bournemouth games but I don't recall a single seat being empty around us in the 2nd halves.

I'm hoping Everton are in the process of coming out the other end of a pretty dreary period, whilst Spurs are entering theirs it seems.

Probably more about what lessons they could learn from us than what we could learn from them.

They seem to hang their hat on the whole 'best stadium in the country' spiel and how many NFL games/music gigs they can put on, and football seems secondary. They've consistently spunked money on players that seem to have potential but turn up at Spurs and regress. I'm not overly arsed whether they go down or not, but there does seem to be a greater level of arrogance about them nowadays that maybe needs to be slapped out of them if they hope to get out of the current mess.

They have had the worst season imaginable with injuries. With a good manager, they have a top 8 squad.

Seen bigger teams relegated, just in the last 10 years. No reason why these dog breath scruff pigs can’t join them.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

I think last night proved beyond all doubt that everton are a much bigger, and more important institution than spurs. And no amount of pretend rugby or Beyoncé concerts will change that.

 

[davek]

Everton need to take note that this is happening for Spurs.

Do we think that new stadium of ours and its environs would be conducive to generating the type of communal response to save the club's bacon again?

A soul-less anodyne environment like that? A stadium with zero reference apart from badges 50 foot off the ground on the corners of the east and west stands to the team that play in it? A stadium claimed by rugby league and union?

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Poorly run.
CL money means you shouldn't be in their position.
It's easy to blame the stadium and crowd.
Players look like they aren't interested.

 

[Nymzee]

What can we learn from this?

We've just been in this???
